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.

Senior Rpa Consultant at Accely Consulting
Automation has streamlined client data extraction and has improved reporting for business decisions
I work as a developer, and my manager is responsible for the research and analytics for the project with the client and business users. I am satisfied with BotFarm. I would rate my experience with BotFarm an eight out of ten. I do not see any room for improvement for BotFarm. I am using AI tools such as Amazon, Microsoft Azure, and ChatGPT. I am not using AI-powered bots in BotFarm. I am a partner with Automation Anywhere.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"Recorders and Bot Insights are very valuable features."
"The drag-and-drop feature is valuable."
"Automation Anywhere offers better value and is more effective for organizations seeking cost-effective solutions."
"The recording feature accelerates the timeline of your implementation."
"Document automation has been phenomenal."
"We've noticed time savings of up to 40 minutes, based on wait time and verification delays."
"The infrastructure that Automation Anywhere has created is really simple; compared to other tools such as Power Automate, it is more user-friendly and faster."
"One of the strengths of Automation Anywhere is its user-friendly interface, which makes it accessible even to those without a development background."
"Productivity increased far more than thirty percent."
"The solution is very manageable."
"The system is stable and very little maintenance is required, assuming the bots process is perfectly designed."
"It is easy to use and very stable. It is a rugged product, and it doesn't break so easily."
"The record option and the OCR technology have been great."
"The ability to drag and drop various components and the customizability are good features."
"The most valuable features of this solution are the Excel automation and support for SharePoint."
"There are not many challenges when setting up this solution, and there is a good amount of documentation to go with it."
 

Cons

"We have had some quirkiness happen when integrating the Automation Anywhere with other solutions, such as weird Excel issues or temperamental legacy system issues."
"Automation tools have a lot of dependency on the environment, particularly on machines. Reducing this dependency could increase success."
"The automated regression testing could be better. I need to build my own testing suite, and I know other tools have built-in testing suites. That is an area that's very weak in this platform."
"Automation Anywhere can be improved with respect to the user-friendliness of the interface because most of the competitors are now using a flowchart-like structure, thus making it easy for anyone to learn and study it."
"The Web Recorder should also include a feature where the user can select what browser you want it to run since it is currently using the Internet Explorer browser as default. Some of our web-based systems are currently not compatible with Internet Explorer and can only run using Firefox or Google Chrome."
"Right now, we are using a VM with Automation Anywhere installed inside it, but it would be nice if the solution could be used on macOS."
"There should be more available Data Analytics and more AI Front and Deep Learn concepts."
"Blue Prism is more secure than Automation Anywhere. E.g., Blue Prism has a system that is difficult to penetrate. You can't simply go into their system and make any changes."
"The dashboard needs improvement. For Bot Farm, the visualization is not that good compared to the main Automation Anywhere dashboard."
"The licensing schemes could be more competitive. They need to be much more flexible in their pricing."
"I would like to see more process mining features to give us insight into them before we develop automation."
"One aspect that can be improved is the accessibility of reusable components for developers. It relates to role-based access and accessibility."
"We have connectivity and integration with pretty much every single tech stack across the table that we have in the world, and there are a few areas that they don't do that well yet. I'd be looking for some improvement there, in terms of their integration with certain products."
"There should be more support for developing in environments such as Citrix and Linux."
"The pricing of this product could be better."
"The new version is not very stable. Sometimes I can't use the recording sound."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"If you are looking into Automation Anywhere, get the Community Edition and play with it."
"As far as costs, it depends on your use. We started with a basic department pack, which is over 10K. The additional costs depend on the scale of the engagement and how it pans out. We customize to our needs on the go."
"In the Indian market, I feel that for mid-size companies, such as ourselves, that having multiple bots costs a lot. If Automation Anywhere wants to expand in the Indian market, they will need to look at their pricing."
"Based on what I've heard, it's costly, but I don't know much about its pricing."
"The major reason that we selected Automation Anywhere was the licensing model."
"This is a value for the money product."
"I have heard that Automation Anywhere is expensive."
"Our company is investing a lot of money in Automation Anywhere. They have saved money wherever humans are working. They invest a lot of money in FTEs and other logistics, so the money saving is very pretty good with Automation Anywhere. While I don't know the exact figure, the tool is saving us millions of dollars as well as saving about 40,000 hours in the last year."
"We pay approximately $15,000 USD per year."
"There is a license for this solution and it is on an annual basis. I am satisfied with the price."
"I am very happy with the pricing."
"Its price is quite high as compared to other solutions, but it has a lot of features and good stability. They should reduce its price."
"The pricing model could be simplified."
"The license of this solution is on an annual basis. The price is fair. However, what we did initially was a POC, but now we are looking at moving from a POC to expanding it out further. I would appreciate some kind of discount."
"I think payment can vary but it's a re-occurring fee that needs to be paid every year."
"Licenses are paid on a yearly basis and the cost is quite high."
