Venkat Sivaprakash - PeerSpot reviewer
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.

Manager Of Global Procurement at a tech vendor with 10,001+ employees
Centralized contract repository has improved visibility and supports detailed spend analysis
Agiloft Contract Lifecycle Management (CLM) could be improved in the area of catering more from a CLM perspective. Unlike vendors in this area like Ariba, Coupa, Icertis, and Ivalua, which also provide the sourcing side—RFX, RFP, RFI, auction—through the tool, that area within Agiloft Contract Lifecycle Management (CLM) is lacking. I would be happy to see those modules well-placed and well-balanced based on how other competitors are catering to that requirement. I would also like to see various enhancements within the dashboard and customization based on client and customer requirements. That is something that I would like to see more within the dashboard and the tool. If I had to pick one area where Agiloft Contract Lifecycle Management (CLM) could be improved, it would be better slice-and-dice options within the dashboard. That is something that is very important and critical for me. I chose 8 out of 10 because there are certain areas where Agiloft Contract Lifecycle Management (CLM) would need to look at what their competitors are doing. CLM is a very hot area for procurement because it is used by direct and indirect procurement folks. Based on those requirements, use cases, and especially based on what clients need and how their competitors are performing, I think there is room for improvement on the enhancement side, improving the overall customer experience on the dashboard, having more layouts, and having the option to slice and dice the spend and the orders. It would also be good to have different charts and infographics based on the contracts that have been uploaded, which provides a picture to the procurement person. For example, when they are doing a renewal or want to work with the same vendor, it provides some sort of ammunition to make an informed decision and ensure that the data coming out of the tool represents factual insights. This will help drive savings, better outcomes with the supplier, and better stakeholder engagement. It is all linked to how the tool can be more efficient and effective.
Sakshi Thakur - PeerSpot reviewer
Senior Manager at a legal firm with 1,001-5,000 employees
Automation has transformed complex contract lifecycles and now supports high-volume workflows
The only drawback of Conga Contract Lifecycle Management (CLM) is that it does not work for small-scale business areas because I have implemented it for one customer with four or five pages of templates and three to four record types. For that small business, Conga Contract Lifecycle Management (CLM) does not work well because it is a bit complicated. Sometimes all customers need is a click of a button to go in and do things, and Conga Contract Lifecycle Management (CLM) is a bit complicated for such kinds of businesses. There are definitely areas where Conga Contract Lifecycle Management (CLM) could be easier to use for smaller businesses, particularly making processes more streamlined and user-friendly.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"For people looking for my recommendation for an automation product, I definitely would recommend Automation Anywhere instead of going for a more orthodox or older technology."
"Automation Anywhere helped our organization to get our training and implementation needs successful by providing both community edition and partner edition. Automation Anywhere seamlessly handed off exceptions to employees from Automation Anywhere bots."
"SAP GUI Integration commands are highly useful while working with SAP applications and facilitate easy use of the software. This feature has been recently incorporated within the software and we have been using it to interface with SAP systems in development as well as production."
"What I appreciate most about Automation Anywhere is the high degree of interoperability, and they have both on-premises and cloud versions, which allows us to ensure that we are properly following the protocols and ensuring seamless integration with our native systems."
"One thing I really like is the the recorder where you can connect with multiple systems. The OCR is also good."
"On the server-side, multiple developers working on a single project can save their individual works and have them stored in a single repository."
"We've saved a lot of time. How much time we save depends on the process. It's likely at least 50%. Sometimes, it's up to 70%."
"The deployment of Automation Anywhere went smoothly. They were very supportive with the migration of all of our existing automations and also being there and supportive with the development of the new automations."
"When we launched Agiloft Contract Lifecycle Managment (CLM), it was a much-needed contract management system in my past role, solving a big problem for us in terms of contract intake, negotiation, management, as well as providing a centralized repository that we used as our source of truth for audit purposes, which had a huge impact on us in being compliant."
"Agiloft Contract Lifecycle Management (CLM) makes it easier to share links within our teams by providing a centralized contract repository, which I need in the global procurement area where I work on various contracts: mid-size contracts, lower-hanging fruit contracts, and the big-ticket contracts."
"It is obvious to me that Agiloft can handle much more than contract management, as the specific requirements that were not part of Agiloft's initial configuration were implemented seamlessly."
"Agiloft Contract Lifecycle Managment (CLM) has positively impacted my client organizations by massively reducing contract authoring, with some contracts that used to take three months to execute now being reduced from months down to hours, which has improved client satisfaction, increased deal velocity, and allowed their legal teams to focus on other tasks outside of contracting, thereby freeing up time for the legal departments."
"Overall, I think Agiloft Contract Lifecycle Managment (CLM) is a strong contract management platform, particularly for organizations with great volume, many customers, and numerous suppliers."
"With Agiloft, everything is organized in one place, with data in tables and our own archival elsewhere in our cloud."
"We have been working with Agiloft Contract Management Suite for the past 6 months and have found it an extremely useful and user friendly solution to our contract management challenge."
"Project HOME has easily recovered its initial capital outlay in the first year from simple centralization and automated approval tracking."
"Conga Contract Lifecycle Management (CLM) has positively impacted my organization by making the contract lifecycle easier for customers when quotes get created."
"The main benefits I have seen from using Conga Contract Lifecycle Management (CLM) are that we use it as a discount platform in a huge project for different customers or accounts across the world."
"Conga Contract Lifecycle Management (CLM) has positively impacted my organization by automating contract generation."
"The valuable aspects are ease and speed."
"Because of these processes, the customer can send out thousands of contracts in one go instead of creating them and having a lot of people appointed to do this job, and it is a one-person job now."
"The clarity and smooth process provided by Conga Contract Lifecycle Management (CLM) have greatly impacted my team and business."
"After they shifted from manual work to automation, their sales, business, and revenue have all increased."
"Conga Contract Lifecycle Management (CLM) has delivered measurable improvements in both time and cost savings for our organization, significantly reducing manual processing time, shortening contract turnaround times from days to hours, minimizing compliance risk, and improving overall operational efficiency and resource utilization."
 

Cons

"Sometimes, in Automation Anywhere, the recording process takes longer when capturing tasks on websites or applications, and there can be internal errors."
"Not all data is good quality. This presents a challenge for automation, which is important."
"An option should be provided to disable the flow and dual-mode since those are not used often by the developers, and hence take up extra space on the screen."
"The REST API could be improved."
"For improvement, I would like to see Automation Anywhere integrating with multiple other technologies."
"We did face some issues last year when there was an upgrade in Automation Anywhere control room, and at that time our web application automations were failing."
"I have had a couple of crashes and issues."
"Better support for Excel is needed because there are a lot of limitations and we are having issues with it."
"One area of improvement I would suggest Agiloft to focus on would be how users interact with attachments to records."
"One possible area of improvement would be reporting."
"If I could improve one aspect, I would make the workflows and reports more customizable for specific project needs."
"Agiloft Contract Lifecycle Management (CLM) could be improved in the area of catering more from a CLM perspective."
"Every software can improve, so better integration with the Oracle financial system and out-of-the-box integrations would certainly add a lot more value, particularly for procurement and sales contracts."
"Agiloft Contract Lifecycle Managment (CLM) could be improved in several ways. The training is not good, and they do not offer very good training at all."
"I feel there are always opportunities to improve Agiloft Contract Lifecycle Managment (CLM)."
"Agiloft Contract Lifecycle Managment (CLM) is very difficult to set rules and to follow based on contract type, as the mapping and the level of tech and coding that is needed for that requires developer skills."
"The only issue was in X-Author 2.0 where there was a bug; whenever the agreement document was opened and we were already logged in to X-Author 2.0, it was automatically checking out that particular agreement document."
"Conga Contract Lifecycle Management (CLM) can sometimes feel slow, so I think additional strong real-time collaboration tools during negotiation and smoother integration with non-sales systems would also be helpful."
"The improvement I would consider is that the UI should be improved, including the colors."
"For improvements in Conga Contract Lifecycle Management (CLM), I think that for sending contract approvals, the customer signing process needs to be implemented after verifying the necessary details, which I expect to see in the future."
"They are somewhat reliable, but they are not completely reliable."
"Conga Contract Lifecycle Management (CLM) can be improved by closing the workflow automation and also leveraging AI."
"Secondly, users have reported that X-Author is not functioning consistently, so if we could have an easier feature for accepting or rejecting changes, that would be beneficial from a user perspective."
"Conga Contract Lifecycle Management (CLM) can be improved in terms of UI and functionality, as it needs to be more clean and polished."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"If you look at the capital expenditure, Automation Anywhere is number two to UiPath. But if you take a long-term view, on a scalable model of a large number of bots coming out, it slowly goes on to become the costliest tool. There is something they can do about that. The capital expenditure goes out right at the point of buying the tool. For Automation Anywhere, I would need to spend $20,000. UiPath can give me something for $6,000, while Blue Prism will come in at $300,000."
"Automation Anywhere has an advantage in terms of licensing. It is more cost-efficient compared to all other RPA platforms. It is a recommended solution when clients need a cost-efficient automation tool to perform unattended automation."
"Costs savings have been seen by employing bots for multiple shifts instead of people."
"I think the solution's pricing is reasonable."
"The solution's pricing is pretty decent."
"The Community Edition is a good offering from the company."
"We are a partner of Automation Anywhere and find the pricing to be reasonable."
"Automation Anywhere is expensive, making it more suitable for enterprise organizations."
