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.

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.

Document processing has accelerated contract reviews and enabled rapid development of AI-driven supply chain solutions
With regard to security, compliance, or governance features in Azure AI Foundry, this is something that we have started looking into, primarily using Microsoft Purview for our governance, data governance. There is this new module called DSPM for AI, and we are exploring it while trying to operationalize it with different policies and so forth, but we're still not where we want to be on the governance, AI governance side. It's a process and a path, and we are trying to work through that right now. Azure AI Foundry can be improved from the governance perspective, as a lot can be done. The promising part is the recent announcement on the Foundry control plane. A couple of days back, there was an announcement regarding it bringing in some of the gaps that were on the platform, so it's a really positive direction in terms of where it's going. More governance is what is lacking, but the control plane will really play a big role there.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"Some of the really impactful features of working with Automation Anywhere are the ability to design and partner with their experts to come up with our solutions."
"Some processes that have taken 24 hours for our guys to do, now take seven to eight hours for our bots."
"We have an automation that we just put in production where we are doing a double-blind quality review, and the bot is comparing the two entries and kicking out a large number of exceptions for human review, so we have saved a large number of hours every day by not having humans look at things that match."
"We have had a massive return on full-time employee resources that we have saved by just using Automation Anywhere."
"A valuable feature of Automation Anywhere for my needs is IQ Bot because it covers most of the semi-structured and structure data. That's where we are struggling a lot. So, IQ Bot is a very good solution to know and bring onboard for the automation of unstructured and semi-structured data."
"It has saved our HR department time since this process automatically happens without anybody's intervention. Our HR department is able to devote their time to more productive work or activities. It has also saved a lot of costs since every employee in the HR department is involved in the attendance and payroll process. Second, the process is now no more human dependent."
"Automation Anywhere has saved us a lot of time, money & efforts by automating our ServiceNow tickets."
"The cognitive automation gives us an edge towards intelligence using IQ Bot, and this allows us to integrate and give a combined solution to a customer."
"With just one single platform, Google Vertex AI platform, we can achieve everything; we need not switch over to multiple tools, multiple platforms, as everything can be accomplished through this one single platform for integration with existing workflows, systems, tools, and databases."
"The most valuable features of the solution are that it is quite flexible, and some of the services are almost low-code, with no-code services, so it gives agents flexibility to build the use cases according to the operational needs."
"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."
"It provides the most valuable external analytics."
"The best feature of Google Vertex AI is the ease of use, along with the integration with the rest of the Google ecosystem and the way models can be made available outside Google through endpoints."
"Vertex AI possesses multiple libraries, so it eliminates the need for extensive coding."
"Vertex comes with inbuilt integration with GCP for data storage."
"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."
"With Document Intelligence, we just went through Foundry, enabled Document Intelligence, and we were able to get everything done in less than 90 days for the complete end-to-end solution we built on that."
"Azure AI Foundry is flexible and helped me reduce the time taken for AI app and agent development through the integrity and integration of various applications that we are able to achieve."
"The feature of Azure AI Foundry that I prefer most is the guardrails, as it is much easier than the one that Bedrock in AWS provides."
"From my experience, there are features that stand out for me, as the fact that it connects to ConnectWise is strong and integration is the strongest part."
"The features of Azure AI Foundry that I appreciate the most include the containment of all the agents and the ability to see all agents in a single dashboard and to have access to all of them from one portal."
"These features have benefited our organization by allowing us to release new products and new offerings this year, accelerate our growth, and quickly drive our AI agents into customers' hands."
"The most beneficial feature for enhancing our customer experience is that it is easy to use for them and for us to implement."
"Azure AI Foundry has helped reduce the time taken for AI app and agent development cycles by approximately 50% for one use case."
 

Cons

"They should do more on the cognitive side. If they can keep adding more features, that would be their greatest advantage."
"Giving access to our internal websites was not simple during the initial setup."
"We have still not explored Automation Anywhere to its full potential, so I will restrict myself from commenting on improvement areas at this time."
"It is a bit wonky with HTML when I'm working with it. There are times when it's not able to detect the technology that we are using. I don't know whether it's an Automation Anywhere issue or an internal issue. I want it to work smoothly with more technologies."
"There are a lot of things that need to be improved, especially related to the Control Room, but you can develop and scale with this tool very, very fast."
"The error handling command on this solution still needs improvement, especially when compared to other platforms that are doing very well."
"My experience has been that if the person who codes the bot is not very well-trained, then they might create unstable bots."
"I would definitely say Citrix automation is one area we have continued to struggle with for the last two months."
"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'm not sure if I have suggestions for improvement."
"It would be beneficial to have certain features included in the future, such as image generators and text-to-speech solutions."
"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."
"The tool's documentation is not good. It is hard."
"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."
"We used AutoML feature for developing AI models automatically, but we are not comfortable with the performance of those models."
"Azure AI Foundry can be improved by adding educational features."
"For Azure AI Foundry, there is no actual clear pricing structure, which can be confusing for customers to understand, as every feature that you activate has its own price, and it is not very clear sometimes to define the pricing."
"Right now, because of the UI and the complexity of it, it is complicated and cumbersome, and I think figuring out how to simplify that would probably make it a faster process."
"Even though I have only been utilizing Azure AI Foundry for the past four months, I think the understanding between Copilot Studio and Azure AI Foundry is still somewhat unclear regarding which one to use when and why, and how they complement each other is a journey we are currently undertaking."
"I would evaluate customer service and technical support as terrible. Whenever I have to reach out to customer support, I end up waiting sometimes days for a response, and our 24-hour response time often turns into three to five days."
"I gave it a seven because whenever I needed to build a multi-agent system, the prompt flow that would control the chain of command between the agents had to be built inside the AI Hub."
"The deployment process for Azure AI Foundry has been very challenging. There are many issues with policies, and because we have very stringent controls, we need to know exactly how Azure AI Foundry works before we can deploy it."
"I would improve Azure AI Foundry by adding more functions within Foundry itself, as right now it is quite basic in what it does."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"We have saved time and money using this solution."
"The cost is affordable, which makes an easy barrier to entry for the RPA market."
"The licensing cost of Automation Anywhere is better than UiPath and Blue Prism."
"It is somewhere in the middle. The price and value of Automation Anywhere are better than UiPath. The pricing is good globally. It could be a little bit cheaper, but it is good."
"It's cheaper than other similar solutions."
"Automation Anywhere falls within a mid-range price point when compared to other RPA tools on the market."
"Their overall pricing falls in the middle of the market. Cost-wise, Automation Anywhere is quite expensive because of their analytics, IQ Bots, and MetaBots. For a standalone machine, the pricing is okay. When adding in the licensing for IQ Bots (or MetaBots), it can become quite costly."
"The Automation Anywhere license is affordable and not complex."
"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 price structure is very clear"
"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."
"The solution's pricing is moderate."
