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.

Automation has transformed invoice and bank processing but still needs faster setup and better integration

Automation Anywhere AI Agent could be improved in a few ways. Since I am currently working with Salesforce and I understand that to compete Automation Anywhere as a middleware product with Mulesoft or Informatica, the implementation phase needs to be quicker. The POC is always successful, but the implementation phase has to be quicker. The business needs to understand this better. Automation Anywhere should get into the business team and focus on explainability at the business level, not just a technical thing, but in the language or discussion where the business team can understand. There is clear business reasoning missing right now. The learning is strong within the process for sure, but there is limited reuse of learning across processes, which I think is very important. Simple model governance for business users is needed so that anyone should be able to use or create bots on Automation Anywhere. Right now, consultants and partners are needed in place. Additionally, Automation Anywhere should have native integrations with core platforms such as Oracle, SAPs, Salesforce, and ServiceNow. It should have out of the box integration rather than going for APIs because the deals which are not getting closed with Automation Anywhere or UIPath are purely because these organizations do not have out-of-the-box connectors available.

Accelerated production models have transformed fraud detection and streamlined compliant AI workflows

There are three additional things I would like to add about DataRobot. First, it is not magic; the saying 'garbage in, garbage out' still applies. If your data is messy, has leaks, or the wrong target, DataRobot will just build a bad model faster. It is important to spend time on data prep. Second, free alternatives exist; if the budget is tight, H2O.ai, AutoGluon by AWS, and PyCaret in Python do similar AutoML. DataRobot wins on MLOps with enterprise support, but open-source options win on cost and control. Finally, if you need deep learning for images and text or want full control over every model detail, coding it yourself in Python, TensorFlow, or PyTorch is still better. DataRobot is best for tabular data with business predictions. When it comes to improving DataRobot, I see a few functionalities that need attention. First, the pricing with access is a concern. Enterprise pricing starts at approximately $100,000 per year, which means startups, students, and small teams can't even test it. An improvement would be a real tier, like a $500 per month startup plan. Alternatives like AutoGluon and H2O.ai win here because anyone can try them. Currently, DataRobot operates on a try before you buy basis, which leads to a sales call rather than offering direct sign-up. The second improvement would focus on control versus AutoML trade-offs; while AutoML is fast, sometimes you need to tweak something in preprocessing, but DataRobot hides a lot under the hood. The suggested improvement would allow more granular control without leaving the UI, letting power users directly edit the blueprint code. I would like the ability to change one line instead of rebuilding the whole thing.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"There have been a lot of challenges in terms of interfacing with the customer ERPs. So, we have been building tools and interfaces using bots to write back into these custom ERPs. Specifically, in the area where I work, this has been very helpful."

"Our primary use has been to automate a few mundane tasks in the organization, which really helped us in this COVID situation, easing everyone's tasks, ensuring they were completed on time and without errors, keeping our customers happy, and enabling our vendors to help us meet customer satisfaction without compromising on anything."

"Automation Anywhere has had a huge impact in my organization, especially in saving time and compliance-related process automation by reducing errors drastically and ensuring quick processing of requests with proper logs available for the audit team."

"Business analytics provides real-time data that's something other competing companies lack. It uses statistics and graphs to show the performance of the bots which processes are lagging behind and if you need to give priority to certain tasks."

"Automation Anywhere helps improve our organization by allowing us to automate processes that should not be manual."

"The efficiency we get with Automation Anywhere is valuable."

"We have been able to take an accounting task and clear a very large backlog, therefore being completely up-to-date on the task since implementing a bot on it."

"The interface is a lot better than a lot of other tools which are out there."

More Automation Anywhere pros

"Since all three benefits are achieved—accuracy, efficiency, and cost saving—the business impact and dollar impact is really high."

"By automating repetitive processes such as data entry, report generation, and transaction processing, I reduced manual effort significantly as tasks that earlier took hours now take minutes, resulting in clear time savings."

"I feel Automation Anywhere AI Agent is better than Blue Prism in that specific context."

"Previously we had five or six processes which used to be done manually by different people and that has been transformed using DataRobot because agents now are doing the same thing, resulting in a lot of money saved and around $2 million in cost savings for the bank."

"DataRobot can be easy to use."

"By automating highly technical aspects like model comparison, DataRobot enhances productivity and reduces project timelines from three months to less than one month."

"By using DataRobot, we save the work equivalent of almost four to five people who are experts in Python and AI, as we can do the same tasks more easily with this tool."

"It's easy to do MLOps operations. It's a lot easier to manage jobs and see the logs if there's any drift in a model."

"Tasks such as model testing, feature engineering, and predictions that used to take us days or weeks can now be accomplished in hours."

"DataRobot helped speed up getting the model into production to three weeks versus four to six months, and the accuracy improved by catching 40% more fraud compared to the old rules with 60% fewer false alarms, which meant fewer angry customers getting their cards blocked."

"DataRobot is highly automated, allowing data scientists to build models easily."

More DataRobot pros

Cons

"If we are going through the high availability in the IQ Bot setup, it's a bit complex."

"Currently, Automation Anywhere's debugging functionality is minimal."

"We are not getting consistent behavior from the tool We would like to see this improved and the product more stable."

"Their license model needs to be improved. The biggest issue for me is that the license is tied to a person, and it is not something that I can pass if I want to use it for the first five hours and pass it on to you for the next five hours and so on. When we automate, the license is tied to me, and if you or somebody else needs to use that license, as a COE administrator, I need to transfer the license from person A to person B. This is something that I have always told them that should not be this way because you want to utilize your licenses effectively."

"Automation Anywhere has a persistent click-related issue that can make automation difficult, particularly in unattended environments."

"Automation Anywhere can be improved by addressing the server issues we occasionally encounter when running the bot on the runner."

"The initial setup for the program was not straightforward. It was definitely complex."

"They should do more on the cognitive side."

More Automation Anywhere cons

"When considering weaknesses and improvements, the platform does not give us the liberty to use our own features where we can bring out creativity."

"The OCR and document understanding of Automation Anywhere AI Agent still struggle with complex and unstructured formats such as invoices with multiple layouts, poor scan quality, or handwritten fields."

"The implementation cost even for a POC was very high, and that was a pain for all the customers."

"There are some performance issues."

"The business departments will love to work with DataRobot because they use the tool to investigate their data, such as targeting what they want to investigate. They don't need any data scientists near them. They can investigate at eye level and bring into the BI tool, or can bring it to the data scientist. Data scientists can use this tool to bring increase the solution to the maximum. All the others can use it, but not to the maximum."

"DataRobot is a UI-based tool, which means it cannot provide all the features I might manually implement through notebooks or Python. In this aspect, I see room for improvement in its functionality."

"DataRobot could improve by attaching more advanced AI features, which would empower its daily use to be more responsible, efficient, and provide real-time examples."

"All the others can use it, but not to the maximum."

"We dropped the plan to use DataRobot because we found the pricing to be on the higher side."

"If we could include our existing Python or R code in DataRobot, we could make it even better. The DataRobot that we have is specific to an industry, but most of the time we would have our own algorithms, which are specific to our own use case. If we had a way by which we could integrate our proprietary things into DataRobot with a simple integration, it would help us a lot."

"DataRobot can actually be improved by having access to multiple data repositories. It is lacking in the ways in which it ingests data, in which it transforms the data because we need a separate data manipulation tool for which we need to have somebody else."

More DataRobot cons

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The major reason that we selected Automation Anywhere was the licensing model."

"In terms of pricing, this is a good product."

"The setup cost depends on multiple factors, so you need to get details before choosing."

"The price for Automation Anywhere is reasonable."

"There is a free trial so that they can get an overview, and there are different licenses that are very affordable and can suit every business model."

"Overall, the pricing of Automation Anywhere is good."

"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."

"When I started working on it, it was difficult to obtain a trial version (barrier to entry). Now, they have a Community Edition, which may make it easy to get started."

More Automation Anywhere pricing and cost advice

Information not available

"We dropped the plan to use DataRobot, because we found the pricing to be on the higher sise. We liked DataRobot a lot, but due to the pricing, we dropped that idea."

"The price of DataRobot is good because if you take the price of the solution which is approximately $65,000, it is less than a data scientist. There are very few data scientists available."
