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.

Automation has delivered secure banking workflows and handles complex client applications efficiently

If we are talking about how Blue Prism has impacted the accuracy and speed of data processing in my tasks compared to UiPath, it is better than UiPath. There is no doubt about it. I will definitely recommend Blue Prism to other users and companies because, as I mentioned, when comparing UiPath and Blue Prism, I find that UiPath offers multiple online training opportunities. Compared to Blue Prism, I see that all the training materials, small videos, and diplomas are more readily available in UiPath, but I do not think everything is as accessible in Blue Prism. My overall rating for Blue Prism is ten out of ten because I worked almost five years in Blue Prism and my experience has been good.

Senior Director at a tech services company with 51-200 employees

Stable with good cross-integration between modules, but the training needs to be improved

We mainly use UiPath as our RPA platform. I have looked at several other solutions that include the bigger ones, Blue Prism, and Automation Anywhere. We have experience in developing bots in all three of these. It is difficult to move from UiPath to EdgeVerve when UiPath is so good at getting people in the door. They've got a great ecosystem and a great training model. Every other system is more challenging to use. To get an EdgeVerve license, for example, you need to have an NDA in place to use it. Blue Prism is even worse, although, with them, you just have to pay more money. By not democratizing the software and the way to utilize it, smaller companies like EdgeVerve and even Blue Prism, to a certain extent, have suffered in terms of growth. The three leaders at the top do a pretty good job. Outside of workflow, they do a pretty good job, and that's why the customers buy, so you have to be strong on those. As far as the tools are concerned, RPA is RPA, and everybody generally does it in the same way. What is probably going to start distinguishing between products is the use of AI. When AI really overtakes the selectors for RDA, robotic desktop automation, when you have to really rely on the backdrop of the DOM to get at the element, the use of AI and more efficient on-prem AI solutions is going to really make that a better experience. The on-premises distinction is important because there's latency when you hit the cloud. Ultimately, to me, the toolsets are all the same. Drag and drop, the ability to create custom activities in terms of creating your libraries, and that kind of thing, they're all there. This past year has been ridiculous in terms of how all of the tools have progressed. What they were a year ago versus what they are today, is a considerable and significant difference. For example, I have totally redesigned my solutions and architectures over the past year.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"We have used support a few times for one of our customers, and they respond quickly. If the issue involves a critical production system, they respond to the request on the same day."

"The most valuable feature of Automation Anywhere is the automation that frees up time for our employees to engage with customers."

"When we compare other projects on other platforms versus Automation Anywhere, the technical support we are receiving in terms of efficiency, and even that they are giving us good price, this is what we are looking for."

"All the data that comes in has to be QC'd, and Automation Anywhere helps us by automating the QC part."

"Since it can be utilized 24/7, the ROI is pretty high with minimal efforts and resources by using unattended automation."

"Movement on cloud architecture according to me provided by AA2019, will be most beneficial as it will be easy to use and will provide flexibility."

"This RPA solution really stands out because of its functionality, scalability, and stability. It also offers very good technical support, and is always innovating with new features that speak to various operational use cases."

"The initial deployment of Automation Anywhere is user-friendly, the wizards are self-explanatory, it is a very low-code environment that allows flexibility to explore based on the project's complexity, and overall I believe Automation Anywhere is a very user-friendly tool."

More Automation Anywhere pros

"You can easily see where all your problems lie, in a visual way. It's always nice to have a visual representation of things... Seeing things at one glance makes a lot of difference, instead of having to read through the fine print and see where the issues are."

"By using the automation in Blue Prism, we have reduced the manual activities of somebody reading those emails, figuring out whose account it is, deciding where it should go, and creating the ticket."

"The most valuable feature of Blue Prism is the control and development of the processes from one location."

"The object design way of implementing things actually brings a lot of reusability for us because you can design your objects once and leverage them in multiple automations."

"This API feature, which is available in version 6.4, has made our lives a lot easier compared to version 6.2."

"It has a centrally managed infrastructure, and it is secure. Our client was using it because of its ease of use. They had already identified some workflows that were trained on Blue Prism RPAs. It was much more convenient for them to preselect Blue Prism as compared to other vendors."

"Because developing robots manually took too long, this solution gave us a lot of flexibility when it came to pricing."

"The ease of development is the most valuable. Standard VBOs are pretty useful there with Excel and different things. Our custom developments for SAP and things like that are pretty easy to set up and quick to get going."

More Blue Prism pros

"I would say that the cross-integration between different modules, such as between the OCR, RPA, and ML, is the most valuable feature."

"EdgeVerve is a bit like Appian, where they have full suites that have a great deal of functionality."

Cons

"There should be a meeting between the Automation Anywhere team and the end-users to understand whether the process can be made to work on the first attempt."

"They want to get more accuracy in handwritten forms, which might take some time."

"Automation Anywhere needs to have more testing tools to improve the testing portion of the solution."

"The UI can be improved a little bit to make it easier for beginners to understand."

"We have found that the passwords are not very stable in terms of their accuracy. We could only get 70 percent accuracy in these cases. Our clients require more accurate results. We are working toward this."

"We need a better way of getting upgrades or defect fixes. It is creating problems for us, as we have to go for a completely new version. Maintaining and managing existing bots, then coming up with new ones takes a lot of time. We would rather have a batch fix than an installation to an installation."

"Some of the machine learning (ML) components are still in development. They deployed many of them, but they are doing some improvements on the machine learning part."

"They do not include the basic functionality of column headers in Excel worksheets. This is missing, and we need it."

More Automation Anywhere cons

"I would like to see wider integration with other products."

"We have found it difficult to receive support from Blue Prism."

"Blue Prism features two layers of documentation. If we could make it in one layer, then it would be easy to develop, and it would take less time for developers to complete the task."

"The domain in regards to cognitive abilities and the use of processing activity needs improvement."

"Blue Prism has a long learning curve because the coding is complicated. You need to be a very highly skilled developer."

"One of the things that the developers have said is that it's quite slow, and quite cumbersome when layered over Java-based solutions."

"In the next release of this solution, I would like to see support for attended robots."

"There are a lot of things coming up, such as Discovery Bot and Process Discovery. A lot of other aspects are also maturing. We have definitely started using it for our clients, and it is maturing as a solution, but it is all about how you integrate the enterprise with all the automation projects, such as your chatbot, Conversational AI, and robotics. How they are integrated and talk to each other creates a very good business case with all three aspects. The next level should be about integrating it with other automation tools as well. It can have integration with other tools or automation projects, such as your chatbot, Conversational AI, and robotics."

More Blue Prism cons

"Better training and better accessibility of the tools are the things that need to be improved."

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Pricing is a bit high when compared to other available tools; however, the tool is worth the cost."

"The solution is quite expensive. Not every organization can consider this option."

"The solution itself is free unless we want to add the support option but we have to pay for the bots we use."

"There is an annual license to use the solution."

"The licensing cost could be improved. It costs a lot. At the very least, the developer licenses and the control panels should be made free to enterprises, and the production environment licensed."

"In most of the cases, the product value is very good. If the infrastructure, implementation, and framework are good, then generally, the client can get a good return on investment."

"Our licensing costs are setup on an annual basis."

"I believe it is $10,000 for Bot Creator."

More Automation Anywhere pricing and cost advice

"The tool’s licensing is on a monthly basis."

"The price of Blue Prism is high compared to others solutions. It would be helpful if they could provide a trial version for new users to try. Other vendors provide a community or trial version. There are not any hidden costs."

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

"Blue Prism has a really simple licensing model, where the licenses are not confusing and there are no hidden costs the way there are in UiPath."

"Due to our financial structure, we need fixed costs. So, a license based on the usage would not be feasible. If we have a license model that is based on tasks per year or something else, it could create a very dynamic range of costs. Due to our public financial input, we have to know what it will cost. So, we have licenses per server. This helps us in planning, and we know exactly when we need additional servers. We can then request additional money for them."

"The tool is expensive."

"The solution is expensive."

"The billing is on a yearly basis. They send us the bill every year. My business unit is billed by the technology team, so I don't know exactly how much they pay. In my business unit, we have our first-year license costs, and then we have our ongoing costs. Our bots cost projected per license is $8,600. Our projected support cost for every year is about $38,000. Our operation agent costs anywhere between $50,000 to $55,000, so the saving is there, but it is still kind of expensive for us, but I'm looking at it from the technology kind of billing us for it. This is the cost that we have for our technology team, which is different from the licensing of Blue Prism."
