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.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"I would rate Automation Anywhere a nine out of ten."
"The ease of use is its most valuable feature."
"Web-based control is the most valuable feature. We can access it from anywhere in the world with the control room URL and in any browser. Bot Insights make our report generation and other insights view easier. We can export the data in the form of CSV, PDF, etc."
"It save us time and provides ROI as a monetary benefit because it reduces FTE, the number of headcount working for a particular project."
"The code, once developed, is pretty stable."
"One thing I really like is the the recorder where you can connect with multiple systems. The OCR is also good."
"Scalability is one of the best things about most of the RPA bots. Once you create one, scalability is just about multiplying them."
"Easy to access: Without the need to download and install software on a local machine, we can access the RPA application from virtually anywhere."
"The stability of the product is very good."
"All the features come as part of a standard license."
"OpenText ProVision's best feature is the capability to attach a variety of attributes and extract and analyze that information."
 

Cons

"The time taken to execute a Bot through A2019 can be reduced."
"With Oracle, Blue Prism was easier and a little bit more stable than Automation Anywhere. Even with ServiceNow, the automation was very unreliable. It did not work as expected."
"The Control room audit logs should be moved to an archive for those that are more than six months old."
"The OCR can be a little better because sometimes while scrapping, it leads to data loss."
"On the document automation side, the document learning features are not as robust as one would expect them to be. When I am doing document automation and a document fails due to low confidence in populating a field, it requires manual correction."
"Copilot is an area with a lot of scope for improvement. It's the number one thing to improve."
"We are still looking into some of its current capabilities, like IT Bot."
"They continue to release new features, but end users struggle to adapt to them."
"Lacks the ability to have your own in-house developments."
"Integrating with or interfacing with other tools like data management tools would be very helpful."
"OpenText ProVision's collaboration management is quite complicated and difficult to use."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Regarding the price, licensing, and maintenance, Automation Anywhere provides its customers with its best and affordable value."
"My only suggestion in terms of pricing is very generic and that is to consider that as much as RPA saves cost and does automation, please get a realistic estimation done on whether you are really achieving any ROI over your investment with RPA."
"It's fine. However, I'm concerned with the credits in terms of the pricing for the AI models. It is understandable that the new ones are more expensive, but the base models, after doing the pricing conversion, cost about four to ten times as much as paying directly."
"This is a value for the money product."
"If you are looking into Automation Anywhere, get the Community Edition and play with it."
"We have reduced our headcount, approximately 200 to 300 employees, by eliminating manual, repetitive work. It provides profit to the business."
"We paid separately for the Runner and Creater components. The final cost depends on the structure of your environment."
"Automation Anywhere is expensive, making it more suitable for enterprise organizations."
