Room For Improvement

Automation Anywhere's complexity, cost, and technical demands challenge non-tech users, requiring improved support and ease for smaller firms.
DataRobot needs improved integration, transparency, pricing, and support, while users seek enhanced AI features and better data handling.
Fireworks AI needs improved documentation, visual aids, integration, scalability, examples, and simplified dashboard for better user experience.
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.
Low Code Developer at a manufacturing company with 10,001+ employees
Making the product more lightweight by reducing its dependency on infrastructure could greatly help in the long run.
Software Developer at Boston Scientific
It would be beneficial if the platform provided options for power developers to integrate seamlessly with languages like Java or C#, allowing them to write their own scripts and code.
Rpa Infrastructure Lead at a tech vendor with 10,001+ employees
If DataRobot also adds those data transformation capabilities, then it will be an end-to-end tool and the customer will not have to procure many tools for doing the ingestion and transformation process.
Advisory Solutions Architect at Dell Technologies
The integration of DataRobot would greatly benefit from allowing more realistic tools and would be improved if it integrates more comprehensively with AWS cloud and other cloud platforms.
Quality Engineering Specialist at a consultancy with 1,001-5,000 employees
DataRobot is a UI-based tool, which means it cannot provide all the features I might manually implement through notebooks or Python.

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.

Accelerated production models have transformed fraud detection and streamlined compliant AI workflows
There are three additional things I would like to add about DataRobot. First, it is not magic; the saying 'garbage in, garbage out' still applies. If your data is messy, has leaks, or the wrong target, DataRobot will just build a bad model faster. It is important to spend time on data prep. Second, free alternatives exist; if the budget is tight, H2O.ai, AutoGluon by AWS, and PyCaret in Python do similar AutoML. DataRobot wins on MLOps with enterprise support, but open-source options win on cost and control. Finally, if you need deep learning for images and text or want full control over every model detail, coding it yourself in Python, TensorFlow, or PyTorch is still better. DataRobot is best for tabular data with business predictions. When it comes to improving DataRobot, I see a few functionalities that need attention. First, the pricing with access is a concern. Enterprise pricing starts at approximately $100,000 per year, which means startups, students, and small teams can't even test it. An improvement would be a real tier, like a $500 per month startup plan. Alternatives like AutoGluon and H2O.ai win here because anyone can try them. Currently, DataRobot operates on a try before you buy basis, which leads to a sales call rather than offering direct sign-up. The second improvement would focus on control versus AutoML trade-offs; while AutoML is fast, sometimes you need to tweak something in preprocessing, but DataRobot hides a lot under the hood. The suggested improvement would allow more granular control without leaving the UI, letting power users directly edit the blueprint code. I would like the ability to change one line instead of rebuilding the whole thing.

Centralized inference has boosted GPU efficiency and now powers faster AI products
Fireworks AI is an extremely strong tool in inference performance. However, initially, Fireworks AI's platform and tooling require some learning, especially for teams transitioning from traditional cloud infrastructure or self-hosted model serving. While Fireworks AI simplifies deployment significantly, understanding the settings and model configuration still requires some familiarity and a learning period. Another challenge I would address is broader integrations and workflow tooling around advanced fine-tuning pipelines, which would be a great addition to Fireworks AI. Fireworks AI's core platform is excellent, but some surrounding ecosystems are still evolving compared to more mature cloud platforms. While Fireworks AI supports open-source models very well, some custom-wise deployment might still require additional engineering work, which could have been better. Another pain point would be the pricing at scale. While Fireworks AI is excellent at the price point it offers, inference-heavy workloads with large-volume requests can become expensive over time, especially for teams starting out or for startups operating with a limited budget.
