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.

Pipeline framework has transformed how I evaluate RAG models and optimize vector search
The best feature Deepset AI Platform offers is the pipeline feature that is very easy for me to compose the large language model as well as the vector database search and retrieval, allowing me to build the application and the evaluation script within a very short period of time. The pipeline feature and the ease of composing with large language models and vector search save me a lot of time by not writing the code from scratch. I just build the pipeline because Deepset AI Platform provides the out-of-the-box integration with the tools and stack that I am using, including the OpenAI model as well as the Pinecone API. I do not need to implement the details; I just use the existing tools in Haystack, pulling it together for the pipeline. This allows me to avoid too much detailed coding and saves me a lot of work, enabling me to focus on the evaluation. Deepset AI Platform positively impacts our organization because we previously did not use any framework for Gen AI applications, and the introduction of this stack provides a framework for our team. It lets our team think about it and shows that it is worth introducing a framework in the future.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The benefit of using Automation Anywhere is the efficiency of operations and speed."
"Now, we can have the bot check all of them."
"In the past ten months, I have saved the work of two people and people are happy with the results."
"We have been able to reduce the amount of repetitive tasks completed by operations, allowing individuals to move onto tasks which cannot yet be automated."
"The technical support is something that I rely on if I have any queries or if I have to work on another alternate approach."
"From an organizational perspective, it has improved how we work and determine, "Is there a better way to do things?" and, "How can we challenge the status quo?" This builds a continuous improvement mindset throughout our organization."
"It is easy to use for non-technical people, with a simple drag-and-drop interface, so they don't need to be technically savvy to automate their processes."
"When anybody talks about Robotic Process Automation, Automation Anywhere is the first thing that comes to my mind."
"I feel Automation Anywhere AI Agent is better than Blue Prism in that specific context."
"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."
"The best feature Deepset AI Platform offers is the pipeline feature that is very easy for me to compose the large language model as well as the vector database search and retrieval, allowing me to build the application and the evaluation script within a very short period of time."
"Specific outcomes since using Deepset AI Platform include ROI from fewer unsupported AI answers, faster context retrieval, and better manager trust in our quality answers."
 

Cons

"Automation Anywhere Control Room should update to the newer versions with one click, including the newer features. There should be minimum effort required from the IT organization. The major resistance from any organization is from the IT organization because they have a lot of dependencies and will sometimes resist doing changes because they have other activities and applications to manage. Future versions should minimizing their work."
"One way Automation Anywhere can be improved is in ticketing."
"The IQ Bot is pretty immature, in regards to AI and machine learning. I would like them to add additional logic."
"The analytical dashboard in the Control Room could use some improvement."
"The main problem that I have with Automation Anywhere is the support. When I have problems that I cannot solve by myself, it is hard to achieve a good result with support. Language is another issue."
"Several competing products now offer superior functionality compared to Automation Anywhere's current capabilities."
"The initial setup was not that great. The road was very up and down."
"Also, we're seemingly plagued with certain technological issues or bugs."
"The implementation cost even for a POC was very high, and that was a pain for all the customers."
"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."
"Deepset AI Platform's accuracy and reliability of output are very good when the pipeline is simple and the data is already clean. However, when the data is not clean and the pipeline is complex, the quality and reliability of Deepset AI Platform decrease."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The initial setup and licensing fees are high, and although it saves costs in the long run, reaching the break-even point can take at least six months."
"I don't deal have cost specifics but I can say it is a tool that provides value for the money."
"Complaints are generally about the cost of IQ Bot, which is higher than its competitors. The base model’s pricing is comparable to other platforms with attended, unattended, and IDP capabilities as well."
"I am not involved in the pricing, but based on what I hear from our central RPA team, it is not very expensive; it is also not cheap. Its price is in the midrange."
"If you look at the capital expenditure, Automation Anywhere is number two to UiPath. But if you take a long-term view, on a scalable model of a large number of bots coming out, it slowly goes on to become the costliest tool. There is something they can do about that. The capital expenditure goes out right at the point of buying the tool. For Automation Anywhere, I would need to spend $20,000. UiPath can give me something for $6,000, while Blue Prism will come in at $300,000."
"Our licensing costs are setup on an annual basis."
"They sell it by license, but if they could charge by case or by interaction, that might be better. Right now, it's expensive when you want to scale or use them for simple processes."
"The cost is affordable, which makes an easy barrier to entry for the RPA market."
