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.

Jajati Panda

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.

JonathanNg

Global Automation Lead - Customer Operations at a energy/utilities company with 10,001+ employees

Helped us identify areas where frontline staff aren't following standard procedures or using unexpected systems, giving us better insight into our end users' workflows

To analyze and make sense of the data generated by Kryon process discovery can be a lot of effort. It's not as automatic as some might think. It really depends on how many processes you have and how actively you use them. But the scalability aspect isn't necessarily about deployment or technical maintenance. It's really about how you analyze and gain insights from the data gathering. I'd rate the scalability a seven out of ten because the solution has been scaling well for a long time. It's very easy to deploy. But getting value out of it at scale can be a challenge, just like with any deployment. We use it mainly for process discovery. We actually proceed it from different teams. So, we have 15 licenses that we rotate with different people, actually through different teams. So, we do discovery for the online team; we gather the results after about two weeks to a month. We analyze those results, and then we deploy them again on the analytics team. We regularly deploy it to different teams. So, it's in constant use. It just runs on the systems through discovery mode most of the time.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The most valuable feature is that a job by RPA can be done three or four times faster than a human without human error."

"The solution has removed humans making errors while increasing our time savings, and we now have a lot more efficiencies in our process."

"I consider the verification station very useful because it allows you to quickly check if the data extracted are correct or if you need to change the process."

"We get a significant ROI even though the licensing cost is higher than average. The gains we realize from the initial development make up for it. In the last three years, I estimate we have saved around 2,200 hours of labor. To date, we've saved almost $6 million."

"The bot creation process is easy, manageable, and everything is well-organized for a developer. Everything is centralized."

"The ease of use of the application is very smooth for us, and coming from a finance and business background, I did not have any challenges using the application."

"For an organization who is looking to do some business renovation, the solution can work well depending on its purpose and usage."

"V.11 has three different recorders but A2019 Automation Anywhere created an all-in-one recorder called Universal recorder which more reliable to use."

More Automation Anywhere pros

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

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

"The support from the vendor is very good."

"The initial setup was easy and straightforward."

"We can quickly adapt to our end users."

"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 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."

More AutomationEdge pros

"Once I decide a process is suitable as a Kryon solution, the cycle of automation is quite quick. I learn about the manual process and I'm one of the two guys who program the Kryon environment. It's relatively simple. There are many details, but once you understand the concept it is quite easy."

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

"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."

"Errors have reduced by 80 percent based on the processes that we have automated by the sheer fact that we don't have people touching so many of them."

"In the testing area there is a good ROI, because we're now capable of doing things that we couldn't before, completely, and it's a game-changer."

"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."

"All our users have no technical background. But Kryon is really simple and intuitive. Our business adapted very quickly and easily. This is the main thing and it's why we love the system so much. It's why we are always trying to put more processes into the system and make more use cases: because of the simplicity and the intuitive nature of the system."

"The recording capability is valuable because of the amount of data it captures automatically. It's quite good. It means less development, and fewer configuration settings to fill in after you're done."

More Nintex RPA pros

Cons

"I believe Automation Anywhere can be improved by leading in the direction of seamless integration with the LLM models that are readily available today in the market."

"I would like better support. The technical support is mediocre. The support is sometimes really good, and sometimes it is really bad."

"Some things that I do not see as of today are interactive chat or video interface."

"The local support in Brazil could improve. While it has gotten better in the last few months, we've struggled as a global company trying to contact them sometimes."

"I'd like to see the stabilization of Co-Pilot and integration with multiple products... In the future, I will require integration with SAP Oracle, Atlassian, and Service Now. The contact center vertical is important..."

"Support is not very satisfactory."

"One way Automation Anywhere can be improved is in ticketing."

"So far, the stability is not good. We are trying to improve this because we are facing a lot of instability issues."

More Automation Anywhere cons

"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."

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

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

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

"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."

"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 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."

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

More AutomationEdge cons

"The process discovery tool of Kryon RPA could be improved because of its limitations."

"Nintex RPA is not suitable for PDF automation."

"Kryon could be easier to use, especially in comparison to UiPath."

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

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

"At first, we had problems with the object detection but in this latest release it has been better, and I think it keeps getting better."

"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."

"I would like to see a better OCR solution."

More Nintex RPA cons

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The enterprise version is expensive for small businesses and individual users."

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

"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 pricing is a bit higher."

"This is a comprehensive automation offering with a scalable architecture and flexible pricing models."

"We have seen a return of investment because it takes less time to market in our current process. I would estimate a times savings between 20 to 30 percent."

"We have a few licenses. They cost roughly $10,000 each."

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

More Automation Anywhere pricing and cost advice

"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."

"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."

"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."

"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."

"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."

"Kryon is slightly more expensive compared to UiPath."

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

"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."

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

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

"The product has reasonable pricing."
