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.

Framework has streamlined multi-agent monitoring and now delivers clear, actionable log insights
I appreciate the AutoGen Studio team builder, which is good, but it could be even better. I do not understand the versioning from Microsoft; the version is 0.4, which has been available since February 2025. There are already multiple platforms on the internet for creating AI agent systems, and I think AutoGen is not as mature as it could be. The challenges that other customers might encounter while setting up this solution include understanding how the framework works. The documentation is somewhat available, but it is not perfect, and there are not many running examples because it is new. There is no community yet, so you might be dealing with issues specific to how to use the framework properly to achieve the desired outcomes.

Automation has reduced CRM workload and now streamlines multi‑agent customer operations
The best feature that Microsoft Copilot Studio offers is its security and compliance. The security and compliance features stand out for me because my data resides in the Microsoft ecosystem, so while agent creation produces output from Claude, GPT, and other sources, my data remains within the Microsoft ecosystem. Microsoft Copilot Studio's governance and security are excellent. In terms of accuracy and reliability of output, Microsoft Copilot Studio is excellent.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"Automation Anywhere is stable, scalable, and easy to use."
"For a tool that can be fun to use and make people's job better on day one, that is the most valuable feature."
"The biggest benefit of Automation Anywhere is that it makes our processes error-free. Accuracy is how you build efficiency within the system and increase productivity."
"The solution's primary benefit is improved efficiency. Automation Anywhere enabled us to enhance many processes that were previously done manually. It helps save time while improving compliance by keeping the data clean. We've also increased visibility for our end-users because we use the data from Automation Anywhere to build dashboards."
"The most valuable feature is IQ Bot, as it allowed us to train it to extract important logistical information from customer PDF documents, irrespective of the format."
"The solution has removed humans making errors while increasing our time savings, and we now have a lot more efficiencies in our process."
"The most valuable feature is the user-friendly interface."
"AA has improved our digital strategy extensively and provided the required leverage to place ourselves above other peers in the O&G Industry. We were able to develop quick digital solutions by demonstrating the ROI and gain momentum by aligning the desired resources & budget from leadership."
"The features contributing most to operational efficiency with AutoGen are part of the framework that allows you to create AI agents in an accelerated way and the communication between those agents in the same manner."
"The use case involves intelligent code assistance, UI, UX, and integration parts."
"Microsoft Copilot Studio positively impacts my organization by reducing resources, allowing us to use a single Microsoft Copilot Studio agent instead of ten staff members."
"Starting with Microsoft Copilot Studio for product projects, especially for POC and MVP, accelerates the creation and demonstration to clients, helping them interact with and understand the solution before discussing further improvements."
"The integration part in Microsoft Copilot Studio is something I really appreciate because it's very easy to integrate with anything, and the main reason we chose this Studio is its simplicity in developing and building workflows and interconnecting things, especially when it comes to public cloud; life is quite easy."
"Microsoft Copilot Studio has helped enhance my development process quite a lot."
"We have achieved approximately 60 to 70% productivity gain using Microsoft Copilot Studio."
 

Cons

"In the 10.7 version, the back-end port for the MetaBot password has looping. This has been a type of limitation."
"Automation Anywhere's frequent updates are unnecessary and disruptive."
"If you are not on-premise, then you will need to have Citrix automation."
"I would like to have the ability to work on a remote desktop connection, run the recording on it and use all commands."
"The OCR component should allow integration with 3rd party OCR. This way we can use the best of breed solution along with AA or allow better control over OCR packages to be customized."
"The bot scaling process was painful, when you go beyond a few bots, and because we had stability issues. We had to work through the issues, and they took us a long time."
"Support is not very satisfactory."
"I have seen that the South American support is not as good as it should be."
"I do not understand the versioning from Microsoft; the version is 0.4, which has been available since February 2025. There are already multiple platforms on the internet for creating AI agent systems, and I think AutoGen is not as mature as it could be."
"The price for Microsoft Copilot Studio can definitely be improved, as small organizations find it very difficult to manage the subscription."
"Microsoft Copilot Studio sometimes gets stuck after going into longer sessions, which should be addressed by Microsoft."
"While Microsoft Copilot Studio can create documents and add information, it does not do so accurately, and this is an area that needs improvement."
"For analytics, I prefer using the Power BI platform instead of Microsoft Copilot Studio."
"I feel that the pricing and licensing methods of Microsoft Copilot Studio are not very conducive."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"It saves me around $100,000 a year."
"They all are very competitive today. At the end of the day, it boils down to the negotiations that happen and what type of partner you are."
"They give us a good deal on the licensing because we bundle and customize things. If you ask to get a bulk business deal, you will receive more benefit. If you take other products from the suite, like IQ Bot, you can also receive a deal on the licensing."
"Approximately, for a developer, it is around $750 for a license a year. For Bot Runners, it is about $550."
"I find the license pricing to be competitive and reflective of the pricing models throughout the RPA space, and I believe there is a lot of value in continuing to maintain the free community edition platform."
"The solution is costly and the licensing is very confusing."
"The product’s pricing is reasonable."
"The pricing model can be a bit more flexible."
