Review summaries and opinions

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

ROI

Sentiment score
6.6
Automation Anywhere enhances ROI by reducing costs, improving efficiency, and delivering rapid results in less than a year.
Sentiment score
5.8
Bizagi boosts efficiency and ROI, with automation cutting costs, enhancing timelines, and prompting free-to-enterprise upgrade interest.
Sentiment score
6.4
Mendix's low-code platform accelerates development, reduces costs, and enhances productivity, offering significant ROI and efficiency over traditional methods.
In terms of cost, we participated in projects achieving two to three million dollars in annual savings.
Software Developer at Boston Scientific
As a return on investment, we have achieved a 250% ROI in six to nine months, and sometimes it increases up to 380% percent.
Software Engineer Intern at a university with 11-50 employees
Automation Anywhere has helped us save money.
RPA Solution Architect at a computer software company with 51-200 employees
Traditional applications tend to have larger sizes and higher deployment costs, whereas with Mendix, the time of delivering applications, manageability, and smaller team sizes are significantly lower.
Senior Software Developer at RapidData
It's not that they're really firing that personnel, but they can often focus on the core that really matters instead of repetitive processes in Excel forms and all of the overhead and human error that comes with that.
CTO at Blue Green Solutions
Since Mendix is a low-code platform, the ROI is significant; we save a lot of money and require fewer people to do an application, reduced to two, which drastically decreases development time because this is not traditional programming; just drag and drop, and we can complete projects that would take years within months.

Room For Improvement

Automation Anywhere's complexity, cost, and technical demands challenge non-tech users, requiring improved support and ease for smaller firms.
Bizagi needs performance improvements, better cloud integration, intuitive design, and enhanced support, with high costs and limited Linux compatibility.
Mendix needs improved integration, documentation, design, language support, pricing, stability, native mobile development, and easier automated testing.
It is better to write a Python script instead of using Automation Anywhere's package when dealing with Excel because it is buggy and tends to break.
Low Code Developer at a manufacturing company with 10,001+ employees
Making the product more lightweight by reducing its dependency on infrastructure could greatly help in the long run.
Software Developer at Boston Scientific
It would be beneficial if the platform provided options for power developers to integrate seamlessly with languages like Java or C#, allowing them to write their own scripts and code.
Rpa Infrastructure Lead at a tech vendor with 10,001+ employees
Reporting capabilities can be improved more, and community support should be increased.

Access to the database is limited in Mendix's public cloud, preventing direct database interaction or inspection.
Mendix developer at a tech vendor with 10,001+ employees
I choose a seven mainly due to the issues we've faced with slowdowns and bugs during development, while runtime has been very stable.
CTO at Blue Green Solutions
Native development is not very strong, and some developer tools are missing, such as shortcuts to edit multiple variables.

Setup Cost

Automation Anywhere's pricing is seen as expensive for small businesses but justified by features for larger organizations.
Enterprise users find Bizagi's pricing mixed, valuing flexibility yet desiring a mid-range option between free and enterprise.
Mendix's pricing is steep for smaller businesses, though it offers flexibility and efficiency for large enterprises.
It is more cost-efficient compared to all other RPA platforms.

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.

Has helped me create clean and structured process maps with a simple setup experience
I have not explored ways Bizagi can be improved beyond creating maps. If I explore automation and integration with other processes, then I may be able to identify potential areas for improvement. I would appreciate additional features for the free version. Currently, the elements in a process map are limited to activities, decisions, flows, and start/end points. The decision map could be improved to allow more than three options at a decision point.
Mitchel Mol BGS - PeerSpot reviewer
CTO at Blue Green Solutions
Has improved development quality and speed but has introduced persistent IDE slowdowns
In recent years, the IDE has been more buggy and slower, and although there have been more features added, I would like to see more stability, as some areas that used to work for a fairly long time are now slower in my development, which feels like a step back. I choose a seven mainly due to the issues we've faced with slowdowns and bugs during development, while runtime has been very stable, and the overall output on Mendix platform is still good; there is definitely some room for improvement, and I would probably have given it an eight or even a nine if those issues weren't hurting my developer output for the past few years. Overall, Mendix platform is stable, but the IDE could be better.
