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.

Cloud platform orchestrates business processes with AI capabilities

I find the capabilities that a normal orchestrator should have to be valuable in WorkFusion. The WorkFusion 10 cloud-based platform is different from the earlier on-prem version, WorkFusion 9. The platform now includes auto machine learning and AI capabilities. We haven't used these extensively, but they are a nice feature they are working on. The platform remains stable with well-designed processes, despite being a complex and technical tool.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"IQ Bot is something which is going to disrupt the market in the future. We... are particularly impressed with the evolution of IQ Bot and the kind of disruption it is bringing to the OCR space."

"The support team responds quickly."

"We have almost 27 use cases in production and, as of now, we have saved almost eight FTEs per annum."

"I love the Bot Store. I encourage a lot of my staff to use it, because it changes the game and the time that it takes to build automation. It has a lot of reusable things that you can use off the bat."

"I like web automation and SAP application automation."

"The most valuable feature, which was launched last year, is Automation Co-Pilot. Microsoft has a co-pilot, but it's only for Word, Excel, Outlook, and PowerPoint. But Automation Anywhere offers a co-pilot that is suitable for Salesforce, Genesys, Atlassian, and other contact center and standard applications. This is a game-changing feature for Automation Anywhere..."

"I love its reliability, ease of use, and the vast customer support that are always present to help us."

"It extracts what the IQ Bot does, converting it and ensuring the entire process right from the input to the output and is fully automated. It is digitizing a particular process, which is really great."

More Automation Anywhere pros

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

"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 helps us with cost optimization and easy implementation."

"We can quickly adapt to our end users."

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

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

"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."

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

More AutomationEdge pros

"Recently, our recons team was audited, and when the auditing was done, the process done by the reconciliation bot was the only process that was passed by the auditor."

"This product helps us by automating functions in finance, where users are able to have attended bots and save time by handing processes to the bots to run while they continue their own work."

"If it is the first time a customer is a victim of fraud, he gets a refund within 10 to 15 minutes."

"It's a pretty robust product."

"In terms of stability, it's quite good. It's an internal IP product."

"The automations that we built are massively important to us."

"WorkFusion's RPA Express's ability to scale across multiple geographies with limited impact on additional IT Hardware requirements. This has enabled the scaling of Robotics capabilities and solutions across all our entities."

"It really does help by either freeing up people's time to focus on more value-added tasks or reducing headcount. We generally have other things that we can get people to do, helping make the employees' work more meaningful since they are not having to do the mundane stuff."

More WorkFusion pros

Cons

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

"Automation Anywhere has some limitation with its integrations."

"More interactions with PDFs would be great for Automation Anywhere. The ability to use more legacy technology for object cloning, flash plugins, etc. A lot of their Excel commands could use some improvement."

"In Automation Anywhere, the logging process is manual."

"Certain areas of the user interface require improvement."

"Sometimes I get challenges with the customer support team; when I contact them, they are sometimes busy, and I get delays in replies."

"If I build a bot today and don't use it, however, in several months, someone tries to use it, there's a 30-40% change the bot will fail in one or two areas."

"We had had issues with scalability. Recently, we had a use case which we were working on, but we could not do it because Automation Anywhere could not connect to the system."

More Automation Anywhere cons

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

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

"There is significant room for improvement."

"The price of the solution could be improved."

"It's not an intuitive tool."

"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."

"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 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."

More AutomationEdge cons

"The upgrade process is a nightmare."

"The product could do more to expand its 'codeless' coding options by adding drag-and-drop assistance in building bots for non-technical users."

"I would like it if they provided a more detailed roadmap in terms of where they are going with the product. As we are trying to make decisions about the things that we are going to do to try to augment our capabilities, we could know whether they are thinking about the same things or not."

"For me, where it can be improved is the speed. I built two bots, one with WorkFusion and the same thing with Python; my feeling was that the speed at which Python did things, how fast it did them, was quite cool, it was faster."

"It is complex for enterprise implementation. The solution needs a needs minimum, of 20-22 servers. It's no small task. This is not a straightforward setup. It's a large undertaking and there are many moving parts."

"If we're talking from a developer perspective, the task of actually building automation is not ideal. That's not their strong side."

"We are having some database issues, but we are addressing them."

"I would also like for it to be NLP-based."

More WorkFusion cons

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Automation Anywhere offers a subscription-based licensing model for cloud, on-premises, and hybrid deployments."

"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."

"We have a few licenses. They cost roughly $10,000 each."

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

"Costs savings have been seen by employing bots for multiple shifts instead of people."

"The product’s pricing is reasonable."

"It looks like it will be right around $115,000, not counting IQ Bot, which we won't renew until later."

"We save 34,000 hours of time per year and have recouped up to $6000 in lost revenue."

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."

"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."

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

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

"The pricing is fair because WorkFusion's out-of-the-box solution is appealing."

"It is not the most expensive solution, but it is also not the cheapest."

"We have a good deal from WorkFusion. We have an unlimited global licensing deal with WorkFusion. For us, it is a no-worry solution. We can go ahead and use it as much as possible anywhere we need it. If WorkFusion has a different kind of a deal for licensing with others, then their business decisions need to be evaluated based on that."

"In addition to the licensing fee, there is also an implementation cost for each use case and technical support costs."

"We are on an annual contract to use the solution."

"My client is using RPA Express, which is available for them to use free of charge."

"Find it online."

"I can't speak to pricing. It's a contract signed by upper management."
