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

"Overall, based on my experience with Automation Anywhere, I would rate it a nine out of ten."
"We are using all of the features and all are important and valuable but the automation and flexibility are the things which make the product work as a solution for us."
"The digital worker is interesting."
"They have a credential vault, which is 256-bit encrypted. That is the highest security that can be provided when it comes to credential maintenance. With a credential vault, other than the user who is entering the password, no one else knows what the password is."
"Automation Anywhere's error handling is its most valuable feature. It sends you an email when there's an error and helps you find the cause quickly. It walks you through exactly how you should handle it."
"Manual efforts have been reduced and the accuracy has increased. In the processes I have done, the accuracy has reached 100 percent, and manual load and time has been reduced."
"I found that the REST API commands are very useful and easy to use."
"With the help of Bot, it has increased the productivity of the current process and we do not need to spend more time on error resolution and rectification."
"The solution is very stable. We don't have issues with bugs or glitches."
"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."
"There is at least a five or ten times reduction in the amount of time, and more people are free to do something else."
"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."
"The best aspect is the UI, as it is very user-friendly."
"The solution seems to offer high stability. We haven't seen any bugs or glitches. It doesn't crash or freeze."
"The main features of the solution are the IQ Bot and web-based automation."
"The most valuable features of this solution are the Excel automation and support for SharePoint."
"The functionality where you can quickly convert your code from Studio X to Studio is really nice."
"The product helps achieve efficiency that will create ROI and the training and support are very good."
"With the robotics and management of Orchestrator, we are able to kick things off. We are starting to get more out of the scheduling of these and into more on demand triggered events, such as a RESTful service calls and things of that nature."
"Together, the aggregated features add value to the day-to-day operations of the business."
"The UiPath Orchestrator is one source to easily manage all bots."
"It reduces manual effort mostly and has quick automation implementation."
"So far, I highly recommend UiPath."
"My advice to others evaluating the solution would be to compare what UiPath is doing to all its competitors, and none of the competitors would scratch the surface of what the offerings are."
 

Cons

"Automation tools have a lot of dependency on the environment, particularly on machines. Reducing this dependency could increase success."
"There is an issue with security where users can see the values in the credential vault."
"We looked at the Bot Store initially and didn't find much."
"I have experienced the issues of UI getting stuck. There seems to be an issue with server stability. This is something that can be better."
"My biggest suggestion would be to allow us to set up test and development licenses or environments that don't use unattended licenses needed for production."
"I think Automation Anywhere could be improved by addressing the learning curve, as it is a little complex to start using it, especially for people new to automation tools."
"The debugging tools need to be included, for where and why it has failed to execute the bot in a clear manner."
"Productivity increased when we implemented Automation Anywhere, but it did not meet the client's expectations regarding the number of human workers it replaced."
"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%."
"The community forums can be improved a little bit because they have mixed solutions or discussions with respect to some ideas."
"We do have some troubles with the internal software commands, but we have been troubleshooting this bug to fix it."
"The OCR tool, the optical character recognition tool, could be more efficient."
"The licensing schemes could be more competitive. They need to be much more flexible in their pricing."
"The dashboard needs improvement. For Bot Farm, the visualization is not that good compared to the main Automation Anywhere dashboard."
"The solution can improve the accuracy of hand-written data reading"
"The discovery suite that they just acquired could be included."
"One feature I think it needs - from a documentation perspective - is the ability to easily extract variable details and data... Sometimes it's difficult to extract those, and if you're not tracking them while you build, you can quickly get into 200 to 300 variables in use, especially using the RE Framework where you're passing workflow arguments in and out. I would like to see something like that."
"They could provide much more premium, quicker customer service. I'm from India and the customer support team is elsewhere. There's a time difference and, whenever I post a query or ask them for help, the response is delayed."
"UiPath is good in a lot of areas, but as an end user, I feel one thing that can be improved is UiPath Studio. It is an application that we can download to our system and then start building the use cases that we want. Sometimes, it takes a little bit of time to launch, and when we are building a complex application involving a lot of sequential flows, it tends to lag a bit."
"Currently, UiPath doesn't provide automatic notifications for known bugs in new releases."
"UiPath's extensive built-in features, like communication mining, can be overwhelming to learn due to the sheer volume."
"The initial setup was very complex. We had the data, but we had to streamline it. You can build a robot in 30 minutes, but the robot needs to get the data correctly."
"We've tried to use test automation, however, I'm not sure how well it works."
"UiPath Platform could be improved with better UX and design; it should be more self-explanatory how to use its features."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"More than 40 to 50 percent of the IT budget will be for the cost of automation projects in the coming years since these projects enhance operations add value."
"We only deal in annual licenses. There are no pay-as-you-go licenses."
"AA comes at a more affordable price than the other tools."
"Our advice is that anybody interested in this product should negotiate product bundles in order to reduce the cost of installation and setup."
"I would rate the cost an eight out of ten, with ten being the highest cost."
"Pricing is too high for small-scale groups. The Control Room yearly fee is high, making it difficult to break even."
"We brought onshore a lot of what we were doing offshore, saving our company close to $20 million."
"The cost is high for small-scale businesses but it is fine for medium and large enterprises. Its high licensing cost may affect small-scale businesses. Reducing licensing costs would benefit many users."
"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 starter price is free."
"Our licensing costs are approximately $3,000 USD annually."
"I am very happy with the pricing."
"The solution prices are expensive. It would be more beneficial for customers to lower the pricing."
"There is a license for this solution and it is on an annual basis. I am satisfied with the price."
"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."
"The investment is relatively small compared to the potential in qualitative and quantitative benefits that can be achieved."
"At the company that I was with previously, we were paying $3,600 USD per bot. With the new company that I am at, because we're new and we don't have the size, we are paying $8,000 USD per bot."
"Its price is reasonable. UiPath's licensing is not a problem for us because we are a big company, but for small companies that need automation, it is difficult to afford. I am from Sri Lanka, and in our country, SMBs do not invest this amount of money into licensing. For a big company, it is not an issue."
"The pricing is good. They offer a Community edition that we currently use, which is free. Their paid pricing is pretty affordable for businesses as well."
"From a cost perspective, unattended robots are better."
"The tool's pricing is fairly reasonable."
"Our licensing costs are roughly 1.1 million Danish krones a year."
"Initially, the pricing was a lot more affordable. Now, it seems a bit excessive."
