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.

The solution is stable and has good support, but is expensive
Betty Blocks, when I started with it, was similar to a back-end platform with the ability to have a standardized back-office UI out of the box, which is perfect for a lot of situations. For more customer-facing UIs, we had to create the front end ourselves, building endpoints with HTML and JavaScript. Then Betty Blocks started in 2018 with the page builder. This allowed us to create drag-and-drop interfaces. That was quite cumbersome. Now Betty Blocks is entering a new generation of it - next generation forms - which should be a lot better. The most valuable feature is the back end. The way we can create action flows for things such as sending emails, creating PDF reports, or connecting to web services is very complete. I never experience a lack of functionality in it. The standardized back-office UI is said to be deprecated over time, which is a shame, because it is a real time-saver and is one of their strong points, only if it was kept up-to-date.

Intuitive toolset engages users effectively in agile projects
I would recommend Bizagi depending on the maturity of the organization. For those just starting, it's a good tool to get into business modeling. In more mature environments, I might not pick this toolset because it doesn't integrate with live systems well. Overall, I would rate Bizagi between eight to nine.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"My company uses AA extensively for internal BPO work as well as we refer and deploy it to the customer as a RPaaS model, helping increase productivity, reduce overall operational costs, and deliver fewer errors while proving to be a reliable workhorse during the COVID situation."
"We have seen a positive return on investment with Automation Anywhere mainly through the time saving and reducing manual efforts."
"In some of our use cases, people were spending more than three hours per day just generating reports, and then we created an automation for this and it reduced the time to 30 minutes."
"We offer them a cost and time-effective solution for repeated and time-consuming processes, which surely help a lot in terms of improving quality."
"My experience with the deployment of Automation Anywhere was good. I have no complaints there. It was very straightforward."
"TestingAnywhere is a scriptless automation tool which is easy to learn and implement, with many effective features such as creating test cases using web recording, object recording, image recognition, Smart recording, or an editor."
"For most of the cases that we have worked on, the application has been stable."
"With RPA, specifically with Automation Anywhere, it has really helped us engage with those clients and achieve the results that they want."
"All these components are separately tuneable, which makes it a very strong platform, and we believe that this should be considered in the enterprise market."
"The most valuable feature is the back end."
"Rapid development and overall functionalities are decent."
"I would recommend this solution because it's easy to use and very quick to install."
"Bizagi is really helpful for us to justify a process improvement initiative because we can simulate a to-be process and see how much we can save time, save resources, and how a to-be or a new process can run in the correct logic based on BPMN modeling."
"Bizagi is flexible, I can share things with other consultants because it is the most commonly used software in my community, and it has been a great and good resource for us in making sure that we adhere to the process."
"I find Bizagi so user friendly. I also think that its modeling abilities are great and it's easy to teach them to new users."
"Bizagi is a great tool for creating, testing, and documenting process diagrams."
"Its cost is the most valuable; it is not as expensive, and it is also easy to make different types of processes for the users."
"The basic mapping feature is key for me; it's fantastic, it's easy to use and it's free."
 

Cons

"They do not include the basic functionality of column headers in Excel worksheets. This is missing, and we need it."
"With the user interface, a lot of the parts of it I really like, but there are some things that could be made a little simpler. A little less clicking around here and dragging over there to use."
"We would like to see more options for merging and un-merging PDFs. More flexibility there would be good. We've figured out ways around this and, using their software, we've been able to do everything we wanted to do. It just took a bit more time to do it. We were on version 10.5 and in their Bot Store they actually had a bot that did exactly what we wanted to do, but it was for Version 11.0."
"It takes a lot of time to deploy, and sometimes it fails after a timeout."
"From an IT perspective, we had too many issues and headaches."
"There are some business areas for which this tool is not capable of doing, such as in the areas of graphically-based input."
"The IQ Bots have a lot of room for improvement in terms of accuracy level. We need to improvise a lot. I'm facing another big challenge with one of the use cases. We raised a ticket and did multiple follow-ups with support, but the accuracy still isn't up to the mark."
"Because I am using an older version, I am rating the scalability as a seven out of 10. I feel a lack of convenience when I try to scale it."
"What I find lacking in the software is its ability to query the database."
"I would like to see full integration with AI."
"In many cases, they make choices where flexibility is a little bit degraded, but if you leave everything open and the flexibility is great then the usability is a little bit less."
"The data in Excel that comes out after running the simulation is a bit complicated sometimes to interpret."
"In business process mapping, you have pools and dark pools. I don't see that Bizagi differentiates between a regular pool and a dark pool."
"One part of the university has changed its regular desktops to Linux. This is a weak point because Bizagi doesn't run on Linux. I would like the opportunity to run the software inside of Linux."
"When you start working with information modeling, et cetera, here is no really good solution for the data modeling and information modeling."
"The open source version lacks the option to publish."
"One of the features which could be improved is machine learning. Even though this product has been working on this topic, we can see that it still requires improvement."
"As I worked with the desktop version of the Bizagi modeler, I was not so comfortable."
"There is lots of instability with V 11.1. We are suspecting configuration management problems on the Bizagi side."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The price is a little bit high but the support is good."
"Our company is investing a lot of money in Automation Anywhere. They have saved money wherever humans are working. They invest a lot of money in FTEs and other logistics, so the money saving is very pretty good with Automation Anywhere. While I don't know the exact figure, the tool is saving us millions of dollars as well as saving about 40,000 hours in the last year."
"As far as costs, it depends on your use. We started with a basic department pack, which is over 10K. The additional costs depend on the scale of the engagement and how it pans out. We customize to our needs on the go."
"There is an annual license to use the solution."
"Its usage is expensive for us because my user base is mostly in Manila and KL. The unit cost of labor is cheaper there than in the U.S. or Australia, which puts a bit more stress on how to get a positive ROI while continuing to use it."
"The setup cost for this is onetime and licensing is based on your choice of product."
"Pricing is affordable and I would recommend beginning with the Starter Package."
"Pricing is too high for small-scale groups. The Control Room yearly fee is high, making it difficult to break even."
"The pricing is quite high, but the pricing is also not very transparent."
"The pricing structure that we have been working with was based on a number of blocks."
"The modeler itself is free. For the whole BPM suite, there are other options that may be better."
"The paid version costs us about $20,000 for 100 users annually."
"When we were working with the on-premises solution, the licenses were a little bit expensive because we had to buy one by one a package of a hundred licenses, whereas now, we are working with the cloud solution, and it has a different cost. It's a different business model because we pay the license for the developers, but the cost is by the environment, and we have unlimited licenses. The business model is different now, but the benefit ratio is good."
"It is on par with other BPM tools, but not as expensive as Pega nor Appian."
"My company uses the free version of the product."
"If they can freeze the pricing in a contract, I advise them to do so."
"The product must improve its cost."
"Pricing is good value for money."
