Management Consultant at Accenture
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.

Automation has accelerated agent workflows and now needs broader connections for enterprise data
In the current function calling, if Fireworks AI could be added as part of our RAG system not only with the function calling we are using now but also with a variety of other connections, then an even better situation would be possible. Fireworks is based on tool calling, so it needs to add more different kinds of connections to enable faster data retention and optimization. Although multiple optimal optimization or measurement methodologies for using LLMs are being discussed, when using them inside enterprises, the main thing is actually measuring work handling capability or work processing speed. Based on that, and also through what might be called interviews with business-side staff, we measured the speed improvements in a somewhat indirect manner.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"Automation Anywhere has helped me save both time and costs, with savings of approximately eight million in the last two to three years, and in terms of percentage, I saved around thirty to forty percent of time compared to before using Automation Anywhere."
"We are having a very good experience with this product."
"This solution is valuable because it can automate tasks which would otherwise be left for us to process manually."
"Automation Anywhere's most valuable features include its end-to-end capabilities within a single platform. It offers desktop automation, unattended automation, a recorder for tasks, and advanced IDP capability, which means that I can handle everything from basic cutting and pasting to advanced use cases. With Automation Anywhere, I don't need multiple other tools to automate end-to-end processes. I only need one additional chatbot tool, assuming conversational AI is part of the solution. If I don't have chatbots, all the capabilities are built into the platform."
"The most valuable feature is IQ Bot, as it allowed us to train it to extract important logistical information from customer PDF documents, irrespective of the format."
"Automation Anywhere is one of the leading RPA tool vendors and they have done splendid work on improving their tool."
"My experience with Automation Anywhere is quite good because we can automate the whole end-to-end process with no human intervention, and we are able to focus on higher-value activities rather than working on the same repetitive tasks, which is quite important and gives the highest impact to the business as well."
"Automation Anywhere is a ten out of ten."
"I feel Automation Anywhere AI Agent is better than Blue Prism in that specific context."
"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."
"Since all three benefits are achieved—accuracy, efficiency, and cost saving—the business impact and dollar impact is really high."
"Fireworks AI has positively impacted my organization by helping my productivity go up."
"Fireworks AI has positively impacted our organization by increasing our AI response time by twenty to fifty percent, as we now have AI agents and AI features that return answers twenty to fifty percent faster."
"Fireworks AI has positively impacted our organization by making our AI features feel more production-ready instead of experimental."
"Fireworks AI has impacted us positively as it helps in offering us access to the open-source models by advancing fine-tuning options, a massive library where we can get information from the database that we can use in line with our company policy."
"Fireworks AI has a solid API and is quite easy to interact with."
"After introducing Fireworks AI's high-speed inference engine, I found that communication speed between agents was about twice as fast as before."
"Based on my exploration so far, I find that Fireworks AI offers a platform where I can run and build my own AI models, which I consider to be the best feature."
"The inference itself works fine, with reasonable model breadth and speed, and my problem is entirely with billing, not the underlying technology."
 

Cons

"The customization feature should be made more user-friendly in order to enable the use of external reference components."
"There should be more organized training sessions. I prefer interactive classes to one-on-one training. You can create super users and organize conferences or workshops where users can learn from experts. Maybe you only have a few of these super users in your organization, so that's why you need to have workshops on a weekly basis."
"There were times in the past where through submitting a ticket for support, it seemed that some of the engineers who were helping me did not understand the product that they were supporting. That felt difficult because I felt I was almost explaining the product to the company."
"Had we had access to the RPA bots in advance, we would have practiced before fully implementing."
"Also, the Master certification should be provided free of cost for partners."
"We have been a little frustrated by the frequency of cache releases."
"In Automation Anywhere, the logging process is manual."
"It would be better to make it more user-friendly so that individuals with no experience can pick it up pretty quickly."
"The implementation cost even for a POC was very high, and that was a pain for all the customers."
"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."
"When considering weaknesses and improvements, the platform does not give us the liberty to use our own features where we can bring out creativity."
"One of the things that could improve Fireworks AI is the cost, which I think is really expensive."
"Fireworks AI could be improved, as documentation could be clearer in some areas, especially around advanced configs."
"Fireworks AI can be improved by addressing that costs can rise at scale."
"The customer support for Fireworks AI is average."
"Receiving a $40,000 bill out of nowhere, for usage I never knowingly incurred and which my own dashboard does not reflect, has been an extremely stressful experience."
"Based on my exploration so far, I find that it is too early to judge any improvements or negative aspects of Fireworks AI, as I am still in the exploration phase."
"In the current function calling of Fireworks AI, I am using it as one part of my RAG system. If Fireworks AI could be enhanced not only with the function calling I currently use, but also by adding a variety of other connections, then I think it would lead to an even better situation."
"The only challenge is that Fireworks AI is not a ready-made business application; you have to customize it to suit your organization's taste, and it lacks a user-friendly dashboard, making it very difficult to grasp."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"I find the license pricing to be competitive and reflective of the pricing models throughout the RPA space, and I believe there is a lot of value in continuing to maintain the free community edition platform."
"The pricing and licensing of Automation Anywhere plays an important rule in the Indian market because in the Indian market $10,000 USD is too much. Hence, the pricing tends to go down depending on the customer relationship with the partner: A starter pack is $10,000 and an enterprise pack is $100,000. If you go through an implementation partner, you can get good deals. They can save some money."
"The product starts at $10,000 and then it's up to you regarding how much you can consume."
"Its price is competitive with all other products in the market."
"The certifications are free of cost."
"I think it's $5,500 per license."
"Their licensing processes are in par with most industry standards."
"When you compare the cost of Automation Anywhere with UiPath and Blue Prism, those others are much less. Licensing-wise, UiPath wins the deal."
