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

"The character extraction capability of IQ Bot is much, much better than the other OCR (Optical Character Recognition) engines that you have in the market today."
"The most valuable feature is IQ Bot, as it allowed us to train it to extract important logistical information from customer PDF documents, irrespective of the format."
"We reduce the time that scientists spend on manual tasks and put them on more value-added work."
"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."
"Document Automation plays a very good role for document processing."
"The CyberArk integration and setup are really amazing and it helps us to win deals for new projects."
"In my day-to-day applications, I can integrate Automation Copilot easily as I can embed it within Workday, BambooHR, and Salesforce, allowing business users easy access to Automation Anywhere without logging into multiple applications, thus saving 85 to 90% of the time."
"It helps with the speed on improving processes and the results of those processes."
"When I compare it with other BPM tools, like IBM, it is great, open source, and free when you use the community version."
"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."
"The ease with which I can define workflows is most valuable."
"Because it's a complete solution, you can start modeling to automate processes."
"Having knowledge of the BPM and monitoring process has proven to be very beneficial, as I am currently engaged in documenting processes for Clientele."
"The Camunda BPMN Platform is very flexible and gives several options to deploy and scale it."
"We are very strongly recommending Camunda BPM; it is good, it is easy, the community is good, and there is a lot of support if you are stuck anywhere."
"EC2 makes scaling horizontally incredibly easy, especially when working under the ECS service."
"What I like most is the seamlessness of the workflow capabilities."
"Its performance, stability, and security are fine."
 

Cons

"When we are moving from one version to another version, it's very difficult because most of the features stop working."
"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."
"I would like OCR for video and text using the IQ Bot. It should also be available in an email tag format."
"We are not getting consistent behavior from the tool We would like to see this improved and the product more stable."
"I would like for AA to add an inbuilt debug log that has functionalities to view the values of variables during run time in order to have a point-to-point debugging in case of an error."
"We don't have an ROI in any of our processes. We are just trying it out now to see if it works. We haven't had any savings yet. We have been putting more time in than saving time at this point."
"The AI centricity is a bit behind compared to the way we see Microsoft and AWS doing it. This is the feedback that I have also given to them. They need to expand themselves to provide more services than just RPA. Only RPA may not be enough for us, and it would not be our preferred choice for an automation tool."
"I would suggest adding more fields while calling in API. There is no option to generate Authentication token within the Bot."
"In terms of features, it meets my needs, but I would like Camunda to have an office in Brazil and provide training in Portuguese. They should provide regional support and training courses in Portuguese."
"The development team had a lot of issues at the start. Guaranteeing the execution times that it will work to is difficult."
"It would be helpful if the solution had additional out-of-the-box activities."
"Without a proper frontend, the business cannot effectively use the platform."
"The documentation could use improvement."
"Process interfaces between diagrams could be improved."
"Initial setup can be quite complex."
"Some BPM standard functionalities are not yet supported in Camunda and they can really cause serious problems for implementers."
"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

"I would rate the cost of Automation Anywhere as a six out of ten, with ten being the most expensive."
"They are already coming out with a community license, which is really good. That's something that I wish to have."
"Our annual licensing costs are about $500,000."
"Subscription for Automation Anywhere (AA) is paid yearly."
"The certifications are free of cost."
"We paid separately for the Runner and Creater components. The final cost depends on the structure of your environment."
"I am using that Automation Anywhere Master Certification for version 11. Recently, this has been updated in Automation Anywhere University. Until this month, it's free to use. There are no charges. That's why I would like to complete it this month."
"It costs up to $1,200 per license."
"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 price is competitive with products like Bonitasoft and RHPAM (Red Hat Process Automation Manager). We have two versions of Camunda. The first version was open source, without support, but then we got a supported version."
"The most attractive feature of the product is that it is open source."
"The evaluation of my customers on pricing is that it is reasonable."
"Camunda Platform is an open-source product."
"There were some features that were only available in the paid version."
"Camunda has a free service as well as a commercial service. We are using the free service."
"In Africa, the cost of deployment is an important factor to consider since it adds to the overall cost. This might be the only drawback to using it."
"We have a yearly license."
