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.

"It helps to improve and optimize processes. It eliminates some of the manual tasks, so we can save costs."

"We are measuring ROI through quality: Reducing errors, saving time, and saving money."

"Now, with the help of Automation Anywhere Bot it's being handle automatically, and work that would take one week is now being completed within an hour."

"Web-based control is the most valuable feature. We can access it from anywhere in the world with the control room URL and in any browser. Bot Insights make our report generation and other insights view easier. We can export the data in the form of CSV, PDF, etc."

"We have used document processing from the beginning. We have a few use cases running in production, processing thousands of documents. With the success rate of more than 80%, it's efficiently extracting data for us."

More Automation Anywhere pros

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

"The support from the vendor is very good."

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

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

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

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

"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."

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

More AutomationEdge pros

"UiPath takes the complexity out of automation by using a low-code approach."

"Combined, we save over half a million hours annually in manual processing time, which is crucial as 2,000 hours saved equate to one full-time employee."

"Overall, about 25% of our cost has been saved."

More UiPath Platform pros

Cons

"The AISense recorder in Automation Anywhere needs improvement in resilience and OCR capabilities, particularly in comparison to UiPath's superior OCR functionality."

"I would like to see them continue building out documentation with more video-aides."

"Going on-cloud comes with security hiccups and concerns."

"Cloud API vision and OCR engine integration should be more effective."

"If you want to use Chrome then there are three or four additional steps that need to be completed."

"Automation Anywhere is not as flexible as Process Studio."

"The data migration could be better."

"I think it is a little bit of an ongoing struggle, because we don't deal with the infrastructure. We have a separate infrastructure team that sorts all that out. So, sometimes there are communication issues just trying to get our internal IT team onboard to run through the installs and that sort of thing. But, definitely with the new cloud version coming onboard, we'll be looking toward going to that. Hopefully it'll resolve some of that friction that comes about through the install process and complexity."

More Automation Anywhere cons

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

"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."

"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."

"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."

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

More AutomationEdge cons

"Licensing in UiPath is a bit confusing. They are already working on that, however, from my perspective, it is what I feel least safe discussing because the product changes two or three times a year."

"The licensing is a headache. Luckily, I don't have to deal with it directly."

"UiPath's pricing could be improved. The margins for us as a bottom-level tier partner are not great, which can be a hindrance, particularly when we present it to the customer. Other than that, I don't have any areas of improvement at the moment due to our limited experience. Maybe after six months to a year, we might have more feedback."

"We are new to the tool. Currently, we do not have any cons. There is still a lot left for us to explore. We have heard of a lot of features at the conference today, and we will certainly build upon that. As we are exploring, some of the improvements could be in the pipeline within Automation Hub and insights, but so far, we have had a great experience with UiPath."

"To improve UiPath Platform, I think being able to use our own local models is crucial because we are a business that is quite sensitive and holds a lot of sensitive information, so being able to use our own models to ensure that data doesn't get used for training is ideal for us."

"My overall experience using UiPath Platform's Agentic Automation capabilities is a mix; it was not the best when compared to other tools in the market."

"The reporting task needs improvement. The reporting is boring."

"UiPath should be less sensitive to changes in the existing UI of the system we are trying to manipulate. If it was more intelligent in adapting to changes in the user interface and the tools we are trying to manipulate, it would be beneficial."

More UiPath Platform cons

Pricing and Cost Advice

"If I compare it with Blue Prism, Automation Anywhere is cheaper. Blue Prism is very costly. Automation Anywhere's pricing follows the market, not less and not more."

"It costs up to $1,200 per license."

"Their licensing processes are in par with most industry standards."

"In most of the cases, the product value is very good. If the infrastructure, implementation, and framework are good, then generally, the client can get a good return on investment."

"The licensing needs to be made simpler or shortened."

"Our annual licensing costs are around $100,000 a year."

"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."

"Time and monetary savings can range from 20 to 90 percent."

More Automation Anywhere pricing and cost advice

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

"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 product is available at the lowest price."

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

"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."

"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 price of Orchestrator is pretty high in general as well as compared to other solutions, because Automation Anywhere does not charge for its Control Room."

"From what I know, UiPath's licensing has a reasonable cost."

"The downside of UiPath is always the price because it's the most expensive platform. However, it is the fastest and most reliable."

"The licensing fees for this solution are $8,000 USD annually."

"The pricing is very good. The license does not have to be in a bundle, like in other competitor products. You only have to purchase at least 10 from the beginning, for one year."

"Whether UiPath has reasonable or expensive pricing depends on the scale of your organization. It could be pricey for startups, but the pricing would be okay if you belong to at least a mid-level organization."

"It would be nice if you could just buy the product instead of having the annual rate license renewals. It's expensive, but I guess we'll have to see what the ROI truly is."

"It is expensive for our country."
