Account Director at a tech vendor with 10,001+ employees
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.

Easy integration and workflow proposals streamline processes
The predefined connectors eliminate the need to write code for connectivity. If you have a predefined connector, it is easy to use with plug and play functionality. The processing time and ease of use are significant benefits. As everyone is moving into AI integration, it will definitely help. When creating workflows, they can propose solutions directly.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"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."
"We are now building all these checks through Automation Anywhere AI Agent which will do all the AI checks and then give the decision whether the policy is to be issued or not."
"I feel Automation Anywhere AI Agent is better than Blue Prism in that specific context."
"It has improved the costs of managing my customer’s data."
"We allow non-technical people to use Matillion to load data into our data warehouse for reporting, so it is easy enough to use that we don't always have to get a technical person involved in setting up a data movement (ETL)."
"The product has a good user interface."
"On a new project using Matillion, it took me 10 minutes to set up and begin importing data from Safesforce.com."
"It makes loading and transforming data on Snowflake very fast, easy, and affordable."
"Matillion ETL has great Git integration that is perfect and convenient to use."
"I would recommend Matillion ETL for any cloud-based operations."
"Matillion ETL helps manage data movement, ingestion, and transformation through pipelines."
 

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."
"Our main challenge currently is that Matillion runs on an EC2 instance, limiting us to running only two processes simultaneously at the entry level."
"Going forward, I would like them to add custom jobs, since we still have to run these outside of Matillion."
"The current version is a bit more limited because it's on a virtual machine, and everything executes on that one virtual machine."
"It needs integration with more data sources."
"There are certain functions that are available in other ETL tools which are still not present in Matillion ETL. It would be good to have more features."
"Matillion’s on-premises capabilities don’t allow you to build something customized."
"One of the features that's in development is data privacy in the cloud, along with further SAP integration. For connectivity to SAP systems."
"When using the SQL loader type there were not a lot of pre-processing features for the data. For example, if there is a table with twenty columns, but we only want to load ten columns. In that case, we can use a security script to select the specific columns needed. However, if we want to perform extensive pre-processing of the data, I faced some challenges with Matillion ETL. I did not encounter many challenges, but my overall experience is limited as I only have three years of experience."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

Information not available
"It is cost-effective. Based on our use case, it's efficient and cheap. It saves a lot of money and our upfront costs are less."
"It was very easy to purchase through the AWS Marketplace, but it was also expensive."
"I think it is cost conscious. It used to be very cheap and they have more recently bumped up the pricing, so it is competitive now."
"The AWS pricing and licensing are a cost-effective solution for data integration needs."
"The solution is very cheap. You're paying $2.50 an hour and if you set your service up, which you can do, you're not getting charged. Currently, our ETL process is just an overnight process that runs for about an hour. I can start and stop my server just for an hour if I want to and spent $2.50 a day for an ETL solution. There are no additional costs."
"I have heard from my manager and other higher ups, "This product is cheaper than other things on the market," and they have done the research."
"A rough estimation of the cost is around 20,000 dollars a month, however, this is dependent on the machine used and how Matillion ETL is used."
"The product must improve its pricing."
