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.

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.

Data processing efficiency increases with workflow automation but could improve on handling high volume data
The most valuable feature of Workato is that billing is based on task actions; whatever actions we take on the Workato platform will determine the task consumption and billing for each workflow. More optimized workflows lead to less billing for clients. Furthermore, they have introduced a Copilot feature for automation, helping build recipes and code with simple prompts. Additionally, they are developing AI solutions for clients. These are some top features, along with various others implemented per client specifications, such as CICD implementation and runtime connection changes. The benefits of using Workato for our customers include automating business workflows and data integration. By addressing their manual efforts, which are time-consuming and prone to errors, Workato helps clients reduce costs while increasing productivity. We implement solutions that enable seamless data integration between different systems, minimizing time-consuming manual processes. A positive impact we see is cost reduction, as manual efforts are significantly lowered. For example, in production support teams, manual processes are streamlined through CICD implementation, allowing for a seamless integration of different environments with minimal errors and faster deployment.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The core functionality, the ability to automate these tasks and to interact, both with our own in-house software solutions as well as with our customers' and vendors' solutions and portals, has been incredibly valuable for us."
"For the cash and bank reconciliation, we brought down amount of days it takes to do the reconciling and announcing the results; previously, it took 10 to 15 days, now it takes two days."
"In terms of development for our developers, it is very easy and quick to learn because Automation Anywhere has provided an online academy where developers can easily learn the features. It is very easy. If someone does not have a coding background, they can also learn from it very easily because it is just drag and drop and very interactive."
"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."
"Business analytics provides real-time data that's something other competing companies lack. It uses statistics and graphs to show the performance of the bots which processes are lagging behind and if you need to give priority to certain tasks."
"The most valuable features of Automation Anywhere are the document processing and queue management."
"The most valuable feature is the task bots because we found that cognitive functionality can be improvised."
"I like Automation Anywhere's document automation. It can distill or scan documents and convert the information into a structured format."
"The solution's workflows are its most useful feature."
"The initial setup of AgilePoint was very easy."
"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 most valuable feature is process management."
"I like the design and the integration capacity, and it's also easy to use."
"AgilePoint has improved our organization by making form implementation easier and to plan for future growth."
"AgilePoint's automation is excellent in managing different user roles and handling data associated with a particular instance of the workflow."
"Moreover, AI automation simplifies integration development by understanding requirements from prompts and creating the necessary automation."
"The most valuable features are easy integration, quick tab to develop, quick tab to market, and interactive integration platform."
"The best feature of Workato that I especially appreciate is its low-code, no-code platform, enabling us to primarily use these methods even when client's requirements are atypical."
"It is very easy to use. It takes complex workloads away, and it provides very smooth integration. It has got a lot of out-of-the-box connectors. It has got a lot of out-of-the-box APIs, which makes it really easy to integrate with applications for different use cases, whether it is in finance, HR, or customer operations. It is by far our favorite integration product."
"Workato reduces total development time as it generates code seamlessly and integrates with SQL databases or APIs through configuration."
"I definitely recommend Workato to others; it is the best product in our technology stack, allowing us to integrate legacy systems and address diverse requirements."
"It's easy to understand, makes flows and is efficient."
"Workato is low code, intuitive, and easy to use."
 

Cons

"Automation Anywhere Control Room should update to the newer versions with one click, including the newer features. There should be minimum effort required from the IT organization. The major resistance from any organization is from the IT organization because they have a lot of dependencies and will sometimes resist doing changes because they have other activities and applications to manage. Future versions should minimizing their work."
"AI would enable improved automation and faster training times that would be reduced from one month to one week."
"Business processes are more complex and require experts to be brought in to automate."
"It is not able to use OCR effectively and has limited usability."
"The initial setup was complex because we had to make sure all the security aspects were approved by our leadership."
"The product needs improvements in dealing with remote servers and providing more APIs that will be used with other systems."
"For improvement, I would like to see Automation Anywhere integrating with multiple other technologies."
"The user interface should be enhanced to make things simpler for the user."
"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."
"They should add more information about functionality."
"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."
"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."
"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."
"The only minor drawback would be if there was a UI at the front of it, for apps and for a portal as well, it would make it really easy. It would be really useful if there were more apps capabilities."
"Currently, Workato is a low-code platform without native programming capabilities. I would appreciate having a dedicated programming language for tasks like transformations and functional programming."
"The data flow and debugging processes need improvement, especially for tracing issues. Additionally, Workato struggles with scalability when handling high volumes of data, such as terabytes, requiring chunking for initial data loads."
"It is tedious to make a tailor-fit function."
"From the deployment point of view, our customers encounter platform downtime where it does not serve the actual request on the systems."
"There are some issues with sending and receiving HTTP requests."
"Lots of room for improvement to allow for discoverability of product features."
"A limitation is that their cloud presence is only in North America and Europe."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The pricing is a bit higher."
"They give us a good deal on the licensing because we bundle and customize things. If you ask to get a bulk business deal, you will receive more benefit. If you take other products from the suite, like IQ Bot, you can also receive a deal on the licensing."
"Pricing is too high for small-scale groups. The Control Room yearly fee is high, making it difficult to break even."
"As far as costs, it depends on your use. We started with a basic department pack, which is over 10K. The additional costs depend on the scale of the engagement and how it pans out. We customize to our needs on the go."
"The pricing model can be a bit more flexible."
"It is the most economically friendly and it provides you with a lot of functions."
"Currently, it stands as one of the more expensive RPA tools available."
"Automation Anywhere's price is considerably better than UiPath's."
"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."
"I think the price is reasonable."
"Price-wise, AgilePoint is a cheap tool and a standard application for running analytics in an IT environment."
"It is more cost-effective than local tools."
"Speaking about price, I would say that it's market-related. Also, there are costs in addition to the standard license fees since different add-ons depend on what you require."
"On a scale of one to ten, the pricing is around a six. We have a consumption model and the pricing is higher. If you are using any kind of ML-based approach, machine learning, or some advanced analytics, you may have to pay more."
"Workato is an expensive solution."
