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.

Has improved development quality and speed but has introduced persistent IDE slowdowns
In recent years, the IDE has been more buggy and slower, and although there have been more features added, I would like to see more stability, as some areas that used to work for a fairly long time are now slower in my development, which feels like a step back. I choose a seven mainly due to the issues we've faced with slowdowns and bugs during development, while runtime has been very stable, and the overall output on Mendix platform is still good; there is definitely some room for improvement, and I would probably have given it an eight or even a nine if those issues weren't hurting my developer output for the past few years. Overall, Mendix platform is stable, but the IDE could be better.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"By using this solution for RPA, we can automate a lot of business processes, which helps achieve less time to market."
"One thing I appreciate about Automation Anywhere is that we do not need to run around with multiple platforms, because Automation Anywhere provides an end-to-end solution."
"Automation Anywhere helped multiple clients to save a lot of data entry time and have automated almost every repetitive task, and AA Control Room helped to manage the operations of both attended and unattended automations and have helped a continuous run of the bots saving hundreds of thousands of dollars."
"Automation Anywhere is a ten out of ten."
"The deployment of Automation Anywhere went smoothly. They were very supportive with the migration of all of our existing automations and also being there and supportive with the development of the new automations."
"Excel automation is especially helpful because a lot of small companies are still using Excel as their data storage."
"I feel that it save us time and provides ROI as a monetary benefit because it reduces FTE, the number of headcount working for a particular project."
"Human errors have been rectified due to bot usage."
"The best features Mendix offers in my experience include its readiness to go to market, which reduces the effort and time consumed in developing an application end-to-end."
"Its graphic interface, which allows you to develop rapidly and in a structured way, and the fact that it is an all-in-one solution, producing a system that is ready to run immediately."
"The initial setup is easy."
"In our biggest project to date, we replicated with somebody else, it took three years to do uncompleted, and we replicated it in about six months to build an end-to-end application for customer use."
"It gave the organizations I worked for the ability to create far more complex applications with a smaller team and in a shorter time frame."
"The development environment is model-driven. We can use the information from this for our business engineers to make the information models, and they can also execute the model."
"Mendix provides the ability to create solutions that fill gaps that I would otherwise be unable to address with standard software."
"The solution is stable."
"NewgenONE's document management and workflow approach tools are very useful."
 

Cons

"A2019 should have more improvement for developers, as it was in v11.x."
"The regional distribution in Turkey can be improved."
"I would like to see a global error handler introduced, which will explicitly handle errors over the entire project."
"I feel a lack of convenience when I try to scale it."
"One of the main concerns with Automation Anywhere is the lack of a robust feature for capturing and managing information from the user interface, something competitors like Blue Prism already offer."
"Their technical support is good, but it could be better."
"They could improve the learning curve."
"I think it is a little bit of an ongoing struggle, because we don't deal with the infrastructure. We have a separate infrastructure team that sorts all that out. So, sometimes there are communication issues just trying to get our internal IT team onboard to run through the installs and that sort of thing. But, definitely with the new cloud version coming onboard, we'll be looking toward going to that. Hopefully it'll resolve some of that friction that comes about through the install process and complexity."
"As mentioned, there needs to be an increase in the number of the UI components so that other platforms will not be used in place of the UI interface of Mendix, such as Angular."
"There needs to be an increase in the number of the UI components."
"Integration with external databases can be slow, and it burdens queries when trying to pull large datasets, thus slowing down page execution."
"There should be more integration with engineering applications and tighter integration for user authentication, such as single sign-on, etc. They have some of that. It just could be stronger."
"When a mainframe system with a very large database and batch process was rebuilt in Mendix, we came across performance issues."
"Mendix is great for internal applications but not so great for a public-facing interface."
"Mendix could improve by allowing the customization of different programming languages, such as Python and C++."
"While the documentation is good, the development box could be better."
"Setting up NewgenONE is still a technical task. Simplifying the setup process would make it easier for users."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The solution itself is free unless we want to add the support option but we have to pay for the bots we use."
"We paid separately for the Runner and Creater components. The final cost depends on the structure of your environment."
"When I started working on it, it was difficult to obtain a trial version (barrier to entry). Now, they have a Community Edition, which may make it easy to get started."
"There is an annual license to use the solution."
"Although the initial implementation cost of Automation Anywhere is relatively high compared to other options, its annual subscription cost is lower than UiPath's, which has the opposite pricing structure."
"This solution costs approximately $3,500 USD per license."
"The ROI is really good. We have saved time and money."
"We only deal in annual licenses. There are no pay-as-you-go licenses."
"Mendix licensing cost is based on the number of apps you have on the server. At the basic level, it is free of charge, so that seems reasonable, but once you go beyond that, and when it comes to the number of users on the app, that basic structure doesn't work, and the pricing tends to get a little bit steep."
"Pricing used to be complex, but Mendix has improved that quite a bit."
"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."
"Licensing costs are similar to those for all other IT technology, but they vary by region."
"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."
"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."
"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."
"Mendix is not open source, but its license cost is cheap, particularly when compared to the Appian license. The license model would depend on how many users you have and how many applications you are creating. If you are creating a single app, you just need to have a single app license, so it's free. If you want a multiple app license to cover two thousand or three thousand users, for example, internal users or external users, then you need to pay for the license. There's also a license model for above three thousand or four thousand, or five thousand internal and external users."
