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 training and resources for this tool are very good, they are so simple that anyone can easily learn it, and one of the tool values is its ease of use."
"For people looking for my recommendation for an automation product, I definitely would recommend Automation Anywhere instead of going for a more orthodox or older technology."
"The most valuable feature is recording in the Control Room, as it allows me to chose what I want to have recorded, ensuring that I get the right thing on time."
"The graphical user interface (GUI) is very useful, since I don't know any coding languages."
"Several manual, repetitive, time-consuming processes were automated, giving back time to the process owner, and for most of them the process now follows a single standard with additional controls created."
"The ease of access and deployment are the most valuable features."
"I strongly recommend Automation Anywhere as a compelling platform for RPA needs."
"I don't think one feature is more valuable than any other. In my opinion, the value is in the totality of the platform. It is easy to use for our developers with a well laid out UI and many canned tools. The Control Room is very easy to navigate and mostly intuitive to use."
"It is a valuable tool for developing efficient solutions, especially in finance and banking."
"The chatbot that they have is most valuable. It is one of the best features because they own it, and they don't need to integrate with other parties to have a chatbot. This is one of the main features. The rest of the features are common to all RPA tools or vendors available in the market."
"The staff went above and beyond to make sure our stay was perfect, even surprising us with a complimentary dessert to celebrate our anniversary."
"It helps us with cost optimization and easy 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."
"In general terms, the solution has helped our business by speeding up execution times."
"The initial setup was easy and straightforward."
"The studio design is fine compared to other similar products. There is nothing extraordinary about it, but at the same time, there are not any negatives."
"The record option and the OCR technology have been great."
"The solution is very manageable."
"The dashboards are quite good, especially on the latest versions."
"From a solution standpoint, screen capture and tight integration with Outlook are valuable features."
"The solution seems to offer high stability. We haven't seen any bugs or glitches. It doesn't crash or freeze."
"Now, we have standardized responses, and our customers are getting better, error-free, and on-time responses."
"BotFarm by Automation Anywhere is great for building bots."
"The initial setup is pretty straightforward."
 

Cons

"The solution could improve the integration with some web applications. It was difficult to manage them."
"For order processing, I would say that it is not very much time-saving because it is also taking time to extract and process, but it is giving us freedom in that the people who are doing the repetitive task are not doing that repetitive task now, and they are doing something else, maybe validation or something more productive."
"Their technical support is good, but it could be better."
"Sometimes, while recording, the screen hangs and we are not able to perform any actions during that time."
"We encountered issues during the upgrade of the framework. We were using the older framework of version 10.3.5. When we were upgrading, we were having a few issues in terms of getting the proper hardware and software prerequisites. For some things, like getting the controls of some of the application's tools, we were getting Automation Anywhere's help."
"The accuracy in Web Recorder needs to be improved, defective outputs found most of the time (not sure if is a website side issue)."
"However, when it comes to the agentic capabilities, there is still a gap where I need to figure out how the token consumption is happening and how my agents are talking with other agents."
"Debugging can be particularly tricky; identifying the exact reasons for bot failures can be time-consuming."
"They could provide more technologies for IT and security to enhance machine learning capabilities."
"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."
"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."
"It's not an intuitive tool."
"While I find AutomationEdge generally stable, I believe that stability needs to be improved a little."
"With the solution, customizing software can be time-consuming."
"We cannot use extra modules while working with AutomationEdge. It crashes if we have lots of data to process in Excel."
"In the future, they should have a similar version for the cloud and on-premises, and the installation should be flawless within few minutes."
"The OCR command needs to improve. This feature is used to convert the extracted data from an image file. While converting this file I was facing a lot of issues with the data because it was getting lost and some of the data which was extracted was mismatched. The data loss was rated as a nine and the data accuracy was a massive decrease and was up to 80%."
"The dashboard needs improvement. For Bot Farm, the visualization is not that good compared to the main Automation Anywhere dashboard."
"The solution is a bit higher on the pricing side."
"The solution can improve the accuracy of hand-written data reading"
"The discovery suite that they just acquired could be included."
"The implementation isn't straightforward. It's a bit complex in terms of deployment as there are a lot of settings you need to handle."
"Sometimes I feel like it doesn't work properly and we are not able to provide the dexterity needed."
"The tool must execute remedial actions to resolve problems before they cause significant incidents."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Automation Anywhere is costlier than the general competition. That is aligned with the share of the market it has."
"Currently, it stands as one of the more expensive RPA tools available."
"We have saved a lot of money on taxes based on the stuff that we run."
"I am not sure about the costs, but two Bot Runners and four Bot Creators may cost approximately 1CR."
"They're very flexible around pricing and licensing."
"It is the most economically friendly and it provides you with a lot of functions."
"I advise others that even as of right now, the setup cost and licensing cost to automate bots on Automation Anywhere is steep but it is worth the investment!"
"This is a comprehensive automation offering with a scalable architecture and flexible pricing models."
"It is expensive but its value can justify the cost."
"Price-wise, AutomationEdge is pretty affordable, making it not so expensive when you compare this with other tools in the market."
"I give the price of the solution a nine out of ten."
"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."
"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."
"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 am very happy with the pricing."
"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."
"The starter price is free."
"An unattended bot license costs around $5,000, whereas an attended bot license costs roughly $1,500."
"We are on an annual license for the solution and is priced well."
"Our licensing costs are approximately $3,000 USD annually."
"We pay approximately $15,000 USD per year."
"Licenses are paid on a yearly basis and the cost is quite high."
