Venkat Sivaprakash - PeerSpot reviewer

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.

With an easy initial setup phase in place, the tool needs to provide functionalities like web scraping to users
It is a very scalable solution. In ElectroNeek, you can build your project in modular programming or with the use of sub-programs. You can have a lot of sub-programs that make up a whole project. If you don't wanna use the drag-and-drop activities, you can use JavaScript or Python instead. So it's very useful when you are working with things such as SPS. Actually, you can write scripts to support all the product functionalities with Python and manage the product's functions. You will find a company named Apollo Studios on the website of ElectroNeek. I think they are one of the best companies in South Africa that entered into a partnership with ElectroNeek.

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 feature is the object cloning."
"The OCR is the most valuable feature, though this is a third party feature that we have integrated. It is quite easy to integrate with other solutions."
"The most valuable feature is the user-friendly interface."
"We have never not had a yearly ROI; we've always greatly exceeded the cost of, or the investment in, the tool and it is saving us more than millions of dollars a year."
"They can build an end-to-end solution with Automation Anywhere."
"Many tasks take a long time for a person to do them. Automation Anywhere enables us to do those jobs in less time."
"Automation Anywhere is stable."
"AA provides multiple features such as Windows actions, Database actions, Conditional Actions, Files/Folder Actions, Loop actions, Internet actions, and Clipboard actions. I have used mostly all of these features."
"It is a stable solution."
"The stability is fantastic and is one of the great points of this solution."
"We like the reliability and robustness of Blue Prism."
"The most valuable feature is the ability to do surface automation, allowing interaction with legacy systems where terminal emulation is still in use."
"It has improved our organization in that we have been able to reduce manpower a lot, as lots of manual tasks have now been automated, and it has really been helpful in the field of insurance."
"The only feature that stands out in Blue Prism, as compared to other tools, is security."
"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."
"The features I find most valuable in Blue Prism are the security features and the process flow that is very well designed."
"It's a very stable product."
"ElectroNeek was extremely easy to use, especially its UI was easy to navigate with limited training."
"The cost is the best thing about ElectroNeek."
"The solution is user-friendly with a really good UI and ID."
"My favorite feature is that you can have unlimited bots without having to buy more licenses. That's a powerful option for scalability."
"We find the OCR feature very valuable, due to the corrector recognition that it provides; this is very useful for document processing."
"The product's initial setup phase was easy."
"The product's setup is straightforward."
 

Cons

"The original setup was easy. What was difficult was adding licenses. I went a month where I was paying for licenses that I couldn't use, for various reasons. That was painful."
"In the control room, the manual bot update should be looked at."
"We have a third bot which takes longer being automated than it did with the human process."
"The workflow has a complex drag-and-drop interface that is not user-friendly and requires a good technical understanding, which can be challenging for users."
"With Automation Anywhere, it took us a bit of time to stand it up initially. We tried to do it in a virtual environment, which caused us a bit of headache. It could have been smoother in this aspect."
"What I don't like about Automation Anywhere is that its troubleshooting tools need to be improved because they usually take a long time to solve problems as they come up."
"I would also like to see better communication with their customer success teams. It often takes longer than expected when we submit requests for help or come across a problem we want to resolve. While I can appreciate that it sometimes takes a while to get the appropriate answer, it would be nice to be in constant communication about where they are in the process."
"If we are going through the high availability in the IQ Bot setup, it's a bit complex."
"The licensing models for this product need improvement. Compared to other tools on the market, it is one of the most expensive."
"At this moment, Google Chrome is a massive issue within the toolset, due to the way Google Chrome receives updates regularly but Blue Prism is unable to cope."
"As a user, I cannot directly work with the bot. On a daily basis, I use and do some work in Microsoft Excel, which cannot be directly taken into Blue Prism. Our company majorly runs on Microsoft Excel. Everybody has Excel sheets as their working sheets. Therefore, we need a kind of automation to be able to do things with this program. This bot is almost like an invisible staff that works between the servers but not with the users. This bot works well with SAP and things like that, but it doesn't work with Excel sheets. It doesn't work with the bots that we have, and I cannot invoke an RPA right now as a user. It has to be done by an administrator who has better control than me. It needs better integration with Microsoft Excel. Its price can be improved. It is expensive for us. It should be cheaper for a market like ours. We are based in India."
"One area that needs to be improved is the resource monitoring with respect to queuing processes."
"The solution can be improved by switching off data DB and including a report section."
"The deployment of the bots should be much faster and more intuitive."
"I would like to see the vendor improve the efficiency of Blue Prism interaction with applications."
"If this solution had a framework for exception handling then it would be very helpful."
"I think that this solution could improve remote desktop interactions."
"ElectroNeek comes with three activities and we cannot add activities like we can with uiPADs."
"The integrating capability of the product needs to be improved, to ensure that it works with all systems involved in a process."
"The pricing is an area with a shortcoming, and from an improvement perspective, it needs to be made cheaper."
"When I wanted to use web scraping for tables in web applications, I found through online forums that such functionality or activity is currently not working as it shows."
"The solution needs to improve its stability."
"The solution works well with Google Chrome, but not with Microsoft Edge, which is the browser we use for automation."
"Its price could definitely be lower."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"When I started working on it, it was difficult to obtain a trial version (barrier to entry). Now, they have a Community Edition, which may make it easy to get started."
"We only deal in annual licenses. There are no pay-as-you-go licenses."
"In the Indian market, I feel that for mid-size companies, such as ourselves, that having multiple bots costs a lot. If Automation Anywhere wants to expand in the Indian market, they will need to look at their pricing."
"We have a few licenses. They cost roughly $10,000 each."
"The price is very reasonable."
"It's cheapest among the competition, although bargaining is a must."
"Our company is investing a lot of money in Automation Anywhere. They have saved money wherever humans are working. They invest a lot of money in FTEs and other logistics, so the money saving is very pretty good with Automation Anywhere. While I don't know the exact figure, the tool is saving us millions of dollars as well as saving about 40,000 hours in the last year."
"The product starts at $10,000 and then it's up to you regarding how much you can consume."
"Its pricing is okay. Its price is pretty similar to the price of other tools."
"The price is on par with other products in the market."
"This is a very expensive product and this is the reason that they're losing their market share."
"I chose Blue Prism because it is priced well. The pricing was right for me at that moment even though Automation Anywhere is better in other aspects."
"Other than your infrastructure, in terms of servers that you have to set up, I don't think that there are any costs in addition to the standard licensing fees."
"The license for Blue Prism is very straightforward, we only need one license."
"Due to our financial structure, we need fixed costs. So, a license based on the usage would not be feasible. If we have a license model that is based on tasks per year or something else, it could create a very dynamic range of costs. Due to our public financial input, we have to know what it will cost. So, we have licenses per server. This helps us in planning, and we know exactly when we need additional servers. We can then request additional money for them."
"Blue Prism is less expensive than some of the other RPA solutions."
"Its price could definitely be lower. Its licensing is on a yearly basis. There is no additional cost to the standard licensing fees."
"My company has made a payment towards the purchase of a license from ElectorNeek."
"It's very affordable and the licensing is billed on a yearly basis."
"I give the price an eight out of ten."
"On a scale of one to ten, where one is cheap, and ten is expensive, I rate the pricing a seven."
"I believe we had a Silver Membership or something similar annually."
