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.

Software Engineer at Apmosys

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.

Automates browsing tasks without needing a server connection

I have worked with Microsoft Power Platform and UiPath. Kofax RPA offers a comprehensive solution with built-in capabilities for executing tasks like running Excel files and web automation without additional servers. They provide their browsers and extensions. For functions such as OCR, image processing, and data extraction, Kofax has built-in features powered by their engine, eliminating the need for subscriptions to external technologies like Microsoft Cognitive Services or Google Search. One of Kofax RPA's strongest features is its on-premise solution, which is particularly beneficial for organizations operating in regions with data regulations, such as the UAE.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The technical support is something that I rely on if I have any queries or if I have to work on another alternate approach."

"Automation Anywhere has impacted our efficiency and productivity in a very positive way since we are shutting down a very manual process."

"The Control Room is the most valuable feature. This is where I can schedule a task. It runs 24/7, so it's a great feature that I love. If we are not in office, we can schedule something and leave, then the bot will run at the scheduled time."

"It has helped us to save a lot of FTEs for our solutions that we have provided to our companies. Suppose a job which was done by a group of eight to nine people on a daily basis for 24 hours was taking a lot of time, so we created a bot with Automation Anywhere. It was done with a bot working 24/7. It reduced the numbers of guys required to do that process."

"RPA platform with a good accuracy rate, variable management, and OCR feature. It has a straightforward setup."

"Automation Anywhere has helped my customers save time and costs, especially in card settlements, where a task that used to take about fourteen days to refund the user now takes the next day or at the same time using Robotic Process Automation."

"From an organizational perspective, it has improved how we work and determine, "Is there a better way to do things?" and, "How can we challenge the status quo?" This builds a continuous improvement mindset throughout our organization."

"Having no restriction for any single programming language is very useful."

More Automation Anywhere pros

"The support from the vendor is very good."

"The staff went above and beyond to make sure our stay was perfect, even surprising us with a complimentary dessert to celebrate our anniversary."

"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 ability to automate our processes with external plug-ins and zero code is the most valuable feature."

"It helps us with cost optimization and easy implementation."

"We can quickly adapt to our end users."

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

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

More AutomationEdge pros

"The most valuable feature is the robotic process."

"You can automate browsing tasks without needing a server connection. The platform provides its browser, allowing you to run anything inside it."

"I would definitely recommend this solution."

"The product provided all the security controls that we asked them."

"The pricing of the solution is quite good."

"It is stable and scalable."

"The product provides end-to-end solutions for different business problems."

"The most valuable features are workflow and process automation."

More Tungsten RPA pros

Cons

"The technical support needs improvement."

"It may sound a little funny or weird, but one thing that we are thinking is we have to go to various websites and pick up relevant data from various websites using the bot."

"It would be helpful if Device Credentials can sync with Active Directory so that for the IT policy case that requires periodic password resetting, there is no need for a human to input manually into each Bot Runner machine."

"I would like to see a comment feature that allows you to embed comments/notes into an action sidebar, without having to actually take up a line of code in order to write such a statement."

"We have had issues with stability in the past, and there should be a function that helps you to find out what is wrong with your environment that is causing the automation to fail."

"The first version would double our cost."

"However, if documents are scanned and not clear, the accuracy is not up to the mark."

"AA has many features but the issue is with the loss of overhead on computing resources."

More Automation Anywhere cons

"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."

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

"We cannot use extra modules while working with AutomationEdge. It crashes if we have lots of data to process in Excel."

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

"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."

"It's not an intuitive tool."

"AutomationEdge's primary issue is its price point, especially compared to other products."

More AutomationEdge cons

"I would like to see them further enhance the OCR, specifically in the multi-language support."

"The solution could use some AI integrated features."

"Kofax RPA's UI could be more user-friendly."

"There have been a lot of issues we have had that have taken weeks, if not months to fix and the support is not satisfactory."

"Its documentation is not widely available on the web. They should work on the availability of its documentation. In Automation Anywhere, there is a feature called Discovery Bot that automatically records the process steps and suggests a possible bot. I am not sure if such a feature is available in Kofax. If it is not available, it will be very good to have this feature. "

"Concatenation of error messages."

"There is really nothing special about the capabilities of this product."

"The process discovery could be a bit better."

More Tungsten RPA cons

Pricing and Cost Advice

"In the Indian market, I feel that for mid-size companies, such as ourselves, that having multiple bots costs a lot. If Automation Anywhere wants to expand in the Indian market, they will need to look at their pricing."

"If we count the integrations that we have done with Appian, which is where a lot of our savings is from, we are well over a million dollars in savings. This is from only doing development for about a year and a half."

"I am not sure about the costs, but two Bot Runners and four Bot Creators may cost approximately 1CR."

"The pricing for Automation Anywhere is reasonable."

"In terms of monetary savings, we automated a bot in three days that has saved us $30,000 in costs."

"One of the things that will be good for the community will be to get the free version to download, which came out just a month ago called Community Edition. So, you can actually download it and try it for yourself."

"We brought onshore a lot of what we were doing offshore, saving our company close to $20 million."

"We have saved customers 400% in terms of time saved by implementing this product."

More Automation Anywhere pricing and cost advice

"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."

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

"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."

"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."

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

"I don't have complete insight at this point in time, but I would guess that Kofax is a lot less expensive than Automation Anywhere. I would expect its license to be on a yearly basis."

"Kofax's prices are pretty reasonable."

"Kofax RPA is moderately priced but expensive in comparison to UiPath and Power Automate."

"Price is not a problem, because they are a competitor and we have a special rate."

"Kofax RPA's licensing costs are yearly and expensive."

"The pricing model for automation solutions like Automation Anywhere, UiPath, and Microsoft Power Platform is subscription-based, where costs are calculated based on factors such as the number of hours used and the scale of automation required.......With Kofax, you purchase a license upfront, and that's all you need. You can create as many automation workflows as you require without additional costs for individual use cases."

"I give the price of the solution a six out of ten."

"The cost depends on the number of licenses and the number of RPAs."
