Automation has freed teams from repetitive finance and supply tasks and supports global operations
In the current organization, we had trouble initially because I think the documentation and support could be better than what it is now. This is one difference between Automation Anywhere and other RPA tools such as UiPath. In UiPath, if you have an issue, you go to the UiPath website and search for it, and you get lots of help materials. In Automation Anywhere, you do not get exactly what you are looking for. You get a very large number of results when you search for something, and from this large result set, you have to filter out what you need, or only partial information will be available. User handbooks are available for each product. In that regard, I would say Automation Anywhere is lagging compared to other RPA tools. It is difficult to get hold of their customer support team. I want to clarify that it is not a matter of us building logic on Automation Anywhere and it failing. When it is a product-related issue, they have to give us support because we only know how to develop within Automation Anywhere. We do not know how to fix Automation Anywhere itself. Whenever we have an issue, trying to get in touch with them always takes three to four business days.

Stable with good cross-integration between modules, but the training needs to be improved
We mainly use UiPath as our RPA platform. I have looked at several other solutions that include the bigger ones, Blue Prism, and Automation Anywhere. We have experience in developing bots in all three of these. It is difficult to move from UiPath to EdgeVerve when UiPath is so good at getting people in the door. They've got a great ecosystem and a great training model. Every other system is more challenging to use. To get an EdgeVerve license, for example, you need to have an NDA in place to use it. Blue Prism is even worse, although, with them, you just have to pay more money. By not democratizing the software and the way to utilize it, smaller companies like EdgeVerve and even Blue Prism, to a certain extent, have suffered in terms of growth. The three leaders at the top do a pretty good job. Outside of workflow, they do a pretty good job, and that's why the customers buy, so you have to be strong on those. As far as the tools are concerned, RPA is RPA, and everybody generally does it in the same way. What is probably going to start distinguishing between products is the use of AI. When AI really overtakes the selectors for RDA, robotic desktop automation, when you have to really rely on the backdrop of the DOM to get at the element, the use of AI and more efficient on-prem AI solutions is going to really make that a better experience. The on-premises distinction is important because there's latency when you hit the cloud. Ultimately, to me, the toolsets are all the same. Drag and drop, the ability to create custom activities in terms of creating your libraries, and that kind of thing, they're all there. This past year has been ridiculous in terms of how all of the tools have progressed. What they were a year ago versus what they are today, is a considerable and significant difference. For example, I have totally redesigned my solutions and architectures over the past year.

Automation has transformed document processing and frees teams to focus on higher‑value analysis
Sometimes, we encounter system errors that could be resolved via support, but connection issues are more frequent in enterprise applications. However, these can usually be solved by raising tickets if you are part of an enterprise, though we are not, which makes it somewhat challenging. It is vital to ensure the connections of UiPath Platform are maintained because it has a larger community. If UiPath Platform website included more features and documentation accessible easily, it would greatly enhance the experience. Instead of continually needing to raise support tickets, having a documentation hub where details can just be entered to retrieve required documents would be extremely beneficial.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"This product is easy to use, and it helps business users to more easily understand RPA."
"Support for Automation Anywhere is wonderful; I had an issue related to Chrome not working with the latest update, and they helped me extensively and even came on call to support me."
"Since it has capabilities to integrate with third-party applications easily, it makes the life of an automation engineer very easy."
"The most valuable thing about using this product is that we are able to use the time that we spent doing manual processing for other progressive purposes."
"From a manageability perspective, this solution is very good."
"The product is easy to use. It is a good tool for developers and business users."
"Automation Anywhere offers the capability of integrating the DLL files with meta bot and hence the developer can use DLL files to connect to applications likes outlook, SAP, etc"
"We are getting some phenomenal straight through processing, so we took what would have taken 30 to 35 people and are able to do that a little bit more accurately with about six."
"EdgeVerve is a bit like Appian, where they have full suites that have a great deal of functionality."
"I would say that the cross-integration between different modules, such as between the OCR, RPA, and ML, is the most valuable feature."
"UiPath has the simplest low-code user interface that I've seen in my professional life."
"What I appreciate most about UiPath Platform is the Use Application feature, which is new and helps with interacting with programs and websites more easily, a convenience we did not have in the past."
"UiPath Platform scales with the growing needs of our organization."
"I would assess the stability and reliability of UiPath Platform as excellent, as everything I've experienced so far has had minimal hiccups, and if there were issues, they have been user error rather than reflecting poorly on UiPath Platform."
"In the first year, we saved over $100,000 on the booking systems."
"We're still in the early stages with UiPath, but two things that will help are the Copilot and the Autopilot. We'll be able to generate new processes based on the learning that's taken place. It will have a significant impact on the things we do. Generative AI is not new to us. We've had these discussions for a while, and our CEO is well-versed in generative AI. Software companies are coming to realize the value and implement it."
"It enables us to implement end-to-end automation, starting with the process analysis, robot building, and monitoring of automations."
"As an implementor, we appreciate the rich feature set of UiPath and the strong training provided."
 

Cons

"Automation tools have a lot of dependency on the environment, particularly on machines. Reducing this dependency could increase success."
"I would suggest adding more fields while calling in API. There is no option to generate Authentication token within the Bot."
"I would like to see integration better integration with Excel and SAP."
"Automation Anywhere's frequent updates are unnecessary and disruptive."
"There are a lot of issues in the tool. There are a lot of breakdowns."
"MetaBot still needs to be optimized, though Version 11.3 did integrate all the commands into it. We are not able to see all the lines of code which are executed in MetaBot."
"Automation Anywhere has newly integrated the Generative AI feature. It should be more customizable. Currently, we can change certain parameters, but we would like to have the ability to do modifications within the LLM for better outputs."
"IQ Bot has been changed and enhanced for Automation Anywhere, but the accuracy is still not optimal."
"Better training and better accessibility of the tools are the things that need to be improved."
"As in my opinion, debugging needs more improvement. Also, if we get any other tool or technology which helps extract information from the scanned or handwritten document than that will be really helpful as a user and for our clients as well."
"Price could be an issue for large projects, but that's where you'll get a high ROI too."
"It can take a long time to get a response from technical support. They have to go through multiple hoops to get a solution, so that could be improved."
"There's some latency when changing from one page to another, so that could be improved."
"When it comes to document processing, they could work on more accurately identifying objects from PDF files."
"UiPath could add more interactive features that enable you to explore and design processes from scratch. There should be more features that support the digital transformation process from the design phase. In the current data panel, you need to start with a process that's already in place."
"One improvement I would like to see in UiPath Platform is the ability to connect databases directly to UiPath Platform, as we use SQL a lot, which would be helpful to link our transactions to what we're writing to databases."
"The support team could be more responsive and helpful."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Automation Anywhere falls within a mid-range price point when compared to other RPA tools on the market."
"It is reasonable, but it can always be a little bit cheaper."
"Our licensing costs are setup on an annual basis."
"The setup cost depends on multiple factors, so you need to get details before choosing."
"I don't deal have cost specifics but I can say it is a tool that provides value for the money."
"The cost of Automation Anywhere is high in Turkey due to the weak economy."
"Costs savings have been seen by employing bots for multiple shifts instead of people."
"On a scale of one to ten with ten being the most expensive, I rate the price of Automation Anywhere an eight out of ten."
Information not available
"UiPath is not the cheapest solution, it's more or less the most expensive one, but we get what we pay for."
"The price of both UiPath and Automation Anywhere is high. The basic package is included in the price, but in case you require any professional or golden package, you have to pay a higher price."
"The licensing is very affordable, especially when you compare its benefits. I know that AI units are purchased separately. We are still trying to figure out how to track our usage and which tier or plan to go with, but overall, it is affordable in comparison to other options."
"The solution is affordable enough to get a good return on your investment."
"Overall, I think that the pricing is reasonable and it is similar to competitors."
"This solution is not cheap but the price is worth it because by following the documentation and using the support, you get good robotic processes that are stable."
"Different licenses are used to activate features that the organization wants to use. For example, they offer licenses for UiPath Studio X, attended automation, unattended automation, document understanding, and so forth."
"Right now we only have a couple of Studio licenses and a couple of bots, so we're at about $8,000 USD per year."
