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.

Low-code platform has accelerated enterprise app delivery and has reduced team size
Mendix has evolved as much as possible, and they are currently planning to automate tasks using AI agentics and other features. Every day presents a learning opportunity for developers using Mendix and the teams involved in improving the platform. One needed improvement I have noticed while working with Mendix is in native mobile development, which still lacks features available in other development environments like Android Studio or Flutter. Certain components that should be available in 2026 are still not present in Mendix, making it difficult to explain limitations to customers. This aspect needs further attention, especially for native mobile development.

Automation has reduced CRM workload and now streamlines multi‑agent customer operations
The best feature that Microsoft Copilot Studio offers is its security and compliance. The security and compliance features stand out for me because my data resides in the Microsoft ecosystem, so while agent creation produces output from Claude, GPT, and other sources, my data remains within the Microsoft ecosystem. Microsoft Copilot Studio's governance and security are excellent. In terms of accuracy and reliability of output, Microsoft Copilot Studio is excellent.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"I like the diversity. Every year, maybe even every six months, new modules are introduced to the program, and module enhancements are added to the toolbox to make automating various applications or situations easier."
"Automation Anywhere aids in handling repetitive tasks, contributing to productivity and enhancing customer service, especially when combined with methodologies like Six Sigma."
"I like the OCR feature, where we can capture information from PDFs."
"Automation Anywhere offers the capability of integrating the DLL files with meta bot and hence the developer can use DLL files to connect to applications likes outlook, SAP, etc"
"My clients have seen ROI, as what would take them two to three days in work is now taking them two to three hours."
"I like all of the features, especially the MetaBot, REST API, and SAP DLL."
"Customers also are looking for the kinds of solutions that help enable their workforces to be more effective."
"The majority of Indian companies are showing a lot of interest in recruiting students who are trained in this Automation Anywhere RPA tool."
"The solution was good in our tests but we could not get a hold of the company for further inquiries."
"They see faster time to market for new software, improved maintainability, and higher user satisfaction as the main improvements."
"I also worked on another platform where deployment could easily take hours, yet with Mendix, it was minutes."
"I enjoy the low-code nature of the product; it's user-friendly, very easy to handle, and the product was easy to set up."
"You can scale the solution."
"We respond much quicker to challenges, our clients are more profitable and our staff love the opportunity to model and not write boring repetitive code."
"They are leading in the smart manufacturing, and connectivity space."
"It is a development platform which assists in accelerating your developmental lifecycle. This is one of its most valuable features. This solution also offers a good set of components that are readily available."
"Microsoft Copilot Studio has helped enhance my development process quite a lot."
"The integration part in Microsoft Copilot Studio is something I really appreciate because it's very easy to integrate with anything, and the main reason we chose this Studio is its simplicity in developing and building workflows and interconnecting things, especially when it comes to public cloud; life is quite easy."
"The use case involves intelligent code assistance, UI, UX, and integration parts."
"Microsoft Copilot Studio positively impacts my organization by reducing resources, allowing us to use a single Microsoft Copilot Studio agent instead of ten staff members."
"We have achieved approximately 60 to 70% productivity gain using Microsoft Copilot Studio."
"Starting with Microsoft Copilot Studio for product projects, especially for POC and MVP, accelerates the creation and demonstration to clients, helping them interact with and understand the solution before discussing further improvements."
 

Cons

"The GUI can be improved by making it more user-friendly."
"The initial setup was not that great. The road was very up and down."
"An option should be provided to disable the flow and dual-mode since those are not used often by the developers, and hence take up extra space on the screen."
"We have observed that AA gets locked sometimes."
"Maybe not improved but I heard that the 2019 version is going to look more like UiPath, which is not ideal for a typical/classic developer."
"Their OCR is a bit expensive, meaning the IQ Bot."
"We've had a lot of issues with the installation and performance on a variety of computers, onshore and offshore. Our network bounds multiple domains, and we've had issues there, as well. So, we are looking forward to the web-based development versions."
"As a developer or user, I feel that the performance of the overall package could be made a little better or reliable."
"There are not enough developers who are using Mendix. The knowledge base available online and in the market is not as rich as other competitors."
"Mendix could improve by allowing the customization of different programming languages, such as Python and C++."
"Needs multiple database connections so an app can directly read/write data to/from multiple databases. This would enable easy splitting of big applications that have complex entity relationships."
"A constraint of Mendix is that you have to look for the required plugins which takes up development time. There are a limited number of Mendix experts in the market."
"From Mendix 6 until 7, options on creating mobile apps have improved, but offline capabilities are not mature enough."
"All software applications have their hiccups, including the Mendix Studio Pro developers program."
"I would also like to see automatic adjustment to the Java Heap, whenever an application load becomes too much for the application. It could also use hot database replication."
"It is expensive."
"Microsoft Copilot Studio sometimes gets stuck after going into longer sessions, which should be addressed by Microsoft."
"I feel that the pricing and licensing methods of Microsoft Copilot Studio are not very conducive."
"For analytics, I prefer using the Power BI platform instead of Microsoft Copilot Studio."
"While Microsoft Copilot Studio can create documents and add information, it does not do so accurately, and this is an area that needs improvement."
"The price for Microsoft Copilot Studio can definitely be improved, as small organizations find it very difficult to manage the subscription."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The product’s pricing is reasonable."
"Its cost is good."
"I do not know the price, but I am told that it is cheaper than UiPath."
"We were paying approximately $30,000 for a year license."
"We have seen ROI in terms of cost and time with a couple of our projects."
"The setup and licensing cost is affordable, and it is not exaggerated like UiPath."
"The certifications are free of cost."
"There is a free trial so that they can get an overview, and there are different licenses that are very affordable and can suit every business model."
"Initially, we started with a year for approximately $25,000, and if we need to expand the number of seats then we will increase it."
"Its cost is higher than competitors. The cost mostly includes licensing. It is charged per user. The cost model could be better. When you have a big company, what does per user mean? If I have a company where I have 40,000 people who will go to access it but only 200 do, how do you license it and who do you pay for? If they hit it once, do you pay for it? The licensing is complex for a big company. It is easy for us to buy all we can eat, get an enterprise license agreement, and call it good."
"I would not recommend the solution to small and medium-sized businesses because it’s expensive. It’s great for big organizations. I rate the pricing as a three out of ten."
"Pricing used to be complex, but Mendix has improved that quite a bit."
"Licensing costs are similar to those for all other IT technology, but they vary by region."
"From a commercial point of view, we would like them to change that they currently sell it as a platform, but as a customer you have to decide upfront the usage of the platform. We would like to have Mendix sell it as a pay as you go model: You pay for what you use, and you don't pay for what you don't use."
"There is a license required to use Mendix. The solution's price is high, but it is best suited for enterprise companies that have the budget. It is not for small or medium-sized businesses."
"The solution is a bit expensive compared to others"
