Nadeem K.

Rpa Developer at a consultancy with 11-50 employees

Automation has freed teams from repetitive finance and supply tasks and supports global operations

In the current organization, we had trouble initially because I think the documentation and support could be better than what it is now. This is one difference between Automation Anywhere and other RPA tools such as UiPath. In UiPath, if you have an issue, you go to the UiPath website and search for it, and you get lots of help materials. In Automation Anywhere, you do not get exactly what you are looking for. You get a very large number of results when you search for something, and from this large result set, you have to filter out what you need, or only partial information will be available. User handbooks are available for each product. In that regard, I would say Automation Anywhere is lagging compared to other RPA tools. It is difficult to get hold of their customer support team. I want to clarify that it is not a matter of us building logic on Automation Anywhere and it failing. When it is a product-related issue, they have to give us support because we only know how to develop within Automation Anywhere. We do not know how to fix Automation Anywhere itself. Whenever we have an issue, trying to get in touch with them always takes three to four business days.

Software Engineer at Apmosys

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.

Automation has streamlined client data extraction and has improved reporting for business decisions

I work as a developer, and my manager is responsible for the research and analytics for the project with the client and business users. I am satisfied with BotFarm. I would rate my experience with BotFarm an eight out of ten. I do not see any room for improvement for BotFarm. I am using AI tools such as Amazon, Microsoft Azure, and ChatGPT. I am not using AI-powered bots in BotFarm. I am a partner with Automation Anywhere.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"If anyone is looking for an efficient automation tool, I definitely recommend Automation Anywhere because it is very helpful, even for non-technical people."

"Based on my experience, I have found Automation Anywhere to be more stable and accessible."

"The product has everything that I want; I don't have to look for another tool to integrate with it."

"It has been able to save us time in our processes from hours to minutes."

"AA has indirectly helped in re-engineering processes, which has made them more robust and efficient, and this has helped the business immensely."

"Automation Anywhere has save us more than $40,000 in the past year."

"Automation Anywhere has helped my customers save time and costs, especially in card settlements, where a task that used to take about fourteen days to refund the user now takes the next day or at the same time using Robotic Process Automation."

"We've had many sit-down conversations with the Automation Anywhere team when we were testing out the document automation. We gave them feedback about potential enhancements, so when we launched our most recent document automation use case, the capabilities were already there. We didn't need to come up with a workaround or put the project on hold because the things we needed were unavailable. That commitment to customer success stands out because they know that without us, the product won't succeed."

More Automation Anywhere pros

"The product's most valuable feature is the executor."

"Stability-wise, I rate the solution a nine out of ten...I rate the technical support of the solution a nine out of ten."

"In general terms, the solution has helped our business by speeding up execution times."

"The studio design is fine compared to other similar products. There is nothing extraordinary about it, but at the same time, there are not any negatives."

"AutomationEdge is really easy to use because the workflows are simple."

"If we want to change your processes, we can code it from scratch, making it a beneficial feature of the product."

"The support from the vendor is very good."

"The chatbot that they have is most valuable. It is one of the best features because they own it, and they don't need to integrate with other parties to have a chatbot. This is one of the main features. The rest of the features are common to all RPA tools or vendors available in the market."

More AutomationEdge pros

"One of the advantages of Automation Anywhere is that the Bot Insight feature is built-in."

"The solution seems to offer high stability. We haven't seen any bugs or glitches. It doesn't crash or freeze."

"Last year I faced a problem and, subsequently, raised a ticket, and the support team is great and they helped me to resolve the issue within three or four days."

"The solution is easy to use and easy to apply."

"There is at least a five or ten times reduction in the amount of time, and more people are free to do something else."

"Productivity increased far more than thirty percent."

"There are not many challenges when setting up this solution, and there is a good amount of documentation to go with it."

"Automation Anywhere provides a very flexible UI."

More BotFarm pros

Cons

"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. It will be around 20 to 30 percent at the start because you need to train the bot at regular intervals. Of course, this depends on the data. This area could use be improvement."

"It's somewhat pricier than some of the other tools that we've used, and the breakout between the different applications is also somewhat costly."

"I just came to understand that there is a cloud attached to it. I would like to see how the cloud is going to work, because every application is coming out with a cloud version. If you are not on-premise, then you will need to have Citrix automation."

"The conversion time of invoices to JSON File should take less time using AA2019 IQBot, the report file creation feature should be added into IQ Bot A2019."

"There could be more training provided by Automation Anywhere."

"Automation Anywhere is a technical application. It is not so easy for a regular user. It requires technical knowledge."

"Sometimes, the bot struggles to initiate on the cloud, even when everything appears in place. This issue occasionally requires uninstalling and reinstalling a component on my PC, although I cannot recall the specific component involved."

"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."

More Automation Anywhere cons

"AutomationEdge's primary issue is its price point, especially compared to other products."

"The ease of use is the main thing on which they really have to focus. If they want to go against the giants, it should be improved in ease of use, and it should be more user-friendly. It would be helpful because everyone should be empowered irrespective of whether they know how to code or not. They should enhance its user interface and make it more intuitive."

"With the solution, customizing software can be time-consuming."

"In AutomationEdge, I think there could be improvements. The variables sometimes are really confusing when you use them because the aspects around the variables are confusing, particularly the global variables and the local variables."

"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."

"While I find AutomationEdge generally stable, I believe that stability needs to be improved a little."

"It's not an intuitive tool."

"The licensing for this solution should have a more competitive pricing model. The price is in the top five of similar products."

More AutomationEdge cons

"Normally we need to monitor the solution using an AWS console and the control room. We would like to have a standardized dashboard to see all the information in one place."

"The stability needs to be improved."

"We have connectivity and integration with pretty much every single tech stack across the table that we have in the world, and there are a few areas that they don't do that well yet. I'd be looking for some improvement there, in terms of their integration with certain products."

"When somebody is just learning this product it can be difficult for them to understand, so improvements to the user interface would be helpful."

"The machine learning needs to be improved so that they perform better in terms of predictive analysis and sentiment analysis."

"I would definitely be wanting to see OCR features for improving the solution."

"The tool must execute remedial actions to resolve problems before they cause significant incidents."

"Scalability is an area of improvement. We can increase the main features for our project but when we reached out to our personnel and asked whether Bot can be expanded, we were told "You cannot scale this Bot."

More BotFarm cons

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Costs savings have been seen by employing bots for multiple shifts instead of people."

"With the rebate processing automation that we did, it has provided us a savings of around an hour or two a person on a daily basis, which is quite a lot of savings."

"The pricing and licensing are definitely moderate to costly but easily recoverable by achieving ROI quickly."

"There is an annual license to use the solution."

"Automation Anywhere is thought to be quite expensive, especially for smaller organizations."

"The pricing that we received from Automation Anywhere in the beginning was very economical for us. We've seen a lot of benefit from what we spent to what we're receiving. From the beginning, it's been a very low-cost implementation for us."

"The solution is costly and the licensing is very confusing."

"Our costs are approximately between $5,000 to $10,000 per license."

More Automation Anywhere pricing and cost advice

"I give the price of the solution a nine out of ten."

"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."

"It is expensive but its value can justify the cost."

"The licensing for this solution should have a more competitive pricing model. The price is in the top five of similar products."

"The product is available at the lowest price."

"Price-wise, AutomationEdge is pretty affordable, making it not so expensive when you compare this with other tools in the market."

"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."

"Our licensing costs are approximately $3,000 USD annually."

"It is too expensive and not worth the price."

"I am very happy with the pricing."

"The license of this solution is on an annual basis. The price is fair. However, what we did initially was a POC, but now we are looking at moving from a POC to expanding it out further. I would appreciate some kind of discount."

"The starter price is free."

"Automation Anywhere is more reasonable than Blue Prism and UiPath in terms of cost."

"Pricing for this solution can be better."

"The pricing is fair."
