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

"Overall, this is a great tool because it's easy to maintain and it can reduce hiring costs, leading to reduced overall costs in the future."

"The solution is easy to learn and with it, it's easy to replicate knowledge."

"Automation Anywhere is quite easy to use for users who are not technical, especially business users."

"Simple processes such as tracking, logging, and data consolidation are now automated, which helps us focus more on doing tasks that are impactful and more important."

"The recording feature accelerates the timeline of your implementation."

"There are instances where use cases and opportunities have arisen as a result of having Automation Anywhere and RPA in place that have come about through very casual conversations and have actually resulted in increased revenue opportunities that we didn't realize."

"Automation Anywhere has saved us a lot of time."

"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."

More Automation Anywhere pros

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

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

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

"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."

"The pricing is absolutely reasonable as you're getting a lot more than just this solution."

"The most valuable feature of this solution is the native integrations with other Microsoft products, including SharePoint, Office 365, and Microsoft Teams."

"Power Automate is intuitive and easy to use."

"Microsoft Power Automate has helped our organization by making processes faster."

"Although the solution is still new to me, from what I have experienced, I would recommend the solution to other organizations."

"I have found the scheduling and email notifications features to very good compared to other RPA tools I have used."

"The tool is very good at implementing automation within processes. It's saved us from doing a lot of manual processes."

"By creating in-house solutions, we had a high impact on the organization."

More Microsoft Power Automate pros

Cons

"My opinion is that we need to have a video or tutorial on how to implement these features, as well as seeing what results to expect."

"Automation Anywhere is one of the least stable RPA tools out of the top five RPA solutions."

"There have been problems with scalability. It comes down to how we handle the code."

"Automation Anywhere could improve by better integrating with DevOps. Currently, it cannot be integrated 100% with DevOps methodology, which many companies are requiring."

"A2019 should have more improvement for developers, as it was in v11.x."

"It would be great if they provide installation documents that are easier to understand, place more focus on capturing the fields, and most importantly, concentrate more on the OCR capability."

"The focus on usability and user experience is bang on. Addressing several personas and making it easy for every persona to adopt and embrace is the spot on focus. That's an area that has a lot more room to improve. In the absence of that, the skills and expertise in the industry are going to struggle and if you need broader adoption, which has maximum potential, the persona-based user experience is a focus and I'd say Automation Anywhere is already working on."

"I would like the support to be faster. Their response time is one to two days. Their customer care could be faster."

More Automation Anywhere cons

"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."

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

"The OCR part or scanning of documents is missing."

"There is an RPA feature gap between this solution and other more mature products."

"There have been issues in which it has failed, and it remains a concern."

"Sometimes there are issues with security policies within the company. Some parts get blacked. There are some drawbacks when we use it connected to the cloud. We need to convince clients to open some parts. This is often an issue that originates from the company itself, not Power Automate."

"They need to come up with a little more on AI and precision discovery path to be able to record the processes."

"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."

"Technical support needs to be able to respond quickly to queries. Right now, they are much too slow."

"It lacks a lot of functionality that other tools have. There should be queue management, and there should also be the capability to deal with a little bit more complex automation. If it had queue support and if it was capable of doing more complex automation, it would be a much better tool."

More Microsoft Power Automate cons

Pricing and Cost Advice

"We have a few licenses. They cost roughly $10,000 each."

"The cost can be reduced a little for users."

"The cost of this solution is a little bit high, but it is worth the price."

"Our annual licensing costs are around $100,000 a year."

"We have established a CoE and we take our bot opportunities based on their ROIs. The best ROI opportunity goes to development first. Our ROI opportunities are compliance, profitable growth, productivity enhancements, productivity gains, number of hours the productivity saved, and resources not available that the work can be done by the bot. However, the single most important criteria that we use to measure ROI is how much time does the bot cut down from an analyst's work, as this has the best ROI. E.g., if an analyst is spending a 100 hours of work that a bot can do in one hour, we calculate the 99 hours saved as ROI."

"I think it's $5,500 per license."

"We have seen ROI on one of the process, but not on the other processes yet."

"Automation Anywhere's pricing falls within the mid-range, but the long-term benefits outweigh the initial investment."

More Automation Anywhere pricing and cost advice

"The tool is expensive."

"It's more fragmented licensing, where every little thing that you add, you get an extra license cost."

"There should be increased transparency about which features attend the pricing."

"The licensing cost for us at this time is between $8 and $20 per user, per month."

"I believe one of the advantages of this device is its low cost."

"We are just using the free products at the moment. We are using the ones that come with the license that we have got."

"This is a cost-effective product and now that it has been acquired by Microsoft, we don't expect the cost to increase with the next release."

"Power Automate is a much less expensive product than the competition."

"The free version is quite good."
