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.

The tool needs to improve in the areas of security, though it is a versatile product

Inflectra Rapise needs to expand its ability. I spoke with Inflectra's executive account rep on the need to expand the tool's ability. The problem with Inflectra Rapise is that a lot of companies are still using SAP GUI. Inflectra has no intention of building Rapise in a way that allows it to interact with SAP GUI. Inflectra Rapise has very limited value for the companies I work with because they they still use SAP GUI since their top priority is SAP testing, and they want to get into automation, for which they need a tool that cannot only used to automate processes, but can also do end-to-end testing where you are not only using SAP GUI, but you are using the interface with old legacy systems that are still in use or with today's more modern technologies. In the future, the tool needs to increase its versatility. If I am at a company that uses 23 different technologies, like .NET Visual Basic, Oracle, SQL, or whatever, Inflectra Rapise needs to be made as a product that is an out-of-the-box usable tool for any technology.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"Other products are more low-code, whereas Automation Anywhere is no-code making it easier to learn and user-friendly."

"The ROI on major bots has been phenomenal."

"AA helped us to reduce the processing time of requests almost instantly."

"It helps in improving employee productivity, morale, and retention, as automation removes the tedious parts of work and frees up often stretched-thin employees for more meaningful and creative work."

"Automation Anywhere's document automation, powered by IQ Bots and now enhanced with AI, stands out as a particularly valuable feature."

"We recently switched to document automation that comes with the bundle. It is a good feature because earlier, we needed to purchase a separate license for IQ Bot, but now the enterprise license includes the DA license. This eliminates the need for an additional license for document automation."

"We have a very resourceful pipeline to use AA bots in our RPA projects and we are looking to be more engaged with the AA team in deploying these bots."

"I'd say there are new useful features that will definitely help us as we do more development in the near future."

More Automation Anywhere pros

"The product's most valuable feature is the executor."

"AutomationEdge is really easy to use because the workflows are simple."

"Stability-wise, I rate the solution a nine out of ten...I rate the technical support of the solution a nine out of ten."

"Attended versus unattended automation in AutomationEdge has benefited my organization significantly."

"It is a valuable tool for developing efficient solutions, especially in finance and banking."

"The support from the vendor is very good."

"In general terms, the solution has helped our business by speeding up execution times."

"The most valuable feature of AutomationEdge is creating accounts."

More AutomationEdge pros

"The scripting of this tool is easy and user friendly."

"The first time I used Rapise I completed the automation scripts for a full application in a day and I was shocked how easy it was."

"We saved thousands of dollars because the Rapise implementation gave us 30 or more executions for every release compared to three or four, so huge savings on manual testing effort plus easy detection of defects is very cost effective."

"We always use the product for end-to-end automation test cases."

"The initial setup was straightforward; it wasn't complex at all, and we found it nice and easy."

"It's pretty straightforward to set up."

"Rapise is a good automation tool that's easy to use and learn, and you can share scripts as a team, which is very helpful."

"It's incredible but the support and maintenance of Inflectra Rapise's scripts is less than 30% of the effort that was involved in maintaining Selenium, it is very easy and this is the reason that we are switching everything that needs handling from Selenium to Inflectra Rapise, as it is easy to maintain and provides a benefit in cost and efforts with a 90% reduction factor in the maintenance of the scripts."

More Inflectra Rapise pros

Cons

"We encountered issues during the upgrade of the framework."

"A standardized improvement area for any RPA tool is making it more user-friendly. This can be done by allowing users to give instructions in their language. For example, one should be able to say in his or her language to automate the login page of the XYZ application. It should be able to create a flow based on the information or screenshots that the user provides."

"My experience has been that if the person who codes the bot is not very well-trained, then they might create unstable bots."

"The overall product in Automation Anywhere is good, but they need to improve a little bit on the overall architecture side."

"OCR technology could be more inclusive by offering a wider range of supported languages, as its current selection is limited."

"I would like to have a bot as a service platform on AA Cloud."

"There are a lot of things that need to be improved, especially related to the Control Room, but you can develop and scale with this tool very, very fast."

"The main disadvantage of Automation Anywhere is its high cost."

More Automation Anywhere cons

"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."

"In the future, they should have a similar version for the cloud and on-premises, and the installation should be flawless within few minutes."

"In AutomationEdge, I think there could be improvements. The variables sometimes are really confusing when you use them because the aspects around the variables are confusing, particularly the global variables and the local variables."

"The licensing for this solution should have a more competitive pricing model. The price is in the top five of similar products."

"The installation process could improve. It was difficult to complete."

"With the solution, customizing software can be time-consuming."

"It's not an intuitive tool."

"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."

More AutomationEdge cons

"Inflectra Rapise needs to expand its ability."

"The maintenance is very difficult."

"The maintenance is very difficult. We've only been using the platform for three months, so I'm not sure if that will continue, but right now it's an observation I've had."

"I faced one problem where it can't validate the colour of images and text. Also, it could not automate the mobile app, and this needs to be included."

"What I have noticed about Rapise is that sometimes when you keep on using the same script, it fails many times."

"It would be good if there could be more integration of Inflectra Rapise, since not all customers use the same tool for test management and automation integration."

"It has some stability issues where the tool crashes sometimes on Windows 10."

"When there are failures in a nightly run of batches of scripts, it can create a blocking situation where all the following scripts will fail due to unexpected results."

Pricing and Cost Advice

"In terms of pricing, this is a good product."

"My understanding is that the license cost of Automation Anywhere is more reasonable than UiPath and Blue Prism."

"It is expensive. Automation Anywhere has reduced the price slightly, as we have grown. However, the price is still excessive enough that we are engaged in PoCs on other tools."

"It's the best RPA tool, but the pricing could be improved."

"We have seen the tangible benefits of taking monotonous work off people's plates, creating capacity, and cost reductions."

"More than 40 to 50 percent of the IT budget will be for the cost of automation projects in the coming years since these projects enhance operations add value."

"It depends. For example, for my group, we are centralizing the infrastructure in Paris. Our contract is signed with Automation Anywhere in France. The currency and the pricing of Automation Anywhere in France can appear beneficial and interesting for Germany and Scandinavian countries, but when we share our infra and are internally charging other countries such as Poland, Brazil, or some other country with a lower currency value as compared to Euro, it becomes less beneficial. They would prefer to sign the contract directly with Automation Anywhere because they will benefit from a price that is as per their local market."

"I have heard that Automation Anywhere is expensive."

More Automation Anywhere pricing and cost advice

"Price-wise, AutomationEdge is pretty affordable, making it not so expensive when you compare this with other tools in the market."

"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."

"The product is available at the lowest price."

"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."

"It is expensive but its value can justify the cost."

"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."

"We pay no more than $50 annually for support of each one of the licenses."

"I rate the product's price an eight on a scale of one to ten, where ten means very good pricing."
