Venkat Sivaprakash

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 streamlined client data extraction and has improved reporting for business decisions

I work as a developer, and my manager is responsible for the research and analytics for the project with the client and business users. I am satisfied with BotFarm. I would rate my experience with BotFarm an eight out of ten. I do not see any room for improvement for BotFarm. I am using AI tools such as Amazon, Microsoft Azure, and ChatGPT. I am not using AI-powered bots in BotFarm. I am a partner with Automation Anywhere.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"Object cloning is one of the main features that are using. We are very happy with it. as It has enabled us to capture a lot of things on screen and use them."

"Automation Anywhere is stable, scalable, and easy to use."

"The most valuable features for us are the Image Recognition and Object Cloning. We used this feature to automate our web-based tasks with repetitive actions or complex conditions. These features are very easy to use and do not require you to have deep knowledge in programming to understand since it has a drop and drag feature used to control it."

"The most valuable feature is its easy to use."

"Automation Anywhere is a very good tool because it helps you along the process."

"Automation Anywhere's support has been great since we signed up for gold support last year."

"The features of Automation Anywhere are quite impressive; one aspect I particularly appreciate is the integration of AI, which has reached a mature level in its capability for agentic processes, greatly enhancing product usability and enabling adaptation to complex use cases."

"Now, with the help of Automation Anywhere Bot it's being handle automatically, and work that would take one week is now being completed within an hour."

More Automation Anywhere pros

"The most valuable feature is the rapid deployment of multiple bots."

"The initial setup is pretty straightforward."

"BotFarm has been working perfectly fine with our business model. Its scalability is the most valuable feature. We can easily scale out bots on a need basis. Portability is another valuable feature. We work with different payment systems like Visa and MasterCard and have bots for them. Because of BotFarm, we are able to reuse these bots."

"The record option and the OCR technology have been great."

"The solution is great to automate any repetitive tasks, which you might do on a daily basis."

"Now, we have standardized responses, and our customers are getting better, error-free, and on-time responses."

"It is easy to use and very stable. It is a rugged product, and it doesn't break so easily."

"The solution has been very user-friendly."

More BotFarm pros

"I like Kryon RPA's ability to use automated and manual processes with any bot."

"By the end of this year we will have returned the investment, and we will start gaining more."

"While we have only explored the simple use cases so far, Nintex RPA has good integration capabilities, such as working well with Gmail and Outlook to automate document handling and notifications."

"In the last month, we achieved 11,000 activities done by robot, before Kryon we did 500 each month."

"We use PowerBuilder as our application building codex. Kryon adds flexibility when we have the functionality of SQL, where we can take sets of data out of the back-end and run complex computations or do a bunch of data validations inside the wizard. It can save us sometimes dozens of steps, then if we were to try and do those same reviews using the user interface completely. The balance that we get from using Kryon RPA, alongside being able to screen scrape and frequent screen, gives us an advantage that we haven't had previously with any of our other attempts at robotic process automation."

"The most valuable features for our organization are the automatic processes which save main power in the back office."

"Kryon RPA is very stable - we've not had many disruptions, and the product is updated regularly."

"Operational efficiency has increased more than 50 to 60 percent."

More Nintex RPA pros

Cons

"Our users would like more online community forums where they can exchange information. I would also like a better way to monitor and manage all the automations we have running within our systems because our CoE governance must be robust so we are always aware of what's happening."

"In the next release of this solution, I would like to see a plug-and-play tool for NLP programming."

"The OCR can be a little better because sometimes while scrapping, it leads to data loss."

"I would like better support. The technical support is mediocre. The support is sometimes really good, and sometimes it is really bad."

"Automation Anywhere has some limitation with its integrations. You can build your logic with MetaBots and .NET components, e.g., if something is not gathered by Automation Anywhere or built into functionality, you can write a MetaBot. A MetaBot is like an external component. You can write it through C# or .NET code, and make a DLL, and import it. This is not open to all data types or EXE functionalities which can be written through C#. You have to define your variable types, matching them with Automation Anywhere existing variable types. Because of the knowledge required, I cannot let another person, who doesn't know Automation Anywhere, build my external DLL code."

"In the Microsoft Excel features, it needs a command to wait for a calculation to complete."

"Automation Anywhere can improve by implementing a Citrix environment and increasing the stability of tools, such as IQ bot."

"Cost is the biggest area in need of improvement for Automation Anywhere. Annually it's $250,000."

More Automation Anywhere cons

"The community forums can be improved a little bit because they have mixed solutions or discussions with respect to some ideas."

"The OCR tool, the optical character recognition tool, could be more efficient."

"The implementation isn't straightforward. It's a bit complex in terms of deployment as there are a lot of settings you need to handle."

"The solution doesn't have support like they used to. They need support. We have personnel of our own, but sometimes we need assistance beyond our own team."

"The only challenge that we have faced with BotFarm is that there is no continuous deployment."

"We do have some troubles with the internal software commands, but we have been troubleshooting this bug to fix it."

"The deployment could be made a little bit easier."

"The licensing schemes could be more competitive. They need to be much more flexible in their pricing."

More BotFarm cons

"I would improve the object recognition features, making it not linked to the screen resolution or the position."

"Extracting meaningful data requires significant effort. You need a dedicated business analyst who can understand the output."

"When a project is very big, a lot of memory is taken up."

"The only unstable part is Studio where you build this stuff. In our version, the 5.25. It has a memory leak. If you leave it open for too long, eventually it just freezes. Saving your work, closing, and opening it just once a day is all it takes. However, this is a bug that I have noticed about the stability of the actual tool."

"At first, we had problems with the object detection but in this latest release it has been better, and I think it keeps getting better."

"Further simplifying the low-code development process can attract a broader user base by making automation accessible to those with minimal technical skills."

"There isn't any additional feature I'd like added to Kryon RPA because it's a good service, but the support is very, very bad, so that area could be improved."

"There could be some features to fix compatibility issues with firmware."

More Nintex RPA cons

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Talk to your manager and try to procure an automation license for training. This will allow you to train people, so you can move to automation."

"Because it reduced the time duration of our processes, our costs went down."

"I am not involved in the pricing, but based on what I hear from our central RPA team, it is not very expensive; it is also not cheap. Its price is in the midrange."

"The cost is affordable, which makes an easy barrier to entry for the RPA market."

"It saves on the quality of work, because the quality can be bad when somebody's doing it. If a bot does the work, it's faster and comes with good quality. These are two important things along with the cost saving in the long run. That's where the value is."

"On average, a bot runner in Automation Anywhere can cost $5,000, while in Microsoft Power Automate, you can get most of the same functionality for $100."

"The cost of this solution is a little bit high, but it is worth the price."

"It looks like it will be right around $115,000, not counting IQ Bot, which we won't renew until later."

More Automation Anywhere pricing and cost advice

"There is a license for this solution and it is on an annual basis. I am satisfied with the price."

"I think payment can vary but it's a re-occurring fee that needs to be paid every year."

"Pricing for this solution can be better."

"The pricing is fair."

"The product is slightly expensive"

"We pay approximately $15,000 USD per year."

"The licensing is on a monthly basis."

"Its price is quite high as compared to other solutions, but it has a lot of features and good stability. They should reduce its price."

More BotFarm pricing and cost advice

"Can't beat the price... There are different pricing levels for every bot or unattended bot. You can buy however many you want. You'll need an additional virtual machine for it to work on."

"We are probably saving $6000 to $8000 a month in labor costs. It's not a ton, but we're right around $60,000 to $80,000 a year with our current deployment."

"We've more than broken even over on the license. Year to date, we are at $120,000 in savings."

"We have a yearly license. It's about $5,000 per year."

"In addition to the standard licensing costs, there are manpower costs."

"We have been able to alleviate two FTEs, which was a big savings for us. We were able to reuse those resources in other locations. It is over 5000 hours a year in total savings."

"The product has reasonable pricing."

"They license per robot and we have 25 robots. You get so many robot licenses and can allocate those licenses to either attended, unintended, or Process Discovery bots. If you have 25 licenses, for example, you could have 20 automation bots and five process discovery. This allocation is flexible. There are also maintenance costs."
