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.

Developed and deployed AI agents through a unified platform that supports integration with enterprise systems
We used AutoML feature for developing AI models automatically, but we are not comfortable with the performance of those models. We have to do some fine-tuning, hyperparameter optimization, and other optimizations to enhance the performance of the AI models. We are not fully leveraging the automation being provided by Google Vertex AI for building AI models. Google Vertex AI has to be enhanced to support agentic AI system development. AI agents have to be developed through Google Vertex AI. Additionally, RAG support, vector database support, knowledge graph support, integration with enterprise systems such as ERP, CRM, PLM, MES, and other enterprise systems need improvement. Automated workflow generation and automation could also be enhanced. At this point, we are completely satisfied with the features and functionalities of Google Vertex AI platform, but as we move towards autonomous systems through agentic AI paradigm, Google Vertex AI platform needs to be improved to facilitate agentic AI system design, development, deployment, monitoring, observability, governance, and security.

Automation has streamlined complex workflows and delivers faster, more reliable onboarding
I think IBM watsonx Orchestrate can be improved by implementing simpler configuration for complex workflows and providing more flexibility when building custom integrations with internal applications. The monitoring and debugging experience could also be more detailed, especially for understanding exactly where a multi-step workflow failed and why. Regarding needed improvements, the overall user experience is fairly intuitive, but some advanced configuration areas have a steep learning curve for new users. I would also like to see more detailed, real-world examples in the documentation, particularly for complex enterprise integrations, troubleshooting, and production deployment patterns. Better production monitoring and more detailed troubleshooting would make a noticeable difference. More ready-to-use enterprise integration patterns and clearer guidance for scaling complex workflows would also help teams adopt faster.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"We have received 70 percent optimization using this solution."
"Automation Anywhere uses a single dashboard that you can access anywhere, and it also provides more insights versus other products, which is an advantage of using Automation Anywhere."
"Automation Anywhere is stellar and the pre-built bots on the bot store help reduce the development time and effort. The IQ Bot solution can read from scanned images and documents which has hugely benefited the mortgage processing team."
"When we compare other projects on other platforms versus Automation Anywhere, the technical support we are receiving in terms of efficiency, and even that they are giving us good price, this is what we are looking for."
"The training and resources for this tool are very good, they are so simple that anyone can easily learn it, and one of the tool values is its ease of use."
"It is easy to code. While you have developers, somebody with a development or workflow mindset can logically build a bot in Automation Anywhere by understanding how to put a process in a workflow. If you have that, then you can logically build a bot in Automation Anywhere. Even a non-IT or business user can just look at the bot language and understand what the bot is doing, and that's the easy part."
"We have automated a few processes, which take four to five hours to do manually, and when we automated these processes that time became less than one hour with RPA."
"We use AA Client, Bot runners, Control room, IQ Bot, Bot insights. With the AA Client, we are able to automate almost all kinds of automation requirements without any big challenges. We found the availability of the number of commands provided by AA is really helpful to do automation within a small time frame."
"It provides the most valuable external analytics."
"The monitoring feature is a true life-saver for data scientists. I give it a ten out of ten."
"Vertex AI possesses multiple libraries, so it eliminates the need for extensive coding."
"Vertex comes with inbuilt integration with GCP for data storage."
"The features I have found most valuable in Google Vertex AI are Gemini's large language models, which are currently among the best, and the vision tool of Gemini, which I consider quite good."
"The most valuable feature we've found is the model garden, which allows us to deploy and use various models through the provided endpoints easily."
"The most useful function of Google Vertex AI for me is the ease of integration, as we can easily create a prompt and integrate it into our current system."
"Google Vertex AI is an out-of-the-box and very easy-to-use solution."
"IBM watsonx Orchestrate can be orchestrated in conjunction with AWS services such as Amazon S3 and AWS Lambda, and it supports multiple hosters including Amazon, IBM itself, and Microsoft."
"The ideation page does not only store your ideas or give it a written form, but it is also a part of the project."
"For an organization that uses IBM, it is definitely a tool that integrates very well and clearly with the entire IBM suite, and beyond that it is also powerful because it integrates with all cloud providers without any problems."
"Regarding IBM watsonx Orchestrate's AI capabilities, I think its governance and security appear to be top-notch."
"For one of our onboarding workflows, the overall turnaround time came down by roughly 30 to 40%, primarily by removing manual handoffs and follow-ups."
"IBM watsonx Orchestrate is much easier for anyone, whether a developer or a consumer, to understand and use without prior knowledge compared to other platforms."
"IBM watsonx Orchestrate has positively impacted my organization by providing ease of implementation, configuration, and integration, making it very easy and possibly beneficial for the team."
"Regarding IBM watsonx Orchestrate's AI capabilities, governance and security are extremely valuable and top of the industry."
 

Cons

"The Excel part needs improvement because we use it as a database. Right now, we are using UiPath for this feature, as that RPA tool allows us to sort, search, and filter in Excel databases."
"I would like to see a global error handler introduced, which will explicitly handle errors over the entire project."
"Getting the bot design into the developer's hands is taking longer than we initially anticipated."
"The OCR can be a little better because sometimes while scrapping, it leads to data loss."
"Now, it is a big complex to download the product and install it, then again to install the patches. So, it takes a lot of time to download it."
"Automation Anywhere is a tool. It is not able to go ahead and extract the hand-written documents."
"Having better documentation that is more openly available would help. Often, it feels necessary to contact someone or search for documentation that is stored behind a login or in another location. It would be beneficial to have one centralized place for everything."
"Sometimes, the recorder from Automation Anywhere does not work well and is inaccurate. This should be improved."
"We used AutoML feature for developing AI models automatically, but we are not comfortable with the performance of those models."
"It takes a considerable amount of time to process, and I understand the technology behind why it takes this long, but this is something that could be reduced."
"Some of the tools should have more advanced settings available. Some are very locked into certain features and settings, and there is no customization."
"I've noticed that using chat activity often presents a broader range of options and insights for a well-constructed question. Improving the knowledge base could be a key aspect for enhancement—expanding the information sources to enhance the generation process."
"It is not completely mature and needs some features and functions. The interface needs to be more user-friendly."
"The solution is stable, but it is quite slow. Maybe my data is too large, but I think that Google could improve Vertex AI's training time."
"Google Vertex AI is good in machine learning and AI, but it lacks optimization."
"The tool's documentation is not good. It is hard."
"Better integration with other services can improve IBM watsonx Orchestrate."
"My experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing for IBM watsonx Orchestrate reveals that it is expensive."
"Regarding technical support from IBM, my experience is that it is poor. IBM support usually does not take me straight to the solution; it tends to ask many questions before providing a final solution, which can take many days compared to any others."
"The best things to improve about IBM watsonx Orchestrate are better debugging across multiple agent workflows."
"Personally, I would say it would be nicer if it could be cheaper because I was working on a hackathon project and I kept running out of credits."
"The customer support takes longer than is reasonable."
"Some of the support I needed was not provided in time, though it was eventually provided, and I had to follow up multiple times with customer support."
"Probably the documentation could be a bit lighter and maybe integrated with AI tools that allow immediate access to the answer."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"They are already coming out with a community license, which is really good. That's something that I wish to have."
"It is the most economically friendly and it provides you with a lot of functions."
"They recently launched a Community Edition, which is okay, but they should have done this a long time ago."
"As our team size increases, we may get some more licenses for the tool."
"The pricing of AA is similar to UiPath."
"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."
"Automation Anywhere is affordable."
"Annually, we are paying almost one million reais."
"The solution's pricing is moderate."
"The price structure is very clear"
"I think almost every tool offers a decent discount. In terms of credits or other stuff, every cloud provider provides a good number of incentives to onboard new clients."
"The Versa AI offers attractive pricing. With this pricing structure, I can leverage various opportunities to bring value to my business. It's a positive aspect worth considering."
