Nadeem K.

Rpa Developer at a consultancy with 11-50 employees

Automation has freed teams from repetitive finance and supply tasks and supports global operations

In the current organization, we had trouble initially because I think the documentation and support could be better than what it is now. This is one difference between Automation Anywhere and other RPA tools such as UiPath. In UiPath, if you have an issue, you go to the UiPath website and search for it, and you get lots of help materials. In Automation Anywhere, you do not get exactly what you are looking for. You get a very large number of results when you search for something, and from this large result set, you have to filter out what you need, or only partial information will be available. User handbooks are available for each product. In that regard, I would say Automation Anywhere is lagging compared to other RPA tools. It is difficult to get hold of their customer support team. I want to clarify that it is not a matter of us building logic on Automation Anywhere and it failing. When it is a product-related issue, they have to give us support because we only know how to develop within Automation Anywhere. We do not know how to fix Automation Anywhere itself. Whenever we have an issue, trying to get in touch with them always takes three to four business days.

Senior Rpa Consultant at a computer software company with 51-200 employees

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.

RPA Technical Solution Lead at Infomentum

Helps automate processes but needs to offer different licensing models to users

Right now, I am not working on process mining at the minute. Before I switched to the company, I worked extremely closely with the process mining tool from UiPath, SAP BTP, and the process mining that they had created. I am working with MuleSoft Automation and Anypoint. We are not doing any sort of process mining at the minute, but in my company, because MuleSoft is one of the only RPA tools that we are looking at, we have another application called Appian that we are trying to explore now. Appian has process mining capability, which is why we thought we would look at it along with AI capabilities.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"I'd say there are new useful features that will definitely help us as we do more development in the near future."

"Its ease of use is the most valuable feature. It is easy to train developers and find the right people, then use them to build the tool."

"We have been with Automation Anywhere as their platinum partners, and for us, the first and foremost recommendation to any customer is Automation Anywhere, which is true from the price perspective, feature perspective, and support perspective."

"It has absolutely been worth it for us and has provided us with good value."

"The Automation Anywhere University is a good tool. It goes topic-by-topic with real-time examples."

"Most of the features of Automation Anywhere (AA) are good, but one big feature which I really like is its OCR (optical character recognition) feature."

"One of the most valuable features is the different possibilities it gives you to manipulate the interface screens that you're working with."

"I like Automation Anywhere's cloud-based nature. You don't need any on-prem infrastructure to host it."

More Automation Anywhere pros

"Overall, this is a pretty good product and nobody else in the market is providing RPA at this level."

"The best aspect is the UI, as it is very user-friendly."

"The most valuable feature of BotFarm is the fact that we can use escalations when we need more computer power to fulfill all embargo that we receive in one day."

"We use this solution for automating the gathering of information from 15 disparate applications, with several bots in customer service and finance to increase efficiency and reduce manual work in different areas."

"There is at least a five or ten times reduction in the amount of time, and more people are free to do something else."

"The initial setup is straightforward."

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

"The product has increased efficiency and reduced the time spent on tasks."

More BotFarm pros

"Contextor is a good solution for a Citrix environment."

"The standout features of SAP Intelligent RPA are its flexibility and integration capabilities."

"It is a stable solution...It is a scalable solution."

"It is remarkably easy to configure and code, and it doesn't require an extensive technical background or coding expertise."

"SAP Contextor has improved our organization by giving us better operational efficiency."

"Contextor is a good solution for a Citrix environment. It's the first with this tool. Other tools provide the same functionality, but not with the Citrix environment."

"The initial setup of SAP Contextor is easy."

"The most valuable feature of SAP Contextor is that everyone is in one place in the program that I need."

More SAP Intelligent RPA pros

Cons

"Their bot runners could be made to handle multiple payloads at the same time because if I want to run multiple parallel operations, the number of bot runners that I have to buy just keeps increasing. It is adding to the cost. However, there is a possibility that we don't need that many bot runners, and we can run multiple operations in a bot runner. This would be a great addition to have."

"They should do more on the cognitive side. If they can keep adding more features, that would be their greatest advantage."

"We have a lot of use cases that depend on certain Java applets, and currently we're not able to leverage the Object Cloning that would speed up our automation designing. So we have to revert to more image recognition-type of designing, and it just takes a long time to get that bot built."

"The scripting can be a bit difficult."

"Most clients use systems which use old Java versions, trying to automate on these systems is really difficult since most features/commands are not supported."

"For order processing, I would say that it is not very much time-saving because it is also taking time to extract and process, but it is giving us freedom in that the people who are doing the repetitive task are not doing that repetitive task now, and they are doing something else, maybe validation or something more productive."

"Automation Anywhere could improve by incorporating better integration with DevOps."

"We have explored the AI Agent Studio in our automation process, and we have done some POCs with a couple of use cases that created value for us. However, we have encountered some technical challenges, which is why we haven't proceeded with production yet."

More Automation Anywhere cons

"The deployment could be simplified."

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

"The dashboard needs improvement. For Bot Farm, the visualization is not that good compared to the main Automation Anywhere dashboard."

"Scalability is an area of improvement. We can increase the main features for our project but when we reached out to our personnel and asked whether Bot can be expanded, we were told "You cannot scale this Bot."

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

"Although I like the OCR technology, it could still be further improved."

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

"Normally we need to monitor the solution using an AWS console and the control room. We would like to have a standardized dashboard to see all the information in one place."

More BotFarm cons

"One way SAP Intelligent RPA could improve is by integrating built-in DI services for document processing."

"I would like to see a better capacity for unstructured data, for example, PDF, or text within images."

"I found that the SAP scripting of a program is easier than SAP Contextor."

"The support is expensive."

"The initial setup is of medium complexity. It is neither too hard nor too simple. You need some background in SAP and an understanding of it."

"The tool's licensing has been kind of a challenge...At the moment, the tool does not offer different licensing models to users."

"SAP Contextor could improve by automating some processes."

"There should be more of an error, like a proper error feature, in future releases. Sometimes, we don't understand why that automation is not learning what, like, where it is stuck, or what is the reason like, or what is the criteria we are missing to add. So a proper error message would be helpful."

More SAP Intelligent RPA cons

Pricing and Cost Advice

"We save 34,000 hours of time per year and have recouped up to $6000 in lost revenue."

"The price of Automation Anywhere is a little higher than some of the competition, such as UiPath. However, depending on the use case and other factors we are able to receive some discounts."

"If I compare it with Blue Prism, Automation Anywhere is cheaper. Blue Prism is very costly. Automation Anywhere's pricing follows the market, not less and not more."

"One of the things that will be good for the community will be to get the free version to download, which came out just a month ago called Community Edition. So, you can actually download it and try it for yourself."

"IQ Bots are very costly. It's not a sustainable bot for us as of now. We will look for better, alternate options for that."

"The cost for scalability is much cheaper than developing a new system."

"The pricing is reasonable and one can achieve ROI faster when compared to other tools."

"It is somewhere in the middle. The price and value of Automation Anywhere are better than UiPath. The pricing is good globally. It could be a little bit cheaper, but it is good."

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."

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

"An unattended bot license costs around $5,000, whereas an attended bot license costs roughly $1,500."

"The pricing is fair."

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

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

"The pricing model could be simplified."

"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

"The pricing is not that expensive. It is manageable."

"This is not a tool or software with a license as others are. The SaaS model is based on the usage of the tool."

"It all comes with a bundle right now. Having advanced features, it is competitively priced."

"The initial cost might seem higher, but over time, with continued use over five or ten years, the cost tends to decrease, making it a more economical choice."
