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.

Delivers increased productivity and streamlines fraud processing in banking, though technical support could be faster
Before AutomationEdge, we had to hire coder-level experts with Java or Python knowledge. This approach took considerable time and required error handling to automate processes. With this tool, all processes are automatically handled with errors, and no-code automation is available. The cost for a developer is now significantly lower. Previously, we hired highly efficient developers with high salary packages. The license cost of 5 to 10 lakhs per year for one person to automate is equivalent to a person's annual salary. With the license and a developer hired at 3 to 5 lakhs, we can automate 40 to 50 processes.

Quotes from Members

"With this innovative tool's automation, it is very dynamic, easy to develop, and deliver results quickly."
"Scalability is one of the best things about most of the RPA bots. Once you create one, scalability is just about multiplying them."
"I really like the Automation Anywhere University website because it has a lot of good documents that you can read to learn about the solution."
"The cognitive automation gives us an edge towards intelligence using IQ Bot, and this allows us to integrate and give a combined solution to a customer."
"The solution's most valuable feature is its ease of use."
"I like Automation Anywhere's document automation. It can distill or scan documents and convert the information into a structured format."
"The staff went above and beyond to make sure our stay was perfect, even surprising us with a complimentary dessert to celebrate our anniversary."

"In general terms, the solution has helped our business by speeding up execution times."
"The ability to automate our processes with external plug-ins and zero code is the most valuable feature."
 

Cons

"Improvement areas will be there for everybody. I think one area which I would like to see improvement is in IQ Bot. Maybe it has improved a lot in version 11 X but I think that that's one area which definitely scope to improve."
"The OCR can be a little better because sometimes while scrapping, it leads to data loss."
"We would like to have more ease of use for the operations team."
"It would be nice to have the IQ Bots integrated with the Enterprise Edition without requiring extra licenses. That would be great."
"The product falls behind in working with webhooks."
"I used document automation about two years ago, however, it did not work as expected at that time, providing results around 70% to 80%. After that, we turned to third-party tools."
"I would like to see a built-in read-only role for the control room so that the bot creators can log in and monitor the production environment without any auditing concerns."
"Although the UI and elements are user-friendly, it is still difficult for business users without experience to understand how to use Automation Anywhere."
"They could provide more technologies for IT and security to enhance machine learning capabilities."
"AutomationEdge's ecosystem has shortcomings and needs improvement. When we compare AutomationEdge to other RPA tools in our company, we find that it has a very minor online community."
"It's not an intuitive tool."
"The price of the solution could be improved."
"The licensing for this solution should have a more competitive pricing model. The price is in the top five of similar products."
"In the future, they should have a similar version for the cloud and on-premises, and the installation should be flawless within few minutes."
"With other automation solutions in the market, we can simulate the process in our notebooks where the solution creates the code for us, but with AutomationEdge we can't do this."
"AutomationEdge's primary issue is its price point, especially compared to other products."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"We are currently negotiating a contract. Depending upon that, we will definitely look at increasing usage."
"We have a three-year contract with Automation Anywhere."
"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."
"Automation Anywhere pricing and licensing are competitive compared to the other automation vendors."
"It is cost-efficient in terms of licensing. I found their support good when I was working for the airline client. However, I hear from my managers here that the support price for Tier 3 or premium is a little higher. That is why we are not going for Automation Anywhere. Its price was okay for our client, but for us, it seems expensive."
"We were paying approximately $30,000 for a year license."
"We save approximately 10,000 hours per year."
"If we talk about the automation RPA. it definitely has worked very well for us. I'm talking about giving good savings, about more than 180 FTE savings, after implementing more than 200 plus bots. It has worked well. As an organization, it has supported us very well, and also for our customers."
"I give the price of the solution a nine out of ten."
"If you are looking for a budget solution, you can consider AE. It has all the features. Scaling it is way easier because of the cost itself."
"Pricing can be made better. Currently, I think the pricing is based on the market. The pricing also depends on the business partners that offer you the solution."
"The licensing for this solution should have a more competitive pricing model. The price is in the top five of similar products."
"Price-wise, AutomationEdge is pretty affordable, making it not so expensive when you compare this with other tools in the market."
"The product is available at the lowest price."
"It is expensive but its value can justify the cost."
