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.

Helpful tool for business process management integration and a straightforward setup
Oracle BPM is used as a tool integrated into another system. It helps in business process management and the generation of reports, predominantly at the end of the month For any new deployment of any system, it helps in improving some efficiencies, which is the reason for having the system. It…

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"Automation Anywhere is stable, scalable, and easy to use."
"I recommend Automation Anywhere to other users because it minimizes repetitive human tasks, saves time, and helps reduce costs."
"This solution is valuable because it can automate tasks which would otherwise be left for us to process manually."
"The error handling and troubleshooting are very good. It is easy for a developer to know what happened in any particular line of code."
"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."
"Recorders and Bot Insights are very valuable features."
"What I appreciate the most about Automation Anywhere is its ease of use."
"An easy to deploy and learn automation tool that can save resources, effort and money."
"The initial setup is straightforward."
"It is easy to use in a business processing suite."
"The most valuable feature is the complete workflow through the BPM, from making it available as a generated code based on the backend, deploying it in the test environment, and then going to production."
"It is easy and cheap."
"I find the data lineage features most valuable."
"The processor management system is quite fast and scalable. We have 10 developers using this solution and it supports 25,000 users."
"Currently, we define the tasks, and based on certain decision rules, the tool decides the task priorities and the time frame of the task."
"It is quite scalable and can be applied to enterprise-level organizations effectively."
 

Cons

"The Excel part needs improvement because we use it as a database. Right now, we are using UiPath for this feature, as that RPA tool allows us to sort, search, and filter in Excel databases."
"We have a lot of use cases that depend on certain Java applets, and currently we're not able to leverage the Object Cloning that would speed up our automation designing. So we have to revert to more image recognition-type of designing, and it just takes a long time to get that bot built."
"It would be great if they could do more third-party Salesforce integrations into the RPA side, which would be helpful."
"The Recorder action in the A2019 Community edition is not supported."
"The license cost is high and needs improvement."
"AA has many features but the issue is with the loss of overhead on computing resources. For example, if the bot is encrypted, the bot should decrypt it first then act accordingly. If there are issues with the logic in the bot, there will be a lot of computer memory overload. There should be an additional feature for cloud functionality."
"There could be more training provided by Automation Anywhere."
"The dashboard has room for improvement."
"Existing APIs in the product need to be fine-tuned, made more robust and flexible for adoption."
"Every time we roll out a new version of processes, we have to migrate to a new process. The process of this migration was not very smooth. We later decided that it would be easier for us to stop all processes, deploy a new version and then restart."
"The time it takes to get from deployment to production could be faster."
"The product must reduce its cost."
"From my knowledge of this solution, I don't see that the Oracle BPM includes features such as the growth of discovery and process mining."
"The solution's licensing cost is very high."
"Though Oracle BPM is a stable solution, it's very heavy, so this is one area for improvement. If Oracle can make the components of Oracle BPM lighter, and if the deployment for the solution could be easier, that would make Oracle BPM better."
"Their Case Management set of features is severely lacking and should be a target for immediate improvement dealing with unpredictable processes inside of organizations."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"I think it's $5,500 per license."
"I don't deal have cost specifics but I can say it is a tool that provides value for the money."
"Talk to your manager and try to procure an automation license for training. This will allow you to train people, so you can move to automation."
"Automation Anywhere is somewhat expensive. The prices are slightly higher, but if you need something, you must pay for it."
"If it is saving FTE and Generating a good ROI then it is Worth Investing."
"Automation Anywhere is affordable."
"The cost for scalability is much cheaper than developing a new system."
"Pricing is too high for small-scale groups. The Control Room yearly fee is high, making it difficult to break even."
"The licensing for this product is very costly. We pay for a yearly license to use Oracle BPM."
"The licensing model is good."
"The pricing is very expensive."
"I don't have information on the exact cost of Oracle BPM because a different team handles that, but it's pretty high. Oracle products are very costly. I would rate pricing for Oracle BPM three out of five. Though the pricing is high, the solution has a lot of features."
"As with all Oracle products, the licensing over VMware is an issue."
"The pricing is significantly high, particularly for Brazil where fluctuations in the exchange rate between the dollar and the real can further increase the cost of Oracle licenses."
"It's pried high, this solution is expensive."
"Oracle is good, but they're still expensive compared to other vendors."
