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.

Manager Rpa at a retailer with 10,001+ employees
Significantly reduces manual effort and improves team workflows through automated ticketing
We've used Agent Builder, IXP, and Maestro for orchestration. We have created context-grounded searches or chatbots using context grounding, and we also use context grounding within an Agentic flow where a bot or agent reads ServiceNow tickets to determine whether it has been assigned to the right work group. If it has not been assigned correctly due to human error, it automatically reassigns it to the right group. I would assess Agentic AI's ability to extract data points as effective. We created an agent for the purpose of extracting data, though not in a document. We created what we call an email conversation agent that engages with a customer, vendor, or someone in an email conversation with a set goal of extracting specific data points for an action to be performed subsequently. The one automation we have deployed in production involves the agent interacting with team members to collect data points and create a ServiceNow ticket. We appreciate almost all features of UiPath Platform, with one of the most successful ones being the use of Coms Mining. Most of the new features related to AI have all been good, and we use Agentic. We have already created a few agents and have started to use Maestro for a few flows, though we are not yet there to orchestrate an end-to-end workflow. We have good ROI from the automations we have developed with UiPath Platform, which far exceeds the investment in the platform. It has saved us tens of thousands of hours in manual effort, making the team members happy to pursue other things of value.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"It is a great product."
"We used to do many daily routine checks and jobs. We have implemented the automation knowledge which resulted in good productivity, time-saving, and extra efforts being reduced."
"The tool is very easy to use and mostly user-friendly. I like that when using it I don't need much expertise."
"It has drag-and-drop features, which makes it very fast for us to gather the required data."
"Automation Anywhere has helped us with efficiency and accuracy."
"Our experience with technical support at Automation Anywhere has been great. They have been very helpful, especially during the PoC, processes which are sort of early on in their sales cycle, or when we were just starting with Automation Anywhere a couple of years ago. We got great support for getting it onboarded in-house and getting our team up to speed. So, we have found it to be a great partnership."
"Co-Pilot is a valuable feature."
"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."
"BotFarm is an easy solution to use and the interface is better than older versions."
"The solution reduces manual data errors and improves data accuracy"
"Productivity increased far more than thirty percent."
"Overall, this is a pretty good product and nobody else in the market is providing RPA at this level."
"The solution is easy to use and easy to apply."
"The solution is very manageable."
"The web interface that was introduced in the recent version helps because you are not dependent on any particular system."
"From a solution standpoint, screen capture and tight integration with Outlook are valuable features."
"Something that takes 15 minutes in UiPath would take one day in most of the other options."
"There is a good support network. Their response time is good. They will find a solution within two days."
"We have been able to do our work in a more timely fashion, more accurately, and it opens up other paths of customer use cases which will enable us to expand our business as well."
"Customer service is the best."
"The UiPath community has been great. There are a lot of great mentorships, a lot of forums, and a lot of people who are very interested in growing the community. It's been very nice to work with them. Anybody who is in UiPath has been an amazing partner for us."
"Maestro enables business teams to wireframe their process ahead of the development teams, which cuts down on the overall speed to develop because our longest part of our process is our discovery process, which takes six weeks sometimes."
"The time to market with the features of UiPath Platform, to be able to quickly spin up a POC and then put that in production within weeks to months versus sometimes years is significant. It is a much quicker process."
"For some complex automations, we can integrate with VBScript and Python scripts if necessary, however, initial automation does not require in-depth programming knowledge."
 

Cons

"They should do more on the cognitive side. If they can keep adding more features, that would be their greatest advantage."
"The technical support has been a little slow to respond to our inquiries."
"There should be a way to avoid recoding everything whenever there's an upgrade to the latest version."
"The product is not totally stable."
"Providing a desktop version rather than focusing on the cloud is essential. Only UiPath offers a studio environment for desktop application development."
"I would like them to add OCR features. This would help us deal with unstructured data and we can get more data out of images."
"We had a few setbacks because of bots getting queued and unable to force delete a task bot which kept persisting in the control room. These features should be included in future releases which will be highly beneficial."
"I would like to see more bots available right out-of-the-box in the SAP area. For example, if you take the overall OTC in our organization, we have to contact 15 teams. Even if we provide one big bot for the OTC, it won't work. It will not be used by one person. So if there could be more specific bots out-of-the-box, that would be really 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 image processing capabilities definitely need to be improved."
"The OCR command needs to improve. This feature is used to convert the extracted data from an image file. While converting this file I was facing a lot of issues with the data because it was getting lost and some of the data which was extracted was mismatched. The data loss was rated as a nine and the data accuracy was a massive decrease and was up to 80%."
"It would be ideal if the solution offered more language options, such as Arabic."
"The discovery suite that they just acquired could be included."
"We do have some troubles with the internal software commands, but we have been troubleshooting this bug to fix it."
"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."
"From the holistic standpoint of the product offering, there are a lot of things that need to be done."
"To be more cost-effective since Orchestrator is costly for mid-level markets and poor countries."
"The only reason that it wouldn't be a ten out of ten right now is that they don't always identify my needs before I identify them to get their help."
"The stability is not that good yet for whatever reasons. We have a lot of safety critical things that have to be 99.999% availability, so we're struggling a little bit with those."
"When I first started using this solution, the OCR technology was not that good, but it has since improved."
"The dashboard view could be more visually appealing. Dashboards in any software should stand out with colors, numbers, and other things, but in UiPath, the dashboard is not that visually appealing. The UiPath team could make it more visually appealing for us to get more insights."
"I am looking forward to new cognitive and artificial intelligence capabilities."
"Overall, at this point, the AI models and machine learning models are not very accurate."
"Going forward, I would like to see more stability in the robots. When I create a robot, then I want it to work for quite some period of time. I've had some situations, where things will update, change, and the robot is broken. Part of this is making a more stable implementation easier."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"They all are very competitive today. At the end of the day, it boils down to the negotiations that happen and what type of partner you are."
"We are interested in saving manual engineer man-hours. So far, we have saved $100,000."
"The control room access gives the ability to create different roles, which helps when purchasing additional licensing."
"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."
"We have seen about a 10 percent monetary savings."
"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."
"Automation Anywhere might have a higher upfront cost than some competitors, but its extensive features and seamless integration with other tools can save organizations money in the long run."
"It is reasonable and affordable. If you consider the tasks that we can get done using this, the pricing is reasonable and affordable."
"The pricing model could be simplified."
"There is a license for this solution and it is on an annual basis. I am satisfied with the price."
"Pricing for this solution can be better."
"Licenses are paid on a yearly basis and the cost is quite high."
"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."
"I think payment can vary but it's a re-occurring fee that needs to be paid every year."
"It is too expensive and not worth the price."
"The product is slightly expensive"
"The pricing depends on whether you're running attended or unattended bots. Unattended processes cost a lot more, and you have to pay cloud costs, too. It's costly. The licensing for the tenant dashboard, developer's toolkit, etc. was reasonable, but unattended bots are quite expensive."
"Its cost is a bit on the higher side. We are not very happy with their pricing. Most of the UiPath products are priced higher than competitors."
"UiPath pricing is average."
"I don't know the cost. Maybe $25,000 for the year. I would definitely say it's worth the money."
"If you want to start doing RPA, I think you should definitely go with UiPath because it has the Community edition. You can just install it and check whether or not your process works fine with UiPath. It will be an attended bot, but you can form an idea whether your bot can easily be automated."
"It is cost-effective and has an affordable price."
"UiPath is quite expensive and whatever additional components you want to use will have additional costs."
"UiPath is priced to accommodate large enterprises, but it is expensive for small and medium-sized enterprises."
