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.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"We have used support a few times for one of our customers, and they respond quickly. If the issue involves a critical production system, they respond to the request on the same day."
"IQ Bot is the most important feature and it has been extensively used by our clients."
"AA brings a lot of benefits for our organization in a number of different ways."
"Automation Anywhere has improved our company a lot, because we are currently trying to leverage automation in different departments to allow employees to work where more human intervention is needed."
"The simplicity and ease of use is the most valuable part of Automation Anywhere."
"It integrates with different types of applications, so we can automate our business partners' redundant, repetitive tasks."
"Automating a tedious manual process has helped to reduce manual work and the time taken to process the records."
"The ease of use and its ability to change the code when something in the main process or core process changes. The ease of use is really good."
"The solution is stable. Even the older versions are stable."
"I find process management and user interface designing the most valuable features."
"With Bonita BPM, you can run the process (as it will in the final stage) immediately after the design stage, giving you 100% control over the quality of your processes and flows."
"I think Bizagi is a powerful software or tool for organization, but Bonita is user-friendly and easy-to-use — easier to use for development."
"We use the on-premises deployment model and the Bonita Community Edition of the solution."
"Studio provides an opportunity to get early feedback from real users and quickly change the process and forms."
"Its user-friendliness, along with the availability of comprehensive and clear documentation on the website is the most valuable."
"Of the three BPM vendors I evaluated, Bonita was the best in creating forms, ease of customization of forms, and versatility of supported platforms, and it is the only BPM platform that I've seen so far that allows for versioning of artifacts."
 

Cons

"The capability of understanding and extracting documents is not very good."
"Also, we're seemingly plagued with certain technological issues or bugs."
"They will need much more support, because it is a new thing and it’ll never fail because of productive partners. It will fail if people on the “gemba” don’t adopt it."
"I would like to have a bot as a service platform on AA Cloud."
"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."
"I would like to see web and cloud-based platforms for future releases."
"I'd like to see the stabilization of Co-Pilot and integration with multiple products... In the future, I will require integration with SAP Oracle, Atlassian, and Service Now. The contact center vertical is important..."
"Automation Anywhere could improve by incorporating better integration with DevOps."
"I would like to improve the product's load balancing."
"There is a considerable learning curve."
"Scalability of the Bonita BPM Community version is low."
"So Bonita is easy to use but it seems to be missing some powerful features that competing products have."
"I should be able to park the tasks that are within a process in a kind of container, and dynamically, a super admin should be able to connect these processes. This kind of feature might be helpful."
"The initial setup is not easy compared to other products."
"Bonita can improve by offering more flexibility. The developer does not receive the code of the application to modify it. Most of the other solutions I have used allow the developers to change or improve the code that is generated."
"Installation could be made easier. I would like to see more automated processes."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Our advice is that anybody interested in this product should negotiate product bundles in order to reduce the cost of installation and setup."
"We save approximately 10,000 hours per year."
"The pricing of AA is similar to UiPath."
"Its price is competitive with all other products in the market."
"Whatever investment, licensing, and resource costs together are put in for development and delivery, we are still at an ROI of 250 percent."
"The enterprise version is expensive for small businesses and individual users."
"We were required to purchase licenses and bot runners, which determined the permissible run times for the bots."
"We have reduced our headcount, approximately 200 to 300 employees, by eliminating manual, repetitive work. It provides profit to the business."
"The Community Edition comes free of charge."
"The price is fair for what we are using the solution for."
"have installed the image of Bonita BPM on Amazon AWS and there is just one option to use and pay for."
"Licensing cost for the Enterprise edition comes out to be around 40,000 a year. There is also a Community edition, which is free. Some customers can go for the Community edition, but some of them require the Enterprise edition. Big companies go for the Enterprise edition, which comes with a lot of additional features such as a mobile app."
"You pay an annual fee and can have an unlimited number of processes and users."
"I believe this is a very good financial choice."
"The price of the solution is reasonable."
"The Enterprise edition is very expensive."
