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

"We have a close relationship with our account manager and technical support. This relationship makes the difference."

"You do not need to have IT skills. I come from a finance background, so I can attest to the fact that you do not need IT skills to use Automation Anywhere to leverage it on your teams."

"As we were closing our fiscal year, we had this huge backlog that we needed to clean up. The business was preparing to hire 12 people to do that, and even though they were not sure they could handle it, we built the process to extract and do the entire process just in two weeks. We were able with a single person to clean the entire backlog, which gave us huge benefits."

"Even a non-IT or business user can just look at the bot language and understand what the bot is doing, and that's the easy part."

"We have more than 50 bots in the company, the FTE and ROI are very good, and in the future we have many projects in pipeline that we are about to implement, so definitely there is a good ROI and FTE savings for us."

"I find Automation Anywhere (AA) to be really fast on the development side."

"The ease of use of getting started is probably the big thing. They had a lot of references that we were able to check. It is a well-known player, and being able to get up and running quickly was the big thing."

"We've saved a lot of time. How much time we save depends on the process. It's likely at least 50%. Sometimes, it's up to 70%."

More Automation Anywhere pros

"The dashboards are quite good, especially on the latest versions."

"The entire backend system structure is something that I found really valuable."

"What I like most about BotFarm is that it's one of the leading RPA products in the market, and very few products focus on robotics today, so I like that BotFarm offers a lot in terms of what general customers expect it to do."

"Their development interface is very easy to navigate."

"The solution is very stable. We don't have issues with bugs or glitches."

"They recently released the newest version that has a good program flow, quality, and blueprints that are all good improvements to the automation, and they also have good integration with SAP."

"BotFarm by Automation Anywhere is great for building bots."

"Last year I faced a problem and, subsequently, raised a ticket, and the support team is great and they helped me to resolve the issue within three or four days."

More BotFarm pros

"Errors have reduced by 80 percent based on the processes that we have automated by the sheer fact that we don't have people touching so many of them."

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

"We have been using Kryon Process Discovery for about a year now. With our initial tests and monitoring just a couple people, we were able to identify 79 possible use cases within a one-month period."

"For the processes that we have automated, the efficiency has increased by 100 percent."

"We use Kryon Studio to develop new wizards and we use the features to capture elements from the screen and automate processes... The screen capture allows us to interface with systems which don't have an API, or where the API is very expensive, and it allows us to do on-screen integration."

"The friendliness of the software is good because people without any technical background can start off on it. This solution makes it easy for us to use it, as there is no learning curve. With no learning curve, the development time turnaround decreases."

"All our users have no technical background. But Kryon is really simple and intuitive. Our business adapted very quickly and easily. This is the main thing and it's why we love the system so much. It's why we are always trying to put more processes into the system and make more use cases: because of the simplicity and the intuitive nature of the system."

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

More Nintex RPA pros

Cons

"We would like Automation Anywhere to have a way to run a capacity check on machines and show us what is available."

"There are a lot of issues in the tool. There are a lot of breakdowns."

"The marketing for Automation Anywhere has room for improvement."

"MetaBot helps getting data from SAP, but we still have some cases where we cannot fetch data from SAP."

"I would like to see more bots available right out-of-the-box in the SAP area."

"I am not technically inclined, and it involves many steps for a process to function properly. It requires a lot of work initially to design and develop a process. I find it somewhat challenging. If you take time to understand it, it's not too difficult, but it seems complicated at the beginning if you're not a technical person."

"We had initial hiccups, like any new process. It took us six to eight months to sort the product out."

"One of the things that we did was purchase the solution originally through IBM, as they had an value-added layer on top of it. Once we had another group come on, they purchased additional bots directly from Automation Anywhere, and they wouldn't integrate well. We had to uninstall the solution that we had purchased from IBM and reinstall those bots to move forward."

More Automation Anywhere cons

"I would definitely be wanting to see OCR features for improving the solution."

"The CL command poses an issue during the process of data conversion, accuracy, data loss and the assessment of certain data as false."

"An area for improvement in BotFarm is that the communication between the Control Room and the Bot Client Missions isn't utilized well."

"BotFarm newer version has been difficult to install, we have been in contact with the support on this matter."

"An area for improvement in BotFarm is that the communication between the Control Room and the Bot Client Missions isn't utilized well. There's also the issue with PCI DSS compliance or certain regulations that require a set of configurations that are not fully supported by BotFarm. The product should be certified or designed according to the required regulations in the finance industry to make it better."

"Its UI could be made better. It should also be more flexible. Currently, it is more rigid, and a little more flexibility is required. Their technical support should also be better. We are not very happy with their technical support. Its price is also quite high as of now. They should improve its price. Its setup should also be made easier. It is quite complex to set it up. Even though we were able to set it up a little fast because we had done something similar earlier, but it has a very complex setup. It is extremely resource-hungry. If they can make it a little light on resources, that would also be useful."

"The solution automation is incapable of interacting with our Pega software application development. It is based on the nested table concept and it is unable to read these tables. Several projects have been put on hold because of that."

"I have called customer service three times and the experience has not been good. They do not offer 24/7 support, which forces us to wait till the next working day to solve a problem."

More BotFarm cons

"Kryon could be easier to use, especially in comparison to UiPath."

"We need stronger governance to know, when a transaction is done, whether it worked or failed; strong logging. That would be helpful."

"It could be more reliable in spying HTML."

"The product requires some more time in development. It still has some bugs and some things to work out. They're constantly releasing. They need to continue working out the general issues of using the product at scale, first and foremost."

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

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

"Often, it's difficult to loop through a large data set unless the bot has access to the Excel file with specific settings and shortcodes."

"Kryon RPA need to enhance the robustness of our multi-board architecture to ensure the availability of bots on multiple machines."

More Nintex RPA cons

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The cost is anywhere between $10,000 and $100,000."

"We are restricted to use one license on one PC. However, if my license is not working, I want to be able to use it somewhere else. This would be a nice improvement to the licensing, as other competitors in the market have better licensing terms."

"My only suggestion in terms of pricing is very generic and that is to consider that as much as RPA saves cost and does automation, please get a realistic estimation done on whether you are really achieving any ROI over your investment with RPA."

"With the rebate processing automation that we did, it has provided us a savings of around an hour or two a person on a daily basis, which is quite a lot of savings."

"Annual licensing costs would be about $100,000."

"It is cost-efficient in terms of licensing. I found their support good when I was working for the airline client. However, I hear from my managers here that the support price for Tier 3 or premium is a little higher. That is why we are not going for Automation Anywhere. Its price was okay for our client, but for us, it seems expensive."

"It is expensive. Automation Anywhere has reduced the price slightly, as we have grown. However, the price is still excessive enough that we are engaged in PoCs on other tools."

"Automation Anywhere's pricing falls within the mid-range, but the long-term benefits outweigh the initial investment."

More Automation Anywhere pricing and cost advice

"It is too expensive and not worth the price."

"Automation Anywhere is more reasonable than Blue Prism and UiPath in terms of cost."

"We are on an annual license for the solution and is priced well."

"The pricing model could be simplified."

"Pricing for this solution can be better."

"The product is slightly expensive"

"Licenses are paid on a yearly basis and the cost is quite high."

"Our licensing costs are approximately $3,000 USD annually."

More BotFarm pricing and cost advice

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

"We're paying in the neighborhood of about $66,000 a year. The cost is fairly similar to its competitors' costs. It might have been a little bit more reasonable than the others, and that cost was with Process Discovery in addition."

"It is very cheap. I would rate the pricing a three out of ten, with ten being expensive."

"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."

"Licensing costs are about $100,000 a year without any additional costs."

"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."

"The product has reasonable pricing."

"Compared to its competitors, Kryon RPA's pricing is very competitive."
