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.

A scalable solution which is easy to install and use
I do not use the solution personally as I am not the end-user. It is merely one of the solutions that we offer to our customers. We act as consultants, solution providers. We have around 60 customers who are using the solution. I would, for sure, recommend the solution to others. I consider the profile of the project to be quite good at the moment. I rate Another Monday as a nine out of ten.

Manager Rpa at a retailer with 10,001+ employees
Significantly reduces manual effort and improves team workflows through automated ticketing
We've used Agent Builder, IXP, and Maestro for orchestration. We have created context-grounded searches or chatbots using context grounding, and we also use context grounding within an Agentic flow where a bot or agent reads ServiceNow tickets to determine whether it has been assigned to the right work group. If it has not been assigned correctly due to human error, it automatically reassigns it to the right group. I would assess Agentic AI's ability to extract data points as effective. We created an agent for the purpose of extracting data, though not in a document. We created what we call an email conversation agent that engages with a customer, vendor, or someone in an email conversation with a set goal of extracting specific data points for an action to be performed subsequently. The one automation we have deployed in production involves the agent interacting with team members to collect data points and create a ServiceNow ticket. We appreciate almost all features of UiPath Platform, with one of the most successful ones being the use of Coms Mining. Most of the new features related to AI have all been good, and we use Agentic. We have already created a few agents and have started to use Maestro for a few flows, though we are not yet there to orchestrate an end-to-end workflow. We have good ROI from the automations we have developed with UiPath Platform, which far exceeds the investment in the platform. It has saved us tens of thousands of hours in manual effort, making the team members happy to pursue other things of value.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"With the help of these features, we can automatically fetch data from invoices and websites, which is followed by the automated data entry into the webpage and ERP system."
"The benefits include a reduction in tedious tasks and manual handling of tasks and time savings."
"AA has improved our efficiency and saved on manual hours because no manual interaction is required."
"Our organization used to have a process which took five business days to do: our monthly pricing update. This was a very manual process. Our very first bot built was to automate this process. Now, the bot runs in the background every month and the process takes less than a day to run."
"Before, there was about four to five resources to extract it, now, with automation, this has helped us reduce the time to two to three minutes, then the work will be done."
"Since it is based on the cloud, it is a highly scalable product. It is easy to deploy, has a very good UI, and the bots can be easily deployed with no issues."
"We have found that the automation bots we have developed give great savings in terms of higher productivity and efficiency."
"Automation Anywhere has improved our organization by allowing us to reduce the number of new hires, enable us to keep the same workforce, and increase productivity."
"The initial setup is very quick."
"The solution is very easy to use."
"And the UiPath user community is the best. The people there are very friendly and helpful, and engage with each other. UiPath has done a good job building a good forum and a good blog, and making the community members interact with each other. The community is one of the reasons UiPath is my choice. It is a strong community."
"Document Understanding has been particularly helpful, and so has UiPath's ability to interface with other applications. AI is the next phase. Document Understanding can only process about half the documents that come in. We need the AI component to start helping so that the half we can't process has a methodology on what needs to be done with it."
"UiPath has helped us improve our efficiency, and the quality of our deliverables has increased by many folds."
"The Screen Recorder has a lot of different features like web and desktop, Native and Citrix Recording are pretty useful for speeding up the design process, Computer Vision using Microsoft and Tesseract are pretty useful, and the new release of Studio X is a game-changer because this new app focuses on Business users and is going to be useful for the organization because they can start creating their own automations."
"The steps, documentation, and information are pretty straightforward when it comes to the product, so there is no ambiguity."
"We are saving approximately three and a half million annually based on the number of hours saved multiplied by a salary base rate."
"It's definitely added some efficiencies; it's added the ability to do jobs without having to worry about error handling and process tasks on a daily basis without having somebody having to be responsible for it."
"UiPath helps in doing quick installations, quicker deployments, and quicker turnarounds, and ultimately it really helps with digital transformation for any organization."
 

Cons

"If the option were available to use the old generic-style variable type, it would be helpful."
"One area where I can see room for improvement is the training material that is available."
"There is a limitation with Automation Anywhere where if you want to build your own packages and deploy them, it is very difficult."
"I would like to see GitHub or GitLab integration in the next version."
"The scheduling is a little difficult at times."
"We've had some technical difficulties connecting, but that's more on our environment and how we have the machines and everything set up. It's not specific to Automation Anywhere. However, it's pricier than some of the other tools."
"Queue management is still missing from the latest version which is a barrier to using the platform to start implementing complex cases where you have parent and child transactions going through multiple stages."
"The main request I have for Automation Anywhere is to focus more on technical demonstrations."
"The solution should come with language customization, which would simplify its use for our customers."
"The UiPath Community does not provide version control for the community edition."
"We have to change our account representative every year, which is frustrating. We have to re-explain our business every year."
"They still need some improvement in their new version of UiPath Studio, called StudioX, to improve design for Excel and email automation work."
"I would like to see improved support and cost management for advanced certification."
"While not a negative remark toward UiPath itself, our initial partner was limited in helping us achieve our goals. We are now directly working with UiPath support, which has been exceptional."
"They're just starting to add a lot of AI functionality, so there's definitely room for improvements in leveraging the latest AI technologies - like GPT, et cetera."
"This one area is lacking, but I attribute this to the constantly evolving platform."
"I would like to see anything that can increase the reliability of the processes."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The certifications are free of cost."
"It's a bit expensive compared to other RPA tools on the market."
"We save 34,000 hours of time per year and have recouped up to $6000 in lost revenue."
"Automation Anywhere is cheaper than UiPath and Blue Prism. From a market point of view, Automation Anywhere is reasonable. Any organization can adopt Automation Anywhere."
"Automation Anywhere is costlier than the general competition. That is aligned with the share of the market it has."
"The cloud-based version comes at an increased cost, although our clients are happy with the new features and have not complained about the pricing."
"The price of this product is good."
"Yearly, our licensing costs are about $90,000 to $100,000. There will be additional licensing costs when we add more Bot Runners to our infrastructure."
"There is no licensing fee for our customers."
"From what I know, UiPath's licensing has a reasonable cost."
"UiPath's licensing costs can be high, and to maximize their value, customers need a clear plan for utilization."
"The UiPath license is expensive."
"Comparatively, UiPath's pricing is higher than other tools."
"Our licensing costs are roughly 1.1 million Danish krones a year."
"The vendor gave us a 30-day money-back guarantee. We were fine with that. We saw improvement during that time and kept the solution."
"It is super cheap for the value you get. Their free version is good enough to implement. When you are building a solution, it takes months of effort, and sometimes, it takes years. Its free version is good enough for you to test out everything, so when you are developing, you do not need to pay. After that, there is a Pro version at $420. It is reasonable for the value it is offering. Their basic support is also very good, which comes with the Pro version. The Enterprise license is suitable when you need a hundred automation licenses. It is also reasonable. They give good pricing when you negotiate."
"It used to come at a high cost, but now it's more budget-friendly."
