Featured Reviews

Nadeem K. - PeerSpot reviewer
Rpa Developer at a consultancy with 11-50 employees
Automation has freed teams from repetitive finance and supply tasks and supports global operations
In the current organization, we had trouble initially because I think the documentation and support could be better than what it is now. This is one difference between Automation Anywhere and other RPA tools such as UiPath. In UiPath, if you have an issue, you go to the UiPath website and search for it, and you get lots of help materials. In Automation Anywhere, you do not get exactly what you are looking for. You get a very large number of results when you search for something, and from this large result set, you have to filter out what you need, or only partial information will be available. User handbooks are available for each product. In that regard, I would say Automation Anywhere is lagging compared to other RPA tools. It is difficult to get hold of their customer support team. I want to clarify that it is not a matter of us building logic on Automation Anywhere and it failing. When it is a product-related issue, they have to give us support because we only know how to develop within Automation Anywhere. We do not know how to fix Automation Anywhere itself. Whenever we have an issue, trying to get in touch with them always takes three to four business days.

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.

Automation has transformed document processing and frees teams to focus on higher‑value analysis
Sometimes, we encounter system errors that could be resolved via support, but connection issues are more frequent in enterprise applications. However, these can usually be solved by raising tickets if you are part of an enterprise, though we are not, which makes it somewhat challenging. It is vital to ensure the connections of UiPath Platform are maintained because it has a larger community. If UiPath Platform website included more features and documentation accessible easily, it would greatly enhance the experience. Instead of continually needing to raise support tickets, having a documentation hub where details can just be entered to retrieve required documents would be extremely beneficial.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"All the data that comes in has to be QC'd, and Automation Anywhere helps us by automating the QC part."
"One very useful feature is the IQ Bot, which is helpful in the operation of the data input process to all of their applications."
"A process that used to take seven to ten days has now been reduced to half an hour."
"Pulling data from web pages using Object Cloning has been an absolute delight."
"By using its AI & ML capabilities, we have solved many problems for our clients."
"I like all of the product features, but I mostly like to work with IQ Bots because they have cognitive automation capabilities."
"There are multiple levels of cloning. In case screen cloning doesn't work, you can do object-based cloning or keystroke-level cloning, depending upon what parameters are available to you and what is the level of information that you capture. You can traverse between object cloning, which is the lowest form of cloning to a stroke-based cloning, which is like taking care of each keystroke-level which is made by the agent."
"Other products are more low-code, whereas Automation Anywhere is no-code making it easier to learn and user-friendly."
"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."
"The automation provided by this solution has saved us a lot of time."
"Pattern recognition ultimately helps us to circumvent the problems in dealing with format variability in documents and allows us to capture the right data."
"UiPath Platform has positively impacted my organization with improved processes, cost savings, and the speed of the work."
"The features of UiPath Platform that I most prefer are its connectivity into different ERPs and different enterprise systems, as well as the ability for very easy, citizen-led development."
"It has saved us 100 hours monthly, and employees are freer to take up challenging tasks and spend more time on productive work."
"Weeks of effort have been reduced to days and hours, which is a big win because the number of full-time employee hours spent on mundane tasks has been greatly reduced, resulting in great savings for our company and greatly increasing the speed at which we deliver our products."
"No one can beat the automation; it's like you can sit back and play Tetris and let the bot do the work, and my company has saved around five million dollars this year."
"The document extraction or document understanding feature of UiPath is valuable. It basically extracts data from the PDF."
"The most valuable features are CR capabilities and logistics automation."
"Having something that is very flexible like Studio X will make it possible to change with our environments very quickly, very easily, very nimbly, and to deploy and redeploy as needed."
 

Cons

"It should be easier to use."
"In the A2019 community edition, while running its taking time to run RPA bots and having few bugs related to IQ Bot server connectivity and other things."
"MetaBots and Control Room may have some room for improvement."
"There have been problems with scalability. It comes down to how we handle the code."
"The pricing is a little bit high compared with other tools."
"In the 10.7 version, the back-end port for the MetaBot password has looping. This has been a type of limitation."
"In the Microsoft Excel features, it needs a command to wait for a calculation to complete."
"IQ Bot is useful but the price is not friendly."
"We would like to see the overall accuracy increase from approximately 70% to perhaps 85%."
"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."
"RPA appears to be working, as a technology, but it is still too immature to say that it is beneficial as many people portray it to be."
"I would suggest that they improve the UiPath Connect Enterprise because the planning stage is the most crucial in the RPA life cycle."
"The support team often cannot understand custom automations we've built, which limits their effectiveness; for instance, when I reported a simple issue about elements not being recognized, they responded with 'It works on my end,' which was not helpful."
"One of the products where I would definitely see a need for improvement would be a Task Capture."
"It was a bit expensive, but it is cheaper than Blue Prism."
"The Orchestrator is in drastic need of improvement."
"I would like to see the setup improved. First we install it, then we log in with Orchestrator, and then we have to log in to the UiPath website. I would like all this to be merged into one setup."
"Unfortunately, I used to be a lover of their Slack channel and people don't seem so responsive there anymore."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"IQ Bots are very costly. It's not a sustainable bot for us as of now. We will look for better, alternate options for that."
"Automation Anywhere pricing and licensing are competitive compared to the other automation vendors."
"Based on what I've heard, it's costly, but I don't know much about its pricing."
"It's an ideal pricing model to customize the components based on everyone's needs."
"In terms of pricing, this is a good product."
"The certifications are free of cost."
"Subscription for Automation Anywhere (AA) is paid yearly."
"The control room access gives the ability to create different roles, which helps when purchasing additional licensing."
"The pricing is really good, and it's based on usage."
"It would be nice if you could just buy the product instead of having the annual rate license renewals. It's expensive, but I guess we'll have to see what the ROI truly is."
"UiPath is affordable compared to Blue Prism or AutomationEdge. A basic license covers the cost of implementation and recurring fees that depend on the complexity of the processes and workflows."
"It is reasonable considering the benefits of automating the processes."
"As an application, it is not very expensive. It's very reasonable."
"I find UiPath a reasonably priced solution."
"They have to reduce the price a little bit for basic users, startups, and small companies."
"UiPath is a little more costly than competing solutions such as Automation Anywhere."
"UiPath is more expensive than other solutions on the market, such as Microsoft Power Automate."
