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.

Works well, but its interface should be a bit more user-friendly
We use it for our process flows and levels of approvals, but I am not managing it directly Its performance, stability, and security are fine. Its interface should be a bit more user-friendly. I have been using this solution for close to a year. It is stable. It is easy to scale. We currently…

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"I like the diversity. Every year, maybe even every six months, new modules are introduced to the program, and module enhancements are added to the toolbox to make automating various applications or situations easier."
"Automation Anywhere has saved us a lot of time, money & efforts by automating our ServiceNow tickets."
"It gives us the capability of leveraging our investments in different applications. I can use Automation Anywhere to tie a number of applications or processes together, without having to do in-depth coding to automate something."
"We've noticed time savings of up to 40 minutes, based on wait time and verification delays."
"My clients have seen tremendous value when it comes to automating business processes, and the robust nature of the application allows them to scale their business processes pretty quickly."
"The simplicity of the tool is a plus point, as it does not require one to be from coding background to work on it."
"We are using it for scripting, and it is end user based with screen captures. It is a bit easier to use than any of the other tools out there."
"The OCR application is excellent and has helped resolve many issues that I had been facing."
"The most valuable features are that it's lightweight, can be embedded in existing Java code, and keeps track of the workflow state and the instances that we need."
"The most valuable feature is that, with a visual system, you can try to have a process client before beginning the programming for the application."
"Because it's a complete solution, you can start modeling to automate processes."
"Provides an easy way to integrate with the architectural environment."
"Camunda is the best among similar solutions like JBPM and Activiti."
"Camunda seems to have a lot of traction, maturity, and stability. It also matches the need for agile development."
"The speed and execution of DMN was a big selling point for us."
"With this product, we have the flexibility and speed to serve customers quickly and that is important."
"What I like most is the seamlessness of the workflow capabilities."
"Its performance, stability, and security are fine."
 

Cons

"We need a better way of getting upgrades or defect fixes. It is creating problems for us, as we have to go for a completely new version. Maintaining and managing existing bots, then coming up with new ones takes a lot of time. We would rather have a batch fix than an installation to an installation."
"Cloud was one of the features we wanted to see, because it makes it much easier. The second feature is ease of use in terms of agnostic operating system."
"Some of the biggest improvements they can make are with the interface. It can be improved in terms of usability or searching for something. For example, icons are hard to find. Typically, you jump into the search box, but being able to go in and find things quickly with the eye could be very valuable."
"Initially, the implementation was tough."
"In a cost-sensitive industry like banking, where automation needs to prove clear ROI, a more flexible pricing structure would assist organizations in expanding automation more aggressively without feeling constrained by budget considerations."
"When I post questions, I seldom get answers fast, and when I do, there are inconsistencies with the existing documentation."
"The error handling command on this solution still needs improvement, especially when compared to other platforms that are doing very well."
"The version that I used (10.3) was not that stable. It easily crashed in-between processes."
"When you search for Camunda BPM resources or books on how to utilize Camunda BPM, it is lacking. When it comes to Alfresco, there are thousands of resources that can help you to utilize within AWS and its Group Services. I would like to see the usage of Camunda BPM on Amazon Web Services be improved."
"I think it would be important to internationalize the Cockpit and the Admin as well as with the Tasklist."
"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."
"Probably one area I look forward to has to do with AI and how Camunda sees the AI angle on workflow."
"Collaborations and process documentation in Camunda Platform are areas with shortcomings that need improvement."
"If they could build some scripts or some configuration to get it up and running in a Docker environment, that would be good. I didn't find anything when on Docker, however, maybe they have something and I didn't see it yet."
"Some BPM standard functionalities are not yet supported in Camunda and they can really cause serious problems for implementers."
"I would like to see the forms engine available in the open-source version of this solution."
"This solution only supports basic text, but we would like to be able to insert components such as rich text, graphs, charts, pictures, and other objects."
"Its interface should be a bit more user-friendly."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Automation Anywhere falls within a mid-range price point when compared to other RPA tools on the market."
"They recently launched a Community Edition, which is okay, but they should have done this a long time ago."
"The pricing is fair. My company is part of a big organization, so the pricing is very advantageous."
"Based on what I've heard, it's costly, but I don't know much about its pricing."
"It looks like it will be right around $115,000, not counting IQ Bot, which we won't renew until later."
"Overall, the pricing of Automation Anywhere is good."
"Our licensing costs are setup on an annual basis."
"There is an annual subscription for Automation Anywhere."
"The cost of this solution is better than some competing products."
"We pay for the license of this solution annually."
"We're using the open-source version for now."
"The evaluation of my customers on pricing is that it is reasonable."
"Camunda is much cheaper."
"I use the open-source free version."
"It is good for a startup. When we started, its price was fair, but the way we are using it to orchestrate microservices makes it expensive. When you are growing as a company, you would have more microservices, and you would have more users. There is an exponential effect when you are growing in terms of the number of conditions, processes, and users because they bill you per process. So, the price was increasing very quickly for us, and it was very difficult."
"Camunda has a free service as well as a commercial service. We are using the free service."
"We have a yearly license."
