Streamlined tasks and optimized transaction handling with user-friendly features
Pros and Cons
  • "It has been really useful for traditional RPA, which remains our forte."
  • "Automation Anywhere has benefited our company as we've been able to process thousands of transactions daily through various automations that distribute work, classify work, and handle claims, doing preliminary work for the finance team."
  • "Automation Anywhere could be improved by staying more current with Microsoft products through packages."
  • "It still uses old, deprecated Microsoft components that have an end date."

What is our primary use case?

We have use cases for Automation Anywhere in underwriting claims, HR, IT support, and various other areas. It's mixed. 

We completed our first document automation POC this year with Automation Anywhere. We don't really use it extensively yet. The use case we were trying to use it for did not work that effectively, however, that is probably more of a use case identification and selection issue. 

We were trying to apply Automation Anywhere to a catch-all contract-reading program. There were no good requirements, and we simply wondered if it could read the contract. While it could read contracts, we didn't have good planning for what to do with the information once we created it. We didn't have the human loop elements set up for exception handling at that time, which made it challenging.

How has it helped my organization?

Automation Anywhere has benefited our company as we've been able to process thousands of transactions daily through various automations that distribute work, classify work, and handle claims, doing preliminary work for the finance team. When an adjuster first sees it, they don't have to access multiple systems to gather information because the automation has already completed that task. It has been really useful for traditional RPA, which remains our forte.

What is most valuable?

What I appreciate most about Automation Anywhere is how easy it is to use and test, particularly the debug feature. I've been doing considerable development this year. It has been easy to put together looping and if logic. 

What needs improvement?

Automation Anywhere could be improved by staying more current with Microsoft products through packages. There have been challenges with their email package. For a long time, they didn't have an effective one, and with new Outlook releases changing how Microsoft handles emails, the package hasn't been updated to accommodate these changes. It still uses old, deprecated Microsoft components that have an end date. 

There have also been struggles with other Microsoft suite applications, such as SharePoint. They moved from their old REST to a graph API, and the packages aren't configured to accommodate that out of the box, requiring the use of generic API commands instead of the out-of-box packages.

Learn what your peers think about Automation Anywhere. Get advice and tips from experienced pros sharing their opinions. Updated: May 2026.
894,830 professionals have used our research since 2012.

For how long have I used the solution?

I have been using Automation Anywhere in the company for six years.

How are customer service and support?

Automation Anywhere helps overcome challenges with decent sales representatives who make calls on a cadence, and we can set up meetings easily. They provided technical architecture consulting for a few hours with some of our leaders.

Which solution did I use previously and why did I switch?

I didn't use another solution before choosing Automation Anywhere. Currently, we are also using Microsoft Power Automate extensively.

How was the initial setup?

The deployment was fine. We had to get some servers set up to deploy some service accounts created to have the bot runner licenses and set up some users in the control room. It really wasn't that complicated.

What's my experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing?

For what we have in the traditional RPA space with Automation Anywhere, the pricing is good. The licensing hasn't caused any concerns. I'm not familiar with the pricing of the agentic features as we don't have them yet. For the traditional functionality, it has been feasible.

Which other solutions did I evaluate?

We considered UiPath six years ago before choosing Automation Anywhere. I didn't personally evaluate UiPath as that was before my involvement. Automation Anywhere is more robust and functions more as a platform for integration, embedding, and orchestration. Power Automate is faster to set up and cheaper for our current uses. It doesn't necessarily work better with Microsoft products than Automation Anywhere does.

What other advice do I have?

The main challenge we were trying to solve when implementing Automation Anywhere was entering the emerging space six years ago. Currently, we're determining our path forward with agent process automation and AI. We have an AI council and are still determining where it fits into that picture.

In the age of agentic AI, our company's biggest challenges include getting buy-in and understanding across the organization. All decision-makers and stakeholders need to understand what's possible, what competitors are doing, and how the industry landscape is changing. There aren't necessarily challenges with the software itself. It requires funding and getting people who make decisions to see the vision.

We don't have the AI Agent Studio feature of Automation Anywhere. AI governance is extremely important in our company and has been somewhat of a blocker. We've been working to form a council and determine how our company will use AI, which remains an ongoing process.

We don't have AARI for autopilot capability and have never utilized Automation Anywhere COE, Center of Excellence. We are deploying Automation Anywhere to the cloud. We aren't using API with Automation Anywhere yet, mostly focusing on RPA, though we're considering API usage.

I would rate Automation Anywhere an eight out of ten overall.

Which deployment model are you using for this solution?

Public Cloud

If public cloud, private cloud, or hybrid cloud, which cloud provider do you use?

Makes it easy for our accountants to develop automation and focus on high-value tasks
Pros and Cons
  • "The valuable features of Automation Anywhere really are around the ease of use. Our RPA program focuses on citizen development, and all of the developers have full-time jobs as accountants, and then they work in automation on the side when time allows."
  • "As a solution for process automation, it's been very easy for us to use, and I don't think that we could have done it with any other solution."
  • "I really appreciate the user interface of Automation Anywhere, but I would like to see some improvement on some of the automation around screen processing. This includes adding some artificial intelligence on the way that bots actually can read the screen and know when things change and be able to adapt to those changes."
  • "I would like to see some improvement on some of the automation around screen processing. This includes adding some artificial intelligence on the way that bots actually can read the screen and know when things change and be able to adapt to those changes."

What is our primary use case?

Our primary use cases for Automation Anywhere focus around accounting and finance. We have some that have moved into our land department focusing mainly on lease records.

How has it helped my organization?

The benefit has been in terms of the bot taking a job that someone was doing and being able to move that person into another position. We have also seen a department with ten people being able to do the same work with two people. We were able to move those other people to more value-added tasks.

What is most valuable?

The valuable features of Automation Anywhere really are around the ease of use. Our RPA program focuses on citizen development, and all of the developers have full-time jobs as accountants, and then they work in automation on the side when time allows. 

The benefits of using Automation Anywhere focus on error reduction and moving people to work on more high-value tasks. We haven't focused so much on eliminating positions, but actually moving people to more valuable tasks. It helps to take away things that normally take a lot of time for someone to do, but don't add a lot of value to their job.

What needs improvement?

I really appreciate the user interface of Automation Anywhere, but I would like to see some improvement on some of the automation around screen processing. This includes adding some artificial intelligence on the way that bots actually can read the screen and know when things change and be able to adapt to those changes.

For how long have I used the solution?

I've been using Automation Anywhere for around six years.

What do I think about the stability of the solution?

Automation Anywhere has been very stable for us. Control rooms are up, and we haven't had any issues or major issues where we had significant downtime.

What do I think about the scalability of the solution?

Automation Anywhere scales very easily as we grow with our program. We're able to add bot runners as needed, as well as control rooms. It's very easy to add additional resources for the program.

How are customer service and support?

Automation Anywhere support has been very good. We're able to put in tickets and request support, and we'll have a support engineer contact us and help us resolve our issues. 

I would give them a nine out of ten. The initial contact might often be a chatbot, which would be our initial response. However, many times, we need to talk to a real engineer to resolve our issues. Overall, it's been very good. Sometimes the chatbot can help you resolve your issues without having to further escalate.

How would you rate customer service and support?

Which solution did I use previously and why did I switch?

Before Automation Anywhere, we did not have any kind of automated solution. Our audit partner came back and said that we should be doing some automation using an RPA product. At that point, my boss asked me to figure out which was the correct product for us to use, and we started our journey there.

How was the initial setup?

During our deployment of Automation Anywhere, the first and most important thing that we did was to make sure that we got everyone trained. We spent a lot of upfront time training our developers, and that really paid off in the long term. We ran them all through Automation Anywhere's university, so they did all the online training, and then we brought Automation Anywhere in and did classroom training for our developers. That really paid off in dividends, and we were able to end up with a good developer base.

When we started with Automation Anywhere, we were on-prem with version eleven, and then we migrated to the cloud with A360. We saw a tremendous increase in productivity by going to the cloud. We currently aren't using any other cloud providers.

What about the implementation team?

We primarily focus on natural gas production in Pennsylvania. Our office is located in Fort Worth, Texas. We have around 57 automations in production at this point.

What's my experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing?

The pricing that we received from Automation Anywhere in the beginning was very economical for us. We've seen a lot of benefit from what we spent to what we're receiving. From the beginning, it's been a very low-cost implementation for us.

Which other solutions did I evaluate?

When we started our journey with Automation Anywhere, we evaluated UiPath, Pega, and Automation Anywhere. We brought all three in to do a proof of concept, and from that, we determined that Automation Anywhere would be the easiest to use for our citizen developers. After the Automation Anywhere proof of concept, one of our accountants went back to her desk, and she was able to create a bot on her own.

What other advice do I have?

My advice to other companies that are looking to purchase Automation Anywhere would be to make sure you have a champion for your process automation program so that you can get support throughout the organization. Automation Anywhere will be a trusted partner to help you through that process. 

I would rate Automation Anywhere a ten out of ten. As a solution for process automation, it's been very easy for us to use, and I don't think that we could have done it with any other solution.

Which deployment model are you using for this solution?

Public Cloud

Flexibility in managing automation projects has improved operational efficiency
Pros and Cons
  • "From my perspective, the most valuable features in Automation Anywhere are the ability to connect to different systems of records."
  • "I am confident that we are saving several million dollars as a result."
  • "Automation Anywhere could improve by incorporating better integration with DevOps."
  • "What we currently have with Fortress IQ needs to mature more, and I say this since people spend weeks creating PDDs documentation."

What is our primary use case?

The company called me to work on the goal of restructuring the team and putting everything in order. When I joined this team, I needed to assess the current state of the program, and I essentially had to reorganize the entire program. Fortunately, that's what I've been doing right now; I have experience managing Automation Anywhere, and it's a great tool for automation since it gives you a lot of flexibility to work with different applications.

What is most valuable?

From my perspective, the most valuable features in Automation Anywhere are the ability to connect to different systems of records. We are using it at a very basic level; we only use RPA and are not using Intelligent Automation or AI yet; it's not part of my contract. Document Automation is still growing and is not, from my perspective, 100% mature, yet the basic functionality of RPA is amazing. I really appreciate how you can connect and interact, regardless of the system of record, infrastructure, or platform, and that has given us a lot of power to help the organization interact and eventually automate their processes.

What needs improvement?

In terms of reducing manual work, I think Automation Anywhere could improve by incorporating better integration with DevOps. This is functionality; it's a methodology that cannot be integrated 100% with Automation Anywhere, and a lot of companies are requiring that right now. I think Automation Anywhere is in the right direction, however, a better task mining tool would be great. What we currently have with Fortress IQ needs to mature more, and I say this since people spend weeks creating PDDs documentation. If we had a user-friendly tool that could record sessions and generate PDDs in minutes, it would greatly assist our processes. I have seen tools similar to that, not with Automation Anywhere. It would be great to have it.

For how long have I used the solution?

I started using the RPA Automation Anywhere in 2017, starting with zero automations. After seven years, we've ended up having around 120-some automations.

What do I think about the stability of the solution?

My assessment of the stability and reliability of Automation Anywhere or its bots depends on how you define your development strategies. If you have good best practices, reusable code, an effective framework, and a solid development methodology, bots can be very stable. We do have some bots that fail, however, they generally fail since we weren't good developers or due to a glitch in the system, not due to the fact that Automation Anywhere failed. We see issues. That said, those are often related to server maintenance and upgrades.

What do I think about the scalability of the solution?

In terms of how Automation Anywhere scales with the growing needs of my organization, in the cloud, I don't see much problem; the cloud will scale based on our needs. The only concern I see is probably on the Bot Runner side; I need to support VMs, and my team is working to migrate those VMs to servers. This change will help me scale since I can have multiple Bot Runners on a single server rather than adding more VMs; increasing the power of the server allows for 20 to 30 Bot Runners to operate effectively.

How are customer service and support?

We migrated to gold support last year, which is excellent. What I appreciate is that you have a technology partner who gets to know your environment, and that's very important. When I began at my previous company without gold or platinum support, I had to explain my environment every time there was an issue, wasting hours. Now that we are in gold support, they already understand our setup, infrastructure, and pain points, allowing us to address issues more efficiently.

How would you rate customer service and support?

Which solution did I use previously and why did I switch?

Prior to adopting Automation Anywhere, my company used Excel macros, which are not an enterprise solution; they are more a personal automation tool. Some people were using Power Automate, still, that's not an enterprise solution; you cannot integrate it with the rest of the tools; it's just a Microsoft tool where you can only work with Microsoft products.

The primary drivers that led my company to choose an RPA tool and eventually Automation Anywhere are its capabilities to connect and integrate with other systems of records, not only with specific brands like Microsoft. When I started in 2017, we decided to use Automation Anywhere primarily for its ability to interact with various systems and it was regarded as an enterprise solution.

What was our ROI?

I have seen a lot of benefits using Automation Anywhere. We currently have around 50 automations running in production, and I am confident that we are saving several million dollars as a result. I cannot provide those numbers right now. Still, I can see many benefits emerging. We work very closely with the legal team, who have to do a lot of manual work; we basically help a lot. That's my main customer right now. The next important customer is technology and digital technology, and then finance. So from all those three teams, I'm covering probably 80% of the company. As a financial institution focusing mainly on financial advice, we will be opening a completely digital bank in the next few days.

Which other solutions did I evaluate?

I am aware of the existence of other tools, however, I have not evaluated them. When I started in my previous company, there was a prior agreement for me to use Automation Anywhere. When I joined this company, they were already using it; my understanding is they were at some point evaluating UiPath, however, the cost was a huge decision-maker.

What other advice do I have?

I work in the banking industry as the Intelligent Automation Manager for engineering. I joined this company almost a year ago, and I worked before that for one of the largest banks in the US.

My advice would be to ensure proper planning before adopting Automation Anywhere. First, you must define your environment, focusing on security and compliance. Governance is key, and once you are set up, ensure you are developing proper metrics since you need to show management the savings generated from automations. Once you've established that, implement best practices and standards, create a framework, and I wish anyone good luck; they likely will be successful.

I would rate Automation Anywhere as an eight out of ten. It's a great solution, however, there are limitations with tools COE Manager and Document Automation. I have seen some restrictions in the system, and making improvements to tools Fortress IQ would enhance our experience. I understand Automation Anywhere's operational goals, however, maturing these tools would make it an even better solution from my perspective.

Something I have observed repeatedly, as a technical person who engages with various attendees at Imagine events, is the need for clarity when new solutions arise. AI is excellent. That said, my question is about data storage; will data be kept within our control? This topic is crucial for compliance and legal approvals. I think it would be beneficial to have more technical sessions demonstrating how new tools are implemented. For example, during a discussion on Document Automation at a conference, I was concerned about how data moves from on-premises to the cloud, as it could take us out of compliance. More information on these aspects would help people understand the implications.

Automation of finance and HR processes has reduced manual effort and saves significant time across internal teams
Pros and Cons
  • "I appreciate that Automation Anywhere is so user-friendly, and currently, our team is learning Power Automate and migrating some of the processes as we go."
  • "There have been many instances, particularly in my previous organization where we did a lot of development in Automation Anywhere, catering to clients like CPA firms in America, where we raised tickets for solutions but did not always find a satisfactory resolution, despite connecting over a call."

What is our primary use case?

We do not cater to clients; we are automating in-house processes like finance and HR, payroll processes, accounts payable, accounts receivable, and collection. These are the kinds of use cases, with separate teams for each domain, while our team mostly focuses on the finance part of it.

What is most valuable?

I appreciate that Automation Anywhere is so user-friendly, and currently, our team is learning Power Automate and migrating some of the processes as we go. I find Automation Anywhere very developer-friendly, and I have been in this field for seven years, working on tools like UiPath and Automation Anywhere, then switching to Power Automate, which comes with quite a bit of a learning curve. Something that can be done very simply in maybe one or two lines in Automation Anywhere takes a lot of workaround in Power Automate. Automation Anywhere has positively impacted my organization primarily because the deployments were mostly done before I joined, and I focus on knowledge transfer and migration. However, from what I understand, during COVID, they started RPA in our firm and saved a lot of manual hours by automating the business processes, which was a lot of help especially during that time.

What needs improvement?

One area for improvement with Automation Anywhere is that while Power Automate has very simple integration with Microsoft tools, it is something that could be worked upon. Even in my previous organization and many other organizations are shifting towards Power Automate, especially companies catering to clients because of the cost efficiency with Power Automate, which is also something you can take into consideration. I confirm that while the product has advantages in terms of pricing, in terms of integration, it needs some improvement.

For how long have I used the solution?

My current experience in this field is seven to seven and a half years.

What do I think about the stability of the solution?

The deployment of Automation Anywhere is quite simple for me.

What do I think about the scalability of the solution?

We actually have some citizen developers in our organization who develop entire processes on Automation Anywhere, even with very little knowledge of how RPA works. During the migration, I had the opportunity to meet some of these business users when they came to India a couple of months back, and we had the same conversation that Automation Anywhere was very user-friendly compared to Power Automate, which is something everyone appreciated.

How are customer service and support?

There have been many instances, particularly in my previous organization where we did a lot of development in Automation Anywhere, catering to clients like CPA firms in America, where we raised tickets for solutions but did not always find a satisfactory resolution, despite connecting over a call.

How would you rate customer service and support?

Which solution did I use previously and why did I switch?

I previously used UiPath, but not in this firm where I have been for only seven months, focusing on Automation Anywhere and migrating to Power Automate.

How was the initial setup?

I do not remember approximately how much time the deployment for this product took.

What about the implementation team?

I could implement it all by myself without any consultancy or help from outside.

What was our ROI?

We do track ROI, though I do not have the exact statistics in mind. For every man hour during any deployment, we estimate about $70 saved based on how much it takes manually to do that process, and we track that every time the bot runs.

Which other solutions did I evaluate?

I am considering Power Automate because of the cost.

What other advice do I have?

In my current role, I joined about six or seven months ago, and they have been using Automation Anywhere for three or four years with a renewed license for another three years. Automation Anywhere has positively impacted my organization primarily because the deployments were mostly done before I joined, and I focus on knowledge transfer and migration. However, from what I understand, during COVID, they started RPA in our firm and saved a lot of manual hours by automating the business processes, which was a lot of help especially during that time. The challenges I was trying to resolve by implementing Automation Anywhere mostly revolve around automating repetitive business processes, as during COVID, there was a lot of extra work in my role within the aviation industry. Streamlining the business processes made a lot of sense and helped boost the revenue significantly. I provided this review with an overall rating of 8.

Developers create and deploy automations quickly with multiple development options
Pros and Cons
  • "The features of the Automation Anywhere bot bring us the ability to develop automations to production quickly."
  • "I would rate this solution a ten out of ten."
  • "It would be great if they could do more third-party Salesforce integrations into the RPA side, which would be helpful."
  • "We do not have the AI Agent Studio feature of Automation Anywhere available yet in our government GCC environment."

What is our primary use case?

Our use cases on Automation Anywhere span across HR and finance as the main two areas. 

We are exploring Automation Anywhere A2019 and have found some good ticketing, service now solutions, and integrations that we can use. We're continuing to explore A2019 AI. 

Automation Anywhere is definitely one of the leaders in helping with these challenges. Automation Anywhere is especially useful for us in web automation and browser automation.

How has it helped my organization?

It allows us to bring automations to development quickly. It's a quick turnaround. 

What is most valuable?

What I appreciate most about Automation Anywhere is the fact that there are multiple ways to develop an RPA bot, which is useful to different types of developers. There's the lists, and there's the drag and drop. It's all very easy to automate.

The features of the Automation Anywhere bot bring us the ability to develop automations to production quickly. We can test, and then we can easily fix any bugs that we have in the bots and then we can bring them to production quickly with quick turnaround.

The deployment of Automation Anywhere, meaning just moving bots to production, is seamless. It's easy. We have our environments set up with dev, QA, and production, and it's very easy to move from one to the next.

It's early in our implementation. In the age of agentic AI, my biggest challenges and those of my company include finding the right use case and then choosing the right platform. There are a lot of companies that offer services, so we have to do evaluations across each company and then select the right one to solve the problem. Automation Anywhere is one of the leaders in this space. 

I have worked mostly with RPA in Automation Anywhere. I attended the APA developer class. We don't have any agentic AI solutions, and the ones we have are minimal in terms of the AI component. It's too early to have achieved our automation goals.

The CoPilot fixes the problem of quickly dragging in a lot of lines and the commands in Automation Anywhere.

What needs improvement?

It would be great if they could do more third-party Salesforce integrations into the RPA side, which would be helpful. I don't know how much will be covered with the agentic AI. More SharePoint integrations and things would also be great for doing more tasks with those tools.

For how long have I used the solution?

I have been using Automation Anywhere for five years.

Which solution did I use previously and why did I switch?

We did not use another solution before implementing Automation Anywhere in our company. We started with a lot of the major players, including UiPath, and we chose Automation Anywhere. Some sectors had UiPath, but the dominant one is Automation Anywhere. Automation Anywhere stands out from UiPath for us because of its ease of development and competitive pricing. Those are the two main reasons.

How was the initial setup?

The deployment is seamless. 

What's my experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing?

I'm coming from a developer standpoint; I don't handle pricing. 

What other advice do I have?

We do not have the AI Agent Studio feature of Automation Anywhere available yet in our government GCC environment. AI governance is very important for us, especially as a government contractor, however, I would have to look into that more. 

I have not used Automator AI yet.

We have our own COE for Automation Anywhere. We have a few dashboards, but I don't think we are using the Automation Anywhere dashboards too much. We mostly use Power BI to get our insights. From Automation Anywhere, we don't utilize document automation in our current processes. We're using Azure Document AI currently, and that's our best source of extraction. I don't know too much about the pricing and licensing from the developer standpoint.

We're also using Azure Document AI for as our main source of extractions. 

I would rate this solution a ten out of ten.

Automation has saved significant time in banking operations and improves daily compliance checks
Pros and Cons
  • "Automation Anywhere has helped my customers save time and costs, especially in card settlements, where a task that used to take about fourteen days to refund the user now takes the next day or at the same time using Robotic Process Automation."
  • "Using Automation Anywhere is neither easy nor hard, but against IBM Robotic Process Automation, IBM Robotic Process Automation wins."

What is our primary use case?

Automation Anywhere is utilized in cases where business users employ the robotic process for checking systems like SAS, CRM, and scoring systems, then returning results to the business team instead of having users perform these tasks repetitively every day.

I work with customers in banks using Automation Anywhere, so systems such as those mentioned are utilized for checking if a customer is on sanction lists or watchlists. We also use i-Score, a system in Egypt for checking the credit scoring of customers. There are systems operating on legacy systems that need vision components in Automation Anywhere, such as those for national ID identification. We have systems checking for anti-money laundering and systems for ticketing or opening tickets for customers. Additionally, we have systems that extract news from websites and send the data to BI or Power BI for further data investigation and analysis. In a bank in Egypt, we also use RPA for opening quick SAS and accounts on legacy systems where integration points are absent.

What is most valuable?

The most valuable features I find in Automation Anywhere are Agents and MetaBot.

Automation Co-Pilot is a good feature, but I have not worked with it.

Automation Anywhere has helped my customers save time and costs, especially in card settlements. This task used to take about fourteen days to refund the user, and using Robotic Process Automation, it now takes the next day or at the same time.

What needs improvement?

Automation Anywhere needs to move toward the era of hyper-automation, not only using robotics but also taking the fast track in agentic AI and AI automation. They need to invest more in this field, as UiPath and IBM Cloud Pak for Business Automation and integration data and AI have more flexibility and features than Automation Anywhere.

I would like to see more hyper-automation features in Automation Anywhere, with more than just embedded components. They should enable additional components to be integrated, invest more in agentic AI and bots, enhance MetaBots with more features and capabilities, and provide Arabic support, including right-to-left reading of files, scanning, and OCR of files. As IBM offers more features, such as IBM Datacap and IBM Automation Document Processing with excellent Arabic support, Automation Anywhere needs to catch up in this regard.

For how long have I used the solution?

I have been dealing with Automation Anywhere for one year or a year and a half.

What do I think about the scalability of the solution?

Automation Anywhere is scalable.

How are customer service and support?

My manager is the one who works with the technical support for Automation Anywhere, but we receive clear support from them. Having worked on one case with their support, I can rate them a seven, maybe seven to eight.

What other advice do I have?

Using Automation Anywhere is neither easy nor hard, but against IBM Robotic Process Automation, IBM Robotic Process Automation wins. I have a working case that takes from Automation Anywhere Robotic Process Automation about ten hours, whereas we made this task in four hours with IBM Robotic Process Automation. The same steps needed four hours. IBM Robotic Process Automation has a significant difference as it allows multi-agents to run on the same machine, enabling us to run multiple browsers simultaneously. However, for Automation Anywhere, if we switch from one browser to another, the focus on an element is lost, requiring us to refocus again. This helps us minimize our task time from ten hours using Robotic Process Automation to four hours using IBM Robotic Process Automation.

Regarding the pricing of Automation Anywhere, I believe this is a significant challenge. In some sales cases, customers initially state that it is very high, but once the work is completed and the results are evident, they invest more in robotic tools. This sentiment is true for Automation Anywhere, UiPath, IBM Robotic Process Automation, or Blue Prism; customers often state at first that it is very high, but later invest more after seeing results.

I can rate Automation Anywhere an eight for robotic capabilities, but if considering overall automation and AI, I would rate it six or seven. My overall rating for this review is eight.

Robust automation simplifies revenue cycle management but logging feedback needs improvement
Pros and Cons
  • "What I appreciate the most about Automation Anywhere is that the tool is very robust."
  • "My main issue with Automation Anywhere might be the logging of bots and getting more detailed feedback of what my bot is doing, step by step. It is hard to track fine-tuning in larger codes."

What is our primary use case?

The main objective of using Automation Anywhere is revenue cycle automation and our tie-ins with the hospital allow us to work in different parts of the revenue cycle. It specifically automates either patient info collection, Medicaid submission, and similar tasks. It is all contained within the revenue cycle, which represents the main services we provide to our clients.

What is most valuable?

What I appreciate the most about Automation Anywhere is that the tool is very robust. It can handle buttons moving around and any elements changing. It makes the process super easy to maintain and, in terms of tracking failures, it is improving. It is very good for new websites, identifying elements effortlessly.

What needs improvement?

My main issue with Automation Anywhere might be the logging of bots and getting more detailed feedback of what my bot is doing, step by step. It is hard to track fine-tuning in larger codes.

For how long have I used the solution?

I have been using Automation Anywhere for maybe a year and a half to two years now, or rather I have been using it since I joined.

What do I think about the stability of the solution?

Automation Anywhere definitely allows us to provide more reliability and affirmation to the client. For every client we successfully automate, it is a checkmark in our book to show that we have a huge skill set of bots and different capabilities.

Having them operational month-to-month and reporting that they work is a very good confidence booster, especially with smaller hospitals when this is the only grant they can invest in. Once development is done, the bot is relatively stable. It does have some discrepancy with older websites but performs really well with all new websites, current revenue cycle automation, or any submissions we have to do. It reduces the pressure of maintenance significantly because even with numerous website changes, the maintenance becomes negligible for us.

What do I think about the scalability of the solution?

When bringing Automation Anywhere, we were trying to solve the time taken in these processes for hospitals. We aim to improve how fast they can charge their insurance or patients, ensuring they hit their revenue targets. We are expanding into other fields, still centered within healthcare. Having these small working components and consistent bot performance brings in the next client, which is a significant goal for us.

Which solution did I use previously and why did I switch?

In my company, I have not used another product that does the same as Automation Anywhere, but I have studied and used UiPath briefly. That was about two and a half to three years ago.

How was the initial setup?

When bringing Automation Anywhere, we were trying to solve the time taken in these processes for hospitals. We aim to ensure we can improve how fast they can charge their insurance or patients, making sure the revenue part is properly managed as that is what we are ensuring they hit.

What about the implementation team?

Our team is based on two engineers and one team lead.

What was our ROI?

For every client we successfully automate, it is a checkmark in our book to show that we have a huge skill set of bots and different things to accomplish.

What's my experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing?

Regarding the pricing, setup cost, and licensing of the Automation Anywhere platform, I have limited experience in answering as I do not represent the company in this aspect. From what I have heard from my team, the basic pricing seems to work for us.

For larger scaling pricing of other features, we need to bring in more clients and a larger volume to justify the potential cost of the license. Every automation license is specific for each hospital since we cannot share files or security due to HIPAA compliance requirements. Currently, we are able to bring in clients in the current price range, though it is becoming more challenging.

What other advice do I have?

We are among the smaller scale clients for Automation Anywhere. The AI component is something we are still not utilizing much because it is difficult to justify the license cost to our clients. In the healthcare sector, there is hesitation to implement AI due to security concerns and a preference for manual processes during their initial step into automation.

A-People platform is particularly helpful for discussions and finding solutions to issues. The support team provides regular updates and maintains good communication even in uncertain scenarios. The platform has a growing repository of answered questions, similar to resources available for other programming languages.

We use OCR extensively, particularly for older websites and legacy systems where button identification is challenging. We have three active builds in production using only OCR, which demonstrates the robustness of the system.

On a scale of 1-10, I would rate Automation Anywhere 7.5 to 8. While I might rate it slightly lower as a developer who works with it daily, most of my team would likely rate it 8.5 to 9 because it effectively meets our needs and critical client requirements.

Which deployment model are you using for this solution?

Automation has increased productivity and has enabled business users to build bots independently
Pros and Cons
  • "I definitely find that it has helped increase productivity."
  • "I believe Automation Anywhere needs to improve on product quality. Sometimes it has intermittent issues."

What is our primary use case?

As a developer, I have worked for three to four years integrating SD-WAN capabilities. I create framework technologies for an architect role and give them to development teams. In total, I have 13 years of experience, with 10 years in RPA. I have around 10 years of experience with Automation Anywhere. With UiPath, I have around four years. Currently, I manage the team and deliver end-to-end solutions to clients. I initially started as a developer and now play a project manager plus architect role.

What is most valuable?

I find the learning curve of Automation Anywhere pretty good. Day by day, the tool upgrades. All RPA market leaders are upgrading to intelligent AI, cognitive, and document automation. I have started working on intelligent AI capabilities, but still not on full resources.

I definitely find it easy for business users who do not have technical skills to use it. It is drag-and-drop and low-code, no-code only, so they can easily drag and drop and build simple projects. Sometimes they need some logic things, and if they are very skilled in logical thinking, they can build it without technical knowledge.

Automation Anywhere Automation Co-pilot is true. If users give a correct prompt, the Automation Co-pilot will create the code.

I definitely find that it has helped increase productivity. I find that it has also helped free time for my team to work on value-add projects.

What needs improvement?

I believe Automation Anywhere needs to improve on product quality. Sometimes it has intermittent issues. If one node is down, the other node is up and we have a backup, but unfortunately if something happens, all the bots fail. Product-wise, they need to improve compared to other market leaders, and pricing-wise, they also need to reduce.

They have to improve a lot compared to UiPath and Power Automate, which are the market leaders. Like connectors, scalability, reliability, and build quality work fine for other tools. Similarly, Automation Anywhere should come up with these plans. They need to improve.

I agree that the scalability is not as good as its competitors.

To make it closer to ten, I think they need to improve some GUI capabilities. They need to improve for a few collectors and all, as it is not working. Similarly, they need to decrease pricing-wise.

For how long have I used the solution?

I have mostly eight years of experience as a user, consultant, and integrator.

What do I think about the stability of the solution?

I believe Automation Anywhere needs to improve on product quality. Sometimes it has intermittent issues. If one node is down, the other node is up and we have a backup, but unfortunately if something happens, all the bots fail.

What do I think about the scalability of the solution?

I agree that the scalability is not as good as its competitors.

How are customer service and support?

I can rate the technical support by Automation Anywhere eight out of ten.

How would you rate customer service and support?

Positive

How was the initial setup?

I find the initial setup pretty easy to deploy and configure.

What other advice do I have?

I would generally recommend this product to all markets and all domains. I think bigger companies can accommodate it. For startup companies, we need to think it up. Startups nowadays are not going for traditional RPA. They are moving to tools such as n8n, LangFlow, and some other open-source tools. So compared to those tools, they need to think how they can utilize this with the same product. They need to think of it from that perspective. I rate this product eight out of ten overall.
