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.

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

"The OCR application is excellent and has helped resolve many issues that I had been facing."
"The time savings are valuable."
"Using this solution has freed internal operations employees to do more "human value-add" work by removing mundane manual tasks."
"With this innovative tool's automation, it is very dynamic, easy to develop, and deliver results quickly."
"In my case in particular, I come from a business background, not an IT background. So, it sort of speaks for itself that I was able to pickup its functionality and how it works. In the space of two years time, I've gone from a junior developer to a senior specialist. So, it really speaks for itself in terms of being user-friendly."
"Sometimes the customer will not provide any data. Using Automation Anywhere, we can easily automate to capture the customer data. Then, we can use that customer data inside the Cisco Unified Wire Voice Portal."
"Automation Anywhere is very easy to use; it's a low-code platform that a person who doesn't have any technical knowledge can use."
"Automation Anywhere improved our organization since it saved us a lot monetary value."
"The ability to automate our processes with external plug-ins and zero code is the most valuable feature."
"In general terms, the solution has helped our business by speeding up execution times."
"AutomationEdge is really easy to use because the workflows are simple."
"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."
"The initial setup was easy and straightforward."
"The staff went above and beyond to make sure our stay was perfect, even surprising us with a complimentary dessert to celebrate our anniversary."
"We can quickly adapt to our end users."
"There are not many challenges when setting up this solution, and there is a good amount of documentation to go with it."
"The solution has very good processes. It's very easy to deploy and has good reviews on it. It offers good automation and the solution has very good developers working on it."
"The product has increased efficiency and reduced the time spent on tasks."
"The system is stable and very little maintenance is required, assuming the bots process is perfectly designed."
"One of the most valuable features is the solution's simple automation regarding object cloning and strings variables."
"The solution is great to automate any repetitive tasks, which you might do on a daily basis."
"Last year I faced a problem and, subsequently, raised a ticket, and the support team is great and they helped me to resolve the issue within three or four days."
"What I like most about BotFarm is that it's one of the leading RPA products in the market, and very few products focus on robotics today, so I like that BotFarm offers a lot in terms of what general customers expect it to do."
 

Cons

"The initial implementation of Automation Anywhere regarding the elastic search and database set connection can be a little difficult. However, I am skilled enough to get through it. There were some balancing issues that my other team members had to manage. They are having difficulty in balancing when I checked the architecture properly. We determined later that there was no need for a load balance to be done on the servers. We didn't do any load balancing and then the elastic search was not done."
"Currently, there are some vulnerabilities in security that need attention in Automation Anywhere."
"From a QA and development perspective, we would like to communicate with the tech support through email and have that put in the dashboard. This would let us better track the ticket and make it easier for us to communicate with Automation Anywhere."
"Vertical connecting lines would be appropriate within the code, and a collapse/expand feature for code blocks would be ideal."
"AA has many features but the issue is with the loss of overhead on computing resources."
"When we need to upgrade the bot version for various applications like SAP, the compatibility issues could be easier to resolve. The financial team is using version 5 or 6, but the automation engineer recommends only version 6 because it is more compatible. I think Automation Anywhere could handle these compatibility issues better."
"I would like to see more bots available right out-of-the-box in the SAP area. For example, if you take the overall OTC in our organization, we have to contact 15 teams. Even if we provide one big bot for the OTC, it won't work. It will not be used by one person. So if there could be more specific bots out-of-the-box, that would be really helpful."
"Automation Anywhere is not very scalable because the update and upgrade process requires immense effort from the IT organization to do a tool check."
"In the future, they should have a similar version for the cloud and on-premises, and the installation should be flawless within few minutes."
"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."
"We cannot use extra modules while working with AutomationEdge. It crashes if we have lots of data to process in Excel."
"It's not an intuitive tool."
"AutomationEdge's ecosystem has shortcomings and needs improvement. When we compare AutomationEdge to other RPA tools in our company, we find that it has a very minor online community."
"The licensing for this solution should have a more competitive pricing model. The price is in the top five of similar products."
"The price of the solution could be improved."
"With the solution, customizing software can be time-consuming."
"I would like to have access to self-service support."
"Although I like the OCR technology, it could still be further improved."
"The licensing schemes could be more competitive. They need to be much more flexible in their pricing."
"I would like to be able to access BotForm using a mobile app."
"The machine learning needs to be improved so that they perform better in terms of predictive analysis and sentiment analysis."
"The OCR tool, the optical character recognition tool, could be more efficient."
"We do have some troubles with the internal software commands, but we have been troubleshooting this bug to fix it."
"IQ Bot, used by BotFarm, needs to be improved with respect to being able to read handwritten documents using the OCR."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The licensing cost is approximately $4,000 USD, which is a seed license."
"The cost for scalability is much cheaper than developing a new system."
"The cost is high for small-scale businesses but it is fine for medium and large enterprises. Its high licensing cost may affect small-scale businesses. Reducing licensing costs would benefit many users."
"The pricing is a bit higher."
"We were required to purchase licenses and bot runners, which determined the permissible run times for the bots."
"Automation Anywhere is expensive, making it more suitable for enterprise organizations."
"Yearly, our licensing costs are about $90,000 to $100,000. There will be additional licensing costs when we add more Bot Runners to our infrastructure."

"The licensing for this solution should have a more competitive pricing model. The price is in the top five of similar products."
"The product is available at the lowest price."
"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."
"It is expensive but its value can justify the cost."
"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."
"I give the price of the solution a nine out of ten."
"Price-wise, AutomationEdge is pretty affordable, making it not so expensive when you compare this with other tools in the market."
