Venkat Sivaprakash - PeerSpot reviewer
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.
Jajati Panda - PeerSpot reviewer
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.
HP
Senior Business Process Automation Engineer at a manufacturing company with 10,001+ employees
Automation has transformed document processing and frees teams to focus on higher‑value analysis
Sometimes, we encounter system errors that could be resolved via support, but connection issues are more frequent in enterprise applications. However, these can usually be solved by raising tickets if you are part of an enterprise, though we are not, which makes it somewhat challenging. It is vital to ensure the connections of UiPath Platform are maintained because it has a larger community. If UiPath Platform website included more features and documentation accessible easily, it would greatly enhance the experience. Instead of continually needing to raise support tickets, having a documentation hub where details can just be entered to retrieve required documents would be extremely beneficial.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The ROI on major bots has been phenomenal."
"The most valuable feature of Automation Anywhere is the automation that frees up time for our employees to engage with customers."
"The recorders are highly beneficial when automating web scraping or web automation tasks."
"What I appreciate most about Automation Anywhere is the high degree of interoperability, and they have both on-premises and cloud versions, which allows us to ensure that we are properly following the protocols and ensuring seamless integration with our native systems."
"The company continues with research and development to expand the capabilities of the product to meet market needs."
"They can build an end-to-end solution with Automation Anywhere."
"There are instances where use cases and opportunities have arisen as a result of having Automation Anywhere and RPA in place that have come about through very casual conversations and have actually resulted in increased revenue opportunities that we didn't realize."
"It is a great company with a great product and support."
"It is a valuable tool for developing efficient solutions, especially in finance and banking."
"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 most valuable feature of AutomationEdge is creating accounts."
"The ability to automate our processes with external plug-ins and zero code is the most valuable feature."
"If we want to change your processes, we can code it from scratch, making it a beneficial feature of the product."
"Attended versus unattended automation in AutomationEdge has benefited my organization significantly."
"AutomationEdge is really easy to use because the workflows are simple."
"Stability-wise, I rate the solution a nine out of ten...I rate the technical support of the solution a nine out of ten."
"Thanks to UiPath, we can develop new projects much faster."
"I love the REFramework and the Azure Queue and orchestrator."
"UiPath saves costs in our organization because we don't have errors where it is deployed and because it has reduced the number of FTEs who do repetitive tasks."
"Orchestrator has a lot of good features including the configuration, the queues, the transaction reporting, the logs, and accessibility."
"We are able to smooth out peak workloads. Because a lot of the period closures, like monthly and yearly closures, we work in peaks. Everything has to be done within a few days. When we can prepare a lot of the data and reports through the night, the employees can start on those in the morning. Therefore, we are leveling out some of the workload features, which is one of the main benefits."
"UiPath Platform has increased productivity for most of our clients and has reduced errors, significantly reducing the manual errors that were causing great pain points."
"Due to automation, it is easy to resolve our manual batch job run."
"Things that I like most in UiPath is the way we can automate the repetitive and redundant tasks."
 

Cons

"I would like to have the ability to schedule bots by whichever one is available."
"The initial implementation of Automation Anywhere regarding the elastic search and database set connection can be a little difficult."
"Migration is probably our biggest challenge. When we were trying to do the migration to the new version, it was a little bit painful. We didn't have that many bots, and I can't imagine the level of effort that some of the bigger customers have to put in for that. The product is stable, but moving from one release to the other was the issue."
"The improvements that we could see would be the increased stability of each A2019 releases and reduce the likely impact on existing features. We are also looking to see improvements in the upgrade and bot deployment processes to make them easier and less interaction with back end servers."
"Moving away from client-server architecture to web-based deployment compromised developer experience of app reliability offered by 11.3.X flavors. Desktop app experience >>> Web experience, developers are not pleased."
"It could be improved in terms of the global analysis of all the issues caused by the dependency components. For example, if bots are running on virtual machines on Microsoft Windows 2019, sometimes an issue might come from the virtual machine. Automation Anywhere should work closely with Microsoft or any other editor with which there are some issues occurring and stopping the bots from running properly."
"They should consider being more multi-platform."
"However, if documents are scanned and not clear, the accuracy is not up to the mark."
"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."
"The installation process could improve. It was difficult to complete."
"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."
"They could provide more technologies for IT and security to enhance machine learning capabilities."
"With the solution, customizing software can be time-consuming."
"We cannot use extra modules while working with AutomationEdge. It crashes if we have lots of data to process in Excel."
"While I find AutomationEdge generally stable, I believe that stability needs to be improved a little."
"The licensing for this solution should have a more competitive pricing model. The price is in the top five of similar products."
"My team has just been learning UiPath for the past three to four months, and they are still hitting a wall in certain areas that they have to dig out of."
"My opinion on how UiPath Platform can be improved is that I dislike cloud or web apps in general, so getting all of the cool cloud features for Studio Cloud into Studio Desktop would be my biggest priority, however, that's a personal vendetta against web applications."
"Data extraction via PDF needs to be reviewed, although working fine with OCR, it still leaves a craving for PDFs with image source."
"My biggest problem is that UiPath is growing so fast and adding integration with so many different products that it's hard to keep up. The COEs at various companies and our developers aren't able to keep pace with what's happening. It's a good problem to have. I'm not complaining, but there are so many features and little time for developers to learn and implement them."
"In UiPath Platform, I think there is room for improvement with the last release because they had some UI bugs; there are some buttons that do not work, and perhaps they should make it a little bit clearer which libraries are available or if they are deprecated, as we have had some issues with the libraries where they are working in some Studios but not in others, so the release management of the libraries needs attention."
"UiPath could gain a lot more customers if they lowered the price a little and improved the license model with some more affordable tiers."
"If you are using queues, their queue system isn't as reliable as I would like it to be."
"If I had one thing that I would ask for more development in, it would be audit trail. We're a high-trust certified company, so we need to make sure that we have all that information."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"If we talk about the automation RPA. it definitely has worked very well for us. I'm talking about giving good savings, about more than 180 FTE savings, after implementing more than 200 plus bots. It has worked well. As an organization, it has supported us very well, and also for our customers."
"Regarding the price, licensing, and maintenance, Automation Anywhere provides its customers with its best and affordable value."
"Based on what I've heard, it's costly, but I don't know much about its pricing."
"I find the license pricing to be competitive and reflective of the pricing models throughout the RPA space, and I believe there is a lot of value in continuing to maintain the free community edition platform."
"Annually, we are paying almost one million reais."
"I am not sure about the costs, but two Bot Runners and four Bot Creators may cost approximately 1CR."
"We save approximately 10,000 hours per year."
"Including the AWS setup and everything per license, it costs us around $10,000 on an annual basis. I believe that is pretty reasonable considering the teams that we have."
"Price-wise, AutomationEdge is pretty affordable, making it not so expensive when you compare this with other tools in the market."
"The product is available at the lowest price."
"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."
"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."
"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 like that there is one license for all basic needs, but it is still expensive. Sometimes, we don't need all the tools or capabilities. We only need basic automation and processing for certain clients, but we're required to get the full license. They can improve its licensing and provide more flexibility. They can create more plans or packages, or they can let the users choose the capabilities they need and base its pricing on that."
"The licensing fees for this solution are $8,000 USD annually."
"I began learning UiPath with the Community version, which is available free of charge."
"Some of the licenses, such as for Document Understanding, are a little bit expensive. We hope that they will reduce the prices over time, but it's still something new. I understand that it cannot be given away too cheaply in the beginning."
"I can't speak to the exact price, however, recently I heard in a meeting that one license for Studio Path costs 2,825 Euros per year. This price is approximate and may fluctuate."
"If you purchase an Orchestrator then it's pricey but you receive the benefit that it runs many processes simultaneously."
"We only use the technical support when we were renewing our license. The process could be easier, as there are a lot of steps."
"The pricing and licensing are okay. It's quite affordable."
