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.

Digital workflows have transformed contract signing and save time with remote approvals
In my opinion, the best features PandaDoc offers include ease of template creation, integration with other tools such as HubSpot, a user-friendly interface, and customizable templates. The integration with HubSpot enhances the overall user experience for my team, especially for the less technical users. PandaDoc has positively impacted my organization by being really helpful, especially as a game-changer when dealing with documents with our remote clients. We are able to send them the documents, and they can sign using their phone, so they do not have to come all the way to our office to sign the documents. They save a lot of time and cost, achieving approximately 70 to 80 percent time saved and cost savings from traveling. I also value the ability to obtain signatures from our clients, making us more efficient and saving time and money. The pricing model of PandaDoc is far superior to that of other competitors, thus being very cost-effective and affordable. It definitely helps us provide a better customer experience to retain our customers as they know we are very professional.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"Scheduling helps to generate and send reports without any delay."
"I definitely find that it has helped increase productivity."
"Not all tools give us the clear utilization of the infrastructure in place but this does and trust me, this has been proved far better than other RPA tools and that is why I see AA booming day by day."
"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."
"The support team is good and is able to resolve the issues or any challenges we encounter."
"While our Automation Anywhere's implementation is in a premature stage, it has really decreased the workload on our service desk and we definitely see some ROI in the future from this product."
"The scalability of this solution is good compared to others."
"The most valuable features of Automation Anywhere are the document processing and queue management."
"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."
"Safe Horizon has successfully implemented the Agiloft Contract Management System as tailored to meet the specific needs of our organization’s contract approval and renewal workflow."
"We have been working with Agiloft Contract Management Suite for the past 6 months and have found it an extremely useful and user friendly solution to our contract management challenge."
"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."
"When we launched Agiloft Contract Lifecycle Managment (CLM), it was a much-needed contract management system in my past role, solving a big problem for us in terms of contract intake, negotiation, management, as well as providing a centralized repository that we used as our source of truth for audit purposes, which had a huge impact on us in being compliant."
"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)."
"With Agiloft, everything is organized in one place, with data in tables and our own archival elsewhere in our cloud."
"Agiloft Contract Lifecycle Management (CLM) has helped us realize what we were lacking and helped us choose a replacement vendor that was better suited to our needs."
"PandaDoc is a very stable product, and I would definitely suggest it to anyone asking for a review."
"The best features PandaDoc offers include the ease of creating a document and getting it signed, and the signed copies are also delivered to the parties, which is great."
"My main use case for PandaDoc is that it has been a game changer, especially in my organization because it saves our sales reps hours per week on documentation."
"PandaDoc offered the best feature in its template functionality, which made things a little bit easier; we would have everything saved when it came to all the legal jargon, and it allowed us to quickly fill in the table with the job titles and the services, and it would calculate everything immediately."
"PandaDoc has positively impacted our organization since we started using this tool, as I love the ability to obtain signatures from our clients because it makes us more efficient, saving time and money, especially eliminating the cost of traveling, and the pricing model is far superior to other competitors, so we have been able to save a lot of time on the price it offers."
"The best features PandaDoc offers are the intuitive and visual interface, along with how organic the use is."
"PandaDoc is a great tool, especially when sending contracts to my clients."
"PandaDoc is a game changer for our organization."
 

Cons

"With the PDF command, you can only read structured data. If your data is in an unstructured format, there is no command for it in Automation Anywhere. Then, people need to use Python coding if their data is in unstructured format. Therefore, Automation Anywhere needs to improve in the PDF area."
"However, the AI Sense Recorder is too slow, so they can enhance its features for easier user experience."
"We are having some challenges when it comes to stability."
"It is difficult to learn all the possibilities that the product and automation itself offer."
"The initial implementation of Automation Anywhere regarding the elastic search and database set connection can be a little difficult."
"I have found that Automation Anywhere is prone to bugs in handling Excel. It breaks and gives vague error messages. I have had a lot of experience with that and learned that it is better to write a Python script instead of using Automation Anywhere's package when dealing with Excel because it is buggy and tends to break, unfortunately."
"We have in-house, a few variables, which we use from technical perspectives. We don't have them in Automation Anywhere, but they introduced them yesterday."
"As a business user, I would like to have a feature wherein the bot is run on demand, whenever an email with a specific keyword or whenever a specific pers sends an email to the bot's email address."
"If there is an area for improvement, it would be in the mobile aspect."
"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."
"Agiloft Contract Lifecycle Managment (CLM) is very difficult to set rules and to follow based on contract type, as the mapping and the level of tech and coding that is needed for that requires developer skills."
"Requests were clunky. Once we got it into the system, the process did not work well for redlining and negotiations."
"I feel there are always opportunities to improve Agiloft Contract Lifecycle Managment (CLM)."
"One possible area of improvement would be reporting."
"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."
"The needed improvements for PandaDoc include that the workflow functionality is limited."
"PandaDoc can be improved by making formatting and adding graphics and visual elements much easier."
"One way PandaDoc can be improved is that sometimes the automatic placement of fields is incorrect."
"One way PandaDoc can be improved is that it does not have the greatest notifying system; sometimes it can be annoying."
"There are not a lot of areas for improvement. However, it could have better integration with meeting tools so you can go over a proposal with clients face-to-face."
"I think PandaDoc could be improved, especially in terms of the UI, which could be improved somewhat."
"Sometimes the fillable fields in PandaDoc don't automatically map properly, requiring manual adjustments, which can be somewhat time-wasting."
"PandaDoc can be improved with up-to-date documentation that would be helpful, especially for new learners, along with better handling of license and license add-ons, and allowing coordination of fields across roles or user sections."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"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!"
"We purchase on a bot basis. Our costs are approximately $5,000."
"Automation Anywhere falls within a mid-range price point when compared to other RPA tools on the market."
"Currently, it stands as one of the more expensive RPA tools available."
"We save approximately 10,000 hours per year."
"Automation Anywhere is flexible in terms of costing and licensing."
"It's somewhat pricier than some of the other tools that we've used, and the breakout between the different applications is also somewhat costly. If they can make it a little more cost-effective or bundle packages a little bit more, that would be beneficial."
"Our company is investing a lot of money in Automation Anywhere. They have saved money wherever humans are working. They invest a lot of money in FTEs and other logistics, so the money saving is very pretty good with Automation Anywhere. While I don't know the exact figure, the tool is saving us millions of dollars as well as saving about 40,000 hours in the last year."
