Venkat Sivaprakash - PeerSpot reviewer
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.

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.

Works at a tech services company with 201-500 employees
A scalable solution which is easy to install and use
I do not use the solution personally as I am not the end-user. It is merely one of the solutions that we offer to our customers. We act as consultants, solution providers. We have around 60 customers who are using the solution. I would, for sure, recommend the solution to others. I consider the profile of the project to be quite good at the moment. I rate Another Monday as a nine 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

"It is very user-friendly. The AI capability that nowadays I am seeing in Automation Anywhere is very good. They have plug-and-play AI solutions."
"The tool is a huge time saver. If I want to do something manually, it will take half an hour, but the bot can do the task within minute or seconds. In a day, month, or year, this will be a huge amount of time for me. A reduction to a fraction of seconds will be a big impact."
"Automation Anywhere has saved us a lot of time, money & efforts by automating our ServiceNow tickets."
"Using this solution has freed internal operations employees to do more "human value-add" work by removing mundane manual tasks."
"All customers were happy after automating using AA because of the better accuracy, it's easy to develop and manage, and it's easy to manage the orchestrator."
"The most valuable feature is its easy to use."
"Without thinking twice, I would recommend going for Automation Anywhere."
"Automation Anywhere and even previous versions, which I've worked on, have good core functionality. The core functionality of being able to automate and build a solution that is local and low code is one of the key differentiators that's allowed us to find success."
"The development interface is quite easy to work with."
"Stability-wise, I haven't heard any complaints from our clients."
"I will definitely recommend Blue Prism to other users and companies because, as I mentioned, when comparing UiPath and Blue Prism, I find that UiPath offers multiple online training opportunities."
"I like the solution’s simplicity in process and objects. The solution has very clear guidelines and demarcation on processes and objects which is not present in other tools. The tool’s architecture is also very simple and clear. The product’s licensing model is also very simple. Other tools do not have such a simple licensing model."
"We found the unassisted bots very useful because they can program a variety of different processes. This is a valuable feature of Blue Prism, especially when compared to other tools on the market."
"The tool is very technically sound."
"The performance is very good and it is a valuable feature."
"The new features that have come out have been great."
"The initial setup is very quick."
"The solution is very easy to use."
 

Cons

"The automated regression testing could be better. I need to build my own testing suite, and I know other tools have built-in testing suites. That is an area that's very weak in this platform."
"My experience with the pricing, setup cost, and licensing is mixed. It is somewhere in between, not the most cost-efficient but also not the highest cost, so it can be better."
"It would be great if they could do more third-party Salesforce integrations into the RPA side, which would be helpful."
"I would like to see improvement in its scalability."
"It is not able to use OCR effectively and has limited usability."
"There is room for improvement in terms of costs and procurement considerations."
"The integration in UiPath is much better. Automation Anywhere's latest version has improved. It's fine but not as good as UiPath."
"Automation Anywhere is expensive. They should consider lowering the price to make Automation Anywhere more affordable to SMEs, which comprise a huge segment."
"We would like to have inbuilt scheduling and resource pooling to distribute the bots on servers from within the platform."
"They should incorporate more functionalities in the analytics tool."
"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."
"Blue Prism has a long learning curve because the coding is complicated. You need to be a very highly skilled developer."
"Technical support wasn't great. On a scale of 1 to 5, I would give it a 3."
"Navigation within the UI could be improved."
"This solution is lacking attended automation, which is the worst thing about this solution."
"Blue Prism is quite costly."
"The solution should come with language customization, which would simplify its use for our customers."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"IQ Bots are very costly. It's not a sustainable bot for us as of now. We will look for better, alternate options for that."
"We're paying a monthly subscription fee for the bot and for services. There are no additional costs beyond the standard licensing fee."
"It's very good in terms of cost and pricing."
"Automation Anywhere's pricing falls within the mid-range, but the long-term benefits outweigh the initial investment."
"Our costs are approximately between $5,000 to $10,000 per license."
"It looks like it will be right around $115,000, not counting IQ Bot, which we won't renew until later."
"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."
"The setup cost depends on multiple factors, so you need to get details before choosing."
"Blue Prism is an expensive solution, especially in Southeast Asia, while in Europe and the UK, it can be considered moderate in terms of cost."
"To use Blue Prism, there is a need to pay INR 15,000 per customer."
"The price is on par with other products in the market."
"Its pricing is okay. Its price is pretty similar to the price of other tools."
"Its price should be lower."
"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."
"The licensing is approximately $1,100."
"It's an expensive product. For what they are providing in terms of capabilities and features for the price, I would rate the pricing an eight out of ten."
"There is no licensing fee for our customers."
