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.

Cloud platform orchestrates business processes with AI capabilities
I find the capabilities that a normal orchestrator should have to be valuable in WorkFusion. The WorkFusion 10 cloud-based platform is different from the earlier on-prem version, WorkFusion 9. The platform now includes auto machine learning and AI capabilities. We haven't used these extensively, but they are a nice feature they are working on. The platform remains stable with well-designed processes, despite being a complex and technical tool.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The best feature is its ability to combine Automation Anywhere with AI to build intelligent bots."
"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."
"It improves accuracy and reduces manpower. It is easy to learn."
"Automation Anywhere helped our organization to get our training and implementation needs successful by providing both community edition and partner edition. Automation Anywhere seamlessly handed off exceptions to employees from Automation Anywhere bots."
"SAP GUI Integration commands are highly useful while working with SAP applications and facilitate easy use of the software. This feature has been recently incorporated within the software and we have been using it to interface with SAP systems in development as well as production."
"Automation Anywhere is the best."
"The universal recorder is a kind of hybrid recorder that enables the user to record the data across devices."
"Object cloning is one of the main features that are using. We are very happy with it. as It has enabled us to capture a lot of things on screen and use them."
"The most valuable features are PDF extraction and emailing."
"The product has increased efficiency and reduced the time spent on tasks."
"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."
"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."
"Overall, this is a pretty good product and nobody else in the market is providing RPA at this level."
"One of the advantages of Automation Anywhere is that the Bot Insight feature is built-in."
"It is easy to use and very stable. It is a rugged product, and it doesn't break so easily."
"The solution is stable, we have not had any glitches or problems."
"WorkFusion's RPA Express's ability to scale across multiple geographies with limited impact on additional IT Hardware requirements. This has enabled the scaling of Robotics capabilities and solutions across all our entities."
"It really does help by either freeing up people's time to focus on more value-added tasks or reducing headcount. We generally have other things that we can get people to do, helping make the employees' work more meaningful since they are not having to do the mundane stuff."
"WorkFusion's SAP integrations are really good."
"If it is the first time a customer is a victim of fraud, he gets a refund within 10 to 15 minutes."
"For automating mundane activities, I can recommend WorkFusion."
"The most valuable features are the Excel activities. It has a number of Excel activities that are quite reliable."
"Recently, our recons team was audited, and when the auditing was done, the process done by the reconciliation bot was the only process that was passed by the auditor."
 

Cons

"Vertical connecting lines would be appropriate within the code, and a collapse/expand feature for code blocks would be ideal."
"Automation Anywhere's current requirement for upfront annual payments limits flexibility for customers."
"We face some issues, but we can’t prove them again. They occurred sometimes, but don’t occur again. For example, I record a video when a bot is running, and it is working fine. Another time it is not working. We face issues with Excel file creation. I’m trying to create a file in Excel .xls. It is getting corrupted."
"Looking at the POC's requirements and use cases, our customers are asking us for the OCRing of handwritten documents."
"Its licensing can become too expensive for a small startup company."
"The licensing model could be a lot less complex, mainly due to their different structures, which are not straightforward."
"I really appreciate the user interface of Automation Anywhere, but I would like to see some improvement on some of the automation around screen processing. This includes adding some artificial intelligence on the way that bots actually can read the screen and know when things change and be able to adapt to those changes."
"I suggest having more ways to perform string manipulations and string operations, instead of just what is pre-defined in the V11 tool."
"The user experience could be made a little better with this solution. I find it difficult to find qualified people to be able to use 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."
"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."
"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."
"The deployment could be made a little bit easier."
"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."
"The pricing of this product could be better."
"The OCR tool, the optical character recognition tool, could be more efficient."
"So far, we have developed only one automation using machine learning. The results were less than optimal."
"WorkFusion comes packed with certain libraries and .jars. At times, you understand that you're using a system in which a library or .jar is outdated and you need to upgrade it... They need to better manage quickly making changes in WorkFusion to accommodate a situation where other technologies are not supporting the platform."
"The express version does not do API calls and the Enterprise version does not do codeless coding."
"The most common issue we have is with the OCR, but that also depends on the quality of the documents your scanning. Still, I would say the OCR is comparable to other solutions. I wouldn't say it's better or worse than other OCR engines."
"The OCR capability should also be improved."
"Stability can be improved, especially when it comes to memory."
"We would like to see further improvement in the area of running headless."
"However, we've had use cases where we decided not to employ WorkFusion because it lacked capabilities that were important for the business processes in our company."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"I would rate the cost an eight out of ten, with ten being the highest cost."
"This is a value for the money product."
"Time-wise: We have saved hundreds of thousands of hours."
"In terms of monetary savings, we automated a bot in three days that has saved us $30,000 in costs."
"The price for Automation Anywhere is reasonable."
"It depends. For example, for my group, we are centralizing the infrastructure in Paris. Our contract is signed with Automation Anywhere in France. The currency and the pricing of Automation Anywhere in France can appear beneficial and interesting for Germany and Scandinavian countries, but when we share our infra and are internally charging other countries such as Poland, Brazil, or some other country with a lower currency value as compared to Euro, it becomes less beneficial. They would prefer to sign the contract directly with Automation Anywhere because they will benefit from a price that is as per their local market."
"It is expensive. I would rate Automation Anywhere an eight out of ten in terms of pricing."
"We're on a license package with Automation Anywhere (AA), paid yearly. What would be better is for them to have different packages for different types of organization."
"We are on an annual license for the solution and is priced well."
"Our licensing costs are approximately $3,000 USD annually."
"It is too expensive and not worth the price."
"Pricing for this solution can be better."
"I think payment can vary but it's a re-occurring fee that needs to be paid every year."
"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."
"The pricing is fair."
"Automation Anywhere is more reasonable than Blue Prism and UiPath in terms of cost."
"I can't speak to pricing. It's a contract signed by upper management."
"We have a good deal from WorkFusion. We have an unlimited global licensing deal with WorkFusion. For us, it is a no-worry solution. We can go ahead and use it as much as possible anywhere we need it. If WorkFusion has a different kind of a deal for licensing with others, then their business decisions need to be evaluated based on that."
"In addition to the licensing fee, there is also an implementation cost for each use case and technical support costs."
"The overall cost could come down a bit in terms of maintaining the servers. Because it can handle complicated things in big use cases, the infrastructure is also correspondingly big. It would be nice to bring that cost down."
"As a first-time customer who wants to engage with WorkFusion, not working for my company, then I would want to do a PoC. The cost is prohibitive because they will ask me to get infrastructure with six or seven servers. Then, you must buy a WorkFusion license to do a PoC, which is expensive. I would then have to set up a team to build the PoC and see the benefits. That is very prohibitive."
"Find it online."
"One upgrade took a year to do, from the first server being built to the last bot being migrated. This was because we had to migrate all our existing bots. This is the same process and time frame that we are expecting towards the upcoming upgrade. I will end up spending half a million dollars to do an upgrade."
"The solution was not the cheapest, but it was also not the most expensive. Workfusion was very open to negotiating pricing and to working within the objectives of our firm."
