Featured Reviews

Venkat Sivaprakash

Management Consultant at Accenture

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.

Chief Technology Officer at a tech services company with 1-10 employees

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.

Aditya Bhatt

Sr. Project Delivery Lead | Sr. Technical Lead at a manufacturing company with 5,001-10,000 employees

Rapid delivery has transformed complex enterprise apps and supports faster cross-domain projects

Every platform or low-code platform tool is quite good in its own area, but there is always space to groom or enhance or improve. The same is with OutSystems as well. A couple of things from the integration point of view can be enhanced. If your application or the enterprise organization is tackling a huge data application where you have bulk amounts of data, it becomes a challenge for all the technologies and the same with OutSystems. You have to design your architecture in a very magnificent and decent way so that how you process your data so that load can be easily balanced. Data handling and huge data handling is a kind of challenge you may need to face. Then we have some vendor lock-in. If you are trying to migrate your application from OutSystems, then you probably get into this vendor lock-in system. Some organization may face challenges if some organization is on a small scale size. The small scale businesses may find OutSystems costly because of its high cost and pricing due to the licensing cost. Apart from that, OutSystems really plays well, and it needs a learning curve. If a traditional application or programming is there which your developers are skilled into and they are directly deployed into OutSystems, it may take some significant amount of time for them to get comfortable with OutSystems. There is a learning curve. OutSystems community is already in place, but it can more be enhanced regarding some aspects. They did organize lots of bootcamps and other user groups as well, but those can also be improved from the documentation point of view and having some integration guidebook as well. A couple of things which can be improved into OutSystems include the licensing cost, the vendor lock-in side, the learning curve, couple of integration aspects and customizations.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The platform is easy to use, especially for business users."

"By implementing it, we were able to solve the issue of automation, which we had almost given up on."

"If we count the integrations that we have done with Appian, which is where a lot of our savings is from, we are well over a million dollars in savings."

"From an organizational perspective, it has improved how we work and determine, "Is there a better way to do things?" and, "How can we challenge the status quo?" This builds a continuous improvement mindset throughout our organization."

"We have found that the automation bots we have developed give great savings in terms of higher productivity and efficiency."

"The graphical user interface (GUI) is very useful, since I don't know any coding languages."

"Automation Anywhere's image reader is the most valuable feature."

"We are making less mistakes and have more metrics available to understand what our problems are. Now, we can do root cause analysis and have less noise in the system during the process."

More Automation Anywhere pros

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

"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."

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

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

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

"The initial setup of AgilePoint was very easy."

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

"Some systems have over 1,000 end users; it's very stable for heavy duty operation."

"It is easy to use."

"The drag-and-drop feature is very valuable."

"One of the valuable features of OutSystems is the very small lead time for the delivery of projects."

"OutSystems has no issues so far, the drag and drop environment is quite dynamic, and we can create our own UI on top of it."

"Once built, web/mobile components can be reused in all new developments. In addition, the OutSystems Forge is very useful. We can exchange components and even already-built applications, reducing costs to build specific solutions."

"It provides for faster development and better software releases."

"Their drag-and-drop functionality is amazing."

More OutSystems pros

Cons

"Migration is probably our biggest challenge. When we were trying to do the migration to the new version, it was a little bit painful. We didn't have that many bots, and I can't imagine the level of effort that some of the bigger customers have to put in for that. The product is stable, but moving from one release to the other was the issue."

"Investment effect is almost none, unfortunately."

"The original setup was easy. What was difficult was adding licenses. I went a month where I was paying for licenses that I couldn't use, for various reasons. That was painful."

"Automation Anywhere will sometimes announce releases or updates in their roadmap, and we wait for them, but they do not happen on time or at all."

"They have incorporated many latest technologies, such as AI, and there is always scope to improve the processes and have more stability."

"It is a bit wonky with HTML when I'm working with it. There are times when it's not able to detect the technology that we are using. I don't know whether it's an Automation Anywhere issue or an internal issue. I want it to work smoothly with more technologies."

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

"I believe there is room for improvement in Automation Anywhere, particularly in their training programs, which need more development."

More Automation Anywhere cons

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

"They should add more information about functionality."

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

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

"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."

"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."

"There are many tutorials available but they are very basic and good for learning the platform. To develop an enterprise-grade application, advanced tutorials need to be developed to help IT professionals design/develop high-quality/performance applications."

"The latest version of the app generation tools could be more user-friendly."

"The tool needs to improve the efficiency of its widgets."

"In the future with OutSystems, improvements could be made on the costing side rather than the feature side."

"Its ability to create and run automated tasks could be better."

"There are not enough resources on the market."

"The installation is a bit tedious."

"When shared extensions are updated, all the applications are redeployed."

More OutSystems cons

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Subscription for Automation Anywhere (AA) is paid yearly."

"We would like to use Citrix going forward. We use Bot Runners to scale up, and it gets to be expensive. Using Citrix, it can mitigate costs."

"Our advice is that anybody interested in this product should negotiate product bundles in order to reduce the cost of installation and setup."

"We have saved time and money using this solution."

"The solution is quite expensive. Not every organization can consider this option."

"Automation Anywhere University is pretty good. They make it available free for everyone."

"We save 34,000 hours of time per year and have recouped up to $6000 in lost revenue."

More Automation Anywhere pricing and cost advice

"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."

"I think the price is reasonable."

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

"The solution is expensive."

"The price is okay. OutSystems isn't expensive. It's a mid-range solution."

"I would rate it five to six out of ten."

"The tool’s licensing is based on the user’s usage."

"Pricing could be a concern. You have to pay yearly, even after you have completed your development."

"It is very high price."

"It is not an expensive product, especially if you have access to more features and deal with more projects."

"OutSystems is an expensive product. My company has to make monthly payments towards the licensing costs attached to the solution."
