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

"BotFarm is an easy solution to use and the interface is better than older versions."
"The most valuable features I have found to be the screen scraping and the integration with third-party solutions."
"The system is stable and very little maintenance is required, assuming the bots process is perfectly designed."
"The most valuable feature is the interface, which helps to provide a good user experience."
"We use this solution for automating the gathering of information from 15 disparate applications, with several bots in customer service and finance to increase efficiency and reduce manual work in different areas."
"We have automized the day-to-day work of their order management system."
"The solution has been very user-friendly."
"One of the most valuable features is the solution's simple automation regarding object cloning and strings variables."
"For small to medium clients, those clients have an investment of about $100,000, we see around six to eight months in, they get something around 40% to 60% ROI being returned to them, then within a year to 18 months, they get a 100% to 120% ROI realized."
"The stock rotation process itself would usually take a month in a particular region, but that has been reduced to less than 15 days."
"UiPath Platform scales really from a technical standpoint."
"UiPath is user-friendly."
"The biggest benefit that we have from UiPath comes from using the API."
"The ability to use APIs within UiPath is really helpful. The web scraping is really great. It's so easy to use, it's very intuitive, and it's usually pretty consistent. When web pages change you need to update it, but it makes it quick. If you need to do another quick process, it's really easy to get it quickly and set something up. I can just scrape data from a website and save it somewhere."
"So far, the conversation around automation and cultural change has been really powerful in terms of re-thinking our processes and asking if there's a better way to do it."
"The most valuable features of Studio are all of the activities that UiPath and their partners have developed."
 

Cons

"The machine learning needs to be improved so that they perform better in terms of predictive analysis and sentiment analysis."
"The pricing of this product could be better."
"Although I like the OCR technology, it could still be further improved."
"An area for improvement in BotFarm is that the communication between the Control Room and the Bot Client Missions isn't utilized well."
"The community forums can be improved a little bit because they have mixed solutions or discussions with respect to some ideas."
"It is too expensive and not worth the price."
"From the holistic standpoint of the product offering, there are a lot of things that need to be done."
"It should be easier to create an environment for bots to operate in. There should be more support for developing in environments such as Citrix and Linux."
"With respect to stability, the general system is stable. This includes the robots, Automation Cloud, and the Action Center. However, we have had a lot of downtime with UiPath Apps."
"One of the things we're struggling with it how to project how many robots we need to do these processes, so better documentation or assistance in this regard would be useful."
"In UiPath they should improve the input and outputs of processes. I found it very complicated."
"The speed could be improved."
"The pricing for Orchestrator and unattended robots could use improvement. If we plan to roll out and implement more robots, then perhaps lower costs on Orchestrator and unattended robots would make adoption even easier."
"We are not able to extract the data from the same type of PDF which is bulky in number, and scrapping is not so good."
"Sometimes when working with operation leads, it’s hard to get them to focus on the concept, and also believe in the concept."
"I have fewer issues with the user interface when I'm using Blue Prism or Automation Anywhere. For example, if you want to perform an action in UiPath, it's a little tricky because you must click on a particular icon. When you click on that, some selectors are generated. That will change whenever the application updates, so you must change the selector again after the update. When we are dealing with Automation Anywhere, we'll not get any selectors if we are using that action once."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"We are on an annual license for the solution and is priced well."
"The pricing model could be simplified."
"Licenses are paid on a yearly basis and the cost is quite high."
"I think payment can vary but it's a re-occurring fee that needs to be paid every year."
"The licensing is on a monthly basis."
"We pay approximately $15,000 USD per year."
"The starter price is free."
"I am very happy with the pricing."
"We looked at Blue Prism and two other vendors. Based on our comparison, UiPath was the better solution with better licensing."
"Our licensing fees for this solution are €68,000 (approximately $75,000 USD) yearly."
"I hope in the future the costing will be trimmed down, especially on Studio."
"We got purchased the basic minimum package and it was around $35,000 USD, annually."
"The pricing is good. They offer a Community edition that we currently use, which is free. Their paid pricing is pretty affordable for businesses as well."
"The Community Edition is free for everyone and you get all the features, but there is a limitation on the number of bots. The Enterprise Edition is a bit costly for the advanced features."
"The initial investment cost is expensive, but I promise you guys this will be very helpful as we can easily automate applications and our productivity has increased."
"I would rate the pricing of UiPath eight out of ten with ten being the most expensive."
