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.

Has faced challenges adapting to evolving capture methods and competitive integrations
It's difficult to say what I'd improve in Tungsten TotalAgility because we haven't been actively marketing that particular product in the last probably six to nine months. The speed of product development means that my experience with it is likely out of date in terms of the product suite capabilities. The difficulty with customers nowadays is that they are subject to the winds of change in terms of the adoption of cloud technologies and the offerings those cloud technologies bring. Microsoft, for instance, is rapidly filling in the spaces between various product areas that other vendors typically owned. That makes it difficult for customers to settle on their functional requirements because the offers are competing in the same space. I look for more integration with mainstream subscription based platforms, more security integration, and possibly some more lifecycle management features. However, the difficulty with that is the competition with existing options that people have in their subscription library.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"ROI is good and impressive after using automation anywhere RPA platform."
"Automation Anywhere has evolved significantly and upgraded itself to provide agentic AI and AI-based automation solutions for document automation, with modern features to train documents ensuring high accuracy and repeatability over time."
"The MetaBots are by far the most effective system within AA. Due to the fact that no scripting is required and only the passing of variables or values to get a definite result. IQ Bot with the ABBY OCR is a powerful component to do multiple extractions in the shortest possible timeframe in comparison to human execution of similarly identified tasks or operations."
"This solution is valuable because it can automate tasks which would otherwise be left for us to process manually."
"The most valuable features of Automation Anywhere are Excel, periods, database, and email action."
"Automation Anywhere has helped my company with APIs. We are currently in a project to create APIs for our core banking service and other transactional systems, migrating from another integration technology to API."
"The simplicity and ease of use is the most valuable part of Automation Anywhere."
"The technical support has been good in my experience. However, you need to use the latest version to get the right level of support. If it is an end-of-life version, you might not get support from Automation Anywhere."
"We like Mendix a lot; in terms of technology, it is really good, we find it intuitive and easy to use, and we are quite happy with the solution and look forward to moving to the cloud."
"When I often want to pitch Mendix, if there is something out of the box that is not available, I can always extend Mendix. Whether it's the front end or the back end, It can be extended with Java. I've also built many widgets using Mendix."
"Mendix isn't just an IDE or a coding language; it's a whole platform where you don't have to worry about hosting or monitoring your application, tracking project progress or user stories, as everything is essentially provided by the platform, and it has a very active community helping you out if you have any questions at all."
"I find the fast development speed and low cost to be very valuable features of Mendix. It's a smart solution for busy developers when we need to apply new changes or fixes quickly. Mendix helps to save time and meet project deadlines faster."
"Those making use of the solution are happy with it."
"You can scale the solution."
"Mendix has positively impacted our organization as we can construct or build prototypes easily, allowing us to do this in a short amount of time."
"What I like best about Mendix is that it's leading the way for low-code, no-code platforms compared to other solutions in the market."
"Since it provides both Capture and BPM on a single platform, it stands on its own in the business process improvement space."
"Its integration capabilities are valuable. It has low code/no code features. You have to do minimal coding."
"Being able to extract data from documents is great, and the capability of this tool is great as it can replace legacy applications and make everything very easy."
"It is user-friendly and has good documentation."
"We are currently processing over 60,000 invoices per month with no more than 25 individuals."
"It can be a good product for BPM; you can do BPM projects with it, do case management and capture extraction with Kofax TotalAgility, and it can also integrate quite seamlessly with third-party applications, so it is quite good."
"The most valuable features of this solution are automation, ease of billing processes with the process net, and low to no code development."
"Some of our clients previously spent about ten dollars per invoice for processing, but after using the Kofax Total Agility, I believe they are spending only about one to four dollars."
 

Cons

"Autosuggestion of existing use cases based on the problem statement could use improvement."
"Because we are very new to our process, so we're still sort of working through it."
"The EXE license is such that I can create executable files from the developer machine and deploy it; however, the file that you created can only be deployed to one system, so if you wanted to deploy this test file to, say, 10 test systems you would need 10 licenses."
"From an ease of use point of view, on a scale of one to ten with ten being really easy, I would rate the tool a six."
"We would like to have a better debugging facility."
"I would like to have the MetaBot screen name title dynamic instead of static."
"The debugging tools need to be included, for where and why it has failed to execute the bot in a clear manner."
"We have HTML mode and Window mode, but Automation Anywhere is limited in this. It would be better if they were able to provide different specification modes."
"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."
"We'd like to be able to write in C Sharp to develop code for Mendix."
"Lastly, the licensing model does not scale well with many users. This is a huge problem as apps that have many users become very expensive and can kill the business case."
"Customization is limited compared to traditional coding, and UI adjustments can feel restrictive."
"Reporting isn't Mendix' strong suite."
"I struggle with solutions like Mendix in terms of creating enterprise solutions."
"The initial setup is more complex. I've also noticed that people that have a first-time interaction with it find it more difficult to grasp."
"Mendix can be improved in that, while it is good at pricing, it lacks a small business budget project for startups wanting to build their portfolio."
"While the image, the field extraction, is really good in KTA, the OCR result is not so good."
"Kofax TotalAgility is quite vast and complex as a product."
"Even though it has good documentation, key things are not being noted perfectly."
"Lacks sufficient inbuilt features."
"Kofax should improve its handwritten extractions."
"The tool is not up to the mark at all for what we needed it for."
"There needs to be more accessible certification and better pricing for Kofax TotalAgility."
"Kofax TotalAgility could improve the OTR engine. The page OTR engine is not accurate in predicting the data properly. If you provide many features which are good for business process management without an accurate OTR engine people will not want it."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"I believe it is $10,000 for Bot Creator."
"We save 34,000 hours of time per year and have recouped up to $6000 in lost revenue."
"We have saved time and money using this solution."
"The major reason that we selected Automation Anywhere was the licensing model."
"It is expensive. I would rate Automation Anywhere an eight out of ten in terms of pricing."
"The cost of Automation Anywhere is high in Turkey due to the weak economy."
"It's somewhat pricier than some of the other tools that we've used, and the breakout between the different applications is also somewhat costly. If they can make it a little more cost-effective or bundle packages a little bit more, that would be beneficial."
"Initially, they charged a premium, but now the rest of the vendors have increased their overall pricing and Automation Anywhere is not that high at this time. It's pretty viable."
"Licensing costs are similar to those for all other IT technology, but they vary by region."
"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 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."
"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."
"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."
"Pricing used to be complex, but Mendix has improved that quite a bit."
"Mendix seems a bit expensive. But in terms of wanting to have less developers and higher velocity, the total cost of ownership is fine. It's not cheap, though."
"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."
"It is slightly more expensive than other tools."
"The licensing cost for Kofax TotalAgility is very expensive, though I'm unable to give you the range, the sales representatives of my company say that the product is quite expensive."
"It has a perpetual license. You pay once in a lifetime for the volume of scans you will do and the number of users you will have. You can have participants or regular users, and you can have developers and administrators. So, once you purchase it, it is for a lifetime, and then every year, you have to pay for the maintenance. There is an annual maintenance cost, which is about 18% of the licensing cost."
"Kofax TotalAgility is very expensive."
"The price of this solution is less than some of the competition."
