Management Consultant at Accenture

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.

With an easy initial setup phase in place, the tool needs to provide functionalities like web scraping to users

It is a very scalable solution. In ElectroNeek, you can build your project in modular programming or with the use of sub-programs. You can have a lot of sub-programs that make up a whole project. If you don't wanna use the drag-and-drop activities, you can use JavaScript or Python instead. So it's very useful when you are working with things such as SPS. Actually, you can write scripts to support all the product functionalities with Python and manage the product's functions. You will find a company named Apollo Studios on the website of ElectroNeek. I think they are one of the best companies in South Africa that entered into a partnership with ElectroNeek.

Automation has transformed manual reporting and data extraction into scheduled digital workflows

The interface of Fortra's Automate is similar to GoAnywhere. I am not completely pleased with it, although it is intuitive, but it lacks something in terms of complexity. There is still clicking through many items involved. There are two things I would improve in Fortra's Automate. One is about the interface, as I need it to be improved because it is somewhat complex to navigate. The second is about performance reporting. I want those reports to be customizable. You can generate these reports and see what is happening with error logs, but the customization option is limited. Additionally, there should be an option to export them. Currently, you can export as Excel and PDF, but there is no option to export and send them to your email.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"We have had a very good experience with Automation Anywhere and we are very happy with the solutions."

"It saves us man-hours, headcount, and processing time, and we have automated the equivalent headcount of 500 FTEs since we started, with those people doing different types of work activities instead of being laid off."

"The bot creation process is simple and useful. Whatever you need to do, it is there. If there is something else, there are the MetaBot functions."

"A user can easily adopt this technology and utilize it, when compared to the other available resources in the market."

"This tool provides us with easy accessibility for adopting the new process, as it is more user-friendly, and many new resources are able to grasp the tool and start doing the automation with ease, which is basically missing in the other vendors' tools."

"We have some bots which are saving a week or month of multiple employees' times."

"Workflow automation has helped a lot with cost reduction, greater accuracy, and delivery speed."

"The solution's most valuable feature is its ease of use."

More Automation Anywhere pros

"We find the OCR feature very valuable, due to the corrector recognition that it provides; this is very useful for document processing."

"The most valuable feature is the price."

"I would advise others to go for it and just implement it; it is a really good solution."

"It's a very stable product."

"ElectroNeek was extremely easy to use, especially its UI was easy to navigate with limited training."

"The cost is the best thing about ElectroNeek."

"The product's setup is straightforward."

"The solution is user-friendly with a really good UI and ID."

More ElectroNeek pros

"Regarding errors, there is a sixty to sixty-five percent chance that our errors get resolved by Fortra's Automate by default."

"Overall, this is a pretty nice product and I really recommend it because it is very easy to use."

"The best feature of Automate is its ease of use, which is a major selling point."

"This tool has machine learning and voice recognition and computer vision, which are both quite useful aspects. These aren't available in other tools. It's a good addition to this tool and it gives the solution an edge on the market."

"We use it for specific cases, mainly secure file transfers, which are vital for us. And it works for us."

"Customers of AutoMate will realize their ROI within 90 to 120 days from their go-live date."

"The peace of mind I have using Automate for scheduling tasks allows me to focus on other responsibilities without worrying about operational issues."

"The automated analytics have helped improve our business processes since it has increased our efficiency by automating our everyday tasks, freeing up time for us to focus more on strategic activities such as analyzing data and developing new business strategies."

More Fortra's Automate pros

Cons

"Getting the bot design into the developer's hands is taking longer than we initially anticipated."

"In terms of speed in Automation Anywhere, I feel it is taking a slightly longer time."

"There is a small thing from a development point of view. There should be a static site box for finding any command if I am writing a code. If there are hundreds of functions, you can only scroll up and down to find one each one. There should be a site box where we can find the commands and easily use them."

"When I used this tool in the bot, it did not work. I got this issue when using the document automation learning instance."

"The certification exam for AA is not as per the training videos, as the questions are more scenario-based, which makes it very hard for beginners to clear the exam after just tutorial knowledge."

"Applications like Microsoft Power Automate do have zero-code systems. I've not done much research on Automtin Anywhere in comparison. However, if Automation Anywhere could also have something of that sort, that would be a game changer."

"One area for improvement in Automation Anywhere (AA) is its monitoring system. It's not that good. Both scalability and stability are also areas for improvement in the tool."

"The A2019 in early releases had been quite unstable to our experience."

More Automation Anywhere cons

"The solution works well with Google Chrome, but not with Microsoft Edge, which is the browser we use for automation."

"The integrating capability of the product needs to be improved, to ensure that it works with all systems involved in a process."

"ElectroNeek comes with three activities and we cannot add activities like we can with uiPADs."

"Its price could definitely be lower."

"The solution needs to improve its stability."

"It's not applicable to very large enterprises and for difficult work or more complex processes."

"The pricing is an area with a shortcoming, and from an improvement perspective, it needs to be made cheaper."

"When I wanted to use web scraping for tables in web applications, I found through online forums that such functionality or activity is currently not working as it shows."

More ElectroNeek cons

"Areas that have room for improvement in Fortra's Automate include that advanced transformations sometimes require custom scripts, as the pure no-code option is limited."

"I would like the updates to be easier to deploy. Integration with Amazon S3 is somewhat lacking."

"The interface could be more user-friendly and easier to navigate."

"I currently have three bugs open with them that I don't know if they are addressed in the new release."

"One aspect I dislike about Fortra's Automate is that debugging slows me down."

"It's possible that they could use a stronger community for seeking guidance and help."

"The intelligent automation feature could be improved. It's interesting because it's simple, but the automation quality isn't always good. It's easy to use, but sometimes you need to make a slight improvement to the automation, and that's not so easy."

"One thing I dislike about Fortra's Automate is that it does not perform well with OCR software, which is optical character recognition."

More Fortra's Automate cons

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The cost for scalability is much cheaper than developing a new system."

"It's very good in terms of cost and pricing."

"Automation Anywhere University is pretty good. They make it available free for everyone."

"As our team size increases, we may get some more licenses for the tool."

"The pricing that we received from Automation Anywhere in the beginning was very economical for us. We've seen a lot of benefit from what we spent to what we're receiving. From the beginning, it's been a very low-cost implementation for us."

"We are restricted to use one license on one PC. However, if my license is not working, I want to be able to use it somewhere else. This would be a nice improvement to the licensing, as other competitors in the market have better licensing terms."

"I believe it is $10,000 for Bot Creator."

"The major reason that we selected Automation Anywhere was the licensing model."

More Automation Anywhere pricing and cost advice

"My company has made a payment towards the purchase of a license from ElectorNeek."

"I believe we had a Silver Membership or something similar annually."

"It's very affordable and the licensing is billed on a yearly basis."

"On a scale of one to ten, where one is cheap, and ten is expensive, I rate the pricing a seven."

"I give the price an eight out of ten."

"Its price could definitely be lower. Its licensing is on a yearly basis. There is no additional cost to the standard licensing fees."

"While solutions like UiPath and Blue Prism cost around $11,000-$12,000 for each license, this product costs around $7,000 and you can keep it forever."

"From a distributor's side, one of the biggest selling points is its price point. Without going into any numbers, compared to UiPath, Automation Anywhere, and Blue Prism, we're significantly cheaper. The main difference is that other competitors usually charge you per process. However, in Automate's case, it's priced per bot. So, a bot can run multiple processes at the same time, but you are only priced for a single bot."

"I like the way this solution is priced because you can buy a license, or you can buy the software outright."

"It comes with a package that costs approximately $20,000 USD per year."

"The pricing is quite reasonable. We can run the process with one bot. The limitation is at the server level because they have some resources, and sometimes that is enough. It isn't too expensive, so you can get a good return off of one, and you can also have a pack of five bots that is quite competitive."

"It has gone up in price. The price of Fortra's Automate has increased since we first started using it. It does a lot but also costs a lot. It was a lot more affordable before Fortra owned the software."

"I believe the price falls within a reasonable range, which significantly influenced our decision regarding the product. This aspect is crucial for any technological solution, especially in our country where enterprises might be hesitant to invest heavily in something untested or uncertain about its practicality and potential returns."

"I'm only involved in running the product and maintaining the systems, so I can't speak to the cost."
