Venkat Sivaprakash - PeerSpot reviewer
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.

Responsive support, easy to use, and reliable
It helped a lot when we started using it with more images. Before, it was basic. With images, it's more effective. Users consider it more animated and user-friendly. We can easily track a process and know exactly where a process is. It's a low-code application. The solution is very easy to use. It is stable and reliable. The solution scales well. Technical support is extremely responsive.

President and COO at a computer software company with 51-200 employees
Good data ingestion and classification capabilities, supports various media types and formats, and the interface is easy to use
Currently, we're still using version 2-7-2, and now they're about to do the beta release on their version 2021. In this coming version, we expect that some of our issues will be fixed. We've had challenges in classification tasks where similar documents were flagged as multiple matches. The system would identify them and say, "Hey, I think I've got multiple matches. It could either be this one or that one." Because of that, it required us to instruct the system to either leave it unclassified, or we had to halt the process for somebody to look at it. With the new version for 2021, they have changed the paradigm. As it is now, we're using something called a form type, where pages within the document are referenced using a specific page number. For example, in a ten-page document, you might refer to information specifically on the first or fifth page. In the new paradigm, there is a first, middle, and last page concept, as opposed to having the different form types with all of the different pages. What they're telling me is that it's going to make the classification more accurate. Just because the first page of two different documents looks the same, they will not be considered duplicates. Having multiple points of reference will now allow it to better distinguish them. The other area we have had challenges with is table extractions, where if the data headers were not defined, or the tables did not have descriptions for the columns. My understanding is that in the 2021 version, they've now shown that they're handling that. Again, we don't have it and haven't been able to test it, but it's coming. Technical support is definitely an area that they need improvement in, in terms of the front-line individuals.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"My impression of the Bot Store is good. It is a really smart offering. A lot of the time customers need the same things, and there's not necessarily a lot of logic in reinventing the wheel. When you take the Bot Store, you allow people to share knowledge, you allow best practices to be immediately adopted by users, and you can share good knowledge, saving a lot of time for customers. It's a really good thing."
"Automation Anywhere has helped in automating business processes for simple to complex business cases and also helped in understanding, learning, and discovering new automation ideas."
"This is the right platform and choice, as every business needs to be at this pace and cannot ignore automation if you really want your company to get to the next level and be at par with competitors."
"It has taken a lot of manual Excel manipulation that we have previously did, and removed that work away from people who did that for ten hours a day, five days a week, allowing us to refocus our resources into more value-add activities and simplifying our landscape."
"MetaBot is the most valuable feature. Other products have robotic functionality but MetaBot is a kind of functionality by which code is created... so business users who do not have coding knowledge can drag and drop."
"Automation has helped us improve productivity in that it first of all saves time, and because of the automation we are able to eliminate human errors, so it is really good for improving our productivity and has helped us a lot."
"Currently, everyone wants to experiment more and more with cloud offerings. They don't want to spend money on setting up their internal hardware infrastructure. Automation Anywhere is the only tool that provides a pure cloud to customers. That is one of the key features."
"From the customer's perspective, the biggest benefits are automation of the security and monitoring systems."
"AuraPortal is a beautiful solution for any company because you can do everything you want."
"AuraPortal provides several solutions embedded into one single platform that provides unbroken services to resolve almost any type of process for almost any industry segment."
"It's a low-code application."
"AuraPortal is very user-friendly and flexible; it's really interesting for me, and I'm focusing on this application and BPM because it's really complete."
"AuraQuantic's most valuable features are the zero code, user-friendly mode, and integration."
"I chose AuraPortal due to its capabilities for implementing BPM solutions with limited programming skills, as interfaces can be developed very fast and the cycle time for developing applications or integration between different systems can be improved by 70-80%."
"AuraPortal has the best price for its process."
"AuraPortal is very user-friendly and flexible."
"Lexicons where the key vocabulary can be inputted it is very helpful."
"There are many options and customizations that you can make to each individual extractor that allows you to tweak it for exactly what you need."
"The user interface is easy to use, and the flexibility is noteworthy."
"With Grooper, the old archive of information can be obtained with the models we built."
"Using Grooper has sped up our data entry process between two and eight times, depending on the exact process."
"So now we're doing stuff that takes literally minutes, or even sometimes seconds, and we've reduced the labor by a hundredfold."
"Grooper processes difficult sorts of data and unstructured or semi-structured content very well. It's probably one of the better solutions I've seen compared to other solutions I've seen out there. It does a lot more things like segmentation extraction. It does it a lot better. Grooper has more focus on these types of freeform documents where other solutions are very generic and this is a little more elaborate in what they've done. I think they take it to the next level of extracting freeform data."
"In certain types of jobs, I would estimate that using Grooper saves us 70% of the time it normally takes to complete it."
 

Cons

"It takes a lot of time to deploy, and sometimes it fails after a timeout."
"One area where I think there's an opportunity to do things a lot better is in the analytics function. They do have a concept or product called Bot Insights. It hasn't worked for us. It isn't as plug and play as we were led to believe, which is unfortunate. I can absolutely understand the value, and the demonstrations that I've seen of Bot Insights are sensational. But, we just haven't been able to make it work. We've invested a lot of time and effort trying to make it work to no avail."
"Migration is probably our biggest challenge. When we were trying to do the migration to the new version, it was a little bit painful. We didn't have that many bots, and I can't imagine the level of effort that some of the bigger customers have to put in for that. The product is stable, but moving from one release to the other was the issue."
"There is definitely some room for improvement there. It is sort of a hit and miss with their support engineers, you have some really good ones and some that aren't."
"One aspect I wish to mention regarding needed improvements is that Automation Anywhere currently works only on Windows systems."
"The initial cost of Automation Anywhere, including license fees and integration costs, is high. It is challenging for business users to operationalize the tool independently."
"The original setup was easy. What was difficult was adding licenses. I went a month where I was paying for licenses that I couldn't use, for various reasons. That was painful."
"IQ Bot does have some limitations."
"There should be a more affordable consulting pricing."
"AuraQuantic's price could be improved."
"The price could be better. It's quite expensive."
"We'd like it more animated. It would be useful if we could integrate GIFs, for example."
"One thing that could be improved would be for it to be deployed in a shorter time."
"I would like to see support for Unix, Oracle and other RDBMS."
"More documentation and the ability to extract different reports about different relations in the objects I use will help."
"If Grooper could "sense" important fields on the document and auto-build extractors for them, that'd be really cool."
"There are few bugs that my superior has posted in the Grooper exchange that concerned errors with the OCR."
"Technical support is definitely an area that they need improvement in, in terms of the front-line individuals."
"They should have more sub-extractors or exclusion extractors so that the user does not have to make a parent data type."
"Grooper is new. It's new beta stuff, so we've had some issues, but that's understandable."
"Grooper is new. It's new beta stuff, so we've had some issues, but that's understandable. Getting the beta product to more of a true release is where it needs improvement. I'm going through training now, so it's hard to judge what they have and don't have until I get through that training. Training is the main thing for me because I'm trying to learn and take things I've learned from other products and try to transfer that knowledge to this one."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Automation Anywhere offers a subscription-based licensing model for cloud, on-premises, and hybrid deployments."
"There are a lot of savings in terms of effort and time as well as costs. Automation Anywhere automates a lot of processes. It allows an organization to save the efforts of a lot people. It saves a lot of time because people can't work a whole day (24/7), but Automation Anywhere bots can."
"The licensing cost for Automation Anywhere is high."
"The solution's pricing is pretty decent."
"With the rebate processing automation that we did, it has provided us a savings of around an hour or two a person on a daily basis, which is quite a lot of savings."
"Our annual licensing costs are about $500,000."
"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."
"We were required to purchase licenses and bot runners, which determined the permissible run times for the bots."
"The price could be better. It's quite expensive."
"Know how many pages you will be needing to process, as the pricing is based on that."
"Overall, their pricing is higher than the competitors, but they offer functionality that is otherwise not available."
