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 streamlined client data extraction and has improved reporting for business decisions
I work as a developer, and my manager is responsible for the research and analytics for the project with the client and business users. I am satisfied with BotFarm. I would rate my experience with BotFarm an eight out of ten. I do not see any room for improvement for BotFarm. I am using AI tools such as Amazon, Microsoft Azure, and ChatGPT. I am not using AI-powered bots in BotFarm. I am a partner with Automation Anywhere.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"We have saved time and money using this solution."
"The tool is a huge time saver. If I want to do something manually, it will take half an hour, but the bot can do the task within minute or seconds. In a day, month, or year, this will be a huge amount of time for me. A reduction to a fraction of seconds will be a big impact."
"The company continues with research and development to expand the capabilities of the product to meet market needs."
"We've shifted platforms a couple of times, and Automation Anywhere is the one that stuck based on end-user experience, the ease of development, and trainability with the tool."
"The core RPA service that it provides and the stability that it has in maintaining that as a cloud service solution is a key enabler for us. Its stability is good, and the low-code/no-code setup that it has is very user-efficient."
"It saves time."
"Being able to connect with third-party tools is the best feature."
"Human errors have been rectified due to bot usage."
"The most important feature of BotFarm is web automation."
"The solution has a lot of great features inside of it that clients can take advantage of."
"Technical support is really good; when we have had issues, they have been able to help us and gave us several solutions based on the challenges that we were facing."
"BotFarm is an easy solution to use and the interface is better than older versions."
"The dashboards are quite good, especially on the latest versions."
"The product has increased efficiency and reduced the time spent on tasks."
"The entire backend system structure is something that I found really valuable."
"The solution is great to automate any repetitive tasks, which you might do on a daily basis."
 

Cons

"Getting buy-in was a major challenge because of the various people not aware of the technologies moving and getting buy-in from top management is a challenge."
"PDF extraction and cognitive automation need improvement."
"Replacing the list of search options with voice commands for each item would be great."
"They should improve process discovery features."
"Sometimes, while recording, the screen hangs and we are not able to perform any actions during that time."
"I think Automation Anywhere could be improved by addressing the learning curve, as it is a little complex to start using it, especially for people new to automation tools."
"If the option were available to use the old generic-style variable type, it would be helpful."
"The stability could be enhanced."
"BotFarm newer version has been difficult to install, we have been in contact with the support on this matter."
"Scalability is an area of improvement. We can increase the main features for our project but when we reached out to our personnel and asked whether Bot can be expanded, we were told "You cannot scale this Bot."
"The solution is a bit higher on the pricing side."
"The pricing of this product could be better."
"An area for improvement in BotFarm is that the communication between the Control Room and the Bot Client Missions isn't utilized well."
"Sometimes I feel like it doesn't work properly and we are not able to provide the dexterity needed."
"The deployment could be simplified."
"The image processing capabilities definitely need to be improved."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"We have saved a lot of money on taxes based on the stuff that we run."
"The product starts at $10,000 and then it's up to you regarding how much you can consume."
"The setup cost depends on multiple factors, so you need to get details before choosing."
"Despite being less expensive than UiPath, Automation Anywhere remains cost-prohibitive for many small and medium-sized businesses."

"The certifications are free of cost."
"It is fantastic. It has been great. It is perfectly priced for the quality received. When paying for quality, that is exactly what you get."

"The licensing is on a monthly basis."
"We are on an annual license for the solution and is priced well."
"I am very happy with the pricing."
"The starter price is free."
"Licenses are paid on a yearly basis and the cost is quite high."
"We pay approximately $15,000 USD per year."
"Its price is quite high as compared to other solutions, but it has a lot of features and good stability. They should reduce its price."
"An unattended bot license costs around $5,000, whereas an attended bot license costs roughly $1,500."
