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.

Delivers increased productivity and streamlines fraud processing in banking, though technical support could be faster
Before AutomationEdge, we had to hire coder-level experts with Java or Python knowledge. This approach took considerable time and required error handling to automate processes. With this tool, all processes are automatically handled with errors, and no-code automation is available. The cost for a developer is now significantly lower. Previously, we hired highly efficient developers with high salary packages. The license cost of 5 to 10 lakhs per year for one person to automate is equivalent to a person's annual salary. With the license and a developer hired at 3 to 5 lakhs, we can automate 40 to 50 processes.

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 stellar and the pre-built bots on the bot store help reduce the development time and effort. The IQ Bot solution can read from scanned images and documents which has hugely benefited the mortgage processing team."
"Automation Anywhere has improved our company a lot. The SLA of some tasks that we need to deliver to some clients has improved greatly."
"There has been a great return on investment."
"One of the notable benefits we've realized from Automation Anywhere is a significant reduction in errors when processing data, which improves both revenue accuracy and operational efficiency."
"The most valuable feature is its Excel integration."
"It is easy to automate SAP by using Cloning and Metabot."
"The ability to customize added automation to a lot of situations where human judgment and interpretation are not required."
"It's very easy for business users to learn Automation Anywhere."
"It is a valuable tool for developing efficient solutions, especially in finance and banking."
"Attended versus unattended automation in AutomationEdge has benefited my organization significantly."
"The staff went above and beyond to make sure our stay was perfect, even surprising us with a complimentary dessert to celebrate our anniversary."
"The product's most valuable feature is the executor."
"The most valuable feature of AutomationEdge is creating accounts."
"AutomationEdge has shown the most productive impact, and the productivity was excellent before, and now it can increase by 20 to 30% more with AI implementation."
"AutomationEdge has shown the most productive impact, and the productivity was excellent before, and now it can increase by 20 to 30% more with AI implementation."
"It helps us with cost optimization and easy implementation."
 

Cons

"If you want to use Chrome then there are three or four additional steps that need to be completed."
"In high-availability, we have two Control Rooms acting as a cluster so if one fails the other one will take over. But that's not our environment operationally, and the latest information we have is that they identified another product bug."
"There can be some options to connect to the database directly where we should be able to add some data."
"We run these bots in multiple environments from staging to development to production. We find usually in the production environment when we run the bots for them to be stable for a week or two. After a week or two, we see some glitches here and there, though the application doesn't change much. This is one feature which I want Automation Anywhere to work on: Increasing stability."
"However, it does not work as well with retrieving data from images."
"We are having trouble creating a reliable and stable situation in our environment."
"One improvement would be to implement a log mechanism within the workflow, similar to other automation tools. Currently, the log mechanism uses a text file. If we want to monitor a process, we need to check manually."
"I never use Automation Anywhere in the attended space because they are bad at that, at least compared to other players like us or UiPath."
"The price of the solution could be improved."
"In the future, they should have a similar version for the cloud and on-premises, and the installation should be flawless within few minutes."
"With other automation solutions in the market, we can simulate the process in our notebooks where the solution creates the code for us, but with AutomationEdge we can't do this."
"The ease of use is the main thing on which they really have to focus. If they want to go against the giants, it should be improved in ease of use, and it should be more user-friendly. It would be helpful because everyone should be empowered irrespective of whether they know how to code or not. They should enhance its user interface and make it more intuitive."
"With the solution, customizing software can be time-consuming."
"There are some shortcomings in the product's stability that need improvement."
"Regarding stability and reliability, AutomationEdge is mid-range. When compared with other tools such as Automation Anywhere and UIPath, they are more stable than AutomationEdge."
"The licensing for this solution should have a more competitive pricing model. The price is in the top five of similar products."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Our annual licensing costs are around $100,000 a year."
"I think the pricing is reasonable, but clients often perceive it as expensive."
"Automation Anywhere is competitive... Pega is somewhat comparable, but Pega also requires a lot more infrastructure and a lot more experience to get up and running."
"Automation Anywhere is affordable."
"The setup and licensing cost is affordable, and it is not exaggerated like UiPath."
"Automation Anywhere's price is considerably better than UiPath's."
"Our costs are approximately between $5,000 to $10,000 per license."
"The licensing fees are approximately $10,000 USD for between five and ten users."
"I give the price of the solution a nine out of ten."
"The licensing for this solution should have a more competitive pricing model. The price is in the top five of similar products."
"Pricing can be made better. Currently, I think the pricing is based on the market. The pricing also depends on the business partners that offer you the solution."
"If you are looking for a budget solution, you can consider AE. It has all the features. Scaling it is way easier because of the cost itself."
"Price-wise, AutomationEdge is pretty affordable, making it not so expensive when you compare this with other tools in the market."
"The product is available at the lowest price."
"It is expensive but its value can justify the cost."
