We performed a comparison between BotFarm and UiPath based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two Robotic Process Automation (RPA) solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."The dashboards are quite good, especially on the latest versions."
"It is easy to use and very stable. It is a rugged product, and it doesn't break so easily."
"The record option and the OCR technology have been great."
"The most valuable features of this solution are the Excel automation and support for SharePoint."
"The solution is very manageable."
"The entire backend system structure is something that I found really valuable."
"BotFarm is an easy solution to use and the interface is better than older versions."
"BotFarm has been working perfectly fine with our business model. Its scalability is the most valuable feature. We can easily scale out bots on a need basis. Portability is another valuable feature. We work with different payment systems like Visa and MasterCard and have bots for them. Because of BotFarm, we are able to reuse these bots."
"UiPath Studio has all kinds of tools and it's practical to navigate around the application. Implementing any project can be done very quickly using UiPath."
"The customer support is supportive and knowledgeable. They are always willing to help and support me."
"The user community is definitely useful."
"The UI Explorer in the UiPath Studio is valuable. We can get a unique and dynamic selector for every element in the UI, which is helpful for me in finding out a particular UI element. Most of my automations have had UI interactions. So, I found it the most helpful feature."
"The process design work and the workflow management and the custom templates, those features are the most valuable to us right now."
"Since we are getting information out to folks faster, they can spend the resource time needed to determine the best approach for what to replace it with, or if we need to work with a sales rep. It ensures that our staff have the best tools to do their job faster."
"UiPath is an efficient and user-friendly tool."
"It is as simple as dirt."
"I would definitely be wanting to see OCR features for improving the solution."
"An area for improvement in BotFarm is that the communication between the Control Room and the Bot Client Missions isn't utilized well. There's also the issue with PCI DSS compliance or certain regulations that require a set of configurations that are not fully supported by BotFarm. The product should be certified or designed according to the required regulations in the finance industry to make it better."
"The stability needs to be improved."
"The user experience could be made a little better with this solution. I find it difficult to find qualified people to be able to use the solution."
"We have connectivity and integration with pretty much every single tech stack across the table that we have in the world, and there are a few areas that they don't do that well yet. I'd be looking for some improvement there, in terms of their integration with certain products."
"One aspect that can be improved is the accessibility of reusable components for developers. It relates to role-based access and accessibility."
"The OCR command needs to improve. This feature is used to convert the extracted data from an image file. While converting this file I was facing a lot of issues with the data because it was getting lost and some of the data which was extracted was mismatched. The data loss was rated as a nine and the data accuracy was a massive decrease and was up to 80%."
"We do have some troubles with the internal software commands, but we have been troubleshooting this bug to fix it."
"The cost can be a barrier."
"UiPath needs to improve its onboarding and operational excellence."
"There are a lot of solutions in UiPath where we have to know some programming languages. I'd like to cut some of that out, with features that perform those tasks without having to know programming languages. I work a lot with my team members who don't really know programming that well, and I have to walk them through how to do different coding things to effectively develop their RPA."
"You can't write small snippets of code. If you want to do a single code snippet, this is not available by default."
"UiPath should add support for more programming languages, such as Python, in addition to VBScript, to help developers with their coding."
"When it comes to debugging, there is some improvement needed for UiPath compared to other RPA tools. There are features to edit the workflow or content of the automation file while we are debugging. For example, we have 10,000 lines of code that we have integrated by 10 different users. So, there is one integrated code and you are debugging it. After some time, you might find a line which is not an error. You may have forgotten to remove it or change the value to your desired criteria. It is really a pain to stop the entire debug session and just edit it, then start again at zero. It will do the same steps again just to reach that level or step where you were actually stuck previously. Whereas, in different automation tools, whether you are on the findings step or in-between a debug session, you can actually edit that information. This is good because sometimes the developer also forgets to add or remove certain values in-between a long code. I think this should be improved in UiPath. This should already be in consideration because I have been in touch with UiPath a couple of times because of this."
"UiPath is not easy to work with, as a vendor, from a partner perspective. They are difficult to deal with."
"The initial setup process seemed very complicated."
