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.

Senior Software Engineer at a university with 201-500 employees

User interface streamlines task automation and improves efficiency

akaBot made a noticeable difference at Wika because it is lightweight and easy to use, and moreover, akaBot has a forum to answer many questions. The ease of use stands out because the design of akaBot is very friendly. The best features that akaBot offers in my experience include the UI automation in the browser or in the Windows application. What I appreciate most about the UI automation in browsers or Windows applications is the auto-generate selector in a browser and Windows application. This feature makes a difference because it reduced most of the time developing the bot.

Hemanth Pagadala

Senior Business Process Automation Engineer at a manufacturing company with 10,001+ employees

Automation has transformed document processing and frees teams to focus on higher‑value analysis

Sometimes, we encounter system errors that could be resolved via support, but connection issues are more frequent in enterprise applications. However, these can usually be solved by raising tickets if you are part of an enterprise, though we are not, which makes it somewhat challenging. It is vital to ensure the connections of UiPath Platform are maintained because it has a larger community. If UiPath Platform website included more features and documentation accessible easily, it would greatly enhance the experience. Instead of continually needing to raise support tickets, having a documentation hub where details can just be entered to retrieve required documents would be extremely beneficial.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"Automation Anywhere helped us to reduce the work time on data operations."

"Sometimes the customer will not provide any data. Using Automation Anywhere, we can easily automate to capture the customer data. Then, we can use that customer data inside the Cisco Unified Wire Voice Portal."

"I think most of the keystroke level activities that users used to do in probably the last five years is now taken care completely by Automation Anywhere and similar RPA providers."

"It an easy, simple, and user-friendly tool that can be accessed through the mobile application as well."

"During the digital transformation of a company, the number of internal portals and applications increases leading to an increased number of data silos."

"The overall usefulness of Automation Anywhere is the most valuable aspect of the solution."

"My company uses AA extensively for internal BPO work as well as we refer and deploy it to the customer as a RPaaS model, helping increase productivity, reduce overall operational costs, and deliver fewer errors while proving to be a reliable workhorse during the COVID situation."

"Technical support for this solution is the quickest and the best."

More Automation Anywhere pros

"akaBot made a noticeable difference at Wika because it is lightweight and easy to use, and moreover, akaBot has a forum to answer many questions."

"The cost is affordable, and it fits our requirements."

"The biggest value I get from the UiPath Academy is the ability to connect the software to the processes that we’re trying to automate and being able to understand the functions in terms of where you would go to get an even better understanding."

"It allows for rapid development in which we can see value back quickly."

"UiPath, as an end-to-end RPA solution, solves many issues and limitations of the previous setup."

"The ability to follow and orchestrate what the robots are doing has been very valuable. I've been working on the automation hub because that's the next step after our test case of five robotic implementations. So, it is orchestrated to see how they're doing."

"The ML/NLT models are good because they help with data recognition."

"We have found it to be quite valuable as we actively deploy and use bots, which have become a significant asset to our operations."

"Stability-wise, it's really good. When it comes to backend automation, it's amazing."

"UiPath has saved us several hours of repetitive work, as well as people who are more motivated to seek personal and professional improvements."

More UiPath Platform pros

Cons

"Triggers work in the attended mode on Automation Anywhere. I would love it if we could use triggers in the unattended mode too. This way we can use the feature more in our IT sector. E.g., when any service or folder is accessed by unauthorized person, we want to be able to get an immediate trigger, even on "out of office", this would be helpful for my organization."

"Another feature that would be cool to see in Automation Anywhere is more use of artificial intelligence."

"Technical support needs to be much faster. I also had the project delivery. I had six clients whom I looked after. Whenever we got stuck, it was all about sprinting. There was a two or three week sprint. Within that, if you just wait for two to three days, it doesn't make sense. The support needs to implode, because I was just talking to a customer now who came directly and asked us, "Can you give us a dedicated support team?" It's feedback from our customer that support takes too long."

"The feature, which might be interesting for companies that don't already have an identity management system, was a bit tricky because I would have preferred the system to directly rely on our corporate identity and access management system to manage the bot's credentials."

"I don't use the technical support a lot. It feels like a lot of time that they will ask us to check the user manual."

"Apart from the Chrome issue, which took them maybe a week to fix, we lost a lot of processes during that time, but it just happens unfortunately."

"I would like a better code migration solution, because this is something that we do a lot."

"I feel a lack of convenience when I try to scale it."

More Automation Anywhere cons

"I used UiPath before akaBot, and I think UiPath has more features than akaBot."

"If they can provide more intelligent automation, it would be beneficial."

"The main disadvantage that I have identified in the Document Understanding is in table extraction. If the table size is large and goes to the next page, we are unable to extract it with Document Understanding. I hear that there is a solution for that but I have to find it."

"The pricing, setup costs, and licensing for UiPath Platform are quite high, making it challenging for many organizations to afford."

"Exception handling and exception details can be much better and more user-friendly."

"Unique and ready-made license costs should be addressed."

"StudioX could use some improvement to broaden the range of automation projects suitable."

"I would rate the stability as a four (out of five), but some of it could have been us too. We have had issues with upgrades."

"While UiPath Studio helps speed up the cost of digital transformation, in a way, it requires expensive or complex application upgrades or IT support, as it needs an entire setup. That setup requires support from different departments, and that comes with a cost."

"While the solution speeds up the cost of digital transformation, doing so requires expensive or complex application upgrades or IT app support."

More UiPath Platform cons

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The price is a little bit high but the support is good."

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

"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. This is from only doing development for about a year and a half."

"Automation Anywhere is expensive."

"It's somewhat pricier than some of the other tools that we've used, and the breakout between the different applications is also somewhat costly. If they can make it a little more cost-effective or bundle packages a little bit more, that would be beneficial."

"The pricing model can be a bit more flexible."

"Including the AWS setup and everything per license, it costs us around $10,000 on an annual basis. I believe that is pretty reasonable considering the teams that we have."

"The enterprise version is expensive for small businesses and individual users."

Information not available

"This solution is not cheap but the price is worth it because by following the documentation and using the support, you get good robotic processes that are stable."

"The pricing is reasonable."

"It is the most user-friendly RPA platform, but it is also the most expensive RPA platform."

"The ROI on all of our RPA use cases is from a throughput perspective. Processing time improvement is anywhere between 70 percent faster to 300 to 400 percent faster. For the right processes, there is even up to 7X to 10X improvement from a throughput perspective, even though it works through the UI."

"Its price is on the higher side as compared to the other players in the market. They are tying up with a lot of other products such as Druid, but they are independently also very expensive. That's what the customers say when we start giving them options of UiPath."

"The price for UiPath is on the higher end."

"It used to come at a high cost, but now it's more budget-friendly."

"UiPath is on the higher side compared to Microsoft Power Automate and Automation Anywhere."
