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.

Has raised concerns due to outdated framework and high ownership costs
Pega Robotic Process Automation is a temporary solution to a bigger issue, and the cost of implementation especially with Pega really stops customers from proceeding. The total cost of ownership could be improved. From a technical perspective, the product performs adequately. The installation can be quite complex as it's not standalone, and customers need to get the whole Pega platform up and running. The total cost of ownership is not very attractive. RPA as a concept is outdated now, with agentic AI becoming more prominent. We don't see much interest from customers in going down the RPA route; Pega Robotic Process Automation is losing its prominence in the market.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"Working with the Automation Anywhere application is very easy in our environment."
"The deployment of Automation Anywhere went smoothly. They were very supportive with the migration of all of our existing automations and also being there and supportive with the development of the new automations."
"Before the automation, it used to take about two to three hours, now, with automation, it takes about 40 minutes."
"Looking at overall feasibility from features to costing perspective, I strongly feel Automation Anywhere offers a lot of features and scalability and is a very good tool overall and people who have not tried should give a try and put some hands-on."
"I like Automation Anywhere's document automation. It can distill or scan documents and convert the information into a structured format."
"Automation Anywhere saves time and money."
"The data capture feature is very valuable. I know there are also some elements where you have to be able to incorporate AI, but I haven't gotten to that level yet."
"The ease of use of the application is very smooth for us, and coming from a finance and business background, I did not have any challenges using the application."
"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 very stable and we have not had any issues."
"The solution is inexpensive compared to many other solutions in the market."
"Ability to calculate the ROI on the jobs that are running."
"The solution's ability to create adapters quickly is its most valuable feature."
"Pega Robotic Process Automation makes it easy with metrics, robots save time, and handling customer calls became much easier."
"The data entry and the automation of data entry are the most valuable aspects of the product, as it was very smooth and very seamless to create automations with no scope for any errors, making it really error-free and very helpful for us."
"Using the tool actually ends up teaching you about making workflows more efficient."
"With Pega Robotics, once we integrated it will work with any machines after deployment until there is a change."
"User-friendly, easy to understand and has many features including the ability to track."
"If you want to make any kind of base automation, you can easily code exactly what you want."
"The workflow system is very intuitive."
 

Cons

"The scalability of Automation Anywhere's cloud version is excellent, but the on-premise version is a waste of time and money."
"The workflow has a complex drag-and-drop interface that is not user-friendly and requires a good technical understanding, which can be challenging for users."
"Overall improvement is needed for non-technical users who face challenges with how to use it and how to perform more tasks."
"The initial setup was a bit difficult and took more time than expected."
"One of the main concerns with Automation Anywhere is the lack of a robust feature for capturing and managing information from the user interface, something competitors like Blue Prism already offer."
"Many of our clients would want to see scalability in pricing, and while I could say cheaper, that's part of it."
"New versions keep coming up. The challenge for us is to have the downtime to do the migrations."
"With Oracle, Blue Prism was easier and a little bit more stable than Automation Anywhere. Even with ServiceNow, the automation was very unreliable. It did not work as expected."
"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."
"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."
"The development experience needs to be improved."
"Rule versioning and deployment to enable parallel development could still be improved​"
"Pega Robotic Process Automation using OpenSpan has a very low adoption because it does not provide the flexibility that UiPath or Automation Anywhere offers, which includes more benefits such as the bot manager."
"I would like to improve the tool's integration features and stability."
"It is still a niche skill and resources are scarce in the market unless big IT companies are involved."
"I would like to see an enhanced auditing feature included."
"Ease of use could probably be improved."
"The new players such as UiPath and ABBYY are moving very quickly, but Pega is not. I'd definitely like to see Pega doing a few more interesting things on the AI or machine learning front so that we can use the platform for multiple things."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"We save 34,000 hours of time per year and have recouped up to $6000 in lost revenue."
"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."
"Time-wise: We have saved hundreds of thousands of hours."
"The setup cost for this is onetime and licensing is based on your choice of product."
"The cloud-based version comes at an increased cost, although our clients are happy with the new features and have not complained about the pricing."
"We have seen about a 10 percent monetary savings."
"It is not cheap, but we are able to get an ROI."
"This solution costs approximately $3,500 USD per license."
"The tool is expensive."
"The licensing cost is too high."
"In terms of Pega Robotic Process Automation pricing, I would rate it a five out of five because the solution has a good price. Pricing is not very high, though I'm unsure of the exact cost, based on my experience, the price for Pega Robotic Process Automation is less than Blue Prism because I worked with a few clients that have both solutions and my clients prefer Pega Robotic Process Automation over Blue Prism particularly because of the licensing costs."
"Pega is pretty costly."
"​I was not involved in licensing and pricing, but it is worth the cost​."
"Pega Robotic Process Automation is an expensive solution."
"I would rate the product's pricing a nine out of ten."
"Pega is as competitive as the basic players such as UiPath or Automation Anywhere. UiPath is the most expensive, but Pega is at par with Automation Anywhere."
