Has significantly improved document-driven workflows and reduced processing time across finance and HR functions

Automation Anywhere has evolved significantly and upgraded itself to provide agentic AI and AI-based automation solutions for document automation. The product has matured considerably over time. We can create workflows that can call an API. We can include prompts in particular workflows for ChatGPT-related functions, connecting to an LLM and RAG to perform tasks. For document automation, modern features are available to train documents, ensuring high accuracy and repeatability over time. The system is very easy to use. I recently completed a course in document automation, typically designed for people involved in coding and technical aspects. Though I understand coding comprehensively, I don't do actual coding. The course was very accessible. Currently, extensive coding isn't necessary due to the hybrid model incorporating GenAI aspects, low-code, no-code capabilities, APIs, and numerous pre-built objects in Automation Anywhere. The features include GenAI-driven prompting methods and workflow creation capabilities. In these workflows, we can create decision boxes and call APIs without coding. We simply pull objects, drop them, connect them, and add minimal coding when needed. The most crucial aspect isn't coding but rather sizing the automation and fleshing out the details. Automation Co-pilot takes notes and performs automated analysis. It can extract details from videos, summarize conversations, and provide detailed information. During calls, it identifies instructions and performs tasks such as preparing reports and reconciliation. Automation Anywhere can also connect with Microsoft Co-pilot. Through Co-pilot, real-time operations can be executed, allowing direct interaction between vendors and automation through this component.

Business processes are automated efficiently with a well-designed interface

There is room for improvement in integrations and customizations for AgilePoint and other low-code, no-code solutions. Additionally, the marketing of such products should be more honest. They often claim to solve all process automation needs, but they only handle problems of certain complexity. AgilePoint cannot handle highly complex processes like ERPs.

Automated remittance workflows have boosted speed and accuracy but still need geo-tagging improvements

Remittance is a crucial part of my integral operation, so any disruption would majorly impact our clients. After switching to Appian, we never faced any disruption as it is reliable and we can generate data at any point in time, quite faster than other tools in my personal opinion. Regulators can ask for data from us at any time, and with Appian, we download data from our Appian tools to share it with them whenever they ask. I would share a real-life example: a customer's transaction processed more than a year ago. Suddenly the customer came back asking for all the details. In our previous tool, it was quite difficult to generate transaction details from over a year ago; however, while using Appian, we can pull up data using different key search fields, such as a customer's cell phone number, remittance tracking number, or MT103 reference number. We shared it with the customer instantly, and the customer was surprised we could provide all the details in such a short time. It added reputational value for our organization, thanks to Appian.You have pointed out two major things: time-saving and reduction of error, which are key points while processing remittance. Previously, while using another tool, it was quite time-consuming to process remittance, but after switching to Appian, it can extract data from MT103, eliminating the need for manual data entry. The process has become fully automated. Previously we could process only five to ten transactions within an hour, but now, after switching to Appian, we can process about 100 transactions in an hour, making it 10 times faster. In terms of error detection, since Appian extracts data from MT103, the extraction rate is quite good, and the error rate is negligible, lower than 0.001%. We can share accurate, error-free data with the regulator, which is essential for us. Appian benefits us significantly. After receiving an MT103, we check what the remitter is, the amount, if it is under threshold for processing, and if it is from a high-priority remitter or client. Since Appian extracts data from MT103 messages and identifies top-level clients from the database, it can notify us to process their transactions with priority. Due to automated data extraction, there are fewer instances of error. In our previous tool, we reported regulatory data to the central bank manually and often received complaints about invalid purpose codes due to manual data entry. Appian handles this automatically, and after switching, our error rate has dropped significantly, resulting in positive feedback from the Central Bank of Bangladesh regarding our reduced error rates. This has greatly enhanced our organization's reputation. Appian is fully on-premises, and we have our own system.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"It is easy and simple to use with its drag and drop functionality."

"We saved approximately 10,000 hours of work for ourselves, and there are a couple of projects that we have worked on where we could have saved approximately 4000 hours on just one project that we built in two to three weeks."

"We have had a massive return on full-time employee resources that we have saved by just using Automation Anywhere."

"One thing I really like is the the recorder where you can connect with multiple systems. The OCR is also good."

"Using this solution has freed internal operations employees to do more "human value-add" work by removing mundane manual tasks."

"Our workforce has limited capacity, and by adding this solution we can increase the amount of work coming in without adding to our workforce."

"Looking at overall feasibility from features to costing perspective, I strongly feel Automation Anywhere offers a lot of features and scalability and is a very good tool overall and people who have not tried should give a try and put some hands-on."

"I consider the verification station very useful because it allows you to quickly check if the data extracted are correct or if you need to change the process."

More Automation Anywhere pros

"The initial setup of AgilePoint was very easy."

"AgilePoint's most valuable feature is process management."

"AgilePoint's automation is excellent in managing different user roles and handling data associated with a particular instance of the workflow."

"AgilePoint has improved our organization by making form implementation easier and to plan for future growth."

"Anytime companies need any solution with workflow, they can base it on AgilePoint, because AgilePoint allows companies to design and implement workflows very fast using the system's interface."

"The solution's workflows are its most useful feature."

"I like the design and the integration capacity, and it's also easy to use."

"When it comes to speed of development, system integrations, BMPS workflows, and digitization of manual processes, Appian is possibly the best choice there is."

"As long as they know what they want or what they need to digitize, Appian would be there to support the transformation that their corporation or their company would be needing in the future."

"It has created executable requirements and speeds up the SDLC process greatly."

"The solution's most valuable features are the regular periodic and quarterly updates, they are very useful updates. They keep improving the solution more often, and that helps the platform or code always be up to date with the latest features."

"We used this solution for the digitalization of all our legal processes, as it has very flexible adaptation and the ability to save and automate processes."

"Good workflow engines that bridge the gaps of processes."

"Previously we could process only five to ten transactions within an hour, but now, after switching to Appian, we can process about 100 transactions in an hour, making it 10 times faster."

"Write to Data Store Entity - Saving data in SQL databases is done easily using entities. Entities (CDTs in Appian terminology) define relationships and target schema tables via XSD files."

More Appian pros

Cons

"When dealing with a large number of variables, uploading them directly from an Excel sheet to Automation Anywhere is not supported."

"The only reason I wouldn't rate it higher is because a COE Manager still not getting the full benefit from it and because the premium is a little bit expensive."

"Understanding what we wanted to do the tool after setup, that was complex."

"They are working on scalability, but I'm expecting them maybe a faster pace for the thing already in place. They need to improve the extraction and accuracy. It's a sort of a journey that we started with a few fears that may end up with a 100 or 200 fears. These are our expectations from IQ Bot. We are quite hopeful that a future release will solve this problem."

"Their bot runners could be made to handle multiple payloads at the same time because if I want to run multiple parallel operations, the number of bot runners that I have to buy just keeps increasing. It is adding to the cost. However, there is a possibility that we don't need that many bot runners, and we can run multiple operations in a bot runner. This would be a great addition to have."

"However, maybe because this is a new version with a change in platform, it still has some bugs."

"The analytical dashboard in the Control Room could use some improvement."

"The areas that need improvement are the license management, user access permission, user role access management, and technical support."

More Automation Anywhere cons

"They should add more information about functionality."

"Integrations and customizations should be improved in AgilePoint and other low-code solutions."

"While the platform is good and it has a lot of options, I would like to see more alternative features in future versions such as connectors to IDM. Currently, they have only ADFS and Okta."

"Some issues with AgilePoint's design, AI and UX are some of the major problems we deal with when handling our company's business models or processes."

"It could be more flexible, but it's already a good solution for the designer."

"The solution should be able to support Docker. This would help make scalability easier."

"Technical support is very slow to respond and they need to be quicker in getting back to clients when problems arise."

"The reporting is not as good as in similar products. They could also improve the dashboards."

"Newer features, especially in terms of scalability, have to become more scalable than what it is today, and it needs better integration with our existing application ecosystem."

"I think Appian could improve by adding its own native GenAI and agentic capabilities."

"On a scale of 1 to 10, I would rate Appian a 7.5."

"Initially, it works fine, but going forward, you are hitting performance issues whenever you create the views to get the data from the database."

"The solution could improve by being more responsive when dealing with large quantities of data. Additionally, they can make the decision or rules engine better. It cannot handle too many rules or too many decisions at once."

"It would be useful if they could create an academy or forum in the future to help active users answer questions they have about the solution."

"I would like to see more complete university tools. For example, with UiPath, I have had a good experience related to a free course in order to provide some users some different levels of knowledge. This extra training helps users not only use the solution but to develop further within the tool."

More Appian cons

Pricing and Cost Advice

"We are currently negotiating a contract. Depending upon that, we will definitely look at increasing usage."

"Automation Anywhere might have a higher upfront cost than some competitors, but its extensive features and seamless integration with other tools can save organizations money in the long run."

"This is a value for the money product."

"There is a free trial so that they can get an overview, and there are different licenses that are very affordable and can suit every business model."

"The price for Automation Anywhere is reasonable."

"Automation Anywhere offers a subscription-based licensing model for cloud, on-premises, and hybrid deployments."

"They recently launched a Community Edition, which is okay, but they should have done this a long time ago."

"With the rebate processing automation that we did, it has provided us a savings of around an hour or two a person on a daily basis, which is quite a lot of savings."

More Automation Anywhere pricing and cost advice

"Price-wise, AgilePoint is a cheap tool and a standard application for running analytics in an IT environment."

"I think the price is reasonable."

"It is more cost-effective than local tools."

"I believe the pricing has changed recently. We had purchased one license per server, and it was about $2,000. It was a one-time payment. It's possible that they have recently implemented a new cost structure and now have yearly subscriptions."

"The price is high."

"If you're doing an enterprise-wide digital transformation, Appian is worthwhile, but not for just one or two use cases because the license costs are higher."

"We will have to have a dialogue or negotiate a price for future use. To start with, it is a reasonable price. As we go ahead, we will have to make sure the costs are inline with our expectations as we grow our user base and workloads."

"The price of this solution is a little high here in Mongolia."

"It's good value for the price."

"The licensing will be on a monthly basis. We are estimating that cost to be around $2000 to maybe $3,000 per month. We don't foresee any costs above that."

"Product pricing compared to some of the earlier vendors, like IBM, CA, and Oracle, is quite well-priced. Although, we do feel that as we increase the number of users and the workload increases, we will have to spend more."

"The cost is calculated on a per-user basis. It might be expensive for small and mid-sized enterprises."
