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.

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.

The tool needs to improve in the areas of security, though it is a versatile product

Inflectra Rapise needs to expand its ability. I spoke with Inflectra's executive account rep on the need to expand the tool's ability. The problem with Inflectra Rapise is that a lot of companies are still using SAP GUI. Inflectra has no intention of building Rapise in a way that allows it to interact with SAP GUI. Inflectra Rapise has very limited value for the companies I work with because they they still use SAP GUI since their top priority is SAP testing, and they want to get into automation, for which they need a tool that cannot only used to automate processes, but can also do end-to-end testing where you are not only using SAP GUI, but you are using the interface with old legacy systems that are still in use or with today's more modern technologies. In the future, the tool needs to increase its versatility. If I am at a company that uses 23 different technologies, like .NET Visual Basic, Oracle, SQL, or whatever, Inflectra Rapise needs to be made as a product that is an out-of-the-box usable tool for any technology.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"We have already seen ROI, and we are already clocking in around 7000 hours of savings per month in terms of productivity."

"Automation Anywhere offers valuable features, including command packages for PDF, Windows, XML, and Excel, as well as universal recording capabilities."

"It improved on 40+ % of manual effort which was a pain point for project budget and Project team SMEs."

"The overall UI of the tool is so user-friendly that even a beginner can use it easily."

"Workflow automation has helped a lot with cost reduction, greater accuracy, and delivery speed."

"Excel automation is one of the best features in Automation Anywhere. If we have to work with multiple excel sheets with lots of rows and columns, it gets really difficult to keep track of this is done manually. But Automation Anywhere makes it really simple and error-free."

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

"I'd say the most impactful and heavily or commonly used ability of v11 and A2019 has been the ability to integrate other code types and operations within the process."

More Automation Anywhere pros

"The support from the vendor is very good."

"AutomationEdge has shown the most productive impact, and the productivity was excellent before, and now it can increase by 20 to 30% more with AI implementation."

"The staff went above and beyond to make sure our stay was perfect, even surprising us with a complimentary dessert to celebrate our anniversary."

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

"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."

"The ability to automate our processes with external plug-ins and zero code is the most valuable feature."

"We can quickly adapt to our end users."

More AutomationEdge pros

"We saved thousands of dollars because the Rapise implementation gave us 30 or more executions for every release compared to three or four, so huge savings on manual testing effort plus easy detection of defects is very cost effective."

"We always use the product for end-to-end automation test cases."

"The first time I used Rapise I completed the automation scripts for a full application in a day and I was shocked how easy it was."

"The initial setup was straightforward; it wasn't complex at all, and we found it nice and easy."

"It's pretty straightforward to set up."

"Rapise is a good automation tool that's easy to use and learn, and you can share scripts as a team, which is very helpful."

"The most valuable feature of the solution is its versatility."

"The scripting of this tool is easy and user friendly."

More Inflectra Rapise pros

Cons

"I think it is a little bit of an ongoing struggle, because we don't deal with the infrastructure. We have a separate infrastructure team that sorts all that out. So, sometimes there are communication issues just trying to get our internal IT team onboard to run through the installs and that sort of thing. But, definitely with the new cloud version coming onboard, we'll be looking toward going to that. Hopefully it'll resolve some of that friction that comes about through the install process and complexity."

"We are having some challenges when it comes to stability."

"I would like to see more bots available right out-of-the-box in the SAP area. For example, if you take the overall OTC in our organization, we have to contact 15 teams. Even if we provide one big bot for the OTC, it won't work. It will not be used by one person. So if there could be more specific bots out-of-the-box, that would be really helpful."

"The AISense recorder in Automation Anywhere needs improvement in resilience and OCR capabilities, particularly in comparison to UiPath's superior OCR functionality."

"Even though the product is easy to use, there are some challenges when we move across different environments; there's a lot of setup needed."

"AA sometimes poses compatibility problems with new web browser versions like Chrome."

"Many of our clients would want to see scalability in pricing, and while I could say cheaper, that's part of it."

"It is difficult to learn all the possibilities that the product and automation itself offer."

More Automation Anywhere cons

"Regarding stability and reliability, AutomationEdge is mid-range. When compared with other tools such as Automation Anywhere and UIPath, they are more stable than AutomationEdge."

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

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

"The installation process could improve. It was difficult to complete."

"We cannot use extra modules while working with AutomationEdge. It crashes if we have lots of data to process in Excel."

"In the future, they should have a similar version for the cloud and on-premises, and the installation should be flawless within few minutes."

"With other automation solutions in the market, we can simulate the process in our notebooks where the solution creates the code for us, but with AutomationEdge we can't do this."

"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."

More AutomationEdge cons

"What I have noticed about Rapise is that sometimes when you keep on using the same script, it fails many times."

"When there are failures in a nightly run of batches of scripts, it can create a blocking situation where all the following scripts will fail due to unexpected results."

"It has some stability issues where the tool crashes sometimes on Windows 10."

"It would be good if there could be more integration of Inflectra Rapise, since not all customers use the same tool for test management and automation integration."

"The maintenance is very difficult."

"I faced one problem where it can't validate the colour of images and text. Also, it could not automate the mobile app, and this needs to be included."

"The maintenance is very difficult. We've only been using the platform for three months, so I'm not sure if that will continue, but right now it's an observation I've had."

"Inflectra Rapise needs to expand its ability."

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The licensing needs to be made simpler or shortened."

"It looks like it will be right around $115,000, not counting IQ Bot, which we won't renew until later."

"The setup and licensing cost is affordable, and it is not exaggerated like UiPath."

"It's the best RPA tool, but the pricing could be improved."

"If we count the integrations that we have done with Appian, which is where a lot of our savings is from, we are well over a million dollars in savings. This is from only doing development for about a year and a half."

"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's pricing is significantly higher than other RPA solutions."

"The starting price, which is a one-off fee is a bit high and this may deter mid and small-sized companies from acquiring and decide to shun the platform."

More Automation Anywhere pricing and cost advice

"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."

"The product is available at the lowest price."

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

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

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

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

"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."

"I rate the product's price an eight on a scale of one to ten, where ten means very good pricing."

"We pay no more than $50 annually for support of each one of the licenses."
