Venkat Sivaprakash

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.

Analyst at a financial services firm with 1,001-5,000 employees

Creating low-code agents has transformed policy queries and now saves employees hours daily

What I would like to see is an ease by which I can have different connectors set up. Right now I have to do a lot of back and forth in order to have these connectors enabled. Having them by default on the platform would be very helpful for me. Also, when developing custom actions, having a developer portal where users can track the log of how the requests are being sent to custom endpoints created would be helpful because right now I do not have anything of that nature. It is just a final response that I get and it becomes very difficult to keep track of what is happening in the backend. Also, the latency that the platform offers is a little high right now. What I have noticed is that on a particular query, the user has to wait a long time in order to get responses. If there is a way to reduce this time and improve performance by decreasing the time for responses, that would be very good. I believe that the latency offered is a little high right now. If I can get prompt responses quickly, then that would be a real user experience enhancement. Also, what I have noticed is the problem that developers face when creating custom actions in Glean Platform, where we are not able to keep track of what is happening in the backend. A logger of sorts would be very good so that I can maintain an idea of what is happening in the backend. If that issue is resolved, along with also the issue of having custom connectors available from the start rather than going to Glean Platform and having conversations about the thing, then it would be very good. If these issues are resolved, then it would be a strong 10 out of 10 from me. But as of now, it will be an 8 out of 10. Glean Platform is a very capable platform. It is good for indexing documents and reducing manual workflows by incorporating an element of AI in it. Business usage can be increased as well. The one caveat is if there are developers who are creating actions on Glean Platform, then I must keep an eye on the logging that I have for the platform because interacting with the backend systems becomes very difficult using Glean Platform. Also, what I have noticed is that it is a real challenge in terms of latency as some of the responses may take a little while to load. However, what I have noticed is that the responses are usually very accurate, and so it is a trade-off between speed and accuracy. This is what I would advise to someone who is looking at Glean Platform.

Senior Business Process Automation Engineer at a manufacturing company with 10,001+ employees

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

"Speed is the most valuable feature. E.g., for a human, it could take around 60 minutes to create a report with a few errors. Occasionally, a person will miss something. With this bot, we can get the work done in around five minutes. So, it takes only five minutes for a report to scan and be created with fewer errors."

"Overall, Automation Anywhere is a very user-friendly and easy-to-use tool, and if clients are looking to implement automation into their business, I would definitely recommend Automation Anywhere over other tools because it is well-suited for their purposes and can be easily utilized."

"It has been able to save us time in our processes from hours to minutes."

"We have saved time and money using this solution."

"The features that we found most valuable have been just automating manual processes. We are able to integrate and work with applications that users typically work with. That has been the best feature for us right now."

"Automation Anywhere greatly improved our processing time since robots can execute process steps faster than human resources do."

"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 can be considered as one of the most stable RPA tools in the industry, according to the perspective of the limited amount of tools that I've used."

More Automation Anywhere pros

"When I searched for internal information spread across different systems, Glean Platform did centralize and retrieve that data for me effectively, giving me eighty percent accuracy."

"The best features Glean Platform offers include the ability to create my own agents, for example, I created a self-service agent for my stakeholders, so rather than email me, I sent them a link to an agent where the agent asks them questions and drills down to exactly what they need, and then I get a qualified response from them."

"The major impact that I have noticed is how business users are now being impacted and they are using the platform because they understand it easily."

"Productivity has really skyrocketed."

"Glean Platform has positively impacted my organization by speeding up a lot of repetitive tasks and making it easier for people outside of support to understand what kind of issues impact the support groups."

"The best features Glean Platform offers are mostly the view, which I think is very good, and what I find most helpful about the view is that the user interface is very good, making it very easy to chat with the chatbot and get all the material that I want in the way that I need it."

"Glean Platform has positively impacted our organization, especially in terms of productivity for both us and our customers."

"Glean Platform offers excellent user interface design and integration capabilities with other platforms."

More Glean Platform pros

"It is easy to go to the code level and write automations that only require a couple lines of code."

"It is stable when you create the bot in the first instance."

"My impression of UiPath's stability is good. Compared to some other automation vendors that I've used, I would say that UiPath is more stable and better."

"Robotic process automation is one of the most interesting features."

"UiPath Platform has impacted our organization very positively, with over 300 processes automated and around 3.3K FTEs saved, allowing humans to focus on more strategic and impactful work instead of repetitive and boring tasks."

"The low to no-code is by far the most valuable feature."

"From a process perspective, every single implementation that we have done has saved time: Anywhere from 50 to 90 percent of eliminating the process time."

"There is no doubt why UiPath is the market leader, it is very robust, flexible and has great learning material and documentation."

More UiPath Platform pros

Cons

"The bot scaling process was painful, when you go beyond a few bots, and because we had stability issues. We had to work through the issues, and they took us a long time."

"Automation Anywhere has to improve its technical features."

"Certain areas of the user interface require improvement."

"The error handling command on this solution still needs improvement, especially when compared to other platforms that are doing very well."

"I would like to have the MetaBot screen name title dynamic instead of static."

"Automation Anywhere has a lot of room for improvement. It is not customer-friendly."

"In the control room, the manual bot update should be looked at."

"Licensing can also become expensive and rigid as you scale, particularly for unattended bot runners and specialized cognitive add-ons."

More Automation Anywhere cons

"There are multiple ways in which Glean Platform can be improved."

"Glean Platform can implement more models. The NLP creation could be a little faster, and while debugging is amazing, the routing also needs to provide higher quality outputs sometimes rather than extensive searching."

"Also, the latency that the platform offers is a little high right now; what I have noticed is that on a particular query, the user has to wait a long time in order to get responses."

"In workflow agents, I would prefer that we do not use AI in every step and instead we have a toggle button or something which can configure whether AI should be used in this specific search field or not, or in this specific node or not, because currently it's using AI in all nodes which sometimes messes up the output."

"My experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing is that the licenses were expensive, and it was hard to convince the company to adopt based on that."

"I chose seven out of ten because if I could upload PDFs and have them analyzed, or have it integrate with my Gmail and help me go through my emails, that would be very useful, but I do not think it does that."

"Currently, Glean Platform does not integrate with Teams, Microsoft-owned platforms."

"Sometimes Glean Platform gets slowed down."

More Glean Platform cons

"The user interface needs to be more customizable, and the debugging tool doesn't work well enough. It needs some improvements."

"What could be improved in UiPath is the release or update because my organization noticed that a few minor bugs occur from time to time, mainly on the development side. UiPath releases need to be improved."

"Initially, our technical account manager was not the best, and some things happened that still have a sour taste in my mouth from three years ago."

"I would love to see UiPath Platform improved by having a better mobile application. Currently, while the web portion is available, the mobile app needs significant improvement."

"One area that could be improved is how we access the UiPath Academy courses."

"One feature I think it needs - from a documentation perspective - is the ability to easily extract variable details and data... Sometimes it's difficult to extract those, and if you're not tracking them while you build, you can quickly get into 200 to 300 variables in use, especially using the RE Framework where you're passing workflow arguments in and out. I would like to see something like that."

"I don't know if it's UiPath as much as just what we do is really complicated. Even the consultants that we've used with UiPath, even they've said, wow, this is very difficult what you guys do. There are a lot of moving parts, so it's not as much of a UiPath problem in terms of limitations. It's just our own processes."

"The cost of full deployment is high and there is room for improvement."

More UiPath Platform cons

Pricing and Cost Advice

"We are a partner of Automation Anywhere and find the pricing to be reasonable."

"Because it reduced the time duration of our processes, our costs went down."

"The pricing and licensing are definitely moderate to costly but easily recoverable by achieving ROI quickly."

"We're paying a monthly subscription fee for the bot and for services. There are no additional costs beyond the standard licensing fee."

"Our pricing a year ago was $600 per license."

"It is the most economically friendly and it provides you with a lot of functions."

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

"We have seen ROI on one of the process, but not on the other processes yet."

Information not available

"The licensing costs for the unattended bots are a little too expensive."

"I'm not sure about licensing and pricing, but the pricing for their certification is a little bit more. Previously, we could do it for no price."

"Overall, I think that the pricing is reasonable and it is similar to competitors."

"Go download it, install it, and play with it. You can't do this with any of the other platforms."

"When I started with UiPath, there was a desktop model, and we did not have to purchase Orchestrator. Now, there is a bundle or package of Orchestrator with attended or unattended robots, so the cost is a little bit on the higher end. They are selling the Orchestrator model or the admin model. If someone wants to purchase the standalone or desktop model, they cannot do that, so the cost is on the higher side, but if we purchase more licenses, it gets reduced. If we purchase fewer licenses, it will be high."

"If you want to start doing RPA, I think you should definitely go with UiPath because it has the Community edition. You can just install it and check whether or not your process works fine with UiPath. It will be an attended bot, but you can form an idea whether your bot can easily be automated."

"The main reason we went ahead with UiPath was the pricing... the pricing of the paid version was not that high. It's low- to mid-level pricing."

"I believe that the price is on the higher side."
