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.

Helps to move away from manual tasks and offers wide platform support and web-based interface
Customers want to move away from manual monitoring and checking processes. Automating these processes helps in time-saving and reduces human error. When you automate business processes, it reduces mistakes. It eliminates the risk of manual errors such as typos. There is a 20% to 30% reduction in human error. It fulfills all the needs when it comes to visibility and control across various operating platforms. It is the perfect product for managing processes that span multiple operating platforms. Automic Automation has the widest platform support compared to other products, such as Control-M, Tivoli from IBM, or Stonebranch. It definitely helps with compliance processes. We have had a lot of customers for two years with a focus on compliance, and it works. They were successful. Due to the fact that our customers can automate a lot of things, it reduces operating costs. It is hard to give a number because the savings are different for each customer. If a customer never had any automation, there could be about 80% savings after implementing Automic Automation, whereas for a customer who already has automated tasks, the difference will be less by adding Automic Automation. They might see 5% to 10% more savings. Automic Automation helps improve our ability to meet SLAs. In the recent versions, SLA management has been integrated, which previously was an external component. Because a lot of customers used it and asked Broadcom to implement SLA management into the workload engine, Broadcom included it. We see more and more customers running their SLA management via the Automic Automation product.

Automation has reduced CRM workload and now streamlines multi‑agent customer operations
The best feature that Microsoft Copilot Studio offers is its security and compliance. The security and compliance features stand out for me because my data resides in the Microsoft ecosystem, so while agent creation produces output from Claude, GPT, and other sources, my data remains within the Microsoft ecosystem. Microsoft Copilot Studio's governance and security are excellent. In terms of accuracy and reliability of output, Microsoft Copilot Studio is excellent.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"Simple processes such as tracking, logging, and data consolidation are now automated, which helps us focus more on doing tasks that are impactful and more important."
"The most valuable feature is the object cloning."
"I would rate Automation Anywhere a ten out of ten."
"The simplicity of the tool is a plus point, as it does not require one to be from coding background to work on it."
"I would rate this solution a ten out of ten."
"Bot creation is a cool feature. It allows the developer to do complex things."
"The time savings are valuable."
"The built-in features, such as the connector builder and AI development tools, are easily accessible, keeping the software up-to-date."
"The night processing helps to have data just-in-time for the morning."
"The most valuable features are that a lot systems are supported. You can use this for z/OS, Windows, Unix, SAP, etc."
"Integration with most of the platforms that we have within the company's Windows, Linux, and Unix. Integrating these inside the automation agent for scheduling, backups, file transfer, and SAP jobs."
"Number one, A+, is the scripting language, and the ability to go in, and take an already robust, consistent, strong tool, and turn it into an incredibly scalable, flexible tool, that you can literally do anything you want to with."
"We automate very manual, robust tasks, which are very time consuming and not error-free."
"The most valuable feature is the flexibility of the tool."
"It has improved the way my organization functions, in terms of efficiency, time, and costs."
"The user interface is very simple and straightforward."
"Microsoft Copilot Studio has helped enhance my development process quite a lot."
"Microsoft Copilot Studio positively impacts my organization by reducing resources, allowing us to use a single Microsoft Copilot Studio agent instead of ten staff members."
"The integration part in Microsoft Copilot Studio is something I really appreciate because it's very easy to integrate with anything, and the main reason we chose this Studio is its simplicity in developing and building workflows and interconnecting things, especially when it comes to public cloud; life is quite easy."
"We have achieved approximately 60 to 70% productivity gain using Microsoft Copilot Studio."
"Starting with Microsoft Copilot Studio for product projects, especially for POC and MVP, accelerates the creation and demonstration to clients, helping them interact with and understand the solution before discussing further improvements."
"The use case involves intelligent code assistance, UI, UX, and integration parts."
 

Cons

"Having fewer connection instances would make it more secure, more simple to troubleshoot, and possibly more flexible with the type of applications in use."
"We do not have the AI Agent Studio feature of Automation Anywhere available yet in our government GCC environment."
"The IQ Bot could use improvement."
"We could use more accuracy with IQ Bot."
"Automation Anywhere has to be integrated with machine learning and AI systems to read images and videos, then put the information into another format."
"The Automation Anywhere calibrating needs to be more user-friendly to avoid human error."
"The initial setup was a bit difficult and took more time than expected."
"When they develop the product, they don't always provide all the necessary details that a customer needs to implement the product."
"Some of the things we don't do are mainly because we don't know how to do them. Hands-on training can be expensive, so we find other ways to work around things to forgo the hands-on training. It is also an issue because we are a Linux shop and most trainers are Windows-based."
"In case we run into performance issues, it is sometimes hard to find out what is the real cause for it."
"Documentation is not great. It was previously much better."
"The workflows should be clearer and more expressive. I need this going forward."
"There are too many bugs to be solved after a version upgrade. We are working on the limits of an architecture with 16,000 platforms. It is impossible to test everything out in the software lab of CA."
"The scalability is limited by the SQL in the background, and that is a problem."
"I would also like to see a little bit more connectivity, more, "Play nice with other toys." For instance, we have IServ as our primary tool for our service request tickets. In order for it to play nice with Automic, we had to actually create a file and put it somewhere, where Automic can see it. I would like to see more connectivity with other tools, or more compatibility with other tools."
"During installation, some database elective issues popped up. These took some time to fix, but after some back and forth communication, these issues were resolved."
"While Microsoft Copilot Studio can create documents and add information, it does not do so accurately, and this is an area that needs improvement."
"Microsoft Copilot Studio sometimes gets stuck after going into longer sessions, which should be addressed by Microsoft."
"I feel that the pricing and licensing methods of Microsoft Copilot Studio are not very conducive."
"For analytics, I prefer using the Power BI platform instead of Microsoft Copilot Studio."
"The price for Microsoft Copilot Studio can definitely be improved, as small organizations find it very difficult to manage the subscription."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The pricing and licensing are definitely moderate to costly but easily recoverable by achieving ROI quickly."
"The cost can be reduced a little for users."
"We are interested in saving manual engineer man-hours. So far, we have saved $100,000."
"Our annual licensing costs are around $100,000 a year."
"AA comes at a more affordable price than the other tools."
"It is cost-efficient in terms of licensing. I found their support good when I was working for the airline client. However, I hear from my managers here that the support price for Tier 3 or premium is a little higher. That is why we are not going for Automation Anywhere. Its price was okay for our client, but for us, it seems expensive."
"Automation Anywhere's price is considerably better than UiPath's."
"Licensing for Automation Anywhere (AA) is paid on a yearly basis. Out of all the RPA tools, it has the most value for money, e.g. what you pay is what you get."
"Automic Automation is costly."
"The cost of the solution depends on the number of systems that are being orchestrated."
"There are different licensing fees for cases where high availability is important."
"We receive time efficiency from this product."
"The cost of arrays is high. If you want to buy an array for an application, and see value from it, you need about half a million dollars. That is too expensive."
"This is a support system for us, not our core business, so we purchased this product inexpensively."
"Automic Automation's pricing is excellent, especially in comparison to similar solutions."
"We have received a lot of time and cost efficiencies from using the product."
