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.

Centralized sprint tracking has improved collaboration and now simplifies cross-team planning
Airtable offers multiple different features, particularly in the planning sector and calendar options, wherein workspaces can be created and shared with colleagues working together. Airtable provides numerous features such as managing groups, enabling notification preferences, and allowing communication with colleagues wherever they are working, such as if one person is in China and another is in India, with the option to notify changes and customize language preferences. The appearance can be changed and Airtable can be integrated with multiple other tools such as calendars in Microsoft Teams for notifications. You can start with templates or use AI to build custom apps, tailoring workflows. Workspaces are the primary focus because this is where all people have access shared between various different teams, allowing one particular person focusing on one area to make modifications or enhancements that are viewable. Airtable has had a positive impact, where previously reliance was placed on a calendar schedule for stand-up calls, spending lots of hours to understand who worked on which task. After Airtable came into the picture, so much time has been reduced, primarily focusing on productivity and engaging in development. Airtable provides managers with an overview of operations performed, how long tasks take, and the expected completion dates.

Centralized task tracking has transformed team collaboration and has saved significant time
The features or capabilities of AppSheet that I have found the most valuable include Freeze Panes, which is one of the most valuable features, and Dropdown, which is another valuable feature. Freeze Panes is extremely important because it freezes the first top row of the sheet. When I'm scrolling the sheet and going down, I can see the first row on the screen full time while scrolling to my data. This is a very beautiful feature of Google Sheets. Additionally, the dropdown feature allows me to write yes, no, and not applicable against a particular line item without typing every time by creating a dropdown. I write it once with yes, no, not applicable, and then I select that option. The real-time updates in AppSheet improve collaboration in my team because 40 people in the same department operate on a single Google Sheet. They all update their tasks, their projects, and everything on that same sheet, which is a massive leap in technology. Otherwise, I would be mailing a single Excel sheet to 40 people and getting everybody's input from them all manually, which would be extremely time-consuming. It's a massive technology jump when it comes to collaboration.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"With the cash flow generated just on the one bot we had operating, it's paid for itself in the first month."
"Automation is going to become a new area we will certainly encourage a lot of people to pursue because of the lasting dividends it provides, including saving time and manpower."
"There has been a great return on investment."
"We are using it for scripting, and it is end user based with screen captures. It is a bit easier to use than any of the other tools out there."
"If you are looking for a fast solution using minimal resources not requiring an advanced programming skill set this is your product."
"On a scale of one to ten, I rate Automation Anywhere a ten."
"We've delivered tremendous value in a really short amount of time and gotten a lot of support from our organization."
"Time-wise: We have saved hundreds of thousands of hours."
"The product helps us track activities, address complaints, and make improvements."
"Airtable stands out for its exceptional user-friendliness, making it accessible to users of all skill levels. Its intuitive navigation ensures a smooth experience, allowing users to easily explore and comprehend its functionalities. Moreover, Airtable offers powerful automation capabilities that enhance efficiency. One particularly advantageous aspect is the seamless linking of databases, enabling the effortless creation of relational databases. Overall, this feature has proven to be immensely valuable and has been the primary focus of my usage."
"The sorting of the data is the best feature of Airtable. In a Google sheet I have to insert some data and Airtable provides the default option of doing it automatically."
"It is easy to design workflows with, and we don't have to spend tons of money on somebody to write codes."
"The scripting extension enhances the things that you can do with Airtable."
"With Airtable, we saw clear improvements in efficiency, especially in time and coordination."
"Airtable's customizable views are beneficial for managing my projects, as it offers broad features that even allow someone who understands it thoroughly to operate without needing external tools."
"I am impressed with the tool's continuous improvement. Every six months we get to see a completely different product. You can build a new product using no-code applications. We are able to scale up with the product."
"The security of the solution is very good."
"A feature I found most valuable in AppSheet is its intuitive UI/UX design, as that makes the platform very easy for customers to use. The solution also has a drag and drop feature that's quite good. I also found AppSheet integration with the cloud platform to be quite good."
"The solution allows for many great features, including easy column formatting that automatically applies the correct formats for phone numbers and dates, helpful data linking, robust email integration, very good security, and it is a very good no-code development platform."
"I have found the way they structure the workflow and the fact that it a progressive application is valuable for me. This allows me to be able to build it once and use it in multiple formats."
"With Google, even if you find a bug or something, it is solved quickly."
"We have built a workflow using this solution to do our day-to-day operations and then monitor our agents in the field, and we are able to track their work when they do projects and when they finish their tasks, getting a report on all of this information which has definitely made life easier."
"AppSheet is easy to set up and easy to use."
"I chose this solution because it was cheaper than other competitors, more flexible and safe."
 

Cons

"The older versions, like version 8 and 9, were not very stable."
"You could improve the tools for reading CSV/Excel, also providing wizards or detailed guides, otherwise, it is quite complex to use them, especially at the beginning."
"It would be really good if they could give more priority to tickets which are raised by partners. Right now, Automation Anywhere customers and employees have higher priority."
"I would suggest going with Microsoft Power Automate rather than Automation Anywhere because Power Automate's cloud flow is easier to use."
"Automation Anywhere needs to have more testing tools to improve the testing portion of the solution."
"I would like the support to be faster. Their response time is one to two days. Their customer care could be faster."
"My main issue with Automation Anywhere might be the logging of bots and getting more detailed feedback of what my bot is doing, step by step. It is hard to track fine-tuning in larger codes."
"We had initial hiccups, like any new process. It took us six to eight months to sort the product out."
"It'd be nice if the record limit of 50,000 record limit per base on pro accounts were substantially higher."
"They should allow us to duplicate the data to share it with others."
"The tool has changed the syncing time between the tables which has affected our multiple systems. I would like the product to add more calls per second to the API. It also needs to improve data storage. The tool starts to have problems after having huge amounts of data."
"The cost structure of Airtable presents a challenge. When you invite a user, you have to pay for that user."
"Airtable needs improvement with the loading speed. It takes a lot of time to load."
"However, for a smaller organization, Airtable would not be recommended because it is commercial and a bit expensive for a smaller organization that cannot bear it."
"Some of the issues associated with the tool were related to some misunderstanding regarding the instructions mentioned in the documentation part of the product."
"The product should improve the Spanish translation."
"The solution needs to improve its SQL database capabilities."
"If I need more than that figure, then I'm not sure how scalable AppSheet is."
"What I think could be improved or enhanced in AppSheet includes the timeline feature, as that is something which is a real pain point and not very efficient in Google Sheets."
"No improvements are required as AppSheet is quite efficient."
"AppSheet should continue to make the tool's features easy to use, such as the ability to add additional notes or notifications."
"They could improve by providing more language support other than English especially the languages that written from right to left such as Arabic , integrate better with other databases, and provide a better UX."
"There needs to be an improvement in their operation vision. They need to see things more globally because at the moment they are very North-America focused. We do not always have mobile applications and the way we use them is slightly different in Africa from the way they use them in America."
"Stability is the leading risk. We can't ensure that the solution will last since, if Google decides something, it's finished."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"I believe it is $10,000 for Bot Creator."
"The setup cost depends on multiple factors, so you need to get details before choosing."
"Yearly, our licensing costs are about $90,000 to $100,000. There will be additional licensing costs when we add more Bot Runners to our infrastructure."
"The licensing cost for Automation Anywhere is high."
"Automation Anywhere offers a subscription-based licensing model for cloud, on-premises, and hybrid deployments."
"IQ Bots are very costly. It's not a sustainable bot for us as of now. We will look for better, alternate options for that."
"Price is where I'm least satisfied. Other vendors are more willing to offer discounts."
"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."
"Airtable's pricing depends on the plan that you're on."
"The product would be expensive for customers with only one application or database."
"The product's price is good."
"We are utilizing the free version of the software, which adequately meets most of our requirements. As we explore the higher-end versions, we have noticed that the primary distinctions lie in the number of records and usage limitations. However, the free version offers comprehensive functionality, and the disparity between the free and paid versions is minimal, with only a few minor differences."
"The solution is not expensive."
"For basic usage, Airtable is an open-source tool but if you need premium features like script automation, then you need to pay for it. As my clients provide me access after buying the subscription I do not have much knowledge about pricing."
"The tool's pricing is based on the number of users. The product's pricing is okay for personal use. For large organizations, pricing can be a pain. As per the first-rate plan, you need to pay 10 USD per user. The next plan would cost you 20 USD per user. If you are looking for enterprise-type plans, then you need to contact the sales team."
"The product is a little bit expensive."
"In terms of how much AppSheet costs, I'm currently on the free tier, but if I need to add more users to it in the future, I will go with the paid version."
"There is a license required to use this solution and it costs approximately $10 per user a month. I am paying $300 a month for 30 licenses."
"I chose this solution because it was cheaper than other competitors."
"The tool is available at a low price."
