Venkat Sivaprakash - PeerSpot reviewer
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.

Works at a tech services company with 201-500 employees
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.

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

"There are multiple levels of cloning. In case screen cloning doesn't work, you can do object-based cloning or keystroke-level cloning, depending upon what parameters are available to you and what is the level of information that you capture. You can traverse between object cloning, which is the lowest form of cloning to a stroke-based cloning, which is like taking care of each keystroke-level which is made by the agent."
"Automation Anywhere has benefited our company as we've been able to process thousands of transactions daily through various automations that distribute work, classify work, and handle claims, doing preliminary work for the finance team."
"Automation Anywhere has equipped us with amazing tools including Bot Insight, IQ Bot, Discovery Bot, etc."
"Our first automation removed manual work from employees, so they are now able to more quickly product quality work."
"We had some business users who created their first bot four weeks back, and they were thrilled; it was very easy for them because of the drag and drag, and they understood the process very well."
"The best features are the ease of use, the short learning curve, and the good support from our local partner."
"The immediate impact is administrative tasks which were traditionally done manually are now being done by robots. This reduces the workload for people."
"I don't think one feature is more valuable than any other. In my opinion, the value is in the totality of the platform. It is easy to use for our developers with a well laid out UI and many canned tools. The Control Room is very easy to navigate and mostly intuitive to use."
"The initial setup is very quick."
"The solution is very easy to use."
"The features I find most valuable within UiPath Platform are the logging and controls, and the ability to bring value to the firm extremely quickly due to the low-code, no-code functionality."
"The most beautiful activity is sentiment analysis, where we can predict the good reviews and the negative reviews."
"The solution is pretty stable."
"It has mainly taken the load off of employees, as we had a huge amount of tasks which weren't being done, and it provides our employees time to do their other work since we automated very manual things."
"Using UiPath saved me about 10 to 12 hours on a weekly basis, allowed me to delegate mundane tasks to personal automations and focus on more important work, and even meant we did not have to hire a person dedicated to those tasks, helping save costs and improving business operations."
"We freed up a lot of our sales team's time, they now spend half the time doing the job which has been automated, and this has made our sales team happy."
"OCR technologies and computer vision (CV) technologies work very well and produce quality results."
"I like how it integrates with the Orchestrator and everything works together. There are so many different use cases that we can easily connect through APIs, databases, and user interfaces to automate all kinds of applications."
 

Cons

"The product is not the best that it could be. There is always room to improve it a bit more. They are heading in the right direction with their innovations."
"The help Automation Anywhere offers during setup isn't great for smaller companies like ours."
"The GUI can be improved by making it more user-friendly."
"The Automation Anywhere community is less active than the UiPath community, which is a downside. When I ask questions in the Automation Anywhere community, responses take a longer time."
"One of the challenges that I face every now and then while working with A2019, is around the bot agent updates. Every week/alternate weeK, I receive an error while running my bots, that asks me to update the bot agent."
"There are improvements needed in error handling processes, as currently, they rely on start and end error commands."
"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."
"We could use more accuracy with IQ Bot."
"The solution should come with language customization, which would simplify its use for our customers."
"Currently, UiPath doesn't provide automatic notifications for known bugs in new releases."
"UiPath Platform can be improved in the Studio Web deployment process, as it needs some work."
"One improvement that could be made is in terms of keeping the documentation updated. Some of the online documentation is outdated."
"It cannot withstand in a situation like overloaded processes execution not up to the mark."
"When we compare UiPath Platform to some other automation tools in the market that are emerging, UiPath Platform has a steep learning curve to get started with."
"My overall thoughts regarding the licensing cost of UiPath Platform is that it is a bit more expensive solution compared to others."
"In UiPath they should improve the input and outputs of processes. I found it very complicated."
"UiPath Platform is stable, but we do experience some interruptions. Availability is around ninety-eight or ninety-nine percent, which is not quite ninety-nine point nine nine nine."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"It's an ideal pricing model to customize the components based on everyone's needs."
"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 paid separately for the Runner and Creater components. The final cost depends on the structure of your environment."
"In terms of pricing, this is a good product."
"In terms of pricing, it's not at all cheap, and that's a concern. The licensing cost is very high. While I don't know the exact prices of other tools, Microsoft offers the lowest pricing for its RPA platform compared to UiPath and Automation Anywhere."
"We have a few licenses. They cost roughly $10,000 each."
"It is the most economically friendly and it provides you with a lot of functions."
"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."
"There is no licensing fee for our customers."
"The solution has gotten pricier."
"They have been increasing the price. The explanation that they are providing is that they are adding more features. This works perfectly fine for customers who are looking for new intelligent automations, but there is another set of customers who are using UiPath for vanilla, plain automations. Offering them something that is not required and asking them to pay more puts a burden on them. That seems to be a problem for the customers. Many of them have mentioned this concern because it is increasing the prices of automation every year, which is not acceptable to all customers."
"Over and above the subscription fees, we're paying probably $51,000 a year right now."
"It is cheaper than Microsoft Power Automate and saves us between 50 and 70 percent on costs. UiPath's pricing is moderate and something everyone can afford."
"UiPath's licensing costs can be high, and to maximize their value, customers need a clear plan for utilization."
"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."
"I am using the free community version. The enterprise version is obviously a little expensive."
"The pricing differs on the requirements. If there is a huge purchase, then we get a discount. There is not a fixed pricing of the product."
