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.

Cloud & AI Architect at a tech vendor with 10,001+ employees
Automation and AI integration enhance performance and user experience
The improvements or enhancements I would like to see in Blue Prism Cloud revolve around further developing server-client architecture, focusing on centralized control for remote agents. I believe more capabilities in that area could be beneficial. At the moment, I don't recall any specific features or functionalities missing from Blue Prism Cloud that come to mind. In terms of complexity, I find that Blue Prism Cloud is somewhat straightforward to use. Flexibility-wise, it engages well with Microsoft-based technologies. However, there are challenges with OCR capabilities that remain an issue. While there are readily available features that work well, the effectiveness does depend significantly on the type of use case I am implementing.

Works at a tech services company with 201-500 employees
A scalable solution which is easy to install and use
I do not use the solution personally as I am not the end-user. It is merely one of the solutions that we offer to our customers. We act as consultants, solution providers. We have around 60 customers who are using the solution. I would, for sure, recommend the solution to others. I consider the profile of the project to be quite good at the moment. I rate Another Monday as a nine out of ten.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The recording feature accelerates the timeline of your implementation."
"We are getting some phenomenal straight through processing, so we took what would have taken 30 to 35 people and are able to do that a little bit more accurately with about six."
"At the most granular level, automating people's daily tasks has been helpful by freeing them up to do higher value-add activities, which is definitely beneficial."
"It is a good tool and one of the market leaders."
"The technical support is something that I rely on if I have any queries or if I have to work on another alternate approach."
"It's easy to use for business users. Everything is good. It's a nice product."
"My clients have seen tremendous value when it comes to automating business processes, and the robust nature of the application allows them to scale their business processes pretty quickly."
"This solution is easy to use and understand, even for a non-technical person."
"The user-friendly interface of Blue Prism Cloud is nice, and compared to the previous one, it has some advanced features such as drag and drop, PDF extraction, and accessing external applications with connectors, which has helped me design and automate processes."
"UiPath is also user-friendly."
"If you are a company that is looking for a solution that is easy to deploy, this would be the perfect solution for you."
"It is secure and supports unattended mode of operations."
"If I look at the top four, I believe it is far more user-friendly than the other competition."
"What I like best about Blue Prism Cloud is that it's secure, robust, and has 24 x 7 support available. I also find the solution quick and intelligent. Even a non-coder can easily use it."
"The primary focus lies in integrating the three major cloud platforms with Blue Prism Cloud: Microsoft Azure, Amazon AWS, and GCP. This integration goes beyond security measures for the primary template policies. It also includes addressing compliance requirements. For instance, I can incorporate specific compliance templates and policies generated in Blue Prism and integrate them with local templates for ISO 27001 and GDPR, particularly concerning software tools and headsets. This integration eliminates the need for auditing and reviewing technical details individually. Instead, I can simply examine the container report. This approach proves beneficial when clients heavily rely on container environments."
"It’s scalable."
"The solution is very easy to use."
"The initial setup is very quick."
 

Cons

"Attended automation sometimes might go into exceptions, thus we need to monitor it in-between, then check whether it is working properly. This way, we ensure the bot is working properly."
"We would like to see more capability for integration and more customization available with some features."
"While the ease of use for non-tech users is good, it could be improved."
"I feel the cost of licensing is very high for the A2019 version."
"I would like to see a bot button."
"I would like to leverage the AI component without the requirement to know a coding language, such as Python."
"Cognitive services and PDF file automation should be refined."
"I would like it to have AI and ML capabilities."
"Blue Prism is slightly difficult for the non-technical user."
"They should work on the solution's pricing."
"The main issue is screen scraping with Blue Prism gives us a big challenge because we need to define which technologies are web-based have been built instead of by itself discovering the technology that it is built on."
"It would be useful if some of the information protocols came built within the app instead having to create them."
"Lacking advance features like CIO and optical character recognition"
"However, there are challenges with OCR capabilities that remain an issue."
"The product could be improved by including advance features like OCR - optical character recognition - which are currently not native to the product."
"Blue Prism could be more efficient in its resource use. Having one LPR agent per virtual machine wastes resources. If we could execute many applications at the same time, it would improve and optimize the resource used."
"The solution should come with language customization, which would simplify its use for our customers."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Considering the cost, it is a bit high, but worth the price because the output accuracy is high."
"Automation Anywhere might have a higher upfront cost than some competitors, but its extensive features and seamless integration with other tools can save organizations money in the long run."
"Cost is the biggest area in need of improvement for Automation Anywhere. Annually it's $250,000. That's what deterred us right away."
"We are currently negotiating a contract. Depending upon that, we will definitely look at increasing usage."
"I am not sure about the costs, but two Bot Runners and four Bot Creators may cost approximately 1CR."
"I don't deal have cost specifics but I can say it is a tool that provides value for the money."
"Automation Anywhere offers a subscription-based licensing model for cloud, on-premises, and hybrid deployments."
"There are a lot of savings in terms of effort and time as well as costs. Automation Anywhere automates a lot of processes. It allows an organization to save the efforts of a lot people. It saves a lot of time because people can't work a whole day (24/7), but Automation Anywhere bots can."
"Blue Prism Cloud's cost is very high."
"We pay about $15,000 per quarter in licensing costs. We don't have to pay for any other extra costs. There isn't, for example, an extra cost for technical support. We just pay the licensing."
"There are costs for the machine to run the robots."
"It is highly-priced."
"The price is very competitive when you are comparing to other providers."
"Though I don't have many details, I think Blue Prism Cloud is an expensive product compared to the other tools in the market since you need to pay for resources like machines."
"The pricing is fine."
"I rate the platform’s pricing a seven out of ten."
"There is no licensing fee for our customers."
