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.

The solution is stable and has good support, but is expensive
Betty Blocks, when I started with it, was similar to a back-end platform with the ability to have a standardized back-office UI out of the box, which is perfect for a lot of situations. For more customer-facing UIs, we had to create the front end ourselves, building endpoints with HTML and JavaScript. Then Betty Blocks started in 2018 with the page builder. This allowed us to create drag-and-drop interfaces. That was quite cumbersome. Now Betty Blocks is entering a new generation of it - next generation forms - which should be a lot better. The most valuable feature is the back end. The way we can create action flows for things such as sending emails, creating PDF reports, or connecting to web services is very complete. I never experience a lack of functionality in it. The standardized back-office UI is said to be deprecated over time, which is a shame, because it is a real time-saver and is one of their strong points, only if it was kept up-to-date.

Has helped me create clean and structured process maps with a simple setup experience
I have not explored ways Bizagi can be improved beyond creating maps. If I explore automation and integration with other processes, then I may be able to identify potential areas for improvement. I would appreciate additional features for the free version. Currently, the elements in a process map are limited to activities, decisions, flows, and start/end points. The decision map could be improved to allow more than three options at a decision point.

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 features of Automation Anywhere are Excel, periods, database, and email action."
"From a technical perspective, developers can easily create bots and get things done with this tool."
"Tasks now don't depend upon the unavailability of certain employees/colleagues to be completed. Also, bots can run all day long which also affects the overall budgets."
"The digital worker is interesting."
"Some of the key features of Automation Anywhere include the simplicity that enables developers to build bots very quickly in a standard delivery fashion."
"This solution has decreased the time that our employees spend on manual processes."
"Compared to other RPA tools, I prefer Automation Anywhere."
"It is easy to use and developer-friendly. The development time is very short. If any system needs to be changed or any functionality needs to be incorporated to any of the technology, it usually will be a long process, like months. With this innovative tool's automation, it is very dynamic, easy to develop, and deliver results quickly. With some of our use cases, we were able to deliver within the time frame of two to three weeks, which is the biggest plus with this tool."
"The most valuable feature is the back end."
"All these components are separately tuneable, which makes it a very strong platform, and we believe that this should be considered in the enterprise market."
"Bizagi has the capability to import-export with various modelling notations."
"The design of the studio is the solution's most valuable feature."
"Bizagi is flexible, I can share things with other consultants because it is the most commonly used software in my community, and it has been a great and good resource for us in making sure that we adhere to the process."
"This solution is easy to use and it is a good tool for process modeling."
"I would recommend this product to anyone who is interested in mapping and doesn't have too much of a budget."
"Bizagi is a very powerful business process management engine, and you can take very niche processes and map them completely using the Bizagi engine."
"I am a BPM consultant, and I have found that Bizagi's platform enables me to please my clients expectations."
"It automates a completely manual, complicated process."
 

Cons

"The main disadvantage of Automation Anywhere is its high cost."
"We have used the technical support. I am quite unhappy with the support part. The higher priority tickets are not getting resolved within the SLA. Higher priority tickets for production issues should be looked into immediately. However, until they get escalated, tickets are not receiving higher priority. I would like to see this improve."
"Automation Anywhere risks falling behind by focusing solely on Robotic Process Automation when competitors offer more versatile and adaptable solutions that integrate AI for a more intelligent automation experience."
"We've struggled with some of the new features Automation Anywhere added in the latest version. For example, they added a new OpenAI package, but it took a while for me to find it in the actions menu."
"I never use Automation Anywhere in the attended space because they are bad at that, at least compared to other players like us or UiPath."
"With the automation copilot, if I have any internal tool or application and I want to pass on variables, I don't have it. Maybe the team can work on it to make it more efficient to make it work better across all automations."
"For the short term, in this pandemic era, they should have a feature to write and save directly into Word documents, Office 365, or Google Docs."
"We are still hoping to see improvements in its ability to have the client answer automatically and reconnect when Windows updates are applied."
"In many cases, they make choices where flexibility is a little bit degraded, but if you leave everything open and the flexibility is great then the usability is a little bit less."
"I would like to see full integration with AI."
"What I find lacking in the software is its ability to query the database."
"It works slowly on the cloud, sometimes."
"The technical support could be better as it sometimes takes them too long to get back to us."
"Its performance needs to be improved. The main thing is that it is limited, especially in terms of the response times."
"Agriculture, Industry."
"Its price can be improved. The price is high for the application as well as for maintaining and developing applications. When you develop, for example, a BPM, you need to pay a lot for Bizagi."
"For the small business, this is very bad because it is still fragmented. The licensing policy should be more flexible and small company oriented. In micro-small companies, there should only be one or two. That's not the problem. Maybe it is too flexible, there are so many pieces that you need to put together. When you have a small business, it can be a little complicated, not so easy."
"The performance could use improvement. We couldn't connect the processes to on one file. The performance is an issue for us."
"If they add a few more capabilities like AIML and DocGen AI, these features would be good."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"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."
"I am not responsible for the pricing part, but I know the pricing is competitive compared to other tools."
"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."
"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 saved a lot of money on taxes based on the stuff that we run."
"The cost is at the highest end of the spectrum."
"It looks like it will be right around $115,000, not counting IQ Bot, which we won't renew until later."
"I feel the cost of licensing is very high for the A2019 version."
"The pricing structure that we have been working with was based on a number of blocks."
"The pricing is quite high, but the pricing is also not very transparent."
"Its price is reasonable."
"If they can freeze the pricing in a contract, I advise them to do so."
"I'm trying the free unlimited version with unlimited use. But you have to pay to add some features."
"For the prices, we didn't try a negotiations about licensing or pricing, but if i can say a word about this, I find Bizagi prices to be well thought out."
"This solution would be expensive for a company that has a lot of users."
"We use the free version of the solution because the price is in dollars, making it expensive for where we are in Brazil."
"We have no issues with the pricing."
"The modeling part of the software is free. Most of the time, it is used for this purpose."
