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 most valuable feature is the power of AI Technologies involved in Automation Anywhere's IQBot - such as Natural Language Processing, Computer Vision, Fuzzy Logic, and Machine Learning."
"The ability to automate repetetive tasks and processing that should not require human intervention."
"We are using Automation Anywhere for our leave approval process. We used to have three FTEs on the day shift working on this process. Now, we only have one FTE working on the leave approval process. The bot supports everything else in the process. With this bot, we are saving the cost of two FTEs."
"The Bot Store is an online library where anybody can find variously developed, production-ready bots."
"On the server-side, multiple developers working on a single project can save their individual works and have them stored in a single repository."
"Since it is AI-powered, it automates our work; initially, we had many manual interventions, but now with the AI-powered capabilities, we are saving time and our productivity has increased."
"The initial setup was straightforward. It is a very guided experience: out-of-the-box with Automation Anywhere University training."
"The most valuable feature is the SAP application and the DLLs that Automation Anywhere provides. These DLLs help automate the SAP application."
"The solution has been very user-friendly."
"I use it in my client project to extract data and communicate it for business purposes."
"The entire backend system structure is something that I found really valuable."
"The ability to drag and drop various components and the customizability are good features."
"The most valuable feature of BotFarm is the fact that we can use escalations when we need more computer power to fulfill all embargo that we receive in one day."
"Automation Anywhere has good document extraction features where it can learn patterns."
"The most valuable features are the portals for extracting data from PDF files, appending data to SAP, automating the SAP, downloading reports, and mapping and creating the reports accordingly to your requirements."
"From a solution standpoint, screen capture and tight integration with Outlook are valuable features."
 

Cons

"There are a number of current tools which can be improved because they have many limitations. Like some better controls in emails, and better support for features in Excel and PDF."
"I would like a couple more features where I can talk and the line comes up automatically. I can just put on a mic, like in "Ok Google". With "Ok Google", I can tell it to please open an Excel spreadsheet with the header read. If this is there, then I don't even need to sit on a computer, I can just dictate my commands and it will automatically come up."
"When it comes to reading email, this solution is unstable and improvements need to be made."
"This solution should be more user-friendly so that our clients can take a bot that we have developed for them, and then run it by themselves."
"One day, there will be a message box saying that the application is down or not available on a weekend. The instructions will say read the information and click, "Okay." But a bot doesn't understand the instructions because it is not the IQ system."
"Automation Anywhere is easy to use, even if you lack technical skills. People without deep technical expertise can easily develop scenarios."
"Regarding the UI, once you're in some of the screens there are fixed dialogues. They are a set size, so there's a lot of horizontal scrolls and vertical scrolls."
"It is not able to use OCR effectively and has limited usability."
"I would like to be able to access BotForm using a mobile app."
"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 simplified."
"The machine learning needs to be improved so that they perform better in terms of predictive analysis and sentiment analysis."
"The discovery suite that they just acquired could be included."
"The stability needs to be improved."
"I would like to have access to self-service support."
"Its UI could be made better. It should also be more flexible. Currently, it is more rigid, and a little more flexibility is required. Their technical support should also be better. We are not very happy with their technical support. Its price is also quite high as of now. They should improve its price. Its setup should also be made easier. It is quite complex to set it up. Even though we were able to set it up a little fast because we had done something similar earlier, but it has a very complex setup. It is extremely resource-hungry. If they can make it a little light on resources, that would also be useful."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Our annual licensing costs are about $500,000."
"No one is balking at the cost. They are market rates and will change, but no one is saying, "That is ridiculous or impossible." They are saying, "Show me the ROI and prove that the cost is accurate.""
"Because it reduced the time duration of our processes, our costs went down."
"Our annual licensing costs are around $100,000 a year."
"We purchase on a bot basis. Our costs are approximately $5,000."
"My understanding is that the license cost of Automation Anywhere is more reasonable than UiPath and Blue Prism."
"Price is where I'm least satisfied. Other vendors are more willing to offer discounts."
"The cloud-based version comes at an increased cost, although our clients are happy with the new features and have not complained about the pricing."
"The solution prices are expensive. It would be more beneficial for customers to lower the pricing."
"The licensing is on a monthly basis."
"We are on an annual license for the solution and is priced well."
"We pay approximately $15,000 USD per year."
"I think payment can vary but it's a re-occurring fee that needs to be paid every year."
"The pricing model could be simplified."
"It is too expensive and not worth the price."
"Automation Anywhere is more reasonable than Blue Prism and UiPath in terms of cost."
