Venkat Sivaprakash

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

"From a technical perspective, developers can easily create bots and get things done with this tool."

"Automation Anywhere has not only my organization but several customers as well, particularly the organizations from the automobile industry, benefitted in their vision to transform their business objective towards the path of digital transformation."

"The best part about Automation Anywhere is the easy to use UI. It's very user-friendly. You have everything that you want in front of your eyes. You just have to drag and drop, then build your logic accordingly."

"AA has vastly improved my organization in gathering more business, reducing human efforts, and optimizing client business."

"I would rate this solution a ten out of ten."

"Workbench, which is a development tool, is very friendly. It is complete. Compared to Power Automate, Automation Anywhere is much more comprehensive and easy to understand."

"Anywhere contributed to increased efficiency, reduced manual efforts, and notable time savings across various processes."

"Automation Anywhere RPA has enabled a lot of our employees to have their valuable time freed up to do other things, ranging from the Treasury department, the Revenue department, General and Cost Accounting."

More Automation Anywhere pros

"The support from the vendor is very good."

"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."

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

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

"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."

"It helps us with cost optimization and easy implementation."

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

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

More AutomationEdge pros

"We are able to cope with our clients's demands. No matter how much volume they throw at us, we are able to get it done quickly."

"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."

"For the processes that we have automated, the efficiency has increased by 100 percent."

"Customer service gets a rating of 100 percent."

"Cuts time due to the building of a robot which runs during the night to perform time-consuming and tedious activities."

"In the last month, we achieved 11,000 activities done by robot, before Kryon we did 500 each month."

"The task mining aspect has been the most valuable for us. That's why we actually bought it."

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

More Nintex RPA pros

Cons

"The Insight feature could be improved. I don't think there's a lot of information about how to use Insight, so you have to try different scenarios to understand that feature better."

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

"Better use case management to prevent each development from scratch would be an improvement."

"The installation piece was sort of complicated because we are new to the business."

"It still uses old, deprecated Microsoft components that have an end date."

"Their OCR is a bit expensive, meaning the IQ Bot."

"With our current version, we are experiencing issues with the access of the Control Room. Therefore, at the moment, we cannot really scale."

"The areas in which the product and service must be improved are in the government sector and ministries such as the Ministry of Education and Health."

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."

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

"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."

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

"It's not an intuitive tool."

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

"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."

"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

"Another major drawback is OCR. We are not able to read scanned documents correctly in a reliable way."

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

"What needs improvement in Kryon RPA is the support. Sometimes, the solution has problems, so I contacted support, but I didn't receive immediate help from the team. You have to wait a while before the problem gets solved. This happens a few times in terms of getting cases solved. It would also be better if Kryon RPA had a cloud version because currently, from what I know, it only has an on-premise version, though I could be wrong about that. 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."

"We have found some difficulties regarding the integration with legacy systems where the screen has elements in the Hebrew language. The connection to Hebrew, right-to-left systems, is more challenging."

"Often, it's difficult to loop through a large data set unless the bot has access to the Excel file with specific settings and shortcodes."

"From our experience, the product is not suitable for end users."

"I have seen some very minor occurrences where Kryon's interactions with Microsoft Office might cause the robot to hang. However, it is about one to two percent of the time where we are seeing this happen. It is such a small percentage that it's not even something that we are overly worried about. This would be where they might have some stability issues, but it could be the Microsoft Office API or how they are interacting together."

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

More Nintex RPA cons

Pricing and Cost Advice

"It saves on the quality of work, because the quality can be bad when somebody's doing it. If a bot does the work, it's faster and comes with good quality. These are two important things along with the cost saving in the long run. That's where the value is."

"I would rate the cost of Automation Anywhere as a six out of ten, with ten being the most expensive."

"It has good licensing costs which are average for the market."

"There is an annual subscription for Automation Anywhere."

"Their overall pricing falls in the middle of the market. Cost-wise, Automation Anywhere is quite expensive because of their analytics, IQ Bots, and MetaBots. For a standalone machine, the pricing is okay. When adding in the licensing for IQ Bots (or MetaBots), it can become quite costly."

"The solution itself is free unless we want to add the support option but we have to pay for the bots we use."

"This solution costs approximately $3,500 USD per license."

"I feel the cost of licensing is very high for the A2019 version."

More Automation Anywhere pricing and cost advice

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

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

"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."

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

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

"The product is available at the lowest price."

"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."

"Kryon is slightly more expensive compared to UiPath."

"Can't beat the price... There are different pricing levels for every bot or unattended bot. You can buy however many you want. You'll need an additional virtual machine for it to work on."

"Compared to its competitors, Kryon RPA's pricing is very competitive."

"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."

"They license per robot and we have 25 robots. You get so many robot licenses and can allocate those licenses to either attended, unintended, or Process Discovery bots. If you have 25 licenses, for example, you could have 20 automation bots and five process discovery. This allocation is flexible. There are also maintenance costs."

"For an unattended robot it's $6000 a month."

"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."

"The price is affordable."
