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 transformed complex contract lifecycles and now supports high-volume workflows
The only drawback of Conga Contract Lifecycle Management (CLM) is that it does not work for small-scale business areas because I have implemented it for one customer with four or five pages of templates and three to four record types. For that small business, Conga Contract Lifecycle Management (CLM) does not work well because it is a bit complicated. Sometimes all customers need is a click of a button to go in and do things, and Conga Contract Lifecycle Management (CLM) is a bit complicated for such kinds of businesses. There are definitely areas where Conga Contract Lifecycle Management (CLM) could be easier to use for smaller businesses, particularly making processes more streamlined and user-friendly.

Platform has supported global rollouts and has delivered faster, more reliable commerce journeys
In my view, SAP Commerce Cloud can be improved as it currently feels too heavy, with customers nowadays expecting solutions to be deployed in months rather than years. This is the most significant issue with SAP Commerce Cloud, which caters primarily to Fortune 500 companies and falls short for mid-sized businesses. I do not have a clear idea on which specific feature they should implement to better serve the smaller business market, despite their several past attempts. Regarding potential improvements for SAP Commerce Cloud, I am not the best person to discuss deployments as I lack a DevOps background. However, I believe the primary enhancement should be in their vision and communication of product benefits. Personally, I have found SAP salespeople to be less friendly compared to their Salesforce counterparts. Their inflexibility regarding discounts and offers might be an area for improvement.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"What I appreciate the most about Automation Anywhere is that the tool is very robust."
"It is easy to understand how to use the tool. For a developer, it is very easy to understand the opportunities and how to use and learn these features. It is very business-oriented."
"The most valuable feature is the task bots because we found that cognitive functionality can be improvised."
"The Automation Anywhere software has improved our organization by moving us into the RPA climate and allowing us to save on our overhead."
"Automation Anywhere's image reader is the most valuable feature."
"It has helped us a lot with our digitized work, and we have automated a lot of the bank's processes."
"Having no restriction for any single programming language is very useful."
"The impact on efficiency from Document Automation is significant, as it has given us approximately 70 to 80 percent of savings, with almost close to 90 percent efficiency and cost savings of approximately 70 to 80 percent of an FTE per person."
"Conga Contract Lifecycle Management (CLM) has positively impacted my organization as it is faster compared to others."
"Overall, Conga Contract Lifecycle Management (CLM) has increased operational efficiency, improved contract turnaround times, and provided greater control over the contract lifecycle."
"The best features that Conga Contract Lifecycle Management (CLM) offers in my experience include the tight integration with Salesforce as the CRM of choice that attracted us to it, and the e-signature feature was very useful as it used the backbone of Adobe to support us."
"The best feature of Conga Contract Lifecycle Management (CLM) is the versioning capability because you can see the updates and everybody can see the changes."
"Overall, Conga Contract Lifecycle Management (CLM) helped streamline contract creation, approval, execution, and renewal processes while reducing manual effort and improving compliance."
"Conga Contract Lifecycle Management (CLM) has positively impacted my organization or my work by making the whole contract process much faster and much more organized."
"Conga Contract Lifecycle Management (CLM) has positively impacted my organization by automating contract generation."
"Conga Contract Lifecycle Management (CLM) has impacted my organization positively as we use this CLM tool whenever a client has a requirement, making it very helpful to build the requirements."
"SAP Hybris provides us with all of the e-commerce features that a client could need."
"All products reside in SAP and all other systems access and update their products and prices in one place, which reduces redundancy."
"Through the ability to consolidate disparate knowledge repositories either through synchronous asynchronous, API batch, synchronization or other custom methods, I can disseminate as much or as little data through the widest variety of channels."
"If you have a client and they want to have an e-commerce project that is based on solid principles, you don't need too much time to develop it."
"The tool supports multiple currencies."
"The tool has good performance."
"We work on B2B projects, and it is the most efficient software solution for B2B."
"We like that this solution gives our B2B clients a lot of functionality straight 'out of the box', meaning that they don't need to carry out a lot of configuration to be able to use it."
 

Cons

"A2019 is less stable than the previous versions."
"We have some ERPs tools which are not compatible with Automation Anywhere because they are legacy systems. We find that Automation Anywhere does not work with these at times. Just enabling the usability of Automation Anywhere on some of these legacy ERPs would help us, as we struggle regularly with this issue."
"I have found that Automation Anywhere is prone to bugs in handling Excel. It breaks and gives vague error messages. I have had a lot of experience with that and learned that it is better to write a Python script instead of using Automation Anywhere's package when dealing with Excel because it is buggy and tends to break, unfortunately."
"While the community provides a platform for interaction and resource sharing, not all training content aligns with the specific needs of developers."
"If you were to come to me and ask for an OCR to be done, I could only guarantee you about eighty percent accuracy."
"For my organization specifically, the challenge is with Automation Anywhere upgradation. We have more than 100 bots that were developed five years ago."
"AA has many features but the issue is with the loss of overhead on computing resources."
"The main request I have for Automation Anywhere is to focus more on technical demonstrations."
"I have noticed there are very few help articles and knowledge-based documents available, making it a bit tricky for new users to onboard onto the platform."
"The artificial intelligence was not working properly, and a lot of improvement has to be done."
"I chose a nine because sometimes I feel that opening Conga Composer feels a bit heavy, and occasionally I need to refer to additional documents to complete specific tasks, which is the only reason preventing a perfect score."
"Secondly, users have reported that X-Author is not functioning consistently, so if we could have an easier feature for accepting or rejecting changes, that would be beneficial from a user perspective."
"They are somewhat reliable, but they are not completely reliable."
"Conga Contract Lifecycle Management (CLM) can be improved in terms of UI and functionality, as it needs to be more clean and polished."
"The improvement I would consider is that the UI should be improved, including the colors."
"To improve Conga Contract Lifecycle Management (CLM), there are just a couple of things that need to be fixed."
"A public cloud solution of this software would open great possibilities."
"SAP Commerce needs to have a credit limit like Salesforce. Currently, we have to do the coding and customization and then showcase it to the user."
"They have just started to work with the cloud, but they only support Microsoft Azure."
"We would like to be able to easily add functionality to the CMS, such as instant messaging. This would make is much more usable, especially in B2C scenarios."
"Hybris is not currently using microservices."
"Tighter integration with SAP (more OOTB tools for integration)."
"SAP Hybris does not employ the latest technologies. For example, they still use GSP, Tag Files, an older version of Java, no microservices, and no Amazon Web Services."
"The support team should improve the response time."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Because it reduced the time duration of our processes, our costs went down."
"More than 40 to 50 percent of the IT budget will be for the cost of automation projects in the coming years since these projects enhance operations add value."
"It is reasonable and affordable. If you consider the tasks that we can get done using this, the pricing is reasonable and affordable."
"I feel the cost of licensing is very high for the A2019 version."
"We are interested in saving manual engineer man-hours. So far, we have saved $100,000."
