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.

Automation and AI integration enhance performance and user experience
The improvements or enhancements I would like to see in Blue Prism Cloud revolve around further developing server-client architecture, focusing on centralized control for remote agents. I believe more capabilities in that area could be beneficial. At the moment, I don't recall any specific features or functionalities missing from Blue Prism Cloud that come to mind. In terms of complexity, I find that Blue Prism Cloud is somewhat straightforward to use. Flexibility-wise, it engages well with Microsoft-based technologies. However, there are challenges with OCR capabilities that remain an issue. While there are readily available features that work well, the effectiveness does depend significantly on the type of use case I am implementing.

Offers good UI but needs to improve its integration capabilities
Speaking about how the tool is useful in automating repetitive tasks in our company, I would say that my company started to collect data with the help of Datamatics while also using its GPS tracking features. The tool's UI is much better than the ones offered by other similar products in the market. I recommend the product to others who plan to use it. I suggest that others use their own method of interrogation since it will help them achieve more growth in their organizations through the use of the tool. I rate the tool a seven and a half out of ten.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"I have enjoyed using all the features of this tool, not just one feature, e.g., object cloning, Excel automation, and the web recorder."
"Basically, to be frank, most of the features are awesome."
"The universal recorder along with the Excel basic and advanced packages has been highly valuable."
"The most valuable feature is that it is intuitive. It is designed so business users can use it with a drag and drop functionality to develop automation of business processes. Since they are the experts on business processes, there are probably the best ones to create the automation."
"Automation Anywhere overall is a great tool for automation, as it provides a lot of flexibility to work with different other applications."
"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 digital worker is interesting."
"My experience with the deployment has been very good."
"There is no latency in the product."
"Blue Prism Cloud offers a lot of security in terms of data."
"The user performance is the most valuable feature."
"UiPath is also user-friendly."
"It automates our accounts payable process, requiring no human interaction and saving us a hundred percent of the time."
"The most valuable feature is the speed at which we are able to implement solutions that can interact through the user interface in the same way that a human being would."
"It’s scalable."
"This product is quite scalable."
"Ability to calculate the ROI on the jobs that are running."
"The solution is very stable and we have not had any issues."
"The product's initial setup phase is straightforward and easy to use."
"The solution is inexpensive compared to many other solutions in the market."
"We believe that the value and the cost of the Datamatics TruBot really fits financial institutions' budgets much better than what we'd call the big three, the Automation Anywhere, Blue Prism, UiPath."
 

Cons

"More and more innovation is going on, and they'll have to keep adding features to keep up with the market. They have generative AI on their platform, but that's a new part. They are working on it. It's not 100 percent foolproof, but eventually it will get better. They need to work on their AI capabilities."
"Sometimes, the ESX services will stop. We are working with IT to resolve this, as it's not our fault. Automation Anywhere is stopping the service, and during that time, the bot will be stopped. Right now, we are logging into the client machine and restarting/rebooting them, then restarting the services. As some of our processes run at night, we won't know that the service is down since our processes run 24/7. This issue is then escalated to the manager. This is the current challenge that we are facing, and we would like them to improve this."
"It would be great if there will be a built-in machine learning model available in the AA, so the developer can directly map it with their task and train the model accordingly."
"If we are going through the high availability in the IQ Bot setup, it's a bit complex."
"PDF extraction and cognitive automation need improvement."
"Pricing is too high for small-scale groups. The Control Room yearly fee is high, making it difficult to break even."
"We would like to have a better debugging facility."
"Automation Anywhere could use to be more stabilized."
"Improvement should be per customer requirements."
"Pricing for Blue Prism Cloud is a pain as it's a little higher."
"They should improve the user-friendliness and they should change their business model."
"It takes a while to get up and running."
"They should work on the solution's pricing."
"Blue Prism Cloud needs to improve support, though documentation is available online. It is not detailed, which does not help."
"The area for improvement in Blue Prism Cloud is the support component. Whenever I reach out to the Blue Prism community, they consistently request knowledge sessions for everything, whether it is an advanced feature or not."
"The pricing was a bit high, from what I understand. That might have played a role in the decision to migrate to another solution."
"Would like to see more additions to the library."
"There is a learning curve, and some training could be included to bring users up to speed."
"I'd like to see more additions to the library, which I believe currently has 200 plus items."
"The stability of the product has certain shortcomings, making it an area where improvements are required."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"I do not know the price, but I am told that it is cheaper than UiPath."
"We have purchased licenses, but are trying to obtain more bot programmer licenses."
"Currently, it stands as one of the more expensive RPA tools available."
"The solution's pricing is pretty decent."
"From my experience, I can say that the initial setup cost is easily recovered over a period of time once the bots start running in production."
"Our annual licensing costs are around $100,000 a year."
"Overall, the pricing of Automation Anywhere is good."
"If you are looking into Automation Anywhere, get the Community Edition and play with it."
"The pricing for Blue Prism Cloud is two out of ten because it's higher than every other technology. My company is on a three-year Blue Prism Cloud license."
"We pay about $15,000 per quarter in licensing costs. We don't have to pay for any other extra costs. There isn't, for example, an extra cost for technical support. We just pay the licensing."
"Pricing can be negotiated in situations where there will be heavy usage."
"The pricing is fine."
"Blue Prism Cloud’s pricing is fine for commercial usage."
"There are costs for the machine to run the robots."
"There are many RPA solutions available from different vendors and the pricing for Blue Prism is competitive."
"We found the pricing reasonable, and it aligned with our budgetary requirements."
