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 solution has very good processes. It's very easy to deploy and has good reviews on it. It offers good automation and the solution has very good developers working on it."
"The most valuable feature is the interface, which helps to provide a good user experience."
"The dashboards are quite good, especially on the latest versions."
"The solution is very manageable."
"The most valuable feature is the rapid deployment of multiple bots."
"The ability to drag and drop various components and the customizability are good features."
"The solution has been very user-friendly."
"The solution is easy to use and easy to apply."
"The desktop Assistant tool provides a personal automation launchpad so that you can easily access and run automations. That's important because you don't have to go to someone every time you face a problem, or every time you have to run an automation process. It helps make you independent so that you can do your own tasks."
"The most valuable features of UiPath are test automation, test suite, test manager, and document understanding."
"And the UiPath user community is the best. The people there are very friendly and helpful, and engage with each other. UiPath has done a good job building a good forum and a good blog, and making the community members interact with each other. The community is one of the reasons UiPath is my choice. It is a strong community."
"I can easily get support from the UiPath forum and through the mail."
"UiPath reduces human error. That is one of the main reasons why automation is done for customers."
"Some processes are very complex and very long, and sometimes it is very hard for a human to implement them manually. AI has enabled us to automatically solve those processes that would not have been doable by a human."
"In terms of ROI, we are saving more than what the platform costs us. We are at about 1.5 million in savings due to a recent automation. It was a little less than that before. These are soft savings and don't show up on balance sheets. We're trying to work toward automations that actually do lead to hard savings. We've saved about 43,000 hours in a year so far."
"UiPath RPA needs very little coding knowledge, as designing software robots is done largely using drag-and-drop."
"Sometimes I feel like it doesn't work properly and we are not able to provide the dexterity needed."
"One aspect that can be improved is the accessibility of reusable components for developers. It relates to role-based access and accessibility."
"When somebody is just learning this product it can be difficult for them to understand, so improvements to the user interface would be helpful."
"The new version is not very stable. Sometimes I can't use the recording sound."
"The deployment could be simplified."
"The solution automation is incapable of interacting with our Pega software application development. It is based on the nested table concept and it is unable to read these tables. Several projects have been put on hold because of that."
"BotFarm newer version has been difficult to install, we have been in contact with the support on this matter."
"The only challenge that we have faced with BotFarm is that there is no continuous deployment. The whole world is moving to the DevOps model, but BotFarm is still not on the DevOps model. It should have integration with the DevOps model. The migration of the bots or bots pipeline is currently purely manual."
"There are some selector issues when it comes to web automation and desktop automation. There is a robot selector. When we feed the data, it tries to fetch the UI elements from that particular data, but that's not happening 100%. That could have some improvements."
"I think the only issue we have faced is with the upgrade compatibility."
"On the development side, more documentation on how to structure the setup for different environments would be helpful."
"I want a dashboard on pending and ongoing automation in Orchestrator. Currently, we have to check folder by folder to see them."
"The product could be made a little less glitchy. Specifically, when too many users are working at the same time, it hangs a little bit here and there."
"The speed of development needs improvement. They need to make it easier for non-trained people to be able to develop alterations that work the first time. On the development side, the initial development processes should be a focus."
"It would also be great to have UiPath Insights included in the free Orchestrator. The Insights module is currently only available for paid licenses. It would be great for developers to have it included in the free version, because then we could try it out."
"I would like to see a universal recorder feature added so that we can record Excel macros. You could then click a button to record the screen, and then all the actions across applications would be recorded. This functionality is available already in Automation Anywhere, but the last time I checked, it was not available in UiPath."
