Automation has streamlined client data extraction and has improved reporting for business decisions
I work as a developer, and my manager is responsible for the research and analytics for the project with the client and business users. I am satisfied with BotFarm. I would rate my experience with BotFarm an eight out of ten. I do not see any room for improvement for BotFarm. I am using AI tools such as Amazon, Microsoft Azure, and ChatGPT. I am not using AI-powered bots in BotFarm. I am a partner with Automation Anywhere.

Helped us identify areas where frontline staff aren't following standard procedures or using unexpected systems, giving us better insight into our end users' workflows
To analyze and make sense of the data generated by Kryon process discovery can be a lot of effort. It's not as automatic as some might think. It really depends on how many processes you have and how actively you use them. But the scalability aspect isn't necessarily about deployment or technical maintenance. It's really about how you analyze and gain insights from the data gathering. I'd rate the scalability a seven out of ten because the solution has been scaling well for a long time. It's very easy to deploy. But getting value out of it at scale can be a challenge, just like with any deployment. We use it mainly for process discovery. We actually proceed it from different teams. So, we have 15 licenses that we rotate with different people, actually through different teams. So, we do discovery for the online team; we gather the results after about two weeks to a month. We analyze those results, and then we deploy them again on the analytics team. We regularly deploy it to different teams. So, it's in constant use. It just runs on the systems through discovery mode most of the time.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"BotFarm is an easy solution to use and the interface is better than older versions."
"The most valuable feature of BotFarm is the fact that we can use escalations when we need more computer power to fulfill all embargo that we receive in one day."
"The most valuable feature is the rapid deployment of multiple bots."
"The solution has been very user-friendly."
"It is easy to use and very stable. It is a rugged product, and it doesn't break so easily."
"They recently released the newest version that has a good program flow, quality, and blueprints that are all good improvements to the automation, and they also have good integration with SAP."
"The most valuable features of this solution are the Excel automation and support for SharePoint."
"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."
"We took a very complex business area, and every activity in it which can be done automatically is being replaced by the robot instead of people working on it."
"It has been helpful in reducing the manpower and error rate since we are able to run tasks 24/7 without interruptions. As humans definitely take breaks and there may be absenteeism that is unexpected, the solution provides continuous work. Humans tend to make errors once in a while, but the solution has almost zero percent errors."
"We have absolutely seen return on investment; we felt that we had to get to between 40 and 80 hours of weekly savings to get our ROI and we're already almost there, and that's good news overall."
"The full-service automation aspects and the process discovery are the most valuable features of Kryon RPA."
"The recording capability is valuable because of the amount of data it captures automatically. It's quite good. It means less development, and fewer configuration settings to fill in after you're done."
"The recording feature enables us to record what we're doing, like typing or clicking the mouse, and to identify objects on the screen. We basically teach the program how to type, instead of a person. That's the most powerful feature."
"For the processes that we have automated, the efficiency has increased by 100 percent."
"Kryon RPA is very stable - we've not had many disruptions, and the product is updated regularly."
 

Cons

"The tool must execute remedial actions to resolve problems before they cause significant incidents."
"Normally we need to monitor the solution using an AWS console and the control room. We would like to have a standardized dashboard to see all the information in one place."
"I would definitely be wanting to see OCR features for improving the solution."
"I would definitely be wanting to see OCR features for improving the solution."
"The image processing capabilities definitely need to be improved."
"The stability needs to be improved."
"The CL command poses an issue during the process of data conversion, accuracy, data loss and the assessment of certain data as false."
"Sometimes I feel like it doesn't work properly and we are not able to provide the dexterity needed."
"At first, we had problems with the object detection but in this latest release it has been better, and I think it keeps getting better."
"From our experience, the product is not suitable for end users."
"What needs improvement in Kryon RPA is the support. Sometimes, the solution has problems, so I contacted support, but I didn't receive immediate help from the team. You have to wait a while before the problem gets solved. This happens a few times in terms of getting cases solved. It would also be better if Kryon RPA had a cloud version because currently, from what I know, it only has an on-premise version, though I could be wrong about that. There isn't any additional feature I'd like added to Kryon RPA because it's a good service, but the support is very, very bad, so that area could be improved."
"It would be better to have [upgrades] done automatically, like an application on your smartphone. Or even if done manually, the upgrade should just be "next, next, next," and it's upgraded, rather than making it a project to upgrade."
"Kryon RPA need to enhance the robustness of our multi-board architecture to ensure the availability of bots on multiple machines."
"With the customer support, there have been some times where we have had to go through explaining the issue a couple times because it has gone through a couple of people's hands. There have been a couple of scenarios where we have had to re-explain the issue and bring somebody new up to speed on what is going on or what the problem is."
"I have seen some very minor occurrences where Kryon's interactions with Microsoft Office might cause the robot to hang. However, it is about one to two percent of the time where we are seeing this happen. It is such a small percentage that it's not even something that we are overly worried about. This would be where they might have some stability issues, but it could be the Microsoft Office API or how they are interacting together."
"When a project is very big, a lot of memory is taken up."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The solution prices are expensive. It would be more beneficial for customers to lower the pricing."
"I am very happy with the pricing."
"The starter price is free."
"Licenses are paid on a yearly basis and the cost is quite high."
"There is a license for this solution and it is on an annual basis. I am satisfied with the price."
"The pricing is fair."
"An unattended bot license costs around $5,000, whereas an attended bot license costs roughly $1,500."
"The product is slightly expensive"
"The product has reasonable pricing."
"We have a yearly license. It's about $5,000 per year."
"In addition to the standard licensing costs, there are manpower costs."
"Compared to its competitors, Kryon RPA's pricing is very competitive."
"We have been able to alleviate two FTEs, which was a big savings for us. We were able to reuse those resources in other locations. It is over 5000 hours a year in total savings."
"It is very cheap. I would rate the pricing a three out of ten, with ten being expensive."
"Can't beat the price... There are different pricing levels for every bot or unattended bot. You can buy however many you want. You'll need an additional virtual machine for it to work on."
"Licensing costs are about $100,000 a year without any additional costs."
