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.

Supports long-running asynchronous processes effectively but has not evolved much in recent years

I think Camunda is focusing too much on the SaaS offering right now and not much on improving and developing the product itself. I did not see any innovations on that aspect, especially for the open-source version. I was making some tests recently and the tool seemed pretty much the same as it was three or four years ago. Since they made the move to cloud deployment in a more SaaS-oriented way, they do not invest too much in the community version. To be honest, it did not change much from the Activiti initial version. Activiti was pretty much what Camunda is today. They invested a lot on Zeebe and made it the engine for their SaaS cloud version. Camunda itself, the embedded engine, did not evolve too much. They could invest more on that.

Workflow orchestration has transformed AI delivery and creates clear, visible processes

Inngest handles orchestrating multi-step AI workflows effectively. The valuable aspect of this product is turning scattered background jobs into a visible workflow that can be planned, estimated, monitored, and discussed with engineering and client stakeholders. In our product, this matters because AI products often look simple at the interface level but contain many moving parts underneath. A user may only see a button or a chat response, but behind the scenes, they may encounter model calls, retrieval logic, state changes, data processing, and monitoring. Inngest helps to make the hidden layer more manageable. I value that Inngest supports repeatable patterns. Instead of inventing a new solution for each feature for client projects, we can use a more consistent approach that makes future work easier to scope and maintain. The best features Inngest offers include the ability to visualize the workflow, which allows for easy planning, estimation, and monitoring. Visualization aids greatly with planning and estimation in my projects, saving time and making communication with my team easier. As a delivery owner, I need to communicate with the team, and presenting to stakeholders is essential. Inngest has positively impacted my organization, allowing us to spend less engineering time on building orchestration patterns. Since using Inngest, I have noticed positive changes such as smoother processes and improved team collaboration. The best impact on my project and team is that it allows us to spend less engineering time on building orchestration patterns, resulting in fewer meetings and a clearer path for async AI features. This product reduces engineering efforts and shortens the delivery cycle. Everyone using Inngest, including myself, can feel the positive outcomes. Visibility is very important.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"With its user-friendly user interface, our developers are able to quickly pick it up."

"Automation Anywhere is the best."

"Automation Anywhere performs efficiently."

"We have installed Automation Anywhere on AWS, Azure, and GCP, which works well."

"IQ Bot is a valuable feature. It processes unstructured data to structured data. It helps me by making tasks less time consuming. It reduces the effort it takes versus manually."

"It is easy to install and use."

"The scope of automation by using Automation Anywhere has become wonderful."

"Automation Anywhere has had a huge impact in my organization, especially in saving time and compliance-related process automation by reducing errors drastically and ensuring quick processing of requests with proper logs available for the audit team."

More Automation Anywhere pros

"With this product, we have the flexibility and speed to serve customers quickly and that is important."

"Provides an easy way to integrate with the architectural environment."

"We have been able to save costs using this solution compared to the product we used before."

"The most valuable features are the ease of use and the ability to streamline a process model on a BPM diagram."

"We like the idea of working with Cawemo because it enables us to keep on working, remotely or not. It allows us to collaborate between areas. It's easy to model and easy to use"

"The Camunda BPMN Platform is very flexible and gives several options to deploy and scale it."

"Overall, the solution has been very solid."

"We evaluated Appian for my current job but it's less beneficial if your aim is to have your customers at the front end, and we took the middle road when we went with Camunda and the flexibility it offers is a big advantage for us."

More Camunda pros

"Inngest has positively impacted my organization, allowing us to spend less engineering time on building orchestration patterns, resulting in fewer meetings and a clearer path for async AI features."

Cons

"20 percent of the bots need to supervised because sometimes errors occur during the run. Most of the errors that I have encountered have been because the object cloning did not capture the buttons properly."

"Automation Anywhere changed OCR features in A2019. My suggestion is to improve the OCR command scope and usability. We use OCR for PDF data extraction as we use in V. 11.x product."

"When you are hosting the application, that is when it is a little more complicated to set up. You need to talk to the IT department, as you are actually outside of their firewall, then you are coming back inside their cloud."

"It would be better to make it more user-friendly so that individuals with no experience can pick it up pretty quickly."

"The initial setup was complex because we had to make sure all the security aspects were approved by our leadership."

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

"If the option were available to use the old generic-style variable type, it would be helpful."

"Applications like Microsoft Power Automate do have zero-code systems. I've not done much research on Automtin Anywhere in comparison. However, if Automation Anywhere could also have something of that sort, that would be a game changer."

More Automation Anywhere cons

"I'd like to see a number of preset features and configurations included in the solution to make it more of a plug-and-play kind of product."

"On the other hand, if I were rating it for use by the public then I would rate it a three out of ten."

"It's costly and not accessible for small enterprises or startups. It would be great if Camunda offered a tier plan for smaller companies."

"The only drawback is the time that it takes to have a complete set of workflows implemented on the Camunda platform."

"It is not difficult to change existing processes. The difficulty was in integration, for example, to call an external web API, and in the security capabilities, to use a vault for secrets. That was difficult."

"Right now we are trying to solve problems with the Camunda Cloud and there are significant problems with performance."

"In the latest version, there are certain workflow nodes that are missing. Camunda should bring those back, or rather, develop them quickly."

"It would be helpful if the solution had additional out-of-the-box activities."

More Camunda cons

"An area for improvement for Inngest could be stronger product reporting, such as cost by client and AI feature."

Pricing and Cost Advice

"In terms of pricing, this is a good product."

"I would rate the cost an eight out of ten, with ten being the highest cost."

"It's an ideal pricing model to customize the components based on everyone's needs."

"The setup cost depends on multiple factors, so you need to get details before choosing."

"Annual licensing costs would be about $100,000."

"They are already coming out with a community license, which is really good. That's something that I wish to have."

"Pricing is a bit high when compared to other available tools; however, the tool is worth the cost."

"The licensing cost of Automation Anywhere is better than UiPath and Blue Prism."

More Automation Anywhere pricing and cost advice

"We're using the open-source version for now."

"We have an annual subscription to this solution."

"We're using the free version. We used the Enterprise version for some time. If I compare free versus what we paid at that time, the Enterprise version costs a lot. For the additional functionality that we got with the Enterprise version, it was too costly."

"There were some features that were only available in the paid version."

"Compared to other software, Camunda Platform is quite cost-effective."

"There is a bit of scope for improvement in how the licensing and pricing are done. They are based on the number of processing instances you execute on the cluster... but on the self-hosted mode, the pricing model should be customized."

"I think Camunda BPM can improve their licensing costs. It isn't easy to find clients with Camunda BPM licenses mainly because it's quite expensive."

"I tried to get some information about buying the license for the solution, but I found it kind of hard to understand the business model."
