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.

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 core RPA capability is valuable."
"One of the most valuable features is the different possibilities it gives you to manipulate the interface screens that you're working with."
"The product has improved our organization cost-wise and bank savings in transactions. Everything has been changed for the better."
"I would rate Automation Anywhere overall a nine out of ten."
"This solution is valuable because it can automate tasks which would otherwise be left for us to process manually."
"The features of Automation Anywhere are quite impressive; one aspect I particularly appreciate is the integration of AI, which has reached a mature level in its capability for agentic processes, greatly enhancing product usability and enabling adaptation to complex use cases."
"The best feature is its ability to combine Automation Anywhere with AI to build intelligent bots."
"RPA platform with a good accuracy rate, variable management, and OCR feature. It has a straightforward setup."
"The solution works well overall."
"This product is quite scalable."
"I would say that the most valuable feature in Blue Prism's Virtual Workforce is that it is quite stable and this is imperative to the industry we serve."
"Blue Prism is a server-based product that is a more mature and stable product compared to what we were using earlier."
"Last year that Blue Prism introduced a community version, and have really opened up their services."
"This solution is pretty stable, and some of our clients have automated complex processes and it works well."
"It automates our accounts payable process, requiring no human interaction and saving us a hundred percent of the time."
"It provides good, clean data that enhances our AI initiatives."
"The solution is very easy to use."
"The initial setup is very quick."
 

Cons

"Excel, Outlook, and Word automation are very difficult with V11."
"The workflow has a complex drag-and-drop interface that is not user-friendly and requires a good technical understanding, which can be challenging for users."
"Sometimes, the recorder from Automation Anywhere does not work well and is inaccurate. This should be improved."
"I would like to have the MetaBot screen name title dynamic instead of static."
"They have done a fairly good job on the RPA space, but more and more, the whole cognitive AI space and machine learning are where I see the industry actually going. I'm sure Automation Anywhere is also focused on that topic, but we would like to see more coming down the pipe, as early as possible."
"Sometimes, while recording, the screen hangs and we are not able to perform any actions during that time."
"I haven't gone deep in the tool, but so far it looks good."
"If I were to mention one area for improvement, it would be on advanced AI commands, such as advanced coding. While this is not critically needed since Automation Anywhere is doing great, improving in that area could be beneficial."
"Blue Prism Cloud needs to improve support, though documentation is available online. It is not detailed, which does not help."
"I think that there are some improvements in the product performance that are needed in Blue Prism Cloud...The initial setup of the product needs a lot of time and effort."
"This solution comes at a medium to high price point. They need to work on their pricing to enable smaller enterprises to get the benefit of using the product."
"The issue is that it is not dynamic or intelligent."
"There's a need to deal with unstructured input with RPA."
"Decipher, one of their solutions, is a waste of time."
"Blue Prism Cloud's pricing needs to be improved because it is a little bit more costly than other automation tools like UIPath."
"The product’s pricing needs improvement."
"The solution should come with language customization, which would simplify its use for our customers."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The solution itself is free unless we want to add the support option but we have to pay for the bots we use."
"Pricing is too high for small-scale groups. The Control Room yearly fee is high, making it difficult to break even."
"It costs up to $1,200 per license."
"If I compare it with Blue Prism, Automation Anywhere is cheaper. Blue Prism is very costly. Automation Anywhere's pricing follows the market, not less and not more."
"The cost of this solution is a little bit high, but it is worth the price."
"In terms of pricing, it's not at all cheap, and that's a concern. The licensing cost is very high. While I don't know the exact prices of other tools, Microsoft offers the lowest pricing for its RPA platform compared to UiPath and Automation Anywhere."
"Talk to your manager and try to procure an automation license for training. This will allow you to train people, so you can move to automation."
"It is one of the most affordable RPA solutions, and as for licensing, they offer a community edition that greatly helps anyone who aspires to learn about the product before buying the enterprise solution."
"The licensing structure is complex and the minimum contract length is three years."
"When compared with UiPath, I believe it will be difficult for Blue Prism to maintain its market share."
"This solution comes at a medium to high price point. They need to work on their pricing to enable smaller enterprises to get the benefit of using the product."
"We found the pricing reasonable, and it aligned with our budgetary requirements."
"The price is very competitive when you are comparing to other providers."
"I rate the platform’s pricing a seven out of ten."
"The pricing is fine."
"It is highly-priced."
"There is no licensing fee for our customers."
