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

"The solution's primary benefit is improved efficiency. Automation Anywhere enabled us to enhance many processes that were previously done manually. It helps save time while improving compliance by keeping the data clean. We've also increased visibility for our end-users because we use the data from Automation Anywhere to build dashboards."
"There are ready plugins and connectors to integrate with APIs for common systems like Oracle or Microsoft."
"We realized a return on investment with Automation Anywhere, especially during the COVID surge in volume within the payment process."
"Automation Anywhere has impacted our efficiency and productivity in a very positive way since we are shutting down a very manual process."
"Our organization used to have a process which took five business days to do: our monthly pricing update. This was a very manual process. Our very first bot built was to automate this process. Now, the bot runs in the background every month and the process takes less than a day to run."
"We needed scalability and the ability to perform 10,000 or 1,000 or 200 tasks at any moment. No other software that we have had could provide such scalability and is built in a modular way."
"What I appreciate the most about Automation Anywhere is that the end-user experience is superior to any of the other tools on the market that we've looked at."
"Some of the key features of Automation Anywhere include the simplicity that enables developers to build bots very quickly in a standard delivery fashion."
"From a solution standpoint, screen capture and tight integration with Outlook are valuable features."
"Automation Anywhere provides a very flexible UI."
"It is easy to use and very stable. It is a rugged product, and it doesn't break so easily."
"The main features of the solution are the IQ Bot and web-based automation."
"BotFarm is an easy solution to use and the interface is better than older versions."
"BotFarm has been working perfectly fine with our business model. Its scalability is the most valuable feature. We can easily scale out bots on a need basis. Portability is another valuable feature. We work with different payment systems like Visa and MasterCard and have bots for them. Because of BotFarm, we are able to reuse these bots."
"The most valuable features of this solution are the Excel automation and support for SharePoint."
"What I like most about BotFarm is that it's one of the leading RPA products in the market. Very few products focus on robotics today, so I like that BotFarm offers a lot in terms of what general customers expect it to do."
 

Cons

"They have incorporated many latest technologies, such as AI, and there is always scope to improve the processes and have more stability."
"They need to improve the real-time data and analytics."
"We need a native way in Automation Anywhere's framework to tie all that information together, including AI dashboard, governance dashboards, and document automation results."
"When I post questions, I seldom get answers fast, and when I do, there are inconsistencies with the existing documentation."
"The error handling command on this solution still needs improvement, especially when compared to other platforms that are doing very well."
"Unwanted windows are popping up. We have to train a bot to recognize the window if it comes up, know what it is, and click it. If it is interrupting our bot, I just want to avoid that window, because I am getting failed logs."
"If you work with image recognition and custom objects, there are stability issues."
"If you want to use Chrome then there are three or four additional steps that need to be completed."
"I would like to see more process mining features to give us insight into them before we develop automation."
"The machine learning needs to be improved so that they perform better in terms of predictive analysis and sentiment analysis."
"The solution can improve the accuracy of hand-written data reading"
"When somebody is just learning this product it can be difficult for them to understand, so improvements to the user interface would be helpful."
"The stability needs to be improved."
"The user experience could be made a little better with this solution. I find it difficult to find qualified people to be able to use the solution."
"The deployment could be made a little bit easier."
"I would definitely be wanting to see OCR features for improving the solution."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"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."
"Time and monetary savings can range from 20 to 90 percent."
"AA comes at a more affordable price than the other tools."
"It is not cheap, but we are able to get an ROI."
"Approximately, for a developer, it is around $750 for a license a year. For Bot Runners, it is about $550."
"We just did a round of price comparison on a global scale and found it's so hard to compare the license prices. But, Automation Anywhere, in general, is on the same price level as the other vendors, a bit lower in some cases."
"The ROI is really good. We have saved time and money."
"Automation Anywhere offers a subscription-based licensing model for cloud, on-premises, and hybrid deployments."
"The pricing model could be simplified."
"Automation Anywhere is more reasonable than Blue Prism and UiPath in terms of cost."
"The product is slightly expensive"
"Our licensing costs are approximately $3,000 USD annually."
"Pricing for this solution can be better."
"We are on an annual license for the solution and is priced well."
"We pay approximately $15,000 USD per year."
"An unattended bot license costs around $5,000, whereas an attended bot license costs roughly $1,500."
