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.

Has significantly improved efficiency in finance and operations while reducing turnaround time and defects
The most valuable features include process task mining where UiPath Automation Ops records tasks performed on the computer and generates output in the form of a process map and procedural document. It captures all clicks made, making documentation easier. Additional features include image processing, PDF file processing, Excel file input processing, data calculations, and cross-application data movement. Automation Cloud is a comprehensive solution, while UiPath Automation Ops handles governance, coding standards, and user access management. Automation Ops is primarily used by developers and support teams, whereas Automation Cloud is used for implementation and development.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"We saw a 70 percent decrease in manual steps; if something took 10 steps to do, we are doing it in three steps today."
"Automation Anywhere (AA) is really fast on the development side. It's an efficient and intelligent RPA tool, with a good engine and good connectors."
"The ROI on major bots has been phenomenal."
"The way it integrates with subsystems is impressive. When automating business processes, there might be multiple systems in use. Automation Anywhere provides various ways to connect, such as by directly using backend APIs or using the frontend. This is incredibly useful."
"Our workforce has limited capacity, and by adding this solution we can increase the amount of work coming in without adding to our workforce."
"This tool provides us with easy accessibility for adopting the new process, as it is more user-friendly, and many new resources are able to grasp the tool and start doing the automation with ease, which is basically missing in the other vendors' tools."
"The standout qualities of Automation Anywhere were the ease of automation and that it is an intuitive tool. After a simple walkthrough, a couple of hours or two, you would be able to hit the ground running."
"The best features of Automation Anywhere are having a user-friendly interface and the ability to integrate AI, and APIs and services like OpenAI's ChatGPT can be integrated, enhancing its functionality."
"The solution offers benefits including defect reduction, improved lead time, reduced turnaround time, decreased average handle time, increased productivity, full-time employee releases, bottom-line cost savings, and enhanced customer experience."
 

Cons

"My opinion is that we need to have a video or tutorial on how to implement these features, as well as seeing what results to expect."
"Right now, we are using a VM with Automation Anywhere installed inside it, but it would be nice if the solution could be used on macOS."
"More structured and unstructured data collection will be a challenge. While we have the IQ Bot tool, the success rate at the beginning will be lower."
"With our current version, we are experiencing issues with the access of the Control Room. Therefore, at the moment, we cannot really scale."
"So far, the stability is not good. We are trying to improve this because we are facing a lot of instability issues."
"Regarding the UI, once you're on some of the screens there are fixed dialogues, they are a set size, so there's a lot of horizontal scrolls and vertical scrolls. If I want to do something that is purely business-related and is somewhat complex to write or is nuanced, I sometimes have trouble implementing that inside of the Automation Anywhere script."
"We need a native way in Automation Anywhere's framework to tie all that information together, including AI dashboard, governance dashboards, and document automation results."
"IQ Bot is pretty good, but we can only run a maximum 150 documents."
"Bot task loading needs improvement, though I cannot provide detailed information about this aspect."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"This solution costs approximately $3,500 USD per license."
"We have saved a lot of money on taxes based on the stuff that we run."
"On a scale of one to ten with ten being the most expensive, I rate the price of Automation Anywhere an eight out of ten."
"Our pricing a year ago was $600 per license."
"Its price is competitive with all other products in the market."
"The setup cost for this is onetime and licensing is based on your choice of product."
"It's the best RPA tool, but the pricing could be improved."
"Overall, the pricing of Automation Anywhere is good."
