Venkat Sivaprakash

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.

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.

Hemanth Pagadala

Senior Business Process Automation Engineer at a manufacturing company with 10,001+ employees

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

"Automation Anywhere aids in handling repetitive tasks, contributing to productivity and enhancing customer service, especially when combined with methodologies like Six Sigma."

"The integration is helpful. We have quite a few use cases where we've integrated with Microsoft tools and local record systems, such as SAP and Vertex AI."

"Automation Anywhere has a great learning curve, and we have automated processes through bots that ease our work by handling repetitive tasks and minimizing effort and work inefficiencies."

"Most of the features are valuable."

"Our ROI has ranged from thousands to hundreds of thousands, depending on the type of process being automated."

"Automation Anywhere has had a huge impact in my organization, especially in saving time and compliance-related process automation by reducing errors drastically and ensuring quick processing of requests with proper logs available for the audit team."

"It is easy to fix bug issues which you encounter in the post-production process."

"The Excel operations are very good."

More Automation Anywhere pros

"The automation provided by this solution has saved us a lot of time."

"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."

"UiPath Platform has positively impacted my organization greatly, as we achieve a significant ROI and our entire team is covered through automation to the extent that we pay for ourselves, with reduced human error and freed-up employee time leading to FTE savings that fund the team itself."

"They are providing an architecture that is really amazing."

"They have also recently added a feature for attended automation, Picture in Picture, which is also nice to have. It's helpful because you don't want to just sit back and let the bot run and not work during that attended automation. Using the PiP feature, you can have it running on your desktop without having to interrupt it to your work."

"It allows for rapid development in which we can see value back quickly."

"When we would have a huge backlog, we would hire short-term employees for some of our cases. Now, we don't have to do that anymore."

"The tool's most valuable feature is its embedded activities."

"I like the interface. It's simple to interact with. We can replicate and multiply the robots when we need to change something."

"The features of UiPath Platform that I most appreciate include the great user interface, and I've really enjoyed using it as well as the ability to write your own code in there."

More UiPath Platform pros

Cons

"For smaller teams and during the onboarding, it takes a little while to figure out how to make things work."

"I would like more with OCR and data capture. We are partnering with IBM to help bridge this gap, but Automation Anywhere should continue to expand on their product line and provide these capabilities, as well."

"There is an issue with the object cloning in Excel. OCR is also not that stable. Image recognition works fine, but not all the time."

"They often provide good solutions, but sometimes they are unable to resolve issues, requiring users to find solutions independently, which can be time-consuming."

"There is limited scope for complex decision-making. For instance, a bot can extract invoice details, but it cannot determine if an invoice is fraudulent without AI integration."

"Automation Anywhere is a technical application. It is not so easy for a regular user. It requires technical knowledge."

"We have a lot of use cases that depend on certain Java applets, and currently we're not able to leverage the Object Cloning that would speed up our automation designing. So we have to revert to more image recognition-type of designing, and it just takes a long time to get that bot built."

"Although the UI and elements are user-friendly, it is still difficult for business users without experience to understand how to use Automation Anywhere."

More Automation Anywhere cons

"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%."

"Enterprise support for UiPath is still spotty and is not fully capable of solving queries in a single session."

"There is a need for more videos and examples on upcoming enhancements and changes."

"There is some scope for improvement, especially in the area of variables."

"With UiPath, it's a little bit of a nightmare; it becomes harder to debug the bigger your automation is, because it's quite unpredictable and it's quite unstable."

"Many of the features that UiPath has are good, although better documentation is required for them."

"Some features are limited for Orchestrator. For example, the AI features could be more flexible and easily accessible. Every time I want to use some new features, we have to do a deep dive into this technology."

"It's a complex environment with all its moving pieces."

"As a business-based person who handles engineering and IT from the business side, I can say that improvements would be beneficial in the automation of the entire software development life cycle through more agents, similar to the testing automation currently being done."

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Our pricing a year ago was $600 per license."

"Our annual licensing costs for the entire company are $100,000."

"It is affordable for us."

"On average, a bot runner in Automation Anywhere can cost $5,000, while in Microsoft Power Automate, you can get most of the same functionality for $100."

"We save approximately 10,000 hours per year."

"I don't agree with the IQ Bot licensing costs, which depends on the consumption of the document rather than per bot or user. This is confusing for me, because most of the cases for us in a possible future scenario, there would be a lot of invalid data to be scanned to get to real data. E.g., we would have to supply approximately 100 pages of scanned data to extract two pages of original data. In these type of cases, the IQ Bot might be a costly venture."

"It's fine. However, I'm concerned with the credits in terms of the pricing for the AI models. It is understandable that the new ones are more expensive, but the base models, after doing the pricing conversion, cost about four to ten times as much as paying directly."

"We would like them to change the license model of charging per bot."

More Automation Anywhere pricing and cost advice

"The pricing is really good, and it's based on usage."

"The licensing cost is high."

"UiPath is more affordable than Automation Anywhere and Blue Prism, which is the most expensive."

"If it can be lower, we will always take lower."

"This solution has a very competitive and flexible pricing scheme that depends on the process complexity."

"The cost that we are allocating for RPA doesn't burden us too heavily, so what we are paying is acceptable compared to the gains that we have in the organization."

"Right now we only have a couple of Studio licenses and a couple of bots, so we're at about $8,000 USD per year."

"The cost of UiPath is much less than that of Blue Prism. They've been very flexible and willing to work with us with our new contractors we just signed on. It's worked out well."

"Different licenses are used to activate features that the organization wants to use. For example, they offer licenses for UiPath Studio X, attended automation, unattended automation, document understanding, and so forth."
