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.

Leading-edge NLP capabilities, efficient training of machine learning models, and the automation saves us significant time
The machine learning capability is good. The algorithm helps us to get the right data with less training effort. The technology seems to be a little bit ahead of the standard NLP software. They use more pattern recognition, rather than basing everything on reading static text. The problem with relying on an unchanging text is that it can depend on things such as the formatting, and where things appear within a document. This solution can process complex formats, which is helpful for us because we get a lot of PDFs and they come in many different formats. As an example, a carrier might include a list of their rates in a table, whereas a different carrier will write their rates into a paragraph, and yet another will put them into some sort of graphic. If you only capture text then you will only capture part of that data. Pattern recognition ultimately helps us to circumvent the problems in dealing with format variability in documents and allows us to capture the right data. When it comes to predicting what it is that a document needs manual intervention, CMR Plus does it pretty well. They have a QA cycle that is usually able to highlight such data. The content recognition ability, in terms of giving us only the data that we need and nothing else, is pretty good. It has a positive effect on our efficiency and by extension, it impacts our infrastructure costs.

Delivers increased productivity and streamlines fraud processing in banking, though technical support could be faster
Before AutomationEdge, we had to hire coder-level experts with Java or Python knowledge. This approach took considerable time and required error handling to automate processes. With this tool, all processes are automatically handled with errors, and no-code automation is available. The cost for a developer is now significantly lower. Previously, we hired highly efficient developers with high salary packages. The license cost of 5 to 10 lakhs per year for one person to automate is equivalent to a person's annual salary. With the license and a developer hired at 3 to 5 lakhs, we can automate 40 to 50 processes.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"We were able to replace a lot of the manual and data entry workload that our accounts payable clerks were doing, and the work that was done before by this original group can now be done by four people."
"My experience with the deployment of the solution is positive; it's fast, and we have not encountered any problems related to that."
"Automation Anywhere's error handling is its most valuable feature. It sends you an email when there's an error and helps you find the cause quickly. It walks you through exactly how you should handle it."
"Automation Anywhere is very easy to handle because it is a low-code platform, so anyone can learn very quickly."
"Pulling data from web pages using Object Cloning has been an absolute delight."
"During the digital transformation of a company, the number of internal portals and applications increases leading to an increased number of data silos."
"Working with the Automation Anywhere application is very easy in our environment."
"It is highly scalable on cloud and virtual machines."
"This product has helped to boost our overall efficiency and performance, giving us the ability to automate many manual tasks and collect the right data for our analytics so we can serve our clients more effectively."
"Pattern recognition ultimately helps us to circumvent the problems in dealing with format variability in documents and allows us to capture the right data."
"The automation provided by this solution has saved us a lot of time."
"It helps us with cost optimization and easy implementation."
"The studio design is fine compared to other similar products. There is nothing extraordinary about it, but at the same time, there are not any negatives."
"It is a valuable tool for developing efficient solutions, especially in finance and banking."
"The initial setup was easy and straightforward."
"The ability to automate our processes with external plug-ins and zero code is the most valuable feature."
"We can quickly adapt to our end users."
"Stability-wise, I rate the solution a nine out of ten...I rate the technical support of the solution a nine out of ten."
"The most valuable feature of AutomationEdge is creating accounts."
 

Cons

"If I want to do something that is more purely business-related and is somewhat complex to write or is nuanced, I sometimes have trouble implementing that inside of the Automation Anywhere script. I feel limited at times with some of the looping and some of the branching and some of the ways to make procedure calls when I have a complex business issue."
"Room for improvement is more on the IQ Bot side: How quickly we can adopt and deploy it?"
"Extracting customer addresses from Google that are not in a standard URL format is a challenge for Automation Anywhere."
"It would be useful to have some updates for the control room in terms of analytics."
"The scalability of Automation Anywhere's cloud version is excellent, but the on-premise version is a waste of time and money."
"Automation Anywhere is one of the least stable RPA tools out of the top five RPA solutions."
"On the cognitive side, some of their competitors, when we were originally shopping, were a little more advanced in that space. Making use of probabilistic outcomes and presenting them to a business user is a feature that, at the time of our evaluation, did not feel like a strong, mature solution for Automation Anywhere. Nevertheless, they won our business. That is one feature where I feel they are trying to make investments to address those gaps."
"We want to have greater control on deciding when we want to upgrade to a newer version"
"It would be very helpful to have a simple and extensive training guide, or training model, to help learn how to work with the product."
"We would like to see the overall accuracy increase from approximately 70% to perhaps 85%."
"AutomationEdge's primary issue is its price point, especially compared to other products."
"It's not an intuitive tool."
"The price of the solution could be improved."
"There is significant room for improvement."
"There are some shortcomings in the product's stability that need improvement."
"The ease of use is the main thing on which they really have to focus. If they want to go against the giants, it should be improved in ease of use, and it should be more user-friendly. It would be helpful because everyone should be empowered irrespective of whether they know how to code or not. They should enhance its user interface and make it more intuitive."
"With the solution, customizing software can be time-consuming."
"While I find AutomationEdge generally stable, I believe that stability needs to be improved a little."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"We are restricted to use one license on one PC. However, if my license is not working, I want to be able to use it somewhere else. This would be a nice improvement to the licensing, as other competitors in the market have better licensing terms."
"This solution costs approximately $3,500 USD per license."
"Despite being less expensive than UiPath, Automation Anywhere remains cost-prohibitive for many small and medium-sized businesses."
"This is a comprehensive automation offering with a scalable architecture and flexible pricing models."
"Its price is competitive with all other products in the market."
"If I compare it with Blue Prism, Automation Anywhere is cheaper. Blue Prism is very costly. Automation Anywhere's pricing follows the market, not less and not more."
"It saves on the quality of work, because the quality can be bad when somebody's doing it. If a bot does the work, it's faster and comes with good quality. These are two important things along with the cost saving in the long run. That's where the value is."
"The cost is at the highest end of the spectrum."
"The pricing is really good, and it's based on usage."
"The product is available at the lowest price."
"Pricing can be made better. Currently, I think the pricing is based on the market. The pricing also depends on the business partners that offer you the solution."
"The licensing for this solution should have a more competitive pricing model. The price is in the top five of similar products."
"I give the price of the solution a nine out of ten."
"Price-wise, AutomationEdge is pretty affordable, making it not so expensive when you compare this with other tools in the market."
"It is expensive but its value can justify the cost."
"If you are looking for a budget solution, you can consider AE. It has all the features. Scaling it is way easier because of the cost itself."
