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.

Automating processes has saved time and improved communication
Something frustrates me concerning Microsoft Power Automate, and that is about the integration with Microsoft Forms and Excel. The issue now is that I don't get my responses synchronized automatically, and that frustrates me a lot. If the team could take this as feedback, the synchronization of the feedback responses from the forms and the Excel sheets should be seamless. This synchronization issue happens frequently, and it causes a lot of delays in the sense that the mails that ought to go out to the agents fail at some point. I have to reload these responses so that the agents can get their responses as when submitted. What I notice is that the responses don't go out without proper synchronization, so I reload the field responses, and this works afterwards. I would say probably a seamless walkthrough process for new users would be beneficial. For those using it for the first time, a seamless walkthrough process would be fine.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"Value for time: with the help of Enterprise A2019, we can get instant value."
"I started my RPA journey with Automation Anywhere only because it is the best available solution in the market."
"There are many features of Automation Anywhere that were found to be most valuable like WLM, PDF integration, Advanced Excel Commands, Terminal Emulator and its commands, Interactive Forms building features of A2019 which helped us in developing UI for our front office automation and integrate it with multiple rest APIs."
"IQ Bot is the most important feature and it has been extensively used by our clients."
"I like the new GenAI and Automation Co-Pilot, which is something like attended automation."
"Now, rather than the team going and collecting all of that information, we can have the bots do it, and that has been fantastic."
"We are able to sell it very easily compared to its competitors. Another piece is the stability part. The third piece is something which is the customer experience: The ease to work with it. The Automation Anywhere, as a partner, is very easy to work with. They are there when you need them, whether you are in the initial journey of automation, you are figuring out what is the right opportunity, or whether you are in the journey of deploying the bot or support. They are there with you at each of those stages."
"In version 11.3, they have a good security option. Tool-wise, it's pretty good to work on Automation Anywhere. If you compare it to other tools in the industry. It is very user-friendly and easy to develop processes. We liking using it very much."
"The solution is very stable and we have not had any issues."
"The product's initial setup phase is straightforward and easy to use."
"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."
"The solution is inexpensive compared to many other solutions in the market."
"Ability to calculate the ROI on the jobs that are running."
"I like Power Automate because it is very easy to use for users who don't have IT knowledge."
"Microsoft Power Automate is a no-code platform which is very easy to learn, allowing businesses to build their own small automations."
"The most valuable features of Microsoft Power Automate are user-friendliness and low coding functionality."
"It is a great solution for simple automation activities or simple automation of simple tasks. It is also integrated with Office 365. Integration is an absolute breeze with any RPA software."
"The solution integrates well with Microsoft Office and other Microsoft solutions."
"The most valuable feature of Microsoft Power Automate is the ability to automate tedious tasks."
"We are just at the start of our journey, and we are trying to understand its true capabilities."
"We used it to track the vaccination status of all employees, about 90,000 employees, triggering reminders whenever an employee's vaccination was coming up."
 

Cons

"We are not getting consistent behavior from the tool We would like to see this improved and the product more stable."
"I attended and successfully completed the certification for the Document Automation Masterclass. For this, we tried to automate handwritten documents, but it was not successful. I believe there is room for improvement. This was the only use case we had in the last couple of months where we attempted this and did not get the desired results."
"The initial implementation of Automation Anywhere regarding the elastic search and database set connection can be a little difficult. However, I am skilled enough to get through it. There were some balancing issues that my other team members had to manage. They are having difficulty in balancing when I checked the architecture properly. We determined later that there was no need for a load balance to be done on the servers. We didn't do any load balancing and then the elastic search was not done."
"We do not have the AI Agent Studio feature of Automation Anywhere available yet in our government GCC environment."
"They have a ridiculously expensive bot licensing structure, especially for the Asian region."
"One of the things that we did was purchase the solution originally through IBM, as they had an value-added layer on top of it. Once we had another group come on, they purchased additional bots directly from Automation Anywhere, and they wouldn't integrate well. We had to uninstall the solution that we had purchased from IBM and reinstall those bots to move forward."
"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 like to see better and more technical use cases for the AI features, showing how to build them instead of repeated general examples."
"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."
"Would like to see more additions to the library."
"I'd like to see more additions to the library, which I believe currently has 200 plus items."
"Their connector to Oracle or premium data sets that aren't Microsoft would often fail for me. The information given back about why it failed wasn't always robust to understand how to fix it and why it happened."
"Microsoft Power Automate is limited if we want to create a complex flow because we have to split the log into two flows."
"I would like more integration with other tools. It integrates well with Microsoft products, but there should be more integration with other platforms and tools, such as chatbots."
"It is challenging to scale the solution across multiple branches."
"Looping can be a bit tricky in Power Automate."
"It would be great if you could integrate outside of Microsoft environments."
"The stability is not very reliable."
"The tool should improve its price."
