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.

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.

Using Python in Robocorp enhances performance

In terms of licenses, there is a return on investment in that area. Other products are charged based on the licenses. However, Robocorp is not doing it that way. They are charging based on a run basis. Therefore, in that way, the company might benefit in terms of license costs and the return on investment, considering what they are putting in and what they are getting out of it.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"We work in the business process outsourcing arena, it has improved our organization mainly around freeing up people to do other things and that can be quite large numbers, in the high tens, even hundreds of people that can be freed up to do other work."

"It has reduced the number of full-time employees."

"The ability to automate low decision, highly repetitive tasks and clear large backlogs of tasks that we could not do with our human staff."

"It is easy to install and use."

"The most valuable feature of this solution is the automation of manual tasks, which save us time."

"We have automated that complete process of code review. The bot is solving the problem of ensuring the compliance of reviewing code. People use to generally skip the code review process, because it was exhaustive. Bots can review the complete standards of the code, whatever is there, ensuring the compliance and eventually saving time."

"The features I most appreciate are the built-in version control system, historical log, audit trail features, and the breadth of RPA action commands included out of the box."

"It is easy to use and deploy."

More Automation Anywhere pros

"Blue Prism is a server-based product that is a more mature and stable product compared to what we were using earlier."

"If you have really complex process, this is a very good solution and the price is fair."

"It is secure and supports unattended mode of operations."

"I would say that the most valuable feature in Blue Prism's Virtual Workforce is that it is quite stable and this is imperative to the industry we serve."

"At this point, I haven't found anything that I can't do with this platform."

"Ability to see the blueprint of the design executed alongside the actual process."

"The platform is user-friendly and easy to learn in a low-code environment."

"The ease of building automation and the development environment"

More Blue Prism Cloud pros

"The product has a valuable business process automation feature."

"I can use it as a library by importing Python scripts, allowing me to access its many features while working with coding."

"The solution is based on Python which makes it very valuable."

"Time complexity is reduced and the execution speed is much higher."

"I have worked with UiPath and Automation Anywhere previously. Robocorp offers an improved development style and support as well as flexibility of its tools. You can easily develop custom libraries in Robocorp."

"I like the fact that it's very fast. The processing speed is good, and that's what matters to me. I also like that we don't have to bother with the infrastructure setup. We don't have to care about the status of the data set, as I believe the local group will provide it. We don't care about the licensing model. We only have to care about how long we are using it."

"As a developer, I found it easy to integrate third-party applications with Robocorp. I have previous experience with Selenium, and I found the Robocorp framework to be accessible because it uses Python and Selenium keywords."

"Robocorp is based on Python, so you can use Python scripts and create libraries for your use cases. Building libraries and custom scripts for a particular client and general use cases is easy. We can reuse those scripts for other clients, so we start seeing benefits quickly."

More Robocorp pros

Cons

"When we are moving from one version to another version, it's very difficult because most of the features stop working."

"Unfortunately, this process was not used for a long time due to latency issues and a functionality gap."

"I would like more with OCR and data capture. We are partnering with IBM to help bridge this gap, but Automation Anywhere should continue to expand on their product line and provide these capabilities, as well."

"There are a lot of things that need to be improved, especially related to the Control Room, but you can develop and scale with this tool very, very fast."

"In Mexico, where our company is based, we face issues regarding obtaining new licenses, as this has to be done through a third-party company."

"With the PDF command, you can only read structured data. If your data is in an unstructured format, there is no command for it in Automation Anywhere. Then, people need to use Python coding if their data is in unstructured format. Therefore, Automation Anywhere needs to improve in the PDF area."

"Since Automation Anywhere's Japan office was only recently opened, it seems the support has not been as good as support for other package applications."

"If you are not on-premise, then you will need to have Citrix automation."

More Automation Anywhere cons

"Decipher, one of their solutions, is a waste of time."

"The cost is a bit high. Other tools are much cheaper."

"Several things need improvement, like ease-of-use, adding tended robots, adding process recording, and updating the look and feel so it seems modern."

"They should work on the solution's pricing."

"Blue Prism Cloud is a solid product that fulfils its intended functions well. Although there is room for improvement, it has integrated various cognitive and intelligent document processing features into a single product. But needs to effectively automate RPA processes despite some initial challenges addressed through product updates and new features."

"Blue Prism should adopt a low-code approach. Most RPA vendors only provide what they call a "form builder." A low-code designer would enable us to build a custom UI."

"The main issue is screen scraping with Blue Prism gives us a big challenge because we need to define which technologies are web-based have been built instead of by itself discovering the technology that it is built on."

"The AI part is currently missing in Blue Prism Studio... It would be good if the AI part is included in Blue Prism Studio, which can make it much more efficient and good to work."

More Blue Prism Cloud cons

"The standard libraries in Robocorp should be more advanced."

"The platform's documentation could be better."

"An additional feature I'm looking for in Robocorp is SAP automation."

"The solution could be more stable."

"I preferred the user interface in the older versions. When troubleshooting, it's sometimes hard to find details about where things went wrong. You need to search a little harder. It takes more clicks to get to where you want to go. It can be somewhat confusing. When you run a process that fails, it takes you somewhere you may not expect."

"They should fully develop Robocorp Studio because it would attract a lot of people to the Robocorp platform."

"I don't like the complexity of deployment."

"We use the latest version of the process studio and it takes up a lot of CPU storage. In our case, this has been up to 14 GB of storage."

More Robocorp cons

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Its usage is expensive for us because my user base is mostly in Manila and KL. The unit cost of labor is cheaper there than in the U.S. or Australia, which puts a bit more stress on how to get a positive ROI while continuing to use it."

"The major reason that we selected Automation Anywhere was the licensing model."

"If we count the integrations that we have done with Appian, which is where a lot of our savings is from, we are well over a million dollars in savings. This is from only doing development for about a year and a half."

"They all are very competitive today. At the end of the day, it boils down to the negotiations that happen and what type of partner you are."

"Although the initial implementation cost of Automation Anywhere is relatively high compared to other options, its annual subscription cost is lower than UiPath's, which has the opposite pricing structure."

"They are already coming out with a community license, which is really good. That's something that I wish to have."

"Automation Anywhere is expensive."

"I am not involved in the pricing, but based on what I hear from our central RPA team, it is not very expensive; it is also not cheap. Its price is in the midrange."

More Automation Anywhere pricing and cost advice

"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."

"I rate the platform’s pricing a seven out of ten."

"Blue Prism Cloud’s pricing is fine for commercial usage."

"The default configuration does not include large-scale log injection, but if you require, such integration, it may incur additional costs per gigabyte. I don't have the exact pricing information for log injection, but it is possible that it varies depending on the volume of data. While there may be a basic service included, additional features might come at an extra cost. When working with cloud environments like VMs, calculating costs involves considering factors such as usage duration, network traffic, inbound and outbound data transfer, as well as network access control. The pricing structure for cloud coverage solutions follows a similar pattern, although specific pricing details would need to be obtained separately."

"Pricing can be negotiated in situations where there will be heavy usage."

"Blue Prism Cloud's cost is very high."

"It is highly-priced."

"I would rate the pricing a five out of ten, with one being cheap and ten being expensive."

More Blue Prism Cloud pricing and cost advice

"You don't have to pay for the license. You have to pay for the time you use it."

"Robocorp is much better in terms of pricing compared to UiPath."

"The pricing is fine."

"The solution is a very affordable price."

"It's a cost-effective solution."

"The product has good pricing."

"In terms of licenses, there is a return on investment in that area."

"The price is cheaper than other competitors. I would rate the cost as one out of five."
