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.

Offers good UI but needs to improve its integration capabilities

Speaking about how the tool is useful in automating repetitive tasks in our company, I would say that my company started to collect data with the help of Datamatics while also using its GPS tracking features. The tool's UI is much better than the ones offered by other similar products in the market. I recommend the product to others who plan to use it. I suggest that others use their own method of interrogation since it will help them achieve more growth in their organizations through the use of the tool. I rate the tool a seven and a half out of ten.

No-code workflows have streamlined daily operations and support seamless cross-application automation

Microsoft Power Automate's no-code workflows help my team in daily operations to a great extent. Automating a particular activity may not be so useful, but when you connect the whole workflow, then it starts helping a lot. I cannot say much about the best features in Microsoft Power Automate because I have not used it personally, but first of all, it is very easy, it is a low-code platform, and Microsoft has a lot of integration with Microsoft technologies, making it very easy to connect with MS Teams and different Microsoft products, including MS Azure. From that point of view, it provides a lot of connectivity options. From a cost point of view, Mendix is much more costly compared to Microsoft Power Platform, allowing us to develop applications very quickly.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"AA has indirectly helped in re-engineering processes, which has made them more robust and efficient, and this has helped the business immensely."

"We work in the business process outsourcing arena, it has improved our organization mainly around freeing up people to do other things and that can be quite large numbers, in the high tens, even hundreds of people that can be freed up to do other work."

"The most valuable feature is that a job by RPA can be done three or four times faster than a human without human error."

"It saves time for the people who operate it."

"It saves time."

"We are getting massive efficiencies across our back office, internally."

"Automation Anywhere is a valuable tool, as a developer I can do whatever I want: if I want to do automation with the web, Windows, mainframe, or SAP applications, we can do whatever we want with automations using Automation Anywhere."

"Automation Anywhere has a uniqueness with respect to the IQ Bot."

More Automation Anywhere pros

"The product's initial setup phase is straightforward and easy to use."

"The solution is very stable and we have not had any issues."

"We believe that the value and the cost of the Datamatics TruBot really fits financial institutions' budgets much better than what we'd call the big three, the Automation Anywhere, Blue Prism, UiPath."

"Ability to calculate the ROI on the jobs that are running."

"The solution is inexpensive compared to many other solutions in the market."

"It is a very useful product as compared to other products."

"We have talked to Microsoft. We're a large company and we're talking to Microsoft on a regular basis. We have a partner we talk to when it comes to Automate. We are absolutely satisfied with technical support."

"This product is the best in terms of price and capabilities."

"It works best to build cloud flows."

"If you are looking for a low-code, simple to deal with email and extract a spreadsheet, then Microsoft is a good option."

"The solution has drag and drop features, and a development console that's in simple English, so even a non-tech can understand what the code means."

"The most valuable features of this solution are the automation interface and the RPA automation."

"The most valuable feature is the ability to integrate across multiple systems, for example between web portals, Excel, and email, and the ability to write a process that covers all of those different areas of technology."

More Microsoft Power Automate pros

Cons

"Many of our clients would want to see scalability in pricing, and while I could say cheaper, that's part of it."

"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."

"We are not getting consistent behavior from the tool We would like to see this improved and the product more stable."

"I need high value products to be created, so I need integration with other solutions. Machine learning and AI need to be integrated with Automation Anywhere. While IQ Bot is a good beginning, our company does not work with manual paperwork since we are already digital. We would like to see more integration with cognitive tools going forward."

"I used document automation about two years ago, however, it did not work as expected at that time, providing results around 70% to 80%. After that, we turned to third-party tools."

"I would definitely say Citrix automation is one area we have continued to struggle with for the last two months."

"I would like if the IQ Bot could read hand-written documents, otherwise, Automation Anywhere is fabulous to work or develop processes for customers."

"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."

More Automation Anywhere cons

"Would like to see more additions to the library."

"The stability of the product has certain shortcomings, making it an area where improvements are required."

"There is a learning curve, and some training could be included to bring users up to speed."

"I'd like to see more additions to the library, which I believe currently has 200 plus items."

"The solution is difficult to customize. I would like to see more flexibility when it comes to using different kinds of activities."

"Microsoft Power Automate could improve by adding more features to the free version it would be good because there are many features that you have to pay for. There are some functions that IT personnel, like myself, have a difficult time using and could be made more user-friendly."

"Microsoft shouldn't charge extra for the database license if you want to store the data in the database during the trial. We wanted to have a historical trend of the data, and we started with the trial version of the tool. The database license is not included with the trial version, and you have to purchase it separately. Because we had a budget constraint, we had to pull all the information manually from the system, massage it, and push it to the dashboard. About two months ago, we have upgraded to the full-fledged version in which the database is integrated. The database license should be there in the trial version, but they have totally decoupled it. They should have provided a bundle, at least for the trial version, so that once a person or a firm gets a sense of it, they can start building. It might be because they wanted to sell additional licenses or premium licenses, and that's why they have added it in the premium version. It should have more cognitive features. Automation Anywhere and UiPath are different because they have cognitive functionality plus intelligent automation. The cognitive functionality is currently not there in Microsoft Power Automate. It is just for workflow automation and basic bot-level tasks. It should have more cognitive features, which probably will be launched in a couple of years."

"The connectors and the integration capability can be improved. Microsoft RPA is a growing platform, and it is not yet particularly mature."

"It is not yet stable. It is a new solution, and it is not completely stable."

"The stability of the product is not very good and can even fail with simple projects."

"Power Automate cannot handle high end projects and, from a developer's perspective, it's a little difficult for enterprise size companies."

"The tool must be more stable."

More Microsoft Power Automate cons

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Talk to your manager and try to procure an automation license for training. This will allow you to train people, so you can move to automation."

"We generally follow the Gain-Sharing Pricing model, which enables the customer to start getting the RPA benefits right from day one of their implementation."

"Subscription for Automation Anywhere (AA) is paid yearly."

"The product starts at $10,000 and then it's up to you regarding how much you can consume."

"There is an annual subscription for Automation Anywhere."

"We only deal in annual licenses. There are no pay-as-you-go licenses."

"The licensing cost for Automation Anywhere is high."

"One of the things that will be good for the community will be to get the free version to download, which came out just a month ago called Community Edition. So, you can actually download it and try it for yourself."

More Automation Anywhere pricing and cost advice

"The tool is expensive."

"Initially, we had a Microsoft account for Office 365. Later, we discovered that our license included access to Power Automate at no additional cost. There was a small fee for additional features, but it was negligible compared to the benefits. There are not any additional fees required to use the solution."

"The solution is $150 per month for the unattended add-on, and the normal Power Automate comes with an E3 license."

"The pricing of this solution is very good and for me, it's the best option there is."

"There is zero licensing cost. It comes with our Microsoft Office subscription."

"At the moment, from our experience with the two, Power Automate is a lot more expensive solution than Automation Anywhere, but it is also a far more reliable solution. With the price increases and with the current pandemic situation going on worldwide, a lot of the prices have fluctuated, but the packages and the all-encompassing features you get with the Microsoft package far outweigh the benefits from the Automation Anywhere side. Each package on the Automation Anywhere side is cheaper, but we need to continuously purchase subsequent packages to continue with our automation to the extent that we require. So, the Power Automate solution is a bit more pricey, but it does offer us a far better range of capabilities."

"The platform is averagely priced. I rate the pricing a five out of ten."

"I don't deal with the financial side. I know that we pay for a per-user license. It is probably less than $20 a user, but I am not sure about the exact figures."

"Licensing is on an annual basis."
