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.

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

"Within one minute we can view more than one thousand students and their results."
"We have a very resourceful pipeline to use AA bots in our RPA projects and we are looking to be more engaged with the AA team in deploying these bots."
"The best part about A2019 is its ease of use. You don't need to be a coding champ or an expert to use and implement A2019 in automating tasks. It's very easy to learn, tweak, and implement in your day-to-day tasks, especially features like capture/record is completely marvelous."
"Anywhere contributed to increased efficiency, reduced manual efforts, and notable time savings across various processes."
"Automation Anywhere is a good platform with extensive capabilities that has innovated and kept their platform more centered and relevant in the market by introducing AI and agentic capabilities."
"Automation Anywhere has evolved significantly and upgraded itself to provide agentic AI and AI-based automation solutions for document automation, with modern features to train documents ensuring high accuracy and repeatability over time."
"We used to set up 150 to 250 products in a week; that has come down to a day, and now I initiate the bot, go home, and by the time I am back it is done, so time is something that we are saving, we are becoming more efficient, and our partners are happy."
"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."
"Blue Prism Cloud is an easy to access and user-friendly solution."
"UiPath is also user-friendly."
"We used it for process automation."
"The solution is very complete. It's a good solution, for the kind of features that they offer."
"This solution comes with a lot of good features."
"Decipher has been a valuable feature that many of our clients use to extract information from documents."
"The reusability of the solution is excellent. It's a superior feature - far superior to any other tool on the market."
"This product is quite scalable."
"The initial setup is very quick."
"The solution is very easy to use."
 

Cons

"There is a dependency issue around the control room. If the control room is not working, the bots will not work."
"The initial setup was a bit difficult and took more time than expected."
"When I compare Automation Anywhere with the competition, some of the competitors have ready-made, off-the-shelf modules. For example, UiPath integrates with Windows AD. That is missing as of now in Automation Anywhere. If that became available it would also be great."
"Regarding the UI, once you're on some of the screens there are fixed dialogues, they are a set size, so there's a lot of horizontal scrolls and vertical scrolls. If I want to do something that is purely business-related and is somewhat complex to write or is nuanced, I sometimes have trouble implementing that inside of the Automation Anywhere script."
"Looking at the POC's requirements and use cases, our customers are asking us for the OCRing of handwritten documents."
"Additional features should involve the Cognitive Section where we need more Advance solutions involving ML & AI."
"In the debugging mode, it writes all the logs to text files, but it doesn't ever clean them up."
"I don't find a lot outside of the internal community forum."
"They should work on the solution's pricing."
"The version control could be improved and made consistent. There is a discrepancy between the versions on premise and the cloud versions."
"Blue Prism Cloud needs to improve support, though documentation is available online. It is not detailed, which does not help."
"I wouldn't call Blue Prism user-friendly. It's one of its downfalls."
"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."
"Improvement should be per customer requirements."
"It would be useful if some of the information protocols came built within the app instead having to create them."
"The solution is unable to read some UI components in legacy systems."
"The solution should come with language customization, which would simplify its use for our customers."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"They are already coming out with a community license, which is really good. That's something that I wish to have."
"The cost is affordable, which makes an easy barrier to entry for the RPA market."
"It's cheaper than other similar solutions."
"We have purchased licenses, but are trying to obtain more bot programmer licenses."
"We're paying a monthly subscription fee for the bot and for services. There are no additional costs beyond the standard licensing fee."
"It is expensive. Automation Anywhere has reduced the price slightly, as we have grown. However, the price is still excessive enough that we are engaged in PoCs on other tools."
"The setup cost for this is onetime and licensing is based on your choice of product."
"Annual licensing costs would be about $100,000."
"There are many RPA solutions available from different vendors and the pricing for Blue Prism is competitive."
"I am not sure how we are set up today, but I recall we had an annual License."
"The pricing is fine."
"The licensing structure is complex and the minimum contract length is three years."
"We found the pricing reasonable, and it aligned with our budgetary requirements."
"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."
"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."
"There is no licensing fee for our customers."
