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 technical support is fine. As soon as we raise an issue, we can get the technical support that we need. They provide the solutions to our issues."
"I also very much like the integrating of this solution with other applications. We have some old web applications that we've been using, and we've been writing some of our own DLLs to integrate with it. It has worked really well."
"This solution is easy to use and easy to learn compared to Blue Prism, UiPath, and others."
"From the customer's perspective, the biggest benefits are automation of the security and monitoring systems."
"With Automation Anywhere, our clients can get their work done fast and in an automated manner."
"A user can easily adopt this technology and utilize it, when compared to the other available resources in the market."
"It has helped us a lot with our digitized work, and we have automated a lot of the bank's processes."
"All the data that comes in has to be QC'd, and Automation Anywhere helps us by automating the QC part."
"The most valuable feature is the ability to write custom code, which makes it more helpful than Automation Anywhere or other RPA tools."
"One of the most valuable features is automating manual and repetitive business processes, streamlining operations and reducing manual labour."
"The most valuable feature is the customizability."
"We can save on staff costs by automating processes."
"Blue Prism Cloud is a stable solution."
"If you are a company that is looking for a solution that is easy to deploy, this would be the perfect solution for you."
"The automation of the processes are very good; it's the most valuable feature of the solution and the product itself is quite mature."
"The solution works well overall."
"The initial setup is very quick."
"The solution is very easy to use."
 

Cons

"My experience has been that if the person who codes the bot is not very well-trained, then they might create unstable bots. So, it's not the platform. It is just how somebody has coded the bots which can bring lot of instability to them. I recommend that when you are using a coder that the person well-trained and have a good amount of experience already working on bots. They shouldn't be newbie or beginner who comes in to code because that will impact the quality of the code itself."
"With our current version, we are experiencing issues with the access of the Control Room. Therefore, at the moment, we cannot really scale."
"Using Automation Anywhere is neither easy nor hard, but against IBM Robotic Process Automation, IBM Robotic Process Automation wins."
"Automation Anywhere could assist in this transition."
"Unfortunately, this process was not used for a long time due to latency issues and a functionality gap."
"My experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing has been mixed."
"Now, it is a big complex to download the product and install it, then again to install the patches. So, it takes a lot of time to download it."
"The learning curve for Automation Anywhere is steep, especially for advanced features like IQ Bot and API automation, which require technical expertise."
"Blue Prism Cloud's pricing needs to be improved because it is a little bit more costly than other automation tools like UIPath."
"Blue Prism is slightly difficult for the non-technical user."
"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."
"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."
"Lacking advance features like CIO and optical character recognition"
"Blue Prism Cloud needs to improve its AI capabilities."
"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."
"I do not like the web-based support model they have."
"The solution should come with language customization, which would simplify its use for our customers."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Our company is investing a lot of money in Automation Anywhere. They have saved money wherever humans are working. They invest a lot of money in FTEs and other logistics, so the money saving is very pretty good with Automation Anywhere. While I don't know the exact figure, the tool is saving us millions of dollars as well as saving about 40,000 hours in the last year."
"Automation Anywhere's pricing falls within the mid-range, but the long-term benefits outweigh the initial investment."
"It is cost-efficient in terms of licensing. I found their support good when I was working for the airline client. However, I hear from my managers here that the support price for Tier 3 or premium is a little higher. That is why we are not going for Automation Anywhere. Its price was okay for our client, but for us, it seems expensive."
"My understanding is that the license cost of Automation Anywhere is more reasonable than UiPath and Blue Prism."
"The licensing cost for Automation Anywhere is high."
"Yearly, our licensing costs are about $90,000 to $100,000. There will be additional licensing costs when we add more Bot Runners to our infrastructure."
"When I started working on it, it was difficult to obtain a trial version (barrier to entry). Now, they have a Community Edition, which may make it easy to get started."
"It is the most economically friendly and it provides you with a lot of functions."
"The price is very competitive when you are comparing to other providers."
"I am not sure how we are set up today, but I recall we had an annual License."
"Blue Prism Cloud’s pricing is fine for commercial usage."
"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."
"Blue Prism comes at a higher price point compared to other solutions on the market."
"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."
"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."
"When compared with UiPath, I believe it will be difficult for Blue Prism to maintain its market share."
"There is no licensing fee for our customers."
