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.

Intelligent Automation SME at a financial services firm with 10,001+ employees
Cloud platform orchestrates business processes with AI capabilities
I find the capabilities that a normal orchestrator should have to be valuable in WorkFusion. The WorkFusion 10 cloud-based platform is different from the earlier on-prem version, WorkFusion 9. The platform now includes auto machine learning and AI capabilities. We haven't used these extensively, but they are a nice feature they are working on. The platform remains stable with well-designed processes, despite being a complex and technical tool.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"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."
"Its user interface is very understandable. Even a non-technical person can understand it. Everything in the user interface is self-explanatory. It is quite good."
"The drag-and-drop feature is valuable."
"Automation of such tasks helped in clearing the bandwidth of the users and requestors alike and saved a lot of to and fro just asking for the latest data."
"It's very easy to use. It helps streamline manual processes."
"It is very self-explanatory, making it easy for non-technical users to develop."
"For people looking for my recommendation for an automation product, I definitely would recommend Automation Anywhere instead of going for a more orthodox or older technology."
"Document Automation has had a significant impact on efficiency and productivity for us."
"The initial setup is very quick."
"The solution is very easy to use."
"The document processing engine is good. We're extracting around 70 data points from a given document, and we have an automated extraction rate of 80 percent for those fields."
"In our opinion this group are the leaders in providing RPA solutions."
"It is useful that WorkFusion provides the entire infrastructure, which allows me to focus on writing code without worrying about maintenance."
"WorkFusion helps by speeding up processes. The process takes time. It has business costs associated because there are people waiting to take the next steps in the process. The end result of waiting, whether it is an internal or external team, is that they are delayed. Therefore, it helps us in speeding up business processes and improving employee morale, as people don't have to do repetitive work anymore."
"The most valuable features are the recorder because it's user-friendly and the integration with other tools Excel."
"From a business point of view, we have accomplished what we wanted to."
"If you compare it to its competitors in the market, it is more Java-native."
"WorkFusion helps us in automating our business processes, so it helps in many ways, including lowering the cost of delivery, reducing the cost of operations by employing fewer people, speeding up business processes, and improving employee morale, as people do not have to do repetitive work anymore."
 

Cons

"There are a lot of issues in the tool. There are a lot of breakdowns."
"We need a native way in Automation Anywhere's framework to tie all that information together, including AI dashboard, governance dashboards, and document automation results."
"They need to improve the OCR engine which is not up to the market."
"One aspect I wish to mention regarding needed improvements is that Automation Anywhere currently works only on Windows systems."
"It may sound a little funny or weird, but one thing that we are thinking is we have to go to various websites and pick up relevant data from various websites using the bot."
"I would rate Automation Anywhere's support a four out of ten because the support is horrible for all customers."
"Bringing a DevOps model for bot implementation integrated through private bot store might be a good idea to improve the tool."
"We have a new feature share in Automation Anywhere, but it does not migrate automatically from the previous version to the new one."
"The solution should come with language customization, which would simplify its use for our customers."
"WorkFusion comes packed with certain libraries and .jars. At times, you understand that you're using a system in which a library or .jar is outdated and you need to upgrade it... They need to better manage quickly making changes in WorkFusion to accommodate a situation where other technologies are not supporting the platform."
"The problem with the solution is that it is agnostic, so it's not made for banks. Sometimes we are challenged because of this. We have to make everything from scratch to make it work for our clients."
"We would like to see further improvement in the area of running headless."
"So far, we have developed only one automation using machine learning. The results were less than optimal."
"Machine learning models for document-heavy processes have room for improvement because they require significant effort to train and update."
"It is difficult for non-technical users to use WorkFusion. If we really want to build automation, we definitely need Java developers. Their RPA is not for non-technical people. If I look at competing products, like Automation Anywhere, UiPath, Blue Prism, or even Power Automate, a non-technical person can build basic automations and deploy them. Since non-technical people can easily build basic automations, they can be deployed in no time. With WorkFusion, there isn't a similar feature that works well. One needs to write code from scratch to build automation. That is definitely a deterrent if we really want to do quick, dirty automation. I would not rate WorkFusion very high on their no-code, low-code paradigm. In this area, I would definitely expect them to improve."
"There could be better version control through their web platform. That is something that could be improved on. Integration from the IDE, e.g., from WorkFusion Studio directly into Control Tower, would be nice to have too."
"If WorkFusion goes down, it is a big problem."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"I have heard that Automation Anywhere is expensive."
"The licensing needs to be made simpler or shortened."
"The licensing fees are approximately $10,000 USD for between five and ten users."
"The certifications are free of cost."
"We have saved customers 400% in terms of time saved by implementing this product."
"The setup cost depends on multiple factors, so you need to get details before choosing."
"Automation Anywhere is expensive."
"The ROI is really good. We have saved time and money."
"There is no licensing fee for our customers."
"We have a good deal from WorkFusion. We have an unlimited global licensing deal with WorkFusion. For us, it is a no-worry solution. We can go ahead and use it as much as possible anywhere we need it. If WorkFusion has a different kind of a deal for licensing with others, then their business decisions need to be evaluated based on that."
"In addition to the licensing fee, there is also an implementation cost for each use case and technical support costs."
"They have a very expensive license compared to any other automation tool. For instance, at $50,000 - $60,000, you can bring in an Automation Anywhere solution. For this solution, you need at least $250,000 to get something going."
"My client is using RPA Express, which is available for them to use free of charge."
"We are on an annual contract to use the solution."
"I can't speak to pricing. It's a contract signed by upper management."
"The solution was not the cheapest, but it was also not the most expensive. Workfusion was very open to negotiating pricing and to working within the objectives of our firm."
"It is not the most expensive solution, but it is also not the cheapest."
