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.

Cloud & AI Architect at a tech vendor with 10,001+ employees

Automation and AI integration enhance performance and user experience

The improvements or enhancements I would like to see in Blue Prism Cloud revolve around further developing server-client architecture, focusing on centralized control for remote agents. I believe more capabilities in that area could be beneficial. At the moment, I don't recall any specific features or functionalities missing from Blue Prism Cloud that come to mind. In terms of complexity, I find that Blue Prism Cloud is somewhat straightforward to use. Flexibility-wise, it engages well with Microsoft-based technologies. However, there are challenges with OCR capabilities that remain an issue. While there are readily available features that work well, the effectiveness does depend significantly on the type of use case I am implementing.

Senior Lead Developer at a tech services company with 201-500 employees

It's easy to create Python libraries and custom scripts for a particular client and general use cases

We've had conversations with the head of Robocorp over Slack about things we want to improve. We want to introduce some packages, but the authentication tokens and many other things are not there. We can do it in Python, but the custom packages are unavailable. We would also like an integrated PDF reader and better integration with custom solutions. The built-in Excel customization is limited, but we can still accomplish what we want using Python. We must rely on Python to customize processes in Robocorp. I don't know about the latest IDE from Robocorp, but the old one doesn't have a lot of activities. I don't know if they have updated the UI in the latest version, but they could improve that. The UI selector isn't that great. It would be nice to take elements from the console and customize parts. Everything is based on command lines, which I do not like. A flow chart with block items would be good for optimizing code. I would also like more support tools for developers so it's easier to understand when passing code to others.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"Automation Anywhere has improved our company a lot, because we are currently trying to leverage automation in different departments to allow employees to work where more human intervention is needed."

"Recorders and Bot Insights are very valuable features."

"IQ Bot is the most important feature and it has been extensively used by our clients."

"Automation Anywhere drastically reduces manual work for employees."

"We have multiple bots running. It saves time. If manual invoice processing in SAP takes two to three hours on a daily basis, a bot can do the same job in half an hour. We are saving more than 70% of the time."

"Automation Anywhere is definitely scalable in several ways; it's easy and accessible, it's designed the best — almost perfect."

"Automation Anywhere's most valuable features include its end-to-end capabilities within a single platform. It offers desktop automation, unattended automation, a recorder for tasks, and advanced IDP capability, which means that I can handle everything from basic cutting and pasting to advanced use cases. With Automation Anywhere, I don't need multiple other tools to automate end-to-end processes. I only need one additional chatbot tool, assuming conversational AI is part of the solution. If I don't have chatbots, all the capabilities are built into the platform."

"Automation Anywhere is fully configurable."

More Automation Anywhere pros

"The most valuable feature is the ability to write custom code, which makes it more helpful than Automation Anywhere or other RPA tools."

"The user-friendly interface of Blue Prism Cloud has significantly aided my team's ability to design automated processes, allowing them to create agents and deploy them without needing extensive coding knowledge."

"It automates our accounts payable process, requiring no human interaction and saving us a hundred percent of the time."

"Blue Prism is a server-based product that is a more mature and stable product compared to what we were using earlier."

"There is no latency in the product."

"One of the most valuable features is automating manual and repetitive business processes, streamlining operations and reducing manual labour."

"Once it does the monitor, it collects the respective data and creates an output that is required for reconfiguration."

"Blue Prism is well known for being used in banking and security organizations. Its security is superior compared to UiPath and other RPA tools."

More Blue Prism Cloud pros

"The product has a valuable business process automation feature."

"I can use it as a library by importing Python scripts, allowing me to access its many features while working with coding."

"The solution is based on Python which makes it very valuable."

"I have worked with UiPath and Automation Anywhere previously. Robocorp offers an improved development style and support as well as flexibility of its tools. You can easily develop custom libraries in Robocorp."

"Time complexity is reduced and the execution speed is much higher."

"The price is good."

"The process execution and all features are very good."

"Robocorp is based on Python, so you can use Python scripts and create libraries for your use cases. Building libraries and custom scripts for a particular client and general use cases is easy. We can reuse those scripts for other clients, so we start seeing benefits quickly."

More Robocorp pros

Cons

"AI would enable improved automation and faster training times that would be reduced from one month to one week."

"We are at an inflection point where we have automated so much that just keeping the lights on certainly takes 20% to 50% of the time, depending on the time of year. Being able to enable the stakeholders is one of my main focuses. If we are automating their process, I want them to continue owning that as much as possible. We are just expanding on the bot insights. From a security perspective, there have been some challenges for us getting our customers in there from a role-level security perspective and making sure that they have full access to the control room and their automation after it is automated."

"There is room for improvement when this application is used in a Citrix-based environment."

"Automation Anywhere (AA) has a lot of stability issues. It needs a lot of maintenance."

"Automation Anywhere has some limitations."

"We have a few issues which have persisted. These end up restarting the machine. We are hoping in version 11.3 of Automation Anywhere, our compatibility and infrastructure issues will be resolved."

"Several competing products now offer superior functionality compared to Automation Anywhere's current capabilities."

"I would like more integration with Microsoft Excel. More screenshots that can be integrated with Excel would help our customers too."

More Automation Anywhere cons

"Blue Prism could be more efficient in its resource use. Having one LPR agent per virtual machine wastes resources. If we could execute many applications at the same time, it would improve and optimize the resource used."

"Blue Prism Cloud is a solid product that fulfils its intended functions well. Although there is room for improvement, it has integrated various cognitive and intelligent document processing features into a single product. But needs to effectively automate RPA processes despite some initial challenges addressed through product updates and new features."

"The product’s pricing needs improvement."

"I believe they need to become more competitive within the market in order to maintain their market share. We were essentially a Blue Prism shop and sold Blue Prism, but because of the price point, many clients are now looking at competitors."

"Blue Prism should adopt a low-code approach. Most RPA vendors only provide what they call a "form builder." A low-code designer would enable us to build a custom UI."

"Blue Prism Cloud's pricing needs to be improved because it is a little bit more costly than other automation tools like UIPath."

"Improvement should be per customer requirements."

"The issue is that it is not dynamic or intelligent."

More Blue Prism Cloud cons

"The deployment process is complex and not straightforward, especially for legacy modernization."

"They should fully develop Robocorp Studio because it would attract a lot of people to the Robocorp platform."

"We use the latest version of the process studio and it takes up a lot of CPU storage. In our case, this has been up to 14 GB of storage."

"The standard libraries in Robocorp should be more advanced."

"Robocorp is still in development, so most of the keywords are a bit confusing. I have to alter lots of automation steps between processing and development. However, Selenium is due for an update soon, and Robcorp is addressing some of the limitations caused by the previous Selenium version."

"It would be better if it were more user-friendly for non-technical users. It would be better if they had some drag-and-drop features to create logic."

"The solution could be more stable."

"We would also like an integrated PDF reader and better integration with custom solutions. The built-in Excel customization is limited, but we can still accomplish what we want using Python. We must rely on Python to customize processes in Robocorp. I don't know about the latest IDE from Robocorp, but the old one doesn't have a lot of activities."

More Robocorp cons

Pricing and Cost Advice

"It's a bit expensive compared to other RPA tools on the market."

"We were required to purchase licenses and bot runners, which determined the permissible run times for the bots."

"The major reason that we selected Automation Anywhere was the licensing model."

"We have purchased licenses, but are trying to obtain more bot programmer licenses."

"Including the AWS setup and everything per license, it costs us around $10,000 on an annual basis. I believe that is pretty reasonable considering the teams that we have."

"We have saved customers 400% in terms of time saved by implementing this product."

"Roughly, as of today, it is around $250,000 annually."

"They have a ridiculously expensive bot licensing structure, especially for the Asian region."

More Automation Anywhere pricing and cost advice

"Blue Prism Cloud’s pricing is fine for commercial usage."

"The licensing of the solution is on a subscription-based model and costs around 4,999 for one bot's license. If someone wants to increase the number of bots you want from Blue Prism, then they provide a discount."

"I am not sure how we are set up today, but I recall we had an annual License."

"When compared with UiPath, I believe it will be difficult for Blue Prism to maintain its market share."

"It is highly-priced."

"Annual licensing costs were somewhere between $5,000 - $10,000 for the development tool. For the control tower, I think fees were about $50,000 annually."

"There are many RPA solutions available from different vendors and the pricing for Blue Prism is competitive."

"There are costs for the machine to run the robots."

More Blue Prism Cloud pricing and cost advice

"Robocorp is much better in terms of pricing compared to UiPath."

"You don't have to pay for the license. You have to pay for the time you use it."

"The price is cheaper than other competitors. I would rate the cost as one out of five."

"The pricing is fine."

"The product has good pricing."

"The solution is a very affordable price."

"In terms of licenses, there is a return on investment in that area."

"It's a cost-effective solution."
