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 simplicity and ease of use is the most valuable part of Automation Anywhere."
"Automation Anywhere has and continues to help us deliver multiple complex and very complex use cases in record time."
"There is a very accelerated learning curve on the platform."
"We got the solution because of its ease of use with the API call, avoiding the use of developers."
"Automation Anywhere has minimized this risk, saving costs related to rectification and improving compliance adherence to avoid penalties in a tightly regulated industry."
"One of our customers here in the Middle East has saved around 10,000 man-hours for a telecom company with the help of 50 to 60 robots initially, and now the same company is using around 4,000 robots now."
"Overall, the product is very good where the repetitive tasks are more in manufacturing industries and the finance department."
"Automation Anywhere is fully configurable."
"This is a very stable solution and it does not require too much knowledge on programming because it has a bunch of native features that work consistently."
"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."
"This product is quite scalable."
"I would say that the stability of Blue Prism is superior to any of the competing products because of the maintainability of the features and the openness of the tool."
"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."
"It's easy to use, the interface, the the the the queries is which we use. It's user friendly."
"This product has additional functionality over Blue Prism Cloud Enterprise."
"Blue Prism offers the whole package for LPR developers; it's a useful tool to automate anything, and as an LPR developer, I think the most important feature is that it lets you get anything into blocks of code that you can use anywhere."
"The initial setup is very quick."
"The solution is very easy to use."
 

Cons

"Version 11 is a bit heavy. At times, it takes a toll on the computing resources."
"After implementing, I have seen that some customers are not getting ROI from that, so they are stepping back from using Automation Anywhere."
"Automation Anywhere changed OCR features in A2019. My suggestion is to improve the OCR command scope and usability. We use OCR for PDF data extraction as we use in V. 11.x product."
"Technical support needs to be much faster."
"We have had so many stability issues."
"I would like to see them continue building out documentation with more video-aides."
"The IQ Bots have a lot of room for improvement in terms of accuracy level. We need to improvise a lot. I'm facing another big challenge with one of the use cases. We raised a ticket and did multiple follow-ups with support, but the accuracy still isn't up to the mark."
"If we are going through the high availability in the IQ Bot setup, it's a bit complex."
"The vendor does not make their pricing clear when you are searching for it, which is something that needs to be improved."
"It takes a while to get up and running."
"The tool’s customer support should improve. There were instances where I tried to call them up and was put on hold. However, they do revert back through emails once a ticket has been issued. They should be quick with their responses on calls."
"Lacking advance features like CIO and optical character recognition"
"Pricing for Blue Prism Cloud is a pain as it's a little higher."
"Selecting the right business processes that are stable enough to automate can be challenging."
"The pricing of the solution could be improved. It's a bit expensive right now. They should work to make it more competitive."
"I wouldn't call Blue Prism user-friendly. It's one of its downfalls."
"The solution should come with language customization, which would simplify its use for our customers."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"We are interested in saving manual engineer man-hours. So far, we have saved $100,000."
"We would like them to change the license model of charging per bot."
"Because it reduced the time duration of our processes, our costs went down."
"Pricing is affordable and I would recommend beginning with the Starter Package."
"The solution's pricing is pretty decent."
"We save approximately 10,000 hours per year."
"The pricing model can be a bit more flexible."
"They have a ridiculously expensive bot licensing structure, especially for the Asian region."
"I rate the platform’s pricing a seven out of ten."
"There are many RPA solutions available from different vendors and the pricing for Blue Prism is competitive."
"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."
"Blue Prism Cloud’s pricing is fine for commercial usage."
"Blue Prism Cloud's cost is very high."
"Blue Prism comes at a higher price point compared to other solutions on the market."
"The licensing of the solution is on a subscription-based model and costs around 4,999 for one bot's license. If someone wants to increase the number of bots you want from Blue Prism, then they provide a discount."
"There are costs for the machine to run the robots."
"There is no licensing fee for our customers."
