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

"There is one user registration process in one application where there is no API which has been published by that framework. This is a very proprietary in one application by a third-party. So, there was a help desk, and whenever a call went to the help desk, they had a front-end where they created these user registrations. Now, this is completely automated for all employees who are onboarded. We receive the data, it is put it into Excel, and from Excel, it will update it into the particular tool where the registration happens."
"The bottom line is that it is extremely simple and developer-friendly."
"Automation Anywhere offers better value and is more effective for organizations seeking cost-effective solutions."
"Some of the really impactful features of working with Automation Anywhere are the ability to design and partner with their experts to come up with our solutions."
"Web-based control is the most valuable feature. We can access it from anywhere in the world with the control room URL and in any browser. Bot Insights make our report generation and other insights view easier. We can export the data in the form of CSV, PDF, etc."
"We have a bot running on a computer that is doing manual tasks that we used to do."
"Automation Anywhere offers the capability of integrating the DLL files with meta bot and hence the developer can use DLL files to connect to applications likes outlook, SAP, etc"
"With the help of Automation Anywhere, we are able to upload 10k documents in 1 to 4 working hours which is a great achievement for us."
"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."
"Agiloft Contract Lifecycle Management (CLM) has positively impacted my organization by improving the lifecycle of contract reviews and approvals, which may have saved some time for the legal team to do other work."
"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."
"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."
"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."
"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."
"Since using PandaDoc, we have been able to save costs and time, with estimated savings of 40 to 50 percent."
"PandaDoc has positively impacted my organization by helping to move the approvals faster and get the agreements in."
"PandaDoc is a very powerful tool and is very cost-effective, making it affordable for any size of organization."
"PandaDoc is a game changer for our organization."
"The best features PandaDoc offers are the intuitive and visual interface, along with how organic the use is."
"We have been able to retain our clients globally, sending documents, letters, and everything through PandaDoc with a professional appearance, and they are able to sign it on the go, especially using their mobile phones, and they are very satisfied with our services."
"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 is a great tool, especially when sending contracts to my clients."
 

Cons

"The IQ Bot could use improvement."
"I suggest that they add some features in dashboard, where you can say, "These type of features are things that people like more." You want to add those to your project and showcase them to the client so they will be happier. Because you know what features people like if you give a suggestion, that is good for everyone."
"Automation Anywhere should have more Excel-related functionality."
"When it comes to Citrix automation, AA should improve or add more features in such a way that all the commands should work when automating a Citrix application."
"I just came to understand that there is a cloud attached to it. I would like to see how the cloud is going to work, because every application is coming out with a cloud version. If you are not on-premise, then you will need to have Citrix automation."
"The debugger is also a weakness of the tool, forcing the developer to use error handling or message box to map errors. Few applications take more time for loading when integrated."
"To achieve a perfect ten, I would want to see new features working as expected and further advancements in automation."
"Automation Anywhere could improve its integration with Python and other programming languages."
"Requests were clunky. Once we got it into the system, the process did not work well for redlining and negotiations."
"If there is an area for improvement, it would be in the mobile aspect."
"There are many improvement points for Agiloft Contract Lifecycle Management (CLM)."
"Agiloft Contract Lifecycle Management (CLM) could be improved in the area of catering more from a CLM perspective."
"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."
"One area of improvement I would suggest Agiloft to focus on would be how users interact with attachments to records."
"One possible area of improvement would be reporting."
"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."
"The only problem I noticed with one of the automations I was creating was the ability for the customer to choose what product they want to add into their invoice."
"One way PandaDoc can be improved is that it does not have the greatest notifying system; sometimes it can be annoying."
"I think PandaDoc could be improved, especially in terms of the UI, which could be improved somewhat."
"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."
"PandaDoc can be improved at the interface level, as it needs some improvement because it is not user-friendly."
"From time to time, PandaDoc was very slow. I remember one or two days where it was very hard to use it, but that was rather the exception than the rule."
"I wish PandaDoc would be more affordable for automations, as the credits we have are very limited and expensive for the agreements sent by automations."
"Sometimes the fillable fields in PandaDoc don't automatically map properly, requiring manual adjustments, which can be somewhat time-wasting."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"They have a ridiculously expensive bot licensing structure, especially for the Asian region."
"Automation Anywhere is expensive."
"The price is very reasonable."
"In terms of monetary savings, we automated a bot in three days that has saved us $30,000 in costs."
"We are currently negotiating a contract. Depending upon that, we will definitely look at increasing usage."
"While calculating the setup cost you should account for the server, virtual machines, product licenses, maintenance costs, and running costs."
"The cost of Automation Anywhere is high in Turkey due to the weak economy."
"Considering the cost, it is a bit high, but worth the price because the output accuracy is high."
