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.

Centralized task tracking has transformed team collaboration and has saved significant time
The features or capabilities of AppSheet that I have found the most valuable include Freeze Panes, which is one of the most valuable features, and Dropdown, which is another valuable feature. Freeze Panes is extremely important because it freezes the first top row of the sheet. When I'm scrolling the sheet and going down, I can see the first row on the screen full time while scrolling to my data. This is a very beautiful feature of Google Sheets. Additionally, the dropdown feature allows me to write yes, no, and not applicable against a particular line item without typing every time by creating a dropdown. I write it once with yes, no, not applicable, and then I select that option. The real-time updates in AppSheet improve collaboration in my team because 40 people in the same department operate on a single Google Sheet. They all update their tasks, their projects, and everything on that same sheet, which is a massive leap in technology. Otherwise, I would be mailing a single Excel sheet to 40 people and getting everybody's input from them all manually, which would be extremely time-consuming. It's a massive technology jump when it comes to collaboration.

The solution is stable and has good support, but is expensive
Betty Blocks, when I started with it, was similar to a back-end platform with the ability to have a standardized back-office UI out of the box, which is perfect for a lot of situations. For more customer-facing UIs, we had to create the front end ourselves, building endpoints with HTML and JavaScript. Then Betty Blocks started in 2018 with the page builder. This allowed us to create drag-and-drop interfaces. That was quite cumbersome. Now Betty Blocks is entering a new generation of it - next generation forms - which should be a lot better. The most valuable feature is the back end. The way we can create action flows for things such as sending emails, creating PDF reports, or connecting to web services is very complete. I never experience a lack of functionality in it. The standardized back-office UI is said to be deprecated over time, which is a shame, because it is a real time-saver and is one of their strong points, only if it was kept up-to-date.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The development of the company from Automation Anywhere V11 to a2019 was valuable. I found many important and new features, like changing the way we write code and programming. It became much easier and very flexible in version 2019A. It became very easy to use and the recording was also good. Excel became very good too."
"The integration of RPA bots with other processes and documents is good. We don't have any issues there. We could have more connectors, but it's fine. I have used it for SAP and for direct API-to-API, and that went well."
"Sometimes the customer will not provide any data. Using Automation Anywhere, we can easily automate to capture the customer data. Then, we can use that customer data inside the Cisco Unified Wire Voice Portal."
"Overall, Automation Anywhere is a very user-friendly and easy-to-use tool, and if clients are looking to implement automation into their business, I would definitely recommend Automation Anywhere over other tools because it is well-suited for their purposes and can be easily utilized."
"Automation Anywhere has made it very easy for you to install, they've got the tools to make it very simple for you to create a quick, small application and to get out there."
"Automation Anywhere is a tool that I love! I am quite happy using this tool and there are no features or commands that I have found to be missing that should be added."
"What I appreciate most about Automation Anywhere is its user interface, which is very friendly and simple when compared to UiPath and Power Automate, featuring drag-and-drop capabilities, control rooms for both cloud and on-premises, and the ability for business users to run bots with just half an hour of training."
"Overall, the product is very good where the repetitive tasks are more in manufacturing industries and the finance department."
"A feature I found most valuable in AppSheet is its intuitive UI/UX design, as that makes the platform very easy for customers to use. The solution also has a drag and drop feature that's quite good. I also found AppSheet integration with the cloud platform to be quite good."
"With Google, even if you find a bug or something, it is solved quickly."
"We have built a workflow using this solution to do our day-to-day operations and then monitor our agents in the field, and we are able to track their work when they do projects and when they finish their tasks, getting a report on all of this information which has definitely made life easier."
"AppSheet is easy to set up and easy to use."
"I have found the way they structure the workflow and the fact that it a progressive application is valuable for me. This allows me to be able to build it once and use it in multiple formats."
"The solution allows for many great features, including easy column formatting that automatically applies the correct formats for phone numbers and dates, helpful data linking, robust email integration, very good security, and it is a very good no-code development platform."
"The solution has been very user friendly, easy to use, and we are able to use many applications like Excel or Google sheets."
"I chose this solution because it was cheaper than other competitors, more flexible and safe."
"All these components are separately tuneable, which makes it a very strong platform, and we believe that this should be considered in the enterprise market."
"The most valuable feature is the back end."
 

Cons

"Automation Anywhere could benefit from more in-person support, as they currently maintain only a virtual presence."
"I would like better support. The technical support is mediocre. The support is sometimes really good, and sometimes it is really bad."
"We need a better way of getting upgrades or defect fixes. It is creating problems for us, as we have to go for a completely new version. Maintaining and managing existing bots, then coming up with new ones takes a lot of time. We would rather have a batch fix than an installation to an installation."
"Apart from the Chrome issue, which took them maybe a week to fix, we lost a lot of processes during that time, but it just happens unfortunately."
"The Automation Anywhere calibrating needs to be more user-friendly to avoid human error."
"I would like OCR for video and text using the IQ Bot. It should also be available in an email tag format."
"Their Community Edition is awful. Every second day, it will fail. It will become corrupt."
"Cost is the biggest area in need of improvement for Automation Anywhere. Annually it's $250,000."
"In terms of areas for improvement in AppSheet, I do many things with it, and I'm happy with its data features. The solution has good data features, and though some basic functions may not be there, AppSheet is good enough for me at the moment. I can use it in my business. I like it, and I'm still happy with it because I'm not using it intensively. I just use AppSheet for simple tasks rather than complex ones, though the solution has many use cases. In its next release, what could make the solution better would be more partners for integration, for example, integration with SAP, particularly plugins or APIs with more partners that it could integrate with. There should be an out-of-the-box feature built for integration with more partners."
"The solution needs to improve its SQL database capabilities."
"AppSheet should continue to make the tool's features easy to use, such as the ability to add additional notes or notifications."
"Stability is the leading risk. We can't ensure that the solution will last since, if Google decides something, it's finished."
"No improvements are required as AppSheet is quite efficient."
"There needs to be an improvement in their operation vision. They need to see things more globally because at the moment they are very North-America focused. We do not always have mobile applications and the way we use them is slightly different in Africa from the way they use them in America."
"There are now a lot of low-code or no-code applications available on the web. AppSheet is working on that path."
"They could improve by providing more language support other than English especially the languages that written from right to left such as Arabic , integrate better with other databases, and provide a better UX."
"In many cases, they make choices where flexibility is a little bit degraded, but if you leave everything open and the flexibility is great then the usability is a little bit less."
"I would like to see full integration with AI."
"What I find lacking in the software is its ability to query the database."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Its cost is good."
"I would rate the cost of Automation Anywhere as a six out of ten, with ten being the most expensive."
"My understanding is that the license cost of Automation Anywhere is more reasonable than UiPath and Blue Prism."
"It costs up to $1,200 per license."
"We have seen ROI in terms of cost and time with a couple of our projects."
"Currently, it stands as one of the more expensive RPA tools available."
"The ROI is really good. We have saved time and money."
"They sell it by license, but if they could charge by case or by interaction, that might be better. Right now, it's expensive when you want to scale or use them for simple processes."
"I chose this solution because it was cheaper than other competitors."
"There is a license required to use this solution and it costs approximately $10 per user a month. I am paying $300 a month for 30 licenses."
"In terms of how much AppSheet costs, I'm currently on the free tier, but if I need to add more users to it in the future, I will go with the paid version."
"The tool is available at a low price."
"The pricing structure that we have been working with was based on a number of blocks."
"The pricing is quite high, but the pricing is also not very transparent."
