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.

Workflow orchestration has supported complex enforcement processes and improves human task integration

Areas that have room for improvement in Camunda include the user interface. We moved from Camunda 7 to Camunda 8, and previously we had Camunda 7 Cockpit, and now we have Operate. The UI of Operate is less user-friendly. It may be a little more modern, but it is less user-friendly, so some insights are missed. The UI could be improved. Another topic is something that should have been recently solved in Camunda 8, but in Camunda 7, we had a case management system based on Camunda, and we had our own identifiers in our system. It was easier in Camunda 7 to link these identifications, the business identification to the process identification, and in Camunda 8, this was not implemented until the 8.10 release. We really missed that feature, as it made it very difficult to embed and especially for debugging. The combination with the new Operate instead of Camunda 7 Cockpit made it difficult to find specific running processes. The maintenance of Camunda is somewhat complex. Recently, we had to move from 8.8 to 8.9 or 8.10, and everything was broken, which cost us a lot of time to repair and revert. The complexity is particularly evident because of the architectural changes Camunda made when moving from Camunda 7 to Camunda 8. It took about three years to make Camunda 8 mature, and sometimes it seems they realized they made a wrong decision by switching to a completely different approach. It is not just a matter of pushing a button and installing it; it has a bigger impact than expected, which is indeed one of the downsides we recently faced. The ability to observe and control processes at runtime, related to Operate, rates at a six in my assessment, so that could definitely be improved.

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

"The integration of Automation Anywhere into our clients' workflows, APIs, business applications, and documents was seamless, but it was a bit of a struggle until we realized that it has a built-in integration platform."

"Automation Anywhere's central command center is good."

"Our ROI has ranged from thousands to hundreds of thousands, depending on the type of process being automated."

"A has a bouquet of features that can be used in our projects. We have utilized all the features in our existing projects. It may be task bots, meta bots, or IQ bots. The features in the AA bots may be object cloning or security features where the bots can be triggered only from the control room and will help clients to maintain their security concerns."

"There are quite a few very strong features available to users."

"Features like reusing each and every piece of code for things such as login scripts and data extraction scripts helped us to speed up the implementation of PoC for the client."

"Business users utilize Bot Insight dashboards to get analysis."

"When we compare other projects on other platforms versus Automation Anywhere, the technical support we are receiving in terms of efficiency, and even that they are giving us good price, this is what we are looking for."

More Automation Anywhere pros

"Since day one, our goal was to build reusable components that can be used in other projects, and we recently did a discovery for one of our projects and we found that we could reuse 80 percent of what we had developed on the Camunda platform, and the microservices and the connectors were reusable and that really reduced the development effort drastically for that use case."

"I love that Camunda is a very developer-friendly platform, and my customers have evaluated the pricing as reasonable."

"It is an absolutely stable solution."

"The integration with almost any language, product, and even human tasks, is valuable. It's very seamless to integrate into existing systems. It doesn't require you to rewrite a lot of your existing system. That's where it really stands out."

"I can use any other tools to create services and the UI, and then use them together with the Camunda BPMN engine."

"I would definitely recommend the solution to anyone."

"I would highly recommend the open-source version of Camunda, which can be used free of charge, for any software development company that would like to implement BPM in their software solutions."

"The modeler is useful for creating the flow. The way to access the data through their REST API is also valuable. This is what we're using right now."

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

"One key feature we are looking for from Automation Anywhere is the need for a fully evolved CI/CD pipeline approach within our IT organization, given that we manage multiple applications."

"I feel A2019 is still not completely ready and the discontinuing of version 11 is a negative impact for all of the users and clients."

"It is negative right now. What we are expecting, for one bot creation, is a six-month turnaround for getting ROI, but that is only the developer man-hour versus actual time saved."

"Commands in Excel, Outlook, and Word automation are very limited and hence facing difficulties automating complex requirements for the above applications with V11 version."

"I feel the tool has to provide deeper insights for debugging issues, considering both internal and external factors."

"One thing with the bot that we are always struggling with is the memory management."

"We have had a lot of issues using Automation Anywhere and find ourselves stuck."

"I noticed that from version 10.5 to 11.3 the number of clicks to start a bot through the Control Room and Schedule Manager have increased. In certain cases, I would like to see that become simpler, faster, and easier."

More Automation Anywhere cons

"When you search for Camunda BPM resources or books on how to utilize Camunda BPM, it is lacking."

"The product does not have a dictionary."

"When trying to design rule tables the solutions graphical user interface could improve, it could be more user friendly."

"There should be a multi-tenant solution for the platform where it supports multiple organizations on one platform instead of having to spin up multiple clusters for each organization. There should be an easy way to integrate different departments into one platform without having to operate multiple platforms. The operations should be easier with the enterprise solution. It should not create more overhead for the operations people."

"We had to do a lot of tweaking; it hasn't been stable from the beginning, but with some effort, it can become stable."

"Camunda Platform's customer support could be improved because their response is quite slow."

"They have a migration plugin that can be used to migrate from one BPM to another BPM. It is in the beta stage since last year."

"The user interface needs some polishing because it is too technical for end-users to use it."

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

"Additional costs will be for the machines and the number of machines that you are using. You can deploy virtually as well as on physical machines. In both the situations, you do need to allocate a certain budget for securing the machines and where the software will be installed and running. The machines cannot be used for anything else, because only a certain bot can run at a certain time. You need to be very particular about your scheduling of running the bots, and while the bot is running nobody can use the machine. You cannot have an agent working on a machine and the bot running in the background. It has to be completely dedicated. Then there are the network bandwidth requirements and space requirements, which are additional costs apart from the licensing and software costs. The developer is also going to charge you for their coding time too."

"This solution costs approximately $3,500 USD per license."

"I think the pricing is reasonable, but clients often perceive it as expensive."

"It saves me around $100,000 a year."

"We were required to purchase licenses and bot runners, which determined the permissible run times for the bots."

"Including the AWS setup and everything per license, it costs us around $10,000 on an annual basis. I believe that is pretty reasonable considering the teams that we have."

"I am not involved in the pricing, but based on what I hear from our central RPA team, it is not very expensive; it is also not cheap. Its price is in the midrange."

"I do not know the price, but I am told that it is cheaper than UiPath."

More Automation Anywhere pricing and cost advice

"We are using the community version. There is no licensing cost."

"The open-source version of the product is free to use."

"It is less cost-prohibitive than other solutions on the market. This solution was in our price range."

"While the license isn't budget-friendly, careful consideration and calculated planning for a significant number of licenses can make it more cost-effective."

"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."

"The evaluation of my customers on pricing is that it is reasonable."

"I use the open-source free version."

"We pay for the license of this solution annually."
