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.

Automation has transformed invoice and bank processing but still needs faster setup and better integration

Automation Anywhere AI Agent could be improved in a few ways. Since I am currently working with Salesforce and I understand that to compete Automation Anywhere as a middleware product with Mulesoft or Informatica, the implementation phase needs to be quicker. The POC is always successful, but the implementation phase has to be quicker. The business needs to understand this better. Automation Anywhere should get into the business team and focus on explainability at the business level, not just a technical thing, but in the language or discussion where the business team can understand. There is clear business reasoning missing right now. The learning is strong within the process for sure, but there is limited reuse of learning across processes, which I think is very important. Simple model governance for business users is needed so that anyone should be able to use or create bots on Automation Anywhere. Right now, consultants and partners are needed in place. Additionally, Automation Anywhere should have native integrations with core platforms such as Oracle, SAPs, Salesforce, and ServiceNow. It should have out of the box integration rather than going for APIs because the deals which are not getting closed with Automation Anywhere or UIPath are purely because these organizations do not have out-of-the-box connectors available.

Significantly reduces manual effort and improves team workflows through automated ticketing

We've used Agent Builder, IXP, and Maestro for orchestration. We have created context-grounded searches or chatbots using context grounding, and we also use context grounding within an Agentic flow where a bot or agent reads ServiceNow tickets to determine whether it has been assigned to the right work group. If it has not been assigned correctly due to human error, it automatically reassigns it to the right group. I would assess Agentic AI's ability to extract data points as effective. We created an agent for the purpose of extracting data, though not in a document. We created what we call an email conversation agent that engages with a customer, vendor, or someone in an email conversation with a set goal of extracting specific data points for an action to be performed subsequently. The one automation we have deployed in production involves the agent interacting with team members to collect data points and create a ServiceNow ticket. We appreciate almost all features of UiPath Platform, with one of the most successful ones being the use of Coms Mining. Most of the new features related to AI have all been good, and we use Agentic. We have already created a few agents and have started to use Maestro for a few flows, though we are not yet there to orchestrate an end-to-end workflow. We have good ROI from the automations we have developed with UiPath Platform, which far exceeds the investment in the platform. It has saved us tens of thousands of hours in manual effort, making the team members happy to pursue other things of value.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"In general, when you set up the cloud solution, it's very, very easy."

"RPA is a feature that really helped eliminate errors during the execution of structured business processes."

"IQ Bot is the most important feature and it has been extensively used by our clients."

"Our primary use has been to automate a few mundane tasks in the organization, which really helped us in this COVID situation, easing everyone's tasks, ensuring they were completed on time and without errors, keeping our customers happy, and enabling our vendors to help us meet customer satisfaction without compromising on anything."

"It's easy to use for business users. Everything is good. It's a nice product."

"It improved the task performance at a team level and improved productivity."

"The Automation Anywhere automation tool is user-friendly, especially compared to UiPath and Blue Prism."

"The best feature is the drag-and-drop command. Users with less coding knowledge can also automate their end-to-end processes very easily."

More Automation Anywhere pros

"Since all three benefits are achieved—accuracy, efficiency, and cost saving—the business impact and dollar impact is really high."

"By automating repetitive processes such as data entry, report generation, and transaction processing, I reduced manual effort significantly as tasks that earlier took hours now take minutes, resulting in clear time savings."

"We are now building all these checks through Automation Anywhere AI Agent which will do all the AI checks and then give the decision whether the policy is to be issued or not."

"I feel Automation Anywhere AI Agent is better than Blue Prism in that specific context."

"Is it easy to build automation using UiPath in comparison, to, for example, Blue Prism or Power Automate."

"We haven't delivered a project where we haven't seen a return on investment using UiPath."

"UI commands with minutes change in selector: The command works effectively in all environments."

"We freed up a lot of our sales team's time, they now spend half the time doing the job which has been automated, and this has made our sales team happy."

"The AI feature has enabled us to automate more processes overall."

"UiPath's most valuable features are the UI library and object repository, which speed up the development."

"The best feature, for sure, is the ease of development. It's very easy to create an automation from scratch... UiPath has a more friendly development environment compared to other vendors of RPA."

"Regarding all the solutions that we have provided as a company, we were able to give our clients better efficiency and the ability to distribute their employees' work to more important matters."

More UiPath Platform pros

Cons

"Going on-cloud comes with security hiccups and concerns."

"The solution could improve the integration with some web applications. It was difficult to manage them."

"IQ Bot has some limitations that should be improved in future releases."

"OCR capability needs to become better."

"Automation Anywhere has some limitations."

"Cloud was one of the features we wanted to see, because it makes it much easier. The second feature is ease of use in terms of agnostic operating system."

"The focus on usability and user experience is bang on. Addressing several personas and making it easy for every persona to adopt and embrace is the spot on focus. That's an area that has a lot more room to improve. In the absence of that, the skills and expertise in the industry are going to struggle and if you need broader adoption, which has maximum potential, the persona-based user experience is a focus and I'd say Automation Anywhere is already working on."

"I attended and successfully completed the certification for the Document Automation Masterclass. For this, we tried to automate handwritten documents, but it was not successful. I believe there is room for improvement. This was the only use case we had in the last couple of months where we attempted this and did not get the desired results."

More Automation Anywhere cons

"The OCR and document understanding of Automation Anywhere AI Agent still struggle with complex and unstructured formats such as invoices with multiple layouts, poor scan quality, or handwritten fields."

"The implementation cost even for a POC was very high, and that was a pain for all the customers."

"When considering weaknesses and improvements, the platform does not give us the liberty to use our own features where we can bring out creativity."

"A lot of the UiPath processes are capturing information from government websites. It's difficult to capture the correct format, so we need to use a third-party application to capture the information correctly. It would be better to have that capacity with UiPath, so we don't need another product."

"We have had some issues with StudioX."

"We'd like to see mobile robots in the future."

"OCR is something which could be improved on to some extent as the result is not very accurate."

"We can not exceed ten records in the UiPath database because the UiPath architecture will become extremely slow and not respond."

"It's expensive."

"On any area, an additional feature that must be included is the AI, with the respective documentation and support."

"The solution is expensive."

More UiPath Platform cons

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The solution itself is free unless we want to add the support option but we have to pay for the bots we use."

"Automation Anywhere might have a higher upfront cost than some competitors, but its extensive features and seamless integration with other tools can save organizations money in the long run."

"Annually, we are paying almost one million reais."

"It is affordable for us."

"There is an annual license to use the solution."

"This solution costs approximately $3,500 USD per license."

"This is a value for the money product."

"We have seen ROI in terms of cost and time with a couple of our projects."

"We analyzed and compared the costs of RPA from different vendors and we found that UiPath was the most cost-effective in the long term. An unattended robot costs approximately $8,500 annually."

"Its actual cost turned out to be about two times more than what we thought it was going to be upfront. There were hardware costs that we were not expecting. Some of the server costs and things of that nature were higher than what we were expecting but based upon the return, it was a net."

"It is pricey at the beginning, but we'll have to see going forward what we get for the tools. It is always expensive to buy a really nice car and not drive it very far and very much. So, it is about utilization."

"Some features are very costly, like Document Understanding. That is why in India many customers are not using the Document Understanding license. This is a premium feature and its licensing costs are high compared to other tools."

"I think the setup cost is quite nominal, but the licensing might be on a higher side when compared to Automation Anywhere."

"With respect to the cost, you're going to recognize the savings immediately for the cost of the tool."

"The pricing for the robots is fair. One thing that annoys us a little bit is that we have to pay for each developer. With Blue Prism, you can have 20 developers and not incur any additional costs. We don't like having to piecemeal all these different licenses. It is providing value, but it is not in the sense of a robot. You're paying for the tools, whereas other people just give you the tools, and then you pay for the bots."

"UiPath is expensive."
