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.

Multi-agent orchestration has transformed how I build reliable, testable AI assistants
The best things to improve about IBM watsonx Orchestrate are better debugging across multiple agent workflows. When several agents and tools collaborate, troubleshooting can get complicated. I would want an even clearer end-to-end trace showing exactly why agent A delegated to agent B, why a tool was selected, what context was passed, where latency occurred, and where the failure originated. IBM already has strong execution tracing, but this can always be more developer-friendly. I also want stronger automated evaluation and regression testing; every time I modify a prompt, model, tool description, or agent, I want to know whether I broke something else. IBM introduced AgentOps and simulated user evaluations, but I would expand that further with easier CI/CD style regression suites and business-specific KPIs such as task completion, routing accuracy, hallucination rate, and tool call success. I also want more predictable agent routing; in multi-agent systems, two agents may have overlapping capabilities, so the orchestrator sometimes must infer which one is appropriate based on descriptions. IBM itself provides guidance on writing agent descriptions to improve routing accuracy, but I would want stronger routing controls, confidence scores, deterministic fallback rules, and easier visualization of why a particular agent was selected.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"With our conversion from v11 to A360, there has been better ease of development of components within the control room for our development teams."
"It automates forms for our customers and our analysts."
"What Automation Anywhere does exceptionally well is allowing users—especially those without a technical background—to navigate easily, and if you know how to work with Excel or Word, you can simply type commands in plain English like 'save Excel' or 'open Excel' to find the corresponding actions."
"The valuable features of Automation Anywhere really are around the ease of use. Our RPA program focuses on citizen development, and all of the developers have full-time jobs as accountants, and then they work in automation on the side when time allows."
"When this technology first came to market, I thought it was about robotic things, which we cannot do, however, when I started to learn about Automation Anywhere, it's completely different; it's a user friendly tool with drag and drop commands and a person just needs technical, logical thinking."
"We are automatizing redundant activities, releasing employees to do value-added activities."
"Automation Anywhere is the best among all other automation tools available in the market such as Power Automate and UiPath."
"Within one minute we can view more than one thousand students and their results."
"AuraPortal is a beautiful solution for any company because you can do everything you want."
"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 technical support is very good - they work well with partners and follow up on everything."
"AuraPortal has the best price for its process."
"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 is very user-friendly and flexible."
"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."
"IBM watsonx Orchestrate helped my team move from building every AI workflow from scratch to using reusable agents, tools, and integrations; this meant APIs, authentication logic, knowledge sources, and business actions could be packaged once and then reused across multiple use cases instead of being built for each assistant."
 

Cons

"With Oracle and ServiceNow, there seem to be challenges. With SAP, it worked very well."
"I would like to see a comment feature that allows you to embed comments/notes into an action sidebar, without having to actually take up a line of code in order to write such a statement."
"Automation Anywhere has to improve its technical features."
"I would like more integration into the entire Microsoft Suite of products, not just Excel. Companies use all of Microsoft products at the same time, and being good at just one Microsoft tool is a limiting factor. Being able to use Microsoft Excel, Access, and Outlook together and have them integrated (as standard) into the tool would be very useful, especially when you go into attended automation."
"It is frustrating at times to experience this instability, but we do find a solution and we are working on it to be better."
"The solution should have a more robust forum to help users navigate the solution, learn about it, and get help when they need it."
"The IQ Bots have a lot of room for improvement in terms of accuracy level. We need to improvise a lot. I'm facing another big challenge with one of the use cases. We raised a ticket and did multiple follow-ups with support, but the accuracy still isn't up to the mark."
"Automation Anywhere says that you can use this tool for any type of application, but there are some for which it is not compatible."
"AuraQuantic's price could be improved."
"There should be a more affordable consulting pricing."
"More documentation and the ability to extract different reports about different relations in the objects I use will help."
"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."
"The price could be better. It's quite expensive."
"I would like to see support for Unix, Oracle and other RDBMS."
"The best things to improve about IBM watsonx Orchestrate are better debugging across multiple agent workflows."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"They give us a good deal on the licensing because we bundle and customize things. If you ask to get a bulk business deal, you will receive more benefit. If you take other products from the suite, like IQ Bot, you can also receive a deal on the licensing."
"There is an annual license to use the solution."
"The setup and licensing cost is affordable, and it is not exaggerated like UiPath."
"Automation Anywhere is expensive, making it suitable only for enterprise organizations."
"I think the solution's pricing is reasonable."
"My only suggestion in terms of pricing is very generic and that is to consider that as much as RPA saves cost and does automation, please get a realistic estimation done on whether you are really achieving any ROI over your investment with RPA."
"There may be room for the product to be more competitively priced to excel in the market."
"One of the things that will be good for the community will be to get the free version to download, which came out just a month ago called Community Edition. So, you can actually download it and try it for yourself."
"The price could be better. It's quite expensive."
