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

"Workbench, which is a development tool, is very friendly. It is complete. Compared to Power Automate, Automation Anywhere is much more comprehensive and easy to understand."
"The automation of data entry is the most valuable feature for us."
"The Object Cloning command is the most useful feature. Through the use of this command, between 30% and 40% of the process automation is complete."
"The features of the Automation Anywhere bot bring us the ability to develop automations to production quickly."
"Automation Anywhere was easier to learn for the developers. It has a lot of out of box features when it comes to SAP, Excel, and others."
"The feature I appreciate the most about Automation Anywhere is the interface."
"Sometimes the customer will not provide any data. Using Automation Anywhere, we can easily automate to capture the customer data. Then, we can use that customer data inside the Cisco Unified Wire Voice Portal."
"I like the OCR feature, where we can capture information from PDFs."
"It is easy to use and very stable. It is a rugged product, and it doesn't break so easily."
"The solution is easy to use and easy to apply."
"The entire backend system structure is something that I found really valuable."
"The initial setup is straightforward."
"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."
"From a solution standpoint, screen capture and tight integration with Outlook are valuable features."
"The record option and the OCR technology have been great."
"The ability to drag and drop various components and the customizability are good features."
 

Cons

"Automation Anywhere risks falling behind by focusing solely on Robotic Process Automation when competitors offer more versatile and adaptable solutions that integrate AI for a more intelligent automation experience."
"There is limited scope for complex decision-making. For instance, a bot can extract invoice details, but it cannot determine if an invoice is fraudulent without AI integration."
"The time taken to execute a Bot through A2019 can be reduced."
"The Automation Anywhere Control room component features can be improved, as of now it contains too many roles and rules which makes it confusing to use it."
"It would be nice to have the IQ Bots integrated with the Enterprise Edition without requiring extra licenses. That would be great."
"I would like a better code migration solution, because this is something that we do a lot."
"We have a challenge in our front office automation where capturing details from a table within a table does not happen in the existing AA Enterprise client version 11.3.4. The AA team tries various methods like using an Excel spreadsheet to capture the tables."
"Automation Anywhere can also be improved in machine learning and artificial intelligence. It would make our lives easier."
"The stability needs to be improved."
"The discovery suite that they just acquired could be included."
"The deployment could be made a little bit easier."
"There should be more support for developing in environments such as Citrix and Linux."
"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."
"The tool must execute remedial actions to resolve problems before they cause significant incidents."
"One aspect that can be improved is the accessibility of reusable components for developers. It relates to role-based access and accessibility."
"BotFarm newer version has been difficult to install, we have been in contact with the support on this matter."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Our annual licensing costs are around $100,000 a year."
"On a yearly basis, our licensing costs are about $80,000. There are no additional costs beyond the standard licensing fees."
"It is one of the most affordable RPA solutions, and as for licensing, they offer a community edition that greatly helps anyone who aspires to learn about the product before buying the enterprise solution."
"Time-wise: We have saved hundreds of thousands of hours."
"I feel the cost of licensing is very high for the A2019 version."
"Automation Anywhere is competitive... Pega is somewhat comparable, but Pega also requires a lot more infrastructure and a lot more experience to get up and running."
"My understanding is that the license cost of Automation Anywhere is more reasonable than UiPath and Blue Prism."
"I advise others that even as of right now, the setup cost and licensing cost to automate bots on Automation Anywhere is steep but it is worth the investment!"
"Automation Anywhere is more reasonable than Blue Prism and UiPath in terms of cost."
"The pricing is fair."
"Our licensing costs are approximately $3,000 USD annually."
"The starter price is free."
"I am very happy with the pricing."
"There is a license for this solution and it is on an annual basis. I am satisfied with the price."
"It is too expensive and not worth the price."
"An unattended bot license costs around $5,000, whereas an attended bot license costs roughly $1,500."
