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.

A highly scalable product that helps organizations solve problems easily and produces a high return on investment
Sometimes, the initial setup is hard. We don't find the components to solve the exact problem. We need to get some scripts. It can take time. The time taken for deployment depends on the processes. Complex processes take days. Sometimes, we get processes that can be completed within hours. We usually get complex processes.

Automation has transformed document processing and frees teams to focus on higher‑value analysis
Sometimes, we encounter system errors that could be resolved via support, but connection issues are more frequent in enterprise applications. However, these can usually be solved by raising tickets if you are part of an enterprise, though we are not, which makes it somewhat challenging. It is vital to ensure the connections of UiPath Platform are maintained because it has a larger community. If UiPath Platform website included more features and documentation accessible easily, it would greatly enhance the experience. Instead of continually needing to raise support tickets, having a documentation hub where details can just be entered to retrieve required documents would be extremely beneficial.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The benefit of using Automation Anywhere is the efficiency of operations and speed."
"The saving of efforts within my project has been to the tune of 20% as of now and I am sure that it will improve as we explore the tool more and automate many more processes."
"When our organization switched to Automation Anywhere, the accuracy rate improved and consequently, there has not been much data loss."
"Value for time: with the help of Enterprise A2019, we can get instant value."
"Tasks now don't depend upon the unavailability of certain employees/colleagues to be completed. Also, bots can run all day long which also affects the overall budgets."
"We have saved around 90% of the time that would be required to perform tasks manually."
"Bot Runner - The Bot Runner is the machine where you run the bot. You could have multiple bots running in parallel. You only need the Run License to run the bots. The bots report back the execution logs/pass/fail status back to the control room."
"It has helped us to save a lot of FTEs for our solutions that we have provided to our companies. Suppose a job which was done by a group of eight to nine people on a daily basis for 24 hours was taking a lot of time, so we created a bot with Automation Anywhere. It was done with a bot working 24/7. It reduced the numbers of guys required to do that process."
"The product helps us solve problems easily and immediately."
"A complete and agile solution for companies of any size."
"The product has freed up employee time. It’s likely freed up more than a day, an average of 12 hours at least. That’s 12 hours per day. It allows our employees to focus on more high-value work."
"Now we have vendor PDFs that are automated by UiPath which reduce the cost and save time on a three-FTE basis."
"Its intuitiveness is great. This solution is very user-friendly. There is almost no need to have programming knowledge."
"The useability is very good - even for non-technical people."
"The features of UiPath Platform that I appreciate the most are IXP and unstructured documents, which help us tremendously to resolve one issue with high ROI in our company, and that has even earned us a banking-level award."
"UiPath offers many valuable features, but the most valuable is the accuracy of its workflow process."
"The work of downloading movements of more than 100 accounts of the banks took several hours of work daily, but now it has been reduced to a few minutes of an unattended robot that sends all emails with the movements of the accounts of all the banks classified and ordered to users before their workday begins."
 

Cons

"The mobile application can be improved by adding more functions and capabilities because right now, only a few features are enabled for mobile users."
"In the age of AARI and Automation Anywhere 2019 IQ Bot, the biggest challenges for me and my company are understanding the product and implementing it at the right place."
"Regarding my experience with the pricing, setup cost, and licensing of Automation Anywhere, I have some concerns about the product licensing model."
"The Image Recognition functionality should be enhanced to improve the accuracy of checkboxes."
"We have found that the passwords are not very stable in terms of their accuracy. We could only get 70 percent accuracy in these cases. Our clients require more accurate results. We are working toward this."
"Initially, the implementation was tough."
"We want it to work with more APIs. It needs to integrate with multiple APIs. That would be something that I would like going forward."
"We have trouble with large volumes of data in Excel and are not getting good results."
"The solution must provide more AI services."
"Recently we were trying to add AI Fabric into our production Orchestrator, but we faced a lot of challenges. We had to involve the UiPath support team in the upgrading process. We were quick movers to upgrade to AI Fabric, as not many companies have done that. There were some bugs that we discovered during our upgrade journey, and that's how UiPath came to know about those bugs. It was a little bit tricky, but UiPath's team is always present and helps along the journey."
"From my team's perspective, and from talking to a few others here at the UiPath event, the area that probably could be improved is the support system from UiPath."
"Automation operations have gotten more expensive due to the fact that we added UiPath to them."
"We would like to use several modules of UiPath, but they are very costly. All the additional features that we need are there, but they are in the modules that we have not bought."
"VM was on the service for high density. It is finicky at times. The latest release is a lot more stable. However, I've had a two week production outage where DLLs weren't registered and someone from Vegas had to login for eight hours onto the fraud service to work it out. Even though they uninstalled and re-installed it, all the different apps still wasn't working. So, I have lost a bit of faith in it to be honest."
"The operations need to be improved."
"Orchestrator needs to have better integration to include business users."
"I had an instance when UiPath crashed on my computer. Then, the code that I was working on also crashed."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"There are a lot of savings in terms of effort and time as well as costs. Automation Anywhere automates a lot of processes. It allows an organization to save the efforts of a lot people. It saves a lot of time because people can't work a whole day (24/7), but Automation Anywhere bots can."
"The pricing is fair. My company is part of a big organization, so the pricing is very advantageous."
"The setup and licensing cost is affordable, and it is not exaggerated like UiPath."
"Automation Anywhere might have a higher upfront cost than some competitors, but its extensive features and seamless integration with other tools can save organizations money in the long run."
"The setup cost for this is onetime and licensing is based on your choice of product."
"The licensing cost of Automation Anywhere is better than UiPath and Blue Prism."
"Automation Anywhere's pricing falls within the mid-range, but the long-term benefits outweigh the initial investment."
"It is somewhere in the middle. The price and value of Automation Anywhere are better than UiPath. The pricing is good globally. It could be a little bit cheaper, but it is good."
"The product is cheap in Turkey."
"In India, where I am from, UiPath is expensive. But customers in other regions, like Europe or the US, will not find it so expensive."
"The pricing is good. They offer a Community edition that we currently use, which is free. Their paid pricing is pretty affordable for businesses as well."
"UiPath's cost is moderate."
"UiPath is starting to price itself out of the market. It's getting expensive. That's fine if they continue to push the envelope of what they offer, but it's all about perception. And the perception over the last two years with my customers is that it's expensive."
"It used to come at a high cost, but now it's more budget-friendly."
"I began learning UiPath with the Community version, which is available free of charge."
"I would like to have transparency in pricing. We're creating a lot of robotic process automation use cases all over the place. I'm never really clear on what the pricing model is and the skews."
"UiPath has a free community version."
