Venkat Sivaprakash

Management Consultant at Accenture

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.

Jajati Panda

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.

Hemanth Pagadala

Senior Business Process Automation Engineer at a manufacturing company with 10,001+ employees

Automation has transformed document processing and frees teams to focus on higher‑value analysis

Sometimes, we encounter system errors that could be resolved via support, but connection issues are more frequent in enterprise applications. However, these can usually be solved by raising tickets if you are part of an enterprise, though we are not, which makes it somewhat challenging. It is vital to ensure the connections of UiPath Platform are maintained because it has a larger community. If UiPath Platform website included more features and documentation accessible easily, it would greatly enhance the experience. Instead of continually needing to raise support tickets, having a documentation hub where details can just be entered to retrieve required documents would be extremely beneficial.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The return on investment from Automation Anywhere at our organization has been both tangible and intangible, delivering value far beyond the initial financial calculation."

"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."

"Automated data processing is the most valuable feature of Automation Anywhere."

"The overall UI of the tool is so user-friendly that even a beginner can use it easily."

"Automate Anywhere can just mimic what a human does."

"It improved the task performance at a team level and improved productivity."

"The most valuable feature is the conversion of PDF Invoices to CSV and to PDF Boxes."

"An easy to deploy and learn automation tool that can save resources, effort and money."

More Automation Anywhere pros

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

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

"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 initial setup was easy and straightforward."

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

"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."

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

"If we want to change your processes, we can code it from scratch, making it a beneficial feature of the product."

More AutomationEdge pros

"By automating tasks through the use of robots, we can achieve significant time and manpower savings."

"The training available in UiPath is really awesome and the material makes you automation-ready so that one can work on real-time projects."

"Positive factors include ease of development, ease of maintenance, robust security, and a very good installed client base."

"This solution is intuitive, user-friendly, and has a specific framework that allows for quick robot deployment."

"As an implementor, we appreciate the rich feature set of UiPath and the strong training provided."

"UiPath's Object Repository was huge. I could build these libraries because our industry works with many of the same systems. It's hard to integrate with Yardi's core CRM, and many of our automation efforts focus on getting information in and out of that system. The ability to build these libraries of reusable selectors has dramatically benefited me over the past couple of years."

"The automation saves on manual labor."

"It saves manual labor. Those that don't use it have to hire ten to 15 people to do the same job."

More UiPath Platform pros

Cons

"The OCR can be a little better because sometimes while scrapping, it leads to data loss."

"I feel that document extraction like IQ Bot can be made more refined so that it may reach its full potential."

"Regarding the UI, once you're on some of the screens there are fixed dialogues, they are a set size, so there's a lot of horizontal scrolls and vertical scrolls. If I want to do something that is purely business-related and is somewhat complex to write or is nuanced, I sometimes have trouble implementing that inside of the Automation Anywhere script."

"Providing a desktop version rather than focusing on the cloud is essential. Only UiPath offers a studio environment for desktop application development."

"Automation Anywhere is not fully compatible with browsers other than Internet Explorer while working with web extraction."

"PDF extraction and cognitive automation need improvement."

"While we have been developing over time, there have been issues with stability."

"We had a major issue when it came to single sign-on. We couldn't get it working."

More Automation Anywhere cons

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

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

"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."

"The price of the solution could be improved."

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

"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 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."

"There is significant room for improvement."

More AutomationEdge cons

"I really wish that UiPath would have moderators in their forums who are more active. There are a lot of questions that go unanswered, and that is a shame."

"The licensing has been a challenge in terms of what is included with our current license."

"I would like to see more integration with solutions, like SAP, especially because the biggest companies have a lot of SAP implementations going on. If they would have more packages to support native SAP activities or perform connectivity to some of those SAP clients in transaction codes, it would be awesome."

"UiPath should take several steps forward to be prepared for this competition and create differentiation with capabilities that Microsoft does not have. The innovation within UiPath is going to be very, very crucial. However, the most important thing is clear the differentiation in the messaging."

"The operations need to be improved."

"The pricing of particularly on the bot licenses is placed to maximize revenue forUiPath and is not in the best interests of the customer. For example, if I have 150 robots, our utilization of that is about 27% as my demands come in spikes. Most of the robots sit there doing nothing, and I paid for them."

"I can’t think of any direct places where improvements need to happen. Whatever I need, it appears to be there. That said, any app could use some form of improvement."

"I would like to see all a full-featured version for mobile devices."

More UiPath Platform cons

Pricing and Cost Advice

"It is one of the most affordable RPA solutions, and as for licensing, they offer a community edition that greatly helps anyone who aspires to learn about the product before buying the enterprise solution."

"I have heard that Automation Anywhere is expensive."

"In terms of pricing, it's not at all cheap, and that's a concern. The licensing cost is very high. While I don't know the exact prices of other tools, Microsoft offers the lowest pricing for its RPA platform compared to UiPath and Automation Anywhere."

"It is not too expensive, but there are many tools available in the market that can provide the same functionality at a cheaper price."

"It's very good in terms of cost and pricing."

"On a yearly basis, our licensing costs are about $80,000. There are no additional costs beyond the standard licensing fees."

"I feel the cost of licensing is very high for the A2019 version."

"I believe it is $10,000 for Bot Creator."

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."

"The product is available at the lowest price."

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

"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."

"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 pricing is okay, but I recommend to build a business case before going live. Ensure that you really use the license and building the robot makes sense. Try to think of multiple use cases, because one license can be used for several robots."

"UiPath changed the way that they do licensing, starting in 2022. Any partner that has status with them is now allowed to sell licenses, because UiPath itself does not sell licenses anymore."

"Our licensing is generally pretty good for our contract."

"It is not oversold. It does do what it was advertised to do."

"The price for the attended bot is between $1,800 and $3,000. The unattended bot was $8,000 last year. Orchestrator is around $20,000."

"Costing and licensing were generally in line with expectations of this type of software."

"UiPath has more costly licenses than Automation Anywhere and, of course, Power Automate."

"It is the most user-friendly RPA platform, but it is also the most expensive RPA platform."
