Accommodates diverse use cases and effectively meets customer requirements

AI agents need further improvements. AI agent technology in agentic process automation is still evolving. We have only scratched the surface, and there are many potential use cases yet to be explored. As technology advances, I believe it will enable us to implement more comprehensive automation solutions. Document Automation has issues related to speed. When I compare Document Automation with IQ Bot, IQ Bot is faster than Document Automation. My understanding is that they are still evolving Document Automation, and this issue of slowness will be resolved in the upcoming .35 version, so we are good with that. They are working on signature identification and validations for handwritten documents. Currently, we are able to extract data out of scanned but digital images, but there is still scope for improvement for handwritten documents.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"My clients have seen tremendous value when it comes to automating business processes. The robust nature of the application allows them to scale their business processes pretty quickly."

"Automation Anywhere is very simple to use. The features are very simple and the application light. Overall I love it."

"One very useful feature is the IQ Bot, which is helpful in the operation of the data input process to all of their applications."

"Automation Anywhere has significantly improved our organization's efficiency. Across various processes, we have achieved a 90% time savings for each use case, making our workflow much more streamlined and productive."

"Other products are more low-code, whereas Automation Anywhere is no-code making it easier to learn and user-friendly."

"The core functionality, the ability to automate these tasks and to interact, both with our own in-house software solutions as well as with our customers' and vendors' solutions and portals, has been incredibly valuable for us."

"By combining Automation Anywhere and Appian together, we have been able to build a bot that works with Appian workflows to manage all our employees."

"The most valuable feature is the task bots because we found that cognitive functionality can be improvised."

More Automation Anywhere pros

"The central dictionary is a valuable feature."

"The product is easy to use."

"This is low-cost and very user friendly. A variety of models are available depending on the needs of the customer."

"While this is a new product it has a mature feel from being built by a company with many years in the business."

Cons

"We are still looking into some of its current capabilities, like IT Bot."

"The biggest challenge that I have with Automation Anywhere is the pace of upgrades that they do. We are not an IT company, we are a mining company. We are very conservative in doing our upgrades and moving from one platform to another. Upgrades are one of the challenges we are having with Automation Anywhere."

"There are some business areas for which this tool is not capable of doing, such as in the areas of graphically-based input."

"Technical support is not very good and they sometimes promise what they cannot deliver. They promised us that they would implement multitrigger and according to sources delivery of that functionality is not in their plans."

"With Automation Anywhere, it took us a bit of time to stand it up initially. We tried to do it in a virtual environment, which caused us a bit of headache. It could have been smoother in this aspect."

"The IQ Bot could use improvement."

"We have trouble with large volumes of data in Excel and are not getting good results."

"I would like to see extensive OCR capabilities in the next release."

More Automation Anywhere cons

"The product needs improvement regarding the confidentiality of the domain information for the key administrator."

"There's an issue with the current manual that they're working on."

"As the product is very new, some minor features are still missing, but everything is there to handle day-to-day process modeling."

"The solution could improve its connectivity to other systems."

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The price is a little bit high but the support is good."

"It's very good in terms of cost and pricing."

"It is the most economically friendly and it provides you with a lot of functions."

"One of the things that will be good for the community will be to get the free version to download, which came out just a month ago called Community Edition. So, you can actually download it and try it for yourself."

"It is subscription-based. They have different schemes. The price depends on how you negotiate with the local partner or local representative in your country."

"We have seen the tangible benefits of taking monotonous work off people's plates, creating capacity, and cost reductions."

"This is a value for the money product."

"It is expensive. I would rate Automation Anywhere an eight out of ten in terms of pricing."

More Automation Anywhere pricing and cost advice

"Pricing will differ between enterprises based on needs such as customization, but the company uses a standardized algorithm for determining this."

"Scalability-wise, it is an expensive product."
