Automation Anywhere

Featured Reviews

Venkat Sivaprakash

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.

Chief Technology Officer at a tech services company with 1-10 employees

Business processes are automated efficiently with a well-designed interface

There is room for improvement in integrations and customizations for AgilePoint and other low-code, no-code solutions. Additionally, the marketing of such products should be more honest. They often claim to solve all process automation needs, but they only handle problems of certain complexity. AgilePoint cannot handle highly complex processes like ERPs.

Aditya Bhatt

Sr. Project Delivery Lead | Sr. Technical Lead at a manufacturing company with 5,001-10,000 employees

Rapid delivery has transformed complex enterprise apps and supports faster cross-domain projects

Every platform or low-code platform tool is quite good in its own area, but there is always space to groom or enhance or improve. The same is with OutSystems as well. A couple of things from the integration point of view can be enhanced. If your application or the enterprise organization is tackling a huge data application where you have bulk amounts of data, it becomes a challenge for all the technologies and the same with OutSystems. You have to design your architecture in a very magnificent and decent way so that how you process your data so that load can be easily balanced. Data handling and huge data handling is a kind of challenge you may need to face. Then we have some vendor lock-in. If you are trying to migrate your application from OutSystems, then you probably get into this vendor lock-in system. Some organization may face challenges if some organization is on a small scale size. The small scale businesses may find OutSystems costly because of its high cost and pricing due to the licensing cost. Apart from that, OutSystems really plays well, and it needs a learning curve. If a traditional application or programming is there which your developers are skilled into and they are directly deployed into OutSystems, it may take some significant amount of time for them to get comfortable with OutSystems. There is a learning curve. OutSystems community is already in place, but it can more be enhanced regarding some aspects. They did organize lots of bootcamps and other user groups as well, but those can also be improved from the documentation point of view and having some integration guidebook as well. A couple of things which can be improved into OutSystems include the licensing cost, the vendor lock-in side, the learning curve, couple of integration aspects and customizations.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"If we want to read a scanned PDF, we use IQ Bot. Using the cognitive detail of IQ Bot and some machine learning abilities, we can train the IQ Bot to process all scanned PDF documents and give the results in an Excel file. This is a very good feature introduced by Automation Anywhere. IQ Bot is doing well."

"I feel that it save us time and provides ROI as a monetary benefit because it reduces FTE, the number of headcount working for a particular project."

"We are having a very good experience with this product."

"I like the OCR feature, where we can capture information from PDFs."

"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."

"The features that we found most valuable have been just automating manual processes. We are able to integrate and work with applications that users typically work with. That has been the best feature for us right now."

"IQ Bot is very helpful as it is easy to learn and implement and the data output accuracy is almost 90%. Over time, the BOT learns from the validation which is an added advantage. Whatever I was thinking for version 11.3, it's being implemented in A2019. The incorporation of Python scripts is also implemented which will be easier for validations."

"I really like the Automation Anywhere University website because it has a lot of good documents that you can read to learn about the solution."

More Automation Anywhere pros

"Anytime companies need any solution with workflow, they can base it on AgilePoint, because AgilePoint allows companies to design and implement workflows very fast using the system's interface."

"AgilePoint's automation is excellent in managing different user roles and handling data associated with a particular instance of the workflow."

"The solution's workflows are its most useful feature."

"The initial setup of AgilePoint was very easy."

"I like the design and the integration capacity, and it's also easy to use."

"AgilePoint's most valuable feature is process management."

"AgilePoint has improved our organization by making form implementation easier and to plan for future growth."

"OutSystems is a low-code solution. Most features are like drag-and-drop, so it's pretty easy to work. Thus it helps the organization by saving time for developers."

"I like the mobile features the most, and there are also various features around the portal we created that I enjoy."

"OutSystems is scalable, and we have easily managed minor escalations and added redundancy to our app server, which was simple to set up."

"OutSystems is a robust and rapid application development platform with a less steep learning curve."

"The most valuable feature is Agile development. I love that you save a lot of time on development and can focus on logic and business requirements."

"Overall, it's a very nice solution."

"We have no complaints surrounding both the scalability and stability of this solution."

"The visual drag and drop environment in OutSystems has helped tremendously in application development in my experience, and the features and capabilities I have found most valuable and useful include the drag and drop integration capabilities."

More OutSystems pros

Cons

"Web automation capability needs to be improved."

"I want Automation Anywhere to work on IQ Bot further to help evolve the tool more and create a certain set of solutions using IQ Bot. They can maybe use better machine learning algorithms to come up with better accuracy for OCR extractions. This is an area that I want them to work on."

"Automation Anywhere can also be improved in machine learning and artificial intelligence. It would make our lives easier."

"The quality and speed of Automation Anywhere's support need significant improvement."

"I would like to see web and cloud-based platforms for future releases."

"The initial implementation of Automation Anywhere regarding the elastic search and database set connection can be a little difficult. However, I am skilled enough to get through it. There were some balancing issues that my other team members had to manage. They are having difficulty in balancing when I checked the architecture properly. We determined later that there was no need for a load balance to be done on the servers. We didn't do any load balancing and then the elastic search was not done."

"The solution doesn't offer all the capabilities that we need, so we have to use it in conjunction with other software."

"Custom models with advanced features can be included in the IQ Bot models for unstructured and semi-structured data."

More Automation Anywhere cons

"Some issues with AgilePoint's design, AI and UX are some of the major problems we deal with when handling our company's business models or processes."

"They should add more information about functionality."

"It could be more flexible, but it's already a good solution for the designer."

"The solution should be able to support Docker. This would help make scalability easier."

"While the platform is good and it has a lot of options, I would like to see more alternative features in future versions such as connectors to IDM. Currently, they have only ADFS and Okta."

"Integrations and customizations should be improved in AgilePoint and other low-code solutions."

"Technical support is very slow to respond and they need to be quicker in getting back to clients when problems arise."

"Writing custom code still needs to be done via Integration Studio. This might have been added to the IDE."

"OutSystems does not provide any native reporting resources. All reports must be created with other tools or as a webpage."

"The cons involve delays in project timelines primarily due to the time taken in requirements refinement and challenges faced when adding new features, making it somewhat complex to manage and maintain applications as they grow in scale."

"The technical support is not very good but I still give it a six out of 10."

"I've read that where you have large deployments, OutSystems starts to crumble a bit."

"We have performance issues while fetching bulk data."

"It is hard to find the logic in OutSystems. From an improvement perspective, I want to be able to properly use logic in OutSystems."

"While I can't speak to the market impact, as a developer, I've seen significant reductions in development time across different versions of our applications. One area for improvement would be the UI controls in Service Studio. Sometimes, controls don't appear in the IDE, requiring us to check them in the web browser instead. Overall, our experience with OutSystems has been positive, though improvements in UI development would be welcomed."

More OutSystems cons

Pricing and Cost Advice

"They recently launched a Community Edition, which is okay, but they should have done this a long time ago."

"It is fantastic. It has been great. It is perfectly priced for the quality received. When paying for quality, that is exactly what you get."

"If we talk about the automation RPA. it definitely has worked very well for us. I'm talking about giving good savings, about more than 180 FTE savings, after implementing more than 200 plus bots. It has worked well. As an organization, it has supported us very well, and also for our customers."

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

"Annually, we are paying almost one million reais."

"I don't agree with the IQ Bot licensing costs, which depends on the consumption of the document rather than per bot or user. This is confusing for me, because most of the cases for us in a possible future scenario, there would be a lot of invalid data to be scanned to get to real data. E.g., we would have to supply approximately 100 pages of scanned data to extract two pages of original data. In these type of cases, the IQ Bot might be a costly venture."

"There may be room for the product to be more competitively priced to excel in the market."

"AA comes at a more affordable price than the other tools."

More Automation Anywhere pricing and cost advice

"I think the price is reasonable."

"It is more cost-effective than local tools."

"I believe the pricing has changed recently. We had purchased one license per server, and it was about $2,000. It was a one-time payment. It's possible that they have recently implemented a new cost structure and now have yearly subscriptions."

"Price-wise, AgilePoint is a cheap tool and a standard application for running analytics in an IT environment."

"I would rate it five to six out of ten."

"It is not an expensive product, especially if you have access to more features and deal with more projects."

"OutSystems was open to a deal that worked for both sides."

"The subscription is billed on a yearly basis."

"You should contact OutSystems for more details but my opinion is that it is not for small business budgets."

"OutSystems is a very expensive solution, and it has to be cheaper."

"There is a need to make yearly payments towards the licensing costs attached to OutSystems. It is an expensive product."

"OutSystems is expensive, and they changed the pricing model in the last couple of years. It's changing too much and it's becoming unstable. They are constantly shifting their prices based on users, courses, and other factors."
