Management Consultant at Accenture

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.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"Overall, the commands provided have enough range to complete almost any task, with creative out-of-the-box thinking required sometimes for workarounds."

"Document Automation is a game changer. Earlier, with IQ Bot, we achieved partial automation—around 80% of the process was automated. With GenAI and Google Vision OCR now integrated into Document Automation, end-to-end automation is achievable, even with unstructured documents."

"The graphical user interface (GUI) is very useful, since I don't know any coding languages."

"I find Automation Anywhere (AA) to be really fast on the development side."

"I liked the Automation Anywhere University. It was easy and simple. I hoped that it wouldn't take too much of my time, and it didn't, which was good."

"In some of our use cases, people were spending more than three hours per day just generating reports, and then we created an automation for this and it reduced the time to 30 minutes."

"In the age of agentic AI, it's allowing us to imagine what comes next."

"It saves time. It has saved 4,000 to 5,000 hours for one large complex process."

More Automation Anywhere pros

"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 most valuable feature of AutomationEdge is creating accounts."

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

"It is a valuable tool for developing efficient solutions, especially in finance and banking."

"We can quickly adapt to our end users."

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

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

"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

"The recording feature enables us to record what we're doing, like typing or clicking the mouse, and to identify objects on the screen. We basically teach the program how to type, instead of a person. That's the most powerful feature."

"The advanced Excel functionalities are really convenient because we work a lot with spreadsheets. It’s also easy to use the HTML selectors. It’s just a click and it picks it up. There’s not a lot of no hard-coding with it."

"As a business user, it's so easy to use. With the recording of the processes, we didn't need to hire a specific developer... we are able to build most of our processes without having to develop the actual development skillset... the simplicity is the biggest win."

"It's very seamless to interact with Excel files and web app pages."

"I primarily use Kryon RPA for attended and unattended bots and back-office automation, and I've also used it for fulfillment cases in the retail domain, where it's been working quite well."

"It has been a great value-add for us personally and easy to use."

"The thing that we find the most value in is the Process Discovery component and the ability to really see what users are doing on a day-to-day basis. We're starting to make sense of the processes that they're doing and getting visibility into what they're doing. Overall, the Process Discovery is very good."

"When the users utilize the Kryon solution, it cuts off more than 50 percent of the processing time as the logic has been pre-built."

More Nintex RPA pros

Cons

"Another feature that would be cool to see in Automation Anywhere is more use of artificial intelligence. Right now, RPA is basically limited to a bot which is simply following the instructions that it was given. However, what would be really useful is if a bot was able to more flexibly respond to issues. For example, sometimes there are erroneous errors and pop ups. With good code, you can certainly build your bots to be able to handle that. However, it does take time and a bit of technical know-how to be able to do that."

"Apart from the Chrome issue, which took them maybe a week to fix, we lost a lot of processes during that time, but it just happens unfortunately."

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

"There is room for improvement when this application is used in a Citrix-based environment."

"Better support for Excel is needed because there are a lot of limitations and we are having issues with it."

"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."

"The GUI needs to be improved."

"As a solution, it could have been easier to use than in the current state."

More Automation Anywhere cons

"They could provide more technologies for IT and security to enhance machine learning capabilities."

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

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

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

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

"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."

"It's not an intuitive tool."

"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."

More AutomationEdge cons

"Troubleshooting and debugging could be improved. It's missing a proper debugger."

"There could be some features to fix compatibility issues with firmware."

"There isn't any additional feature I'd like added to Kryon RPA because it's a good service, but the support is very, very bad, so that area could be improved."

"Another major drawback is OCR. We are not able to read scanned documents correctly in a reliable way. There is always some margin of error. Some of the processes require us to read scanned documents, and you need to ensure that it is 100 percent accurate. Without that level of assurance, you can't automate such tasks."

"We would like to see having a little more specific documentation, or some of the examples be easier to find."

"When a project is very big, a lot of memory is taken up."

"I would improve the object recognition features, making it not linked to the screen resolution or the position."

"It would be better to have [upgrades] done automatically, like an application on your smartphone. Or even if done manually, the upgrade should just be "next, next, next," and it's upgraded, rather than making it a project to upgrade."

More Nintex RPA cons

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Overall, the pricing of Automation Anywhere is good."

"We have purchased licenses, but are trying to obtain more bot programmer licenses."

"We're just starting to renew our license, and we were quoted $115,000 without the IQ Bot. The IQ Bot is another $30,000. This is with very limited pages, as we go through our first projects. The majority of the cost was for ten days of onsite training."

"I would rate the cost an eight out of ten, with ten being the highest cost."

"If you look at the capital expenditure, Automation Anywhere is number two to UiPath. But if you take a long-term view, on a scalable model of a large number of bots coming out, it slowly goes on to become the costliest tool. There is something they can do about that. The capital expenditure goes out right at the point of buying the tool. For Automation Anywhere, I would need to spend $20,000. UiPath can give me something for $6,000, while Blue Prism will come in at $300,000."

"It is subscription-based. They have different schemes. The price depends on how you negotiate with the local partner or local representative in your country."

"The cost of Automation Anywhere is high in Turkey due to the weak economy."

"Although the initial implementation cost of Automation Anywhere is relatively high compared to other options, its annual subscription cost is lower than UiPath's, which has the opposite pricing structure."

More Automation Anywhere pricing and cost advice

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

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

"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."

"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."

"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."

"We have been able to alleviate two FTEs, which was a big savings for us. We were able to reuse those resources in other locations. It is over 5000 hours a year in total savings."

"We're paying in the neighborhood of about $66,000 a year. The cost is fairly similar to its competitors' costs. It might have been a little bit more reasonable than the others, and that cost was with Process Discovery in addition."

"We are probably saving $6000 to $8000 a month in labor costs. It's not a ton, but we're right around $60,000 to $80,000 a year with our current deployment."

"In addition to the standard licensing costs, there are manpower costs."

"The product has reasonable pricing."

"Licensing costs are about $100,000 a year without any additional costs."

"The price is affordable."

"We've more than broken even over on the license. Year to date, we are at $120,000 in savings."
