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.

Significantly reduces manual effort and improves team workflows through automated ticketing
We've used Agent Builder, IXP, and Maestro for orchestration. We have created context-grounded searches or chatbots using context grounding, and we also use context grounding within an Agentic flow where a bot or agent reads ServiceNow tickets to determine whether it has been assigned to the right work group. If it has not been assigned correctly due to human error, it automatically reassigns it to the right group. I would assess Agentic AI's ability to extract data points as effective. We created an agent for the purpose of extracting data, though not in a document. We created what we call an email conversation agent that engages with a customer, vendor, or someone in an email conversation with a set goal of extracting specific data points for an action to be performed subsequently. The one automation we have deployed in production involves the agent interacting with team members to collect data points and create a ServiceNow ticket. We appreciate almost all features of UiPath Platform, with one of the most successful ones being the use of Coms Mining. Most of the new features related to AI have all been good, and we use Agentic. We have already created a few agents and have started to use Maestro for a few flows, though we are not yet there to orchestrate an end-to-end workflow. We have good ROI from the automations we have developed with UiPath Platform, which far exceeds the investment in the platform. It has saved us tens of thousands of hours in manual effort, making the team members happy to pursue other things of value.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"We are getting massive efficiencies across our back office, internally."
"Compared to other tools like NICE and Blue Prism, Automation Anywhere is the only tool that gets your work completed in half the time."
"Automation Anywhere has positively impacted my organization by providing a lot of hours and dollars saved for many business teams across the company, and it helps spark ideas for people to look at their own business processes and learn how to automate them from end to end."
"The marketing automation software provides easy workflow creation and management."
"The ease of use and its ability to change the code when something in the main process or core process changes. The ease of use is really good."
"Automation Anywhere is a great tool."
"From a technical perspective, developers can easily create bots and get things done with this tool."
"For me, the best feature of Automation Anywhere is that it is totally cloud-based. We do not need to set up anything in VMs or other machines. It can directly work on the cloud."
"The initial setup was easy and straightforward."
"If we want to change your processes, we can code it from scratch, making it a beneficial feature of the product."
"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."
"Stability-wise, I rate the solution a nine out of ten...I rate the technical support of the solution a nine out of ten."
"The support from the vendor is very good."
"The most valuable feature of AutomationEdge is creating accounts."
"It is a valuable tool for developing efficient solutions, especially in finance and banking."
"The ability to automate our processes with external plug-ins and zero code is the most valuable feature."
"UiPath is user-friendly."
"UiPath's OCR enables data processing of handwriting, which in turn allows us to automate elements of the billing process from incoming customer checks, which is a fantastic feature for us."
"Implementing AI in our automation has significantly enhanced the accuracy of our operations."
"The user interface is simple and allows people to learn from it faster than other applications."
"UiPath's most valuable feature is Insights, which provides invaluable data on time savings and AI model performance."
"As soon as you can, do it. You're not going to believe how well the automation will save you time, your company time, and even quality issues."
"Over the three years, we have implemented 35 bots and are saving about 24,000 resource hours annually, and that does not even include the revenue that it has also probably helped generate."
"It is easy to use as drag-and-drop features are present."
 

Cons

"It would be useful to have some updates for the control room in terms of analytics."
"Most of the time, I find that our internal team finds the solution; the support team isn't able to provide a perfect solution."
"The feature, which might be interesting for companies that don't already have an identity management system, was a bit tricky because I would have preferred the system to directly rely on our corporate identity and access management system to manage the bot's credentials."
"I would like to use VB.NET native code inside of Automation Anywhere."
"Migration is probably our biggest challenge. When we were trying to do the migration to the new version, it was a little bit painful. We didn't have that many bots, and I can't imagine the level of effort that some of the bigger customers have to put in for that. The product is stable, but moving from one release to the other was the issue."
"I had an issue lasting for the better part of three years, and it was quite severe."
"Automation Anywhere should make it easier for developers to manage queues and exception handling. The OCR component could also be better. We have had to use other OCR tools to get information from the account documents."
"For my organization specifically, the challenge is with Automation Anywhere upgradation. We have more than 100 bots that were developed five years ago."
"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 price of the solution could be improved."
"With the solution, customizing software can be time-consuming."
"While I find AutomationEdge generally stable, I believe that stability needs to be improved a little."
"We cannot use extra modules while working with AutomationEdge. It crashes if we have lots of data to process in Excel."
"The installation process could improve. It was difficult to complete."
"It's not an intuitive tool."
"In the future, they should have a similar version for the cloud and on-premises, and the installation should be flawless within few minutes."
"UiPath updates its software every year. The problem is the support for the old code. For example, right now I'm using the 2021 10.3 version. If I have developed a code three years back and I want to update the packages, it won't work as expected."
"There's room for enhancement, particularly in the support department and in the area of reporting, to provide a more robust product for gathering insights."
"UiPath needs to incorporate French and Portuguese language-based training. It is not easy for people without an IT background."
"It interacts with so many products that the robot itself becomes unstable."
"They should give the flexibility to customers to reduce the number of licenses. UiPath does not want you to reduce the number of licenses. It is not easy to reduce the number of licenses even though there is a provision to do that. It would be good to give flexibility to customers to upscale and downscale whenever they want."
"I would like UiPath to have a build-in method which informs the robot's process owner how it has managed its transactions and performed through the night."
"It depends on your expectation. If people have expectations that API technology is very easy to implement, it's not 100% true."
"Between version 19 and version 20, the orchestrator tool interface has changed a lot. It totally changed. The menu changed, the place of the button changed. It took me a week to understand and to make myself used to this new interface."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Overall, the pricing of Automation Anywhere is good."
"We were required to purchase licenses and bot runners, which determined the permissible run times for the bots."
"When you compare the cost of Automation Anywhere with UiPath and Blue Prism, those others are much less. Licensing-wise, UiPath wins the deal."
"Although the initial implementation cost of Automation Anywhere is relatively high compared to other options, its annual subscription cost is lower than UiPath's, which has the opposite pricing structure."
"I am not involved in the pricing, but based on what I hear from our central RPA team, it is not very expensive; it is also not cheap. Its price is in the midrange."
"We're paying a monthly subscription fee for the bot and for services. There are no additional costs beyond the standard licensing fee."
"Its cost is good."
"Our advice is that anybody interested in this product should negotiate product bundles in order to reduce the cost of installation and setup."
"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."
"The product is available at the lowest price."
"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."
"The licensing for this solution should have a more competitive pricing model. The price is in the top five of similar products."
"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 way that the licensing is structured is confusing for some because there is different licensing if you're on the cloud versus if you're on-prem. There are unattended licences and then there are non-production licences and people get confused by that."
"With respect to the cost, you're going to recognize the savings immediately for the cost of the tool."
"Initially, the pricing was a lot more affordable. Now, it seems a bit excessive."
"The main reason we went ahead with UiPath was the pricing... the pricing of the paid version was not that high. It's low- to mid-level pricing."
"The pricing is very expensive, making it challenging to continue using UiPath when competitors like Microsoft offer cheaper alternatives like Power Automate. Why continue to use UiPath when you're paying three to five times more?"
"There are three leaders in the market: UiPath, Automation Anywhere, and Blue Prism. UiPath is in-between the two. BluePrism is on the higher end when it comes to pricing. Automation Anywhere is on the lower side when it comes to pricing."
"UiPath might be a little pricey for some small businesses. When we were getting started, we had a difficult time deciding to go for it because of the pricing. Our company wasn't generating as much revenue, so it was a little high for our budget then. We can handle it today."
"Overall, the model is fine except for AI units. It is usage-based, which makes sense if you are processing documents, and you have one unit per page. It is the hosting cost of the models where there are issues, so we are running into potentially designing poor solutions because we are having to say, "If the documents are very similar but different enough, even though you would prefer to use two models, maybe consider not using two because of the hosting costs.""
