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.

Significantly reduces manual effort and improves team workflows through automated ticketing
We've used Agent Builder, IXP, and Maestro for orchestration. We have created context-grounded searches or chatbots using context grounding, and we also use context grounding within an Agentic flow where a bot or agent reads ServiceNow tickets to determine whether it has been assigned to the right work group. If it has not been assigned correctly due to human error, it automatically reassigns it to the right group. I would assess Agentic AI's ability to extract data points as effective. We created an agent for the purpose of extracting data, though not in a document. We created what we call an email conversation agent that engages with a customer, vendor, or someone in an email conversation with a set goal of extracting specific data points for an action to be performed subsequently. The one automation we have deployed in production involves the agent interacting with team members to collect data points and create a ServiceNow ticket. We appreciate almost all features of UiPath Platform, with one of the most successful ones being the use of Coms Mining. Most of the new features related to AI have all been good, and we use Agentic. We have already created a few agents and have started to use Maestro for a few flows, though we are not yet there to orchestrate an end-to-end workflow. We have good ROI from the automations we have developed with UiPath Platform, which far exceeds the investment in the platform. It has saved us tens of thousands of hours in manual effort, making the team members happy to pursue other things of value.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"What I like most about BotFarm is that it's one of the leading RPA products in the market. Very few products focus on robotics today, so I like that BotFarm offers a lot in terms of what general customers expect it to do."
"The most valuable feature is the rapid deployment of multiple bots."
"The most valuable feature is the interface, which helps to provide a good user experience."
"The ability to drag and drop various components and the customizability are good features."
"The dashboards are quite good, especially on the latest versions."
"The solution has been very user-friendly."
"The most important feature of BotFarm is web automation."
"The entire backend system structure is something that I found really valuable."
"The most valuable feature is the easily accessible tool, such as the ARI framework, which I have used extensively."
"The unintended robots are very useful. Just letting it run and having visibility, and controlling how everything works is definitely helpful."
"UiPath has helped reduce human error."
"The most valuable features are the UiPath studio tools with the recording feature to capture the navigation of the process on the screen."
"Attended and unattended automation, which support web and email automation, are the most valuable features for us."
"The scheduler tool is valuable because I can slow or speed up run times during peak use."
"I am a developer, and I love the tool's easiness with features like drag and drop. The tool is ready to use with some minor updates."
"The tool has improved our organization by reducing operational costs through process automation and cutting FTEs. We can do more regression testing for test automation, leading to better products. It's helped minimize our on-premises footprint to some extent and aided organizational restructuring."
 

Cons

"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%."
"The deployment could be simplified."
"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."
"The CL command poses an issue during the process of data conversion, accuracy, data loss and the assessment of certain data as false."
"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."
"I have called customer service three times and the experience has not been good. They do not offer 24/7 support, which forces us to wait till the next working day to solve a problem."
"Sometimes I feel like it doesn't work properly and we are not able to provide the dexterity needed."
"The cost of full deployment is high and there is room for improvement."
"I would suggest that UiPath be released for use on other platforms."
"The only bad experience I had was after the cloud migration, with these bots getting stuck. I'm yet to dig deep into it. I don't know what's happening."
"It would be very helpful for us if they provided more business use cases and helped us to learn them."
"While the UiPath Academy is simple and you get a decent understanding of what's there, you still have to dedicate on an awful lot of time doing the automations to become proficient at them."
"UiPath is currently lacking a Citrix environment, mostly on remote desktop applications."
"UiPath fails jobs sometimes and doesn't give you direct instructions on why it failed. A little more insight into failed jobs would be beneficial. It should have more documentation and short training modules."
"The certification can be made more affordable."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The pricing model could be simplified."
"Automation Anywhere is more reasonable than Blue Prism and UiPath in terms of cost."
"An unattended bot license costs around $5,000, whereas an attended bot license costs roughly $1,500."
"I am very happy with the pricing."
"The starter price is free."
"The licensing is on a monthly basis."
"I think payment can vary but it's a re-occurring fee that needs to be paid every year."
"Our licensing costs are approximately $3,000 USD annually."
"UiPath is expensive compared to other solutions like AutomationEdge, which is cheap. Last year, it wasn't too high, but I believe they updated their licensing model, making it very costly."
"The pricing is average; it is not too high nor too low."
"The cost for UiPath is affordable."
"I do not like the enormous jumps that they have had in the past. The ROI has become a lot harder because of the pricing changes. When you have time to plan for it, the ROI is there. If it was cheaper, it would make my life easier, but on the other hand, it is worth it."
"I rate UiPath a five out of ten for affordability. UiPath costs a bit more than other tools like Blue Prism and Automation Anywhere."
"UiPath is more expensive than other automation services, but the ROI justifies the cost."
"From a cost perspective, unattended robots are better."
"I began learning UiPath with the Community version, which is available free of charge."
