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.

Robust document capture boosts efficiency and integration options

The best features include multiple channel capabilities such as fax, different file transfers, and paper scans. It can be integrated with multiple channels and can capture images, even from mobile devices integrating into OpenText Capture. Currently, it has introduced AI for data extraction and document processing. OpenText Capture's impact on automating document-intensive tasks such as accounts payables or loan processing is significant. It has the capability to capture table structures or multiple line items from images, including line items and final amounts for invoice processing. The main benefits of OpenText Capture are particularly valuable when capturing content and extracting structured or unstructured data. This product can be integrated into any point-of-sale system, Salesforce, SAP, or other environments, reducing manual data entry and related tasks. This feature has helped organizations handle large volumes of data with precision, especially regarding resource consumption. The automation reduces human effort that would otherwise be required for classification and extraction tasks.

Automation has saved thousands of hours by processing bulk data and managing emails efficiently

The best features SS&C Blue Prism offers include powerful automation, easy-to-use process flow, and excellent integration capabilities. Data manipulation and handling is very easy and user-friendly. It is very secure, especially in handling sensitive data such as credentials. One of my favorite features of SS&C Blue Prism that stands out is its seamless integration with various systems. This includes features such as load balancing, encryption, audit, and spying modes. The capability proves to be a significant advantage when automating tasks across different applications and platforms, which saves a lot of time. The email handling feature is spot-on, and we are able to automate these tasks easily, saving a lot of time. SS&C Blue Prism has positively impacted my organization as it can easily handle a large amount of data, being very scalable. It also saves time through automation of email. It saved a considerable amount of time, more than 5,000 hours of manual work so far. It saved a considerable amount of money as well. The costing metrics will improve largely. It also requires very little coding. Instead of hiring new people trained in a specific tool, we were able to manage this with the existing workforce with a few weekend classes.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"Our clients are always happy with the product and its performance."

"It improved the task performance at a team level and improved productivity."

"We have solved many problems we had in the past before using Automation Anywhere, mainly we saved a lot of time and money, we reduced and minimized the risk of human errors and got rid of all the manual repetitive tasks so we can focus on the core of our business."

"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."

"Movement on cloud architecture according to me provided by AA2019, will be most beneficial as it will be easy to use and will provide flexibility."

"AA brings a lot of benefits for our organization in a number of different ways."

"As a solution, Automation Anywhere is complete for business users and developers."

"Automation Anywhere has improved my organization by automating many rule-based and nonjudgmental processes in domains like telecommunications, human resources, financial services, and daily or monthly reporting."

More Automation Anywhere pros

"It is a mature product and a leader in the industry."

"The automated version of the vendor invoice management is great, and it is helpful because it has reduced the human interaction in invoice processing."

"We use it to capture documents coming through our product and mobile channels and make them available for our business to access and email. We use it to automate the email workflow in our applications, pull the documents, and email them to the users."

"The solution is very powerful because it allows for custom scripting."

"The main benefits of OpenText Capture are particularly valuable when capturing content and extracting structured or unstructured data, and this feature has helped organizations handle large volumes of data with precision, especially regarding resource consumption."

"The enterprise and capturing feature of OpenText is its valuable feature. As we have integrated CRM with OpenText."

"OpenText Intelligent Capture is pretty good."

"It allows you to image capture, scan documents and use machine learning to automatically index and tie them."

More OpenText Capture pros

"I find the design studio, where I can build the automation, and the control room feature, which allows me to run and monitor the automation, to be the most useful."

"The key feature of SS&C that I find valuable is the general workflow visibility."

"We have converted manual processes into RPA processes, leading to significant time, money, and quality savings."

"Some important features include the language capabilities, which are crucial since RPA has to read the documents provided by the customer."

Cons

"We only faced some problems when integrating it with SAP, and Oracle integration was a bit challenging, especially with Oracle Fusion. We had some issues when we were trying to connect some of the applications on the API level. But, in general, integration using Automation Anywhere is fine."

"We've had some technical difficulties connecting, but that's more on our environment and how we have the machines and everything set up. It's not specific to Automation Anywhere. However, it's pricier than some of the other tools."

"The REST API could be improved."

"When we need to upgrade the bot version for various applications like SAP, the compatibility issues could be easier to resolve. The financial team is using version 5 or 6, but the automation engineer recommends only version 6 because it is more compatible. I think Automation Anywhere could handle these compatibility issues better."

"Our tool is a bit slow, as it's a legacy tool. Automation Anywhere is having some issues when running back."

"Many of our clients would want to see scalability in pricing, and while I could say cheaper, that's part of it."

"Since it is not an in-house solution for ERP systems or CRM systems, automating those things requires additional effort."

"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."

More Automation Anywhere cons

"We are using it to improve the image and the documentation for the cases. And sometimes, some cases have more than fifteen different types. We use some tools as fixed standard analysis and provide information to support the different types to take some decisions and help in an automated process. We choose the case type and subtype DNS scanning documents from the data entry up."

"The area for improvement primarily centers around licensing concerns rather than technical issues. Captiva, intended for larger clients, poses challenges for medium and small businesses due to licensing costs. The current licensing model is based on volume, such as purchasing a volume for one million dollars per year for scanning. This pricing structure may be prohibitive for companies with constrained budgets. Another aspect requiring attention is the mobile capture feature, which, although experiencing recent enhancements in intelligent document processing through AI, could benefit from further improvements. Specifically, there is room for enhancement in enabling users to efficiently capture documents using their smartphones."

"If something is handwritten and attached to an email, it doesn't capture the information correctly."

"I have not seen any return on investment from OpenText Capture."

"Knowledge of .NET is required to effectively use the solution or it can be complicated."

"It can be more user-friendly, and it should also have more reporting capabilities. There are also a few other things that need improvement."

"I would say what most of the document management solutions are lacking is smartness to detect the duplicate storage of the documents."

"Its functionality is good, but it has to be made more accurate. If it is not customized and handheld properly, the recognition and captures won't be accurate."

More OpenText Capture cons

"Regarding improvements, I perceive that the Desktop automation needs enhancements, especially in input stages for dropdown options."

"There is a need for improved integration with external systems in SS&C."

"Blue Prism is more costly than UiPath in terms of robotic licenses and orchestrators."

"I noticed that it lacks the ability to automatically record the process steps like some of its competitors."

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The licensing cost of Automation Anywhere is better than UiPath and Blue Prism."

"Automation Anywhere's price is considerably better than UiPath's."

"They have a ridiculously expensive bot licensing structure, especially for the Asian region."

"The cost for scalability is much cheaper than developing a new system."

"Because it reduced the time duration of our processes, our costs went down."

"The pricing is reasonable and one can achieve ROI faster when compared to other tools."

"It saves on the quality of work, because the quality can be bad when somebody's doing it. If a bot does the work, it's faster and comes with good quality. These are two important things along with the cost saving in the long run. That's where the value is."

"Automation Anywhere pricing and licensing are competitive compared to the other automation vendors."

More Automation Anywhere pricing and cost advice

"OpenText is an expensive solution."

"Some customers say the solution can get costly because it requires licenses or enterprise packages."
