Venkat Sivaprakash - PeerSpot reviewer
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.

Manager Of Global Procurement at a tech vendor with 10,001+ employees
Centralized contract repository has improved visibility and supports detailed spend analysis
Agiloft Contract Lifecycle Management (CLM) could be improved in the area of catering more from a CLM perspective. Unlike vendors in this area like Ariba, Coupa, Icertis, and Ivalua, which also provide the sourcing side—RFX, RFP, RFI, auction—through the tool, that area within Agiloft Contract Lifecycle Management (CLM) is lacking. I would be happy to see those modules well-placed and well-balanced based on how other competitors are catering to that requirement. I would also like to see various enhancements within the dashboard and customization based on client and customer requirements. That is something that I would like to see more within the dashboard and the tool. If I had to pick one area where Agiloft Contract Lifecycle Management (CLM) could be improved, it would be better slice-and-dice options within the dashboard. That is something that is very important and critical for me. I chose 8 out of 10 because there are certain areas where Agiloft Contract Lifecycle Management (CLM) would need to look at what their competitors are doing. CLM is a very hot area for procurement because it is used by direct and indirect procurement folks. Based on those requirements, use cases, and especially based on what clients need and how their competitors are performing, I think there is room for improvement on the enhancement side, improving the overall customer experience on the dashboard, having more layouts, and having the option to slice and dice the spend and the orders. It would also be good to have different charts and infographics based on the contracts that have been uploaded, which provides a picture to the procurement person. For example, when they are doing a renewal or want to work with the same vendor, it provides some sort of ammunition to make an informed decision and ensure that the data coming out of the tool represents factual insights. This will help drive savings, better outcomes with the supplier, and better stakeholder engagement. It is all linked to how the tool can be more efficient and effective.

Senior Manager at a legal firm with 1,001-5,000 employees
Automation has transformed complex contract lifecycles and now supports high-volume workflows
The only drawback of Conga Contract Lifecycle Management (CLM) is that it does not work for small-scale business areas because I have implemented it for one customer with four or five pages of templates and three to four record types. For that small business, Conga Contract Lifecycle Management (CLM) does not work well because it is a bit complicated. Sometimes all customers need is a click of a button to go in and do things, and Conga Contract Lifecycle Management (CLM) is a bit complicated for such kinds of businesses. There are definitely areas where Conga Contract Lifecycle Management (CLM) could be easier to use for smaller businesses, particularly making processes more streamlined and user-friendly.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The solution has removed humans making errors while increasing our time savings, and we now have a lot more efficiencies in our process."
"We were working on a system called AS 400. Automation Anywhere performed well on that old system. It handled complicated processes. I had to review different menus and screens and give resources, storage, and databases. That's complicated."
"The ability to create automation itself is a benefit that reduces human error and enhances efficiency. Technical support is unsurpassed."
"From an SAP point of view, we have in-built features. They have integrated everything together, so it's much easier for us to use that."
"The ability to customize added automation to a lot of situations where human judgment and interpretation are not required."
"Value for time: with the help of Enterprise A2019, we can get instant value."
"Co-pilot certainly makes the job easier if the client has a subscription. It allows me to analyze desktop flows and activities and create flows using natural language."
"As a tool, IQ Bot is easy to use, powerful, and very competitive compared to others."
"With Agiloft, everything is organized in one place, with data in tables and our own archival elsewhere in our cloud."
"Project HOME has easily recovered its initial capital outlay in the first year from simple centralization and automated approval tracking."
"For me, Agiloft Contract Lifecycle Managment (CLM) is not just an archive; it is a control and follow-up tool that improves collaboration, provides reliable information, and supports contract administration and decision making."
"I had a great experience working with Agiloft Contract Lifecycle Managment (CLM), and I definitely recommend it to any company or customers exploring options for vendor contract management systems because I had a great learning experience and very good experience working on Agiloft Contract Lifecycle Managment (CLM)."
"It is obvious to me that Agiloft can handle much more than contract management, as the specific requirements that were not part of Agiloft's initial configuration were implemented seamlessly."
"Agiloft Contract Lifecycle Managment (CLM) has positively impacted my client organizations by massively reducing contract authoring, with some contracts that used to take three months to execute now being reduced from months down to hours, which has improved client satisfaction, increased deal velocity, and allowed their legal teams to focus on other tasks outside of contracting, thereby freeing up time for the legal departments."
"Agiloft Contract Lifecycle Management (CLM) makes it easier to share links within our teams by providing a centralized contract repository, which I need in the global procurement area where I work on various contracts: mid-size contracts, lower-hanging fruit contracts, and the big-ticket contracts."
"Overall, I think Agiloft Contract Lifecycle Managment (CLM) is a strong contract management platform, particularly for organizations with great volume, many customers, and numerous suppliers."
"Globally, the overall time to contract is now seven to ten days, and this has been greatly appreciated by our Legal Ops head."
"Conga Contract Lifecycle Management (CLM) has delivered measurable improvements in both time and cost savings for our organization, significantly reducing manual processing time, shortening contract turnaround times from days to hours, minimizing compliance risk, and improving overall operational efficiency and resource utilization."
"The valuable aspects are ease and speed."
"Conga Contract Lifecycle Management (CLM) has positively impacted my organization because I can store the terms and conditions between the two parties in the template, and I can share product-related data with the two parties to store prices and other relevant information."
"Overall, Conga Contract Lifecycle Management (CLM) has increased operational efficiency, improved contract turnaround times, and provided greater control over the contract lifecycle."
"The overall process of contract review, which used to take at least two weeks, has reduced to a couple of days now, including all the communications and internal discussions, representing a huge improvement."
"Conga Contract Lifecycle Management (CLM) positively impacted my organization because we did not have to manually enter customer details such as their name, where they work, or their address."
"The clarity and smooth process provided by Conga Contract Lifecycle Management (CLM) have greatly impacted my team and business."
 

Cons

"Cloud was one of the features we wanted to see, because it makes it much easier. The second feature is ease of use in terms of agnostic operating system."
"We don't have an ROI in any of our processes. We are just trying it out now to see if it works. We haven't had any savings yet. We have been putting more time in than saving time at this point."
"If you work with image recognition and custom objects, there are stability issues."
"I'd like to see the stabilization of Co-Pilot and integration with multiple products... In the future, I will require integration with SAP Oracle, Atlassian, and Service Now. The contact center vertical is important..."
"Automation Anywhere is not very scalable because the update and upgrade process requires immense effort from the IT organization to do a tool check."
"MetaBot still needs to be optimized, though Version 11.3 did integrate all the commands into it. We are not able to see all the lines of code which are executed in MetaBot."
"We need a better way of getting upgrades or defect fixes. It is creating problems for us, as we have to go for a completely new version. Maintaining and managing existing bots, then coming up with new ones takes a lot of time. We would rather have a batch fix than an installation to an installation."
"Automation Anywhere is not fully compatible with browsers other than Internet Explorer while working with web extraction."
"Every software can improve, so better integration with the Oracle financial system and out-of-the-box integrations would certainly add a lot more value, particularly for procurement and sales contracts."
"If I could improve one aspect, I would make the workflows and reports more customizable for specific project needs."
"I feel Agiloft is a little bit less user-friendly than Conga."
"Requests were clunky. Once we got it into the system, the process did not work well for redlining and negotiations."
"Agiloft Contract Lifecycle Managment (CLM) could be improved in several ways. The training is not good, and they do not offer very good training at all."
"If there is an area for improvement, it would be in the mobile aspect."
"Agiloft Contract Lifecycle Management (CLM) could be improved in the area of catering more from a CLM perspective."
"One possible area of improvement would be reporting."
"I rate Conga Contract Lifecycle Management (CLM) a seven due to issues I experience during document generation, specifically when newly generated quotes do not download correctly, causing replication of previous quotes, which can be frustrating and problematic in client interactions."
"Conga Contract Lifecycle Management (CLM) is a powerful platform, but there are a few areas where improvements could enhance the user experience."
"Sometimes their support is not very efficient."
"I see one blind spot for Conga Contract Lifecycle Management (CLM) in that additional logic features depending upon user types and customer types would be helpful."
"They are somewhat reliable, but they are not completely reliable."
"Conga Contract Lifecycle Management (CLM) can sometimes feel slow, so I think additional strong real-time collaboration tools during negotiation and smoother integration with non-sales systems would also be helpful."
"I would tell others looking into using Conga Contract Lifecycle Management (CLM) that it is useful, but the licenses are a bit expensive compared to the other contract lifecycle managements in the market."
"I chose a rating of seven out of ten because there are many areas for improvement for Conga; it is not a complete solution yet."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Because it reduced the time duration of our processes, our costs went down."
"There is an annual license to use the solution."
"One of the things that will be good for the community will be to get the free version to download, which came out just a month ago called Community Edition. So, you can actually download it and try it for yourself."
"It is reasonable, but it can always be a little bit cheaper."
"We have a three-year contract with Automation Anywhere."
"Automation Anywhere offers a subscription-based licensing model for cloud, on-premises, and hybrid deployments."
"The price of this product is good."
"Including the AWS setup and everything per license, it costs us around $10,000 on an annual basis. I believe that is pretty reasonable considering the teams that we have."
