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.

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

"We are saving almost four FTEs, and it is far better in terms of savings."
"This solution is valuable because it can automate tasks which would otherwise be left for us to process manually."
"The most valuable feature is the ability to transform data into clusters."
"Courses on Automation Anywhere University are very easy to learn."
"Automated data processing is the most valuable feature of Automation Anywhere."
"AA helped our clients to achieve their goals faster and more efficiently, also reaching ROI very quickly."
"Automation Anywhere helped us to reduce the work time on data operations."
"The deployment of Automation Anywhere went smoothly. They were very supportive with the migration of all of our existing automations and also being there and supportive with the development of the new automations."
"If I look at the top four, I believe it is far more user-friendly than the other competition."
"It is secure and supports unattended mode of operations."
"Its AI features allow customers to find specific documents via an index."
"The most valuable feature of a non-programmer is diagrams. Someone from an IT background can find it easier to start automation."
"The ease of building automation and the development environment"
"Blue Prism is well known for being used in banking and security organizations. Its security is superior compared to UiPath and other RPA tools."
"The corporate leverage is better with Blue Prism. They just present better in a large corporation. It's easier to sell suits and ties than it is sneakers and jeans in financial institutions. That's not really about the application per se; it's the perception."
"It automates our accounts payable process, requiring no human interaction and saving us a hundred percent of the time."
"The initial setup is very quick."
"The solution is very easy to use."
 

Cons

"There is still a way to go for Automation Anywhere where we can see improvement."
"We have a lot of use cases that depend on certain Java applets, and currently we're not able to leverage the Object Cloning that would speed up our automation designing. So we have to revert to more image recognition-type of designing, and it just takes a long time to get that bot built."
"They want to get more accuracy in handwritten forms, which might take some time."
"They should improve process discovery features."
"Additional features should involve the Cognitive Section where we need more Advance solutions involving ML & AI."
"The older versions, like version 8 and 9, were not very stable."
"One area requiring improvement is the debugging process. When I use a multi-structure with conditions to switch from one bot to another, successful debugging of the entire process is not feasible. Each bot has to be debugged individually."
"When we try to process structured documents but with some little pen marks, improper partitions, or faded documents, IQ Bot fails to extract data properly out of them."
"The cost is a bit high. Other tools are much cheaper."
"They should improve the user-friendliness and they should change their business model."
"Blue Prism Cloud's pricing needs to be improved because it is a little bit more costly than other automation tools like UIPath."
"Edge browser extensions could be made slightly more resilient. It would be nice if they could package new libraries for end users rather than have them search for libraries."
"The issue is that it is not dynamic or intelligent."
"I would like to see a web-based control room, rather than the one that is in-built with the desktop version."
"Blue Prism might consider adding package options to allow users to come onboard in different ways that meet their needs rather than buying in to the whole package."
"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

"Costs savings have been seen by employing bots for multiple shifts instead of people."
"Automation Anywhere pricing and licensing are competitive compared to the other automation vendors."
"Based on what I've heard, it's costly, but I don't know much about its pricing."
"We are not receiving the right information about their features, e.g. Automation Anywhere University, or anything that they are selling. They need to improve their documentation."
"As our team size increases, we may get some more licenses for the tool."
"Automation Anywhere is somewhat expensive. The prices are slightly higher, but if you need something, you must pay for it."
"They give us a good deal on the licensing because we bundle and customize things. If you ask to get a bulk business deal, you will receive more benefit. If you take other products from the suite, like IQ Bot, you can also receive a deal on the licensing."
"It is not too expensive, but there are many tools available in the market that can provide the same functionality at a cheaper price."
"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 price is very competitive when you are comparing to other providers."
"I would rate the pricing a five out of ten, with one being cheap and ten being expensive."
"The pricing for Blue Prism Cloud is two out of ten because it's higher than every other technology. My company is on a three-year Blue Prism Cloud license."
"There are many RPA solutions available from different vendors and the pricing for Blue Prism is competitive."
"The licensing structure is complex and the minimum contract length is three years."
"Annual licensing costs were somewhere between $5,000 - $10,000 for the development tool. For the control tower, I think fees were about $50,000 annually."
"Blue Prism Cloud's cost is very high."
"There is no licensing fee for our customers."
