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.

Automation has reduced manual finance work and has increased accuracy for high volume tasks
I am not sure if there is any disadvantage to UiPath Automation Cloud; I cannot say anything definitive. Sometimes when we upgrade our Studio version, there would be some issues when we use a new version, but I would not say there is a significant negative aspect. The latest issues with the new version involve glitches or latency that happen when we upgrade, and we face some issues that take time to fix. We have to open a new ticket and proceed through that process. As I heard, UiPath Automation Cloud is a little more expensive than other tools. I just heard this from other developer friends, but I have never used any other tools myself.

Cloud platform orchestrates business processes with AI capabilities
I find the capabilities that a normal orchestrator should have to be valuable in WorkFusion. The WorkFusion 10 cloud-based platform is different from the earlier on-prem version, WorkFusion 9. The platform now includes auto machine learning and AI capabilities. We haven't used these extensively, but they are a nice feature they are working on. The platform remains stable with well-designed processes, despite being a complex and technical tool.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"Non-developers can use the tool to create bots. Also, it is very easy for developers to use."
"An easy to deploy and learn automation tool that can save resources, effort and money."
"RPA platform with a good accuracy rate, variable management, and OCR feature. It has a straightforward setup."
"We are getting some phenomenal straight through processing, so we took what would have taken 30 to 35 people and are able to do that a little bit more accurately with about six."
"By providing the companies with such a useful and productive tool, they save a lot of time and money on tasks that can be performed by small bots."
"What really helps RPA to grow is the cognitive part of it. That's where the product is really good. Initially, it started out as RPA, but now there is a cognitive aspect to it. That's a key value to it."
"The scalability of Automation Anywhere, the framework, and user interface are particularly impressive."
"With the cash flow generated just on the one bot we had operating, it's paid for itself in the first month."
"When you use human resources, there is some chance people can make mistakes, but UiPath Automation Cloud robots cannot, as they are very fast and do their job correctly and efficiently."
"In general, the cloud migration has helped greatly, and overall UiPath Automation Cloud is a really good tool for enterprise-level automation."
"Functionality wise, I do not have any complaint about UiPath Automation Cloud because for the last seven years, UiPath has been my bread and butter."
"Recently, our recons team was audited, and when the auditing was done, the process done by the reconciliation bot was the only process that was passed by the auditor."
"The automation process is the most valuable feature."
"The dashboard is the solution's most valuable feature; when clients want to look at the data it's very easy for them to do so, and the dashboard for the IT manager is very useful if there are issues and to create and follow processes."
"Their robots have increased the rate of efficiency by two to five times in our organization."
"WorkFusion helps by speeding up processes. The process takes time. It has business costs associated because there are people waiting to take the next steps in the process. The end result of waiting, whether it is an internal or external team, is that they are delayed. Therefore, it helps us in speeding up business processes and improving employee morale, as people don't have to do repetitive work anymore."
"We have seen Workfusion improve on accuracy and compliance... With the Workfusion model, we reduce human error and the need for further QC. We switch more to a QA process where we're testing whether the model is effective."
"I would definitely recommend WorkFusion because I think over the last six months it has matured and it is stable."
"The customer support is very responsive."
 

Cons

"I'd love to see the ability to build web or mobile applications that are integrated with Automation Anywhere bots, so that a user can work on a web interface directly. Then, it can be linked to the Automation Anywhere bots in the background. They just hit a button, and all the data or information will be used by the bot to do some process in the back end."
"Automation Anywhere could improve its integration with Python and other programming languages."
"When you are implementing it initially, it's challenging as there's a lot of change management."
"One thing with the bot that we are always struggling with is the memory management."
"The OCR component should allow integration with 3rd party OCR. This way we can use the best of breed solution along with AA or allow better control over OCR packages to be customized."
"There is room for improvement when this application is used in a Citrix-based environment."
"There can be some options to connect to the database directly where we should be able to add some data."
"We encountered issues during the upgrade of the framework. We were using the older framework of version 10.3.5. When we were upgrading, we were having a few issues in terms of getting the proper hardware and software prerequisites. For some things, like getting the controls of some of the application's tools, we were getting Automation Anywhere's help."
"UiPath Automation Cloud needs to reduce the license cost. That is the first thing they need to concentrate on because many RPA tools are coming up in the market and some are much cheaper than UiPath Automation Cloud."
"The main concerns are cost involvement and a new feature called ScreenPlay. ScreenPlay works based on the prompt that we are giving, but it consumes more artificial intelligence units."
"Sometimes when we upgrade our Studio version, there would be some issues when we use a new version, but I would not say there is a significant negative aspect."
"One thing we didn't like was their OCR solution. We felt it's somewhat inefficient."
"It is complex for enterprise implementation. The solution needs a needs minimum, of 20-22 servers. It's no small task. This is not a straightforward setup. It's a large undertaking and there are many moving parts."
"I would also like for it to be NLP-based."
"I would like it if they provided a more detailed roadmap in terms of where they are going with the product. As we are trying to make decisions about the things that we are going to do to try to augment our capabilities, we could know whether they are thinking about the same things or not."
"I would rate the product as seven out of 10. It is definitely not a nine or 10 because there are certain shortcomings in it."
"The solution is not user-friendly, this is something they should improve."
"In low-code automation, most parts are not customizable, particularly when Excel is involved, which increases complexity. The system can break down, requiring numerous exception cases, thus complicating workflow creation."
"I would rate the stability as four out of ten. I frequently face issues with infrastructure and some WorkFusion-related problems, such as login issues."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"It's an ideal pricing model to customize the components based on everyone's needs."
"I advise others that even as of right now, the setup cost and licensing cost to automate bots on Automation Anywhere is steep but it is worth the investment!"
"The solution is quite expensive. Not every organization can consider this option."
"I think the solution's pricing is reasonable."
"It's cheaper than other similar solutions."
"The solution itself is free unless we want to add the support option but we have to pay for the bots we use."
"I'm not sure what the monthly licensing cost is, as that is taken care of by another team, but I would say it's around $100,000."
"They are already coming out with a community license, which is really good. That's something that I wish to have."
Information not available
"As a first-time customer who wants to engage with WorkFusion, not working for my company, then I would want to do a PoC. The cost is prohibitive because they will ask me to get infrastructure with six or seven servers. Then, you must buy a WorkFusion license to do a PoC, which is expensive. I would then have to set up a team to build the PoC and see the benefits. That is very prohibitive."
"The solution was not the cheapest, but it was also not the most expensive. Workfusion was very open to negotiating pricing and to working within the objectives of our firm."
"Find it online."
"I can't speak to pricing. It's a contract signed by upper management."
"We are on an annual contract to use the solution."
"We have a good deal from WorkFusion. We have an unlimited global licensing deal with WorkFusion. For us, it is a no-worry solution. We can go ahead and use it as much as possible anywhere we need it. If WorkFusion has a different kind of a deal for licensing with others, then their business decisions need to be evaluated based on that."
"One upgrade took a year to do, from the first server being built to the last bot being migrated. This was because we had to migrate all our existing bots. This is the same process and time frame that we are expecting towards the upcoming upgrade. I will end up spending half a million dollars to do an upgrade."
"They have a very expensive license compared to any other automation tool. For instance, at $50,000 - $60,000, you can bring in an Automation Anywhere solution. For this solution, you need at least $250,000 to get something going."
