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

"Adding Automation Anywhere is a tremendous value-add in the long-term."
"Automation Anywhere has helped save many man-hours in my organization by letting us automate monotonous and repetitive tasks."
"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."
"What Automation Anywhere is offering is amazing from a back-end office accounting standpoint."
"Since implementing the solution, the tasks are taking place in a seamless manner. As long as the process is not changed, there is the ease of replicability. Repeatable tasks constantly get done without any challenges."
"It is very self-explanatory, making it easy for non-technical users to develop."
"The solution is easy to learn and with it, it's easy to replicate knowledge."
"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."
"It's a very sound tool with a good reputation for having a good security model, which is important to a lot of companies and it's got more of an object-oriented design flavor to it."
"It automates our accounts payable process, requiring no human interaction and saving us a hundred percent of the time."
"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."
"We used it for process automation."
"The most valuable feature is the speed at which we are able to implement solutions that can interact through the user interface in the same way that a human being would."
"Last year that Blue Prism introduced a community version, and have really opened up their services."
"The most valuable feature is security."
"The most valuable feature of a non-programmer is diagrams. Someone from an IT background can find it easier to start automation."
"The solution is very easy to use."
"The initial setup is very quick."
 

Cons

"One way Automation Anywhere can be improved is in ticketing."
"I feel the tool has to provide deeper insights for debugging issues, considering both internal and external factors."
"The feature, which might be interesting for companies that don't already have an identity management system, was a bit tricky because I would have preferred the system to directly rely on our corporate identity and access management system to manage the bot's credentials."
"I believe there is room for improvement in Automation Anywhere, particularly in their training programs, which need more development."
"I would like to see more bots available right out-of-the-box in the SAP area. For example, if you take the overall OTC in our organization, we have to contact 15 teams. Even if we provide one big bot for the OTC, it won't work. It will not be used by one person. So if there could be more specific bots out-of-the-box, that would be really helpful."
"We face issues when we need to increase volumes. Currently, it is failing for some reason, and we don't know the reason. It fails or stops, then we need to see what is going on. We have to fix that, then our developers need to rerun it. These are mostly practical challenges for our team who uses it on daily basis."
"Especially while using v11, I often experience freezes with OCR extraction from PDF files."
"It would be helpful if we could start running a process from a particular step."
"Blue Prism Cloud could improve by having more innovations for the solution, such as more capability. I am looking for cloud-based services, such as Power Automate that we can recommend for cloud customers. UiPath and Automation Anywhere have more innovation in their solution."
"Blue Prism is slightly difficult for the non-technical user."
"The solution is unable to read some UI components in legacy systems."
"It takes a while to get up and running."
"Having more AI functionality would be an improvement."
"Decipher, one of their solutions, is a waste of time."
"Personally, I would recommend using something else for automation projects, but I'm not in a position to make that choice in my company."
"The AI part is currently missing in Blue Prism Studio... It would be good if the AI part is included in Blue Prism Studio, which can make it much more efficient and good to work."
"The solution should come with language customization, which would simplify its use for our customers."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"There is an annual license to use the solution."
"My only suggestion in terms of pricing is very generic and that is to consider that as much as RPA saves cost and does automation, please get a realistic estimation done on whether you are really achieving any ROI over your investment with RPA."
"The control room access gives the ability to create different roles, which helps when purchasing additional licensing."
"We are currently negotiating a contract. Depending upon that, we will definitely look at increasing usage."
"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."
"We would like them to change the license model of charging per bot."
"The pricing of AA is similar to UiPath."
"The pricing model can be a bit more flexible."
"Pricing can be negotiated in situations where there will be heavy usage."
"The pricing is fine."
"I rate the platform’s pricing a seven out of ten."
"It is highly-priced."
"Blue Prism Cloud’s pricing is fine for commercial usage."
"The price is very competitive when you are comparing to other providers."
"When compared with UiPath, I believe it will be difficult for Blue Prism to maintain its market share."
"There are many RPA solutions available from different vendors and the pricing for Blue Prism is competitive."
"There is no licensing fee for our customers."
