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.

Automates browsing tasks without needing a server connection

I have worked with Microsoft Power Platform and UiPath. Kofax RPA offers a comprehensive solution with built-in capabilities for executing tasks like running Excel files and web automation without additional servers. They provide their browsers and extensions. For functions such as OCR, image processing, and data extraction, Kofax has built-in features powered by their engine, eliminating the need for subscriptions to external technologies like Microsoft Cognitive Services or Google Search. One of Kofax RPA's strongest features is its on-premise solution, which is particularly beneficial for organizations operating in regions with data regulations, such as the UAE.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"Automation Anywhere's most valuable features include generative AI, similar to Copilot, which will significantly benefit developers; low-code or no-code technology; and document automation capable of extracting data from structured and unstructured PDF formats, presenting it clearly and easy to follow."

"Other products are more low-code, whereas Automation Anywhere is no-code making it easier to learn and user-friendly."

"In Automation Anywhere we liked the drag-and-drop and easily stitching the recording of mouse control and keyboard controls."

"In Automation Anywhere, I appreciate the main UIs very much; they are very intuitive."

"It's really easy to use. We have a number of people at our firm who are now certified RPA developers that had no development background. They did that just by the online training in some cases. In some cases, it was the online training, as well as a three day class that we brought in-house and had taught."

"Automation Anywhere has saved us a lot of time, money & efforts by automating our ServiceNow tickets."

"The scheduling feature allows for scheduling of the bots to a specific time every day, which helped remove the dependency on humans completely."

"It's easy to use for business users. Everything is good. It's a nice product."

More Automation Anywhere pros

"The solution has very good processes. It's very easy to deploy and has good reviews on it. It offers good automation and the solution has very good developers working on it."

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

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

"One of the most valuable features is the solution's simple automation regarding object cloning and strings variables."

"The most valuable features of this solution are the Excel automation and support for SharePoint."

"The system is stable and very little maintenance is required, assuming the bots process is perfectly designed."

"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 solution reduces manual data errors and improves data accuracy"

More BotFarm pros

"The OCR was quite stable and flexible."

"The flexibility to use already-developed components is really good. You can use it for Excel-related operations and other things."

"It's a good product."

"If you don't have a computer science background, you can easily use Tungsten RPA because this is a low-code platform and it is easier than other RPA tools."

"The product saves time and resources."

"The pricing of the solution is quite good."

"Initially, the most effective features for process automation were website automation related to web auditing, SharePoint implementations, and automated management of information."

"The product provided all the security controls that we asked them."

More Tungsten RPA pros

Cons

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

"We don't have an ROI in any of our processes. We are just trying it out now to see if it works. We haven't had any savings yet. We have been putting more time in than saving time at this point."

"We have used the technical support. I am quite unhappy with the support part. The higher priority tickets are not getting resolved within the SLA. Higher priority tickets for production issues should be looked into immediately. However, until they get escalated, tickets are not receiving higher priority. I would like to see this improve."

"These guys need to build a good team."

"Automation Anywhere has a persistent click-related issue that can make automation difficult, particularly in unattended environments."

"The data migration could be better."

"The main disadvantage of Automation Anywhere is its high cost."

"The IQ Bots have a lot of room for improvement in terms of accuracy level. We need to improvise a lot. I'm facing another big challenge with one of the use cases. We raised a ticket and did multiple follow-ups with support, but the accuracy still isn't up to the mark."

More Automation Anywhere cons

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

"When somebody is just learning this product it can be difficult for them to understand, so improvements to the user interface would be helpful."

"The only challenge that we have faced with BotFarm is that there is no continuous deployment. The whole world is moving to the DevOps model, but BotFarm is still not on the DevOps model. It should have integration with the DevOps model. The migration of the bots or bots pipeline is currently purely manual."

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

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

"The new version is not very stable. Sometimes I can't use the recording sound."

"One aspect that can be improved is the accessibility of reusable components for developers. It relates to role-based access and accessibility."

"The solution can improve the accuracy of hand-written data reading"

More BotFarm cons

"Concatenation of error messages."

"Kofax RPA needs to improve integration with SAP and Microsoft. The professional services offered by the tool's team is below par. Its licensing needs to be more modular."

"The interface could be better from a usability standpoint."

"RPA technology is constantly changing, and sometimes Kofax lags behind."

"Kofax RPA's UI could be more user-friendly."

"This product has room for improvement in support of aviation. The interface could be improved in the next release."

"There is really nothing special about the capabilities of this product."

"The HR and IT areas of the product need to be improved."

More Tungsten RPA cons

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Cost is the biggest area in need of improvement for Automation Anywhere. Annually it's $250,000. That's what deterred us right away."

"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."

"I don't agree with the IQ Bot licensing costs, which depends on the consumption of the document rather than per bot or user. This is confusing for me, because most of the cases for us in a possible future scenario, there would be a lot of invalid data to be scanned to get to real data. E.g., we would have to supply approximately 100 pages of scanned data to extract two pages of original data. In these type of cases, the IQ Bot might be a costly venture."

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

"If it is saving FTE and Generating a good ROI then it is Worth Investing."

"Licensing for Automation Anywhere (AA) is paid on a yearly basis. Out of all the RPA tools, it has the most value for money, e.g. what you pay is what you get."

"One of the key features that we chose, the bot as a service or the BotFarm, when they launched version 11.3, they decided not to have the BotFarm anymore. This put us in a situation because we expected to have bots on demand, just like our cloud software. This would have been cost efficient for us to use. We hope to see this again being realized with A2019. I hope the scalability from an on demand basis improves."

"Pricing is affordable and I would recommend beginning with the Starter Package."

More Automation Anywhere pricing and cost advice

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

"Pricing for this solution can be better."

"The starter price is free."

"The license of this solution is on an annual basis. The price is fair. However, what we did initially was a POC, but now we are looking at moving from a POC to expanding it out further. I would appreciate some kind of discount."

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

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

"I am very happy with the pricing."

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

More BotFarm pricing and cost advice

"Kofax RPA is moderately priced but expensive in comparison to UiPath and Power Automate."

"The normal price for an on-premises license is €50,000. That's the price for one robot license. You can have more than one robot license but only one can be run at any one time. I believe the cost of adding a second robot is around €14,000."

"Kofax RPA's licensing costs are yearly and expensive."

"Kofax's prices are pretty reasonable."

"Its pricing is reasonable given the product capabilities. Kofax has a wide range of products, and it can sometimes be confusing to understand which capabilities come with which product set. One of the key facets that we've been looking into recently is cognitive document recognition that was a core pile of some of their other technologies such as Kofax transformation modules (KTM)."

"I don't have complete insight at this point in time, but I would guess that Kofax is a lot less expensive than Automation Anywhere. I would expect its license to be on a yearly basis."

"The solution’s license is not expensive."

"There is a standard license needed to use Kofax RPA and the price is reasonable."
