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.

Impressive flexibility and support enhance integration and performance
The best feature of Blue Prism that I value the most is the simplicity of their pricing and licensing model, which is easy to understand. The tool is very robust and, being a pioneer in the sector, it is also very stable, particularly in finance where many companies rely on Blue Prism for its reliability and security standards. From a developer perspective, I find developing on Blue Prism simple, clean, and intuitive, making maintenance considerably easier compared to other tools. These AI features have helped in developing scalable and flexible solutions for my customers, as I worked on use cases that involved natural language processing to turn free text into structured data, enabling automation of previously unautomatable tasks. Additionally, I processed voice feedback for sentiment analysis and information extraction, making interactions more intuitive and voice-driven for customers.

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

"We get positive feedback from the client regarding the processes that we have developed, as it saves a lot of their manual time and most of their work is done by the bot, without any human intervention."
"Error handling plays an important role when you schedule a bot because if you are not physically present and something happens, you need to know what has gone wrong."
"What really helps RPA to grow is the cognitive part of it. That's where the product is really good. Initially, it started out as RPA, but now there is a cognitive aspect to it. That's a key value to it."
"What I like most about Automation Anywhere is that it saves a lot of time because it rarely makes mistakes, which could have been made if we were to do that work repeatedly."
"The ease of use is its key novel feature, as I have actually trained people in finance who have not written a piece of code in their lives and they are able to pick it up."
"The MetaBots are by far the most effective system within AA. Due to the fact that no scripting is required and only the passing of variables or values to get a definite result. IQ Bot with the ABBY OCR is a powerful component to do multiple extractions in the shortest possible timeframe in comparison to human execution of similarly identified tasks or operations."
"It is very easy for anybody to learn."
"Using the Automation Anywhere University, you can go and train yourself to be an expert in the tool."
"By using the automation in Blue Prism, we have reduced the manual activities of somebody reading those emails, figuring out whose account it is, deciding where it should go, and creating the ticket."
"We were using Blue Prism mainly for simple RPA processing; I work with advisors, and we have a lot of clients that have a lot of processes, and we use the solution for the cost and management processes, and when we need to organize some information we join the information into a report."
"The most valuable feature is the work queue. This helps the user to create a workflow, and it is a very powerful tool for generating management reports."
"We've started to use some of the new features such as translation, cognitive, and we are finding them useful. We are also finding API integrations very useful."
"It's quite easy to use and easy to understand the process studio."
"Being able to create an object and use it for multiple processes has been very useful for us."
"All of the processes that we've automated have been completed successfully, and the bots are able to process them as expected."
"The web-based designer is very user-friendly and easy to use."
"The solution is inexpensive compared to many other solutions in the market."
"Ability to calculate the ROI on the jobs that are running."
"The product's initial setup phase is straightforward and easy to use."
"The solution is very stable and we have not had any issues."
"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

"SMTP mail features should come with migration options. All kind of VB scripts and Java scripts which we built using exiting version should support in this version."
"We are having trouble creating a reliable and stable situation in our environment."
"Automation Anywhere's stability could improve. It isn't completely stable, but it's getting better daily."
"The AI is very important, and they are starting to use AI. They could continue to develop it out."
"My experience has been that if the person who codes the bot is not very well-trained, then they might create unstable bots."
"Sometimes, I find that Excel automation is not as expected. Excel automation can be enhanced."
"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."
"However, if documents are scanned and not clear, the accuracy is not up to the mark."
"They should incorporate more functionalities in the analytics tool."
"The upgrades could be managed better. I would also like to see more true AI development and machine learning."
"Though Blue Prism has now come up with features like decipher and computer vision, it is still not able to address most of the issues, making it an area of concern where improvements are required."
"The domain in regards to cognitive abilities and the use of processing activity needs improvement. They have added this capability, but that's not really big in the public. It is more also available for gold partners. So they should improve the user activity for the public or even the regular customer."
"Technical support is in need of improvement."
"We would like to have inbuilt scheduling and resource pooling to distribute the bots on servers from within the platform."
"The only issue I have found in Blue Prism is an archiving issue once you have a huge database size, so the archiving is quite slow on Blue Prism's side."
"Occasionally, there may be stability issues where certain nodes begin to behave erratically and produce errors."
"Would like to see more additions to the library."
"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."
"There is a learning curve, and some training could be included to bring users up to speed."

"Automation Anywhere University is pretty good. They make it available free for everyone."
"Costs savings have been seen by employing bots for multiple shifts instead of people."
"It is not cheap, with costs ranging between 700 to 800 dollars per month. While Power Automate is cheaper at 15 dollars per month, Automation Anywhere offers superior features, user-friendliness, and smoothness."

"On a yearly basis, our licensing costs are about $80,000. There are no additional costs beyond the standard licensing fees."
"Automation Anywhere is expensive, making it suitable only for enterprise organizations."
"It is the most economically friendly and it provides you with a lot of functions."
"The ROI is really good. We have saved time and money."
"The price is on par with other products in the market."
"The pricing is really good for an enterprise-level solution. It's quite scalable and it's quite comparable with the market."
"Blue Prism has a higher cost with respect to RPA enablement, particularly if you are trying to start with RPA."
"The licensing is approximately $1,100."
"With Blue Prism, there are no additional fees"
"Blue Prism is less expensive than some of the other RPA solutions."
"My clients tend to feel that the overall implementation cost is a little high."
"The price of Blue Prism is high compared to others solutions. It would be helpful if they could provide a trial version for new users to try. Other vendors provide a community or trial version. There are not any hidden costs."
"The tool is expensive."
