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.

Technology Architect at Infosys

Automation has delivered secure banking workflows and handles complex client applications efficiently

If we are talking about how Blue Prism has impacted the accuracy and speed of data processing in my tasks compared to UiPath, it is better than UiPath. There is no doubt about it. 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. Compared to Blue Prism, I see that all the training materials, small videos, and diplomas are more readily available in UiPath, but I do not think everything is as accessible in Blue Prism. My overall rating for Blue Prism is ten out of ten because I worked almost five years in Blue Prism and my experience has been good.

It's easy to create Python libraries and custom scripts for a particular client and general use cases

We've had conversations with the head of Robocorp over Slack about things we want to improve. We want to introduce some packages, but the authentication tokens and many other things are not there. We can do it in Python, but the custom packages are unavailable. We would also like an integrated PDF reader and better integration with custom solutions. The built-in Excel customization is limited, but we can still accomplish what we want using Python. We must rely on Python to customize processes in Robocorp. I don't know about the latest IDE from Robocorp, but the old one doesn't have a lot of activities. I don't know if they have updated the UI in the latest version, but they could improve that. The UI selector isn't that great. It would be nice to take elements from the console and customize parts. Everything is based on command lines, which I do not like. A flow chart with block items would be good for optimizing code. I would also like more support tools for developers so it's easier to understand when passing code to others.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"Automation Anywhere has improved my company significantly; earlier we were dependent on the client installed on local machines, but now it is completely web-based, so we don't have to worry about having a dedicated VM."

"As a solution for process automation, it's been very easy for us to use, and I don't think that we could have done it with any other solution."

"The most valuable feature is the object cloning."

"Training videos are very good and include detailed examples, which is really helpful for beginners."

"With Discovery Bot, we can even have our business people enabled with process finding and do an evaluation on whether it can be converted into an opportunity."

"On a scale of one to ten, I would rate Automation Anywhere a nine."

"Automation Anywhere's image reader is the most valuable feature."

"The Bot Store is an online library where anybody can find variously developed, production-ready bots."

More Automation Anywhere pros

"It is good for transactions that are very straightforward. It works very nicely with the structured data. It is user-friendly. It is easy to implement and easy to understand."

"The overall package from Blue Prism is valuable, and I cannot pinpoint one certain part."

"This is a scalable product."

"Mostly we use the Design Studio to develop the automation; it's great, we put them into deployment and have the automated process running, and it's essentially the Design Studio for Blue Prism and the entire methodology of delivery that is the most useful or valuable to us."

"You can easily see where all your problems lie, in a visual way. It's always nice to have a visual representation of things... Seeing things at one glance makes a lot of difference, instead of having to read through the fine print and see where the issues are."

"One key feature is the workflow design is able to be customized according to the way that you want the automation to work."

"The stability is fantastic and is one of the great points of this solution."

"The integration has improved a lot in terms of SAP, and other screens."

More Blue Prism pros

"It offers high scalability and enables automation in ways that haven't been possible before."

"It's easy to deploy bots via the API helper in Control Room. Robocorp's debugging features are also robust. It shows you a lot of data."

"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."

"The ability to create separate organizations on this platform makes it easier to bill each of the clients separately."

"It supports Python runtime because of that, runtime also improves."

"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."

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

"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."

More Robocorp pros

Cons

"Document Automation has issues related to speed. When I compare Document Automation with IQ Bot, IQ Bot is faster than Document Automation."

"It is frustrating at times to experience this instability, but we do find a solution and we are working on it to be better."

"The areas for room for improvement are always going to be around experience, making it even easier to get engaged, and get started. Because lowering that threshold to get started is what enables an additional set of problems to be solved."

"Commands in Excel, Outlook, and Word automation are very limited and hence facing difficulties automating complex requirements for the above applications with V11 version."

"Additional features should involve the Cognitive Section where we need more Advance solutions involving ML & AI."

"The main issue I identify is that the cost of the enterprise-scale license and add-ons can be a barrier for small businesses."

"After implementing, I have seen that some customers are not getting ROI from that, so they are stepping back from using Automation Anywhere."

"Migration is a little challenging since it requires direct integration with DB, credential vault and all that."

More Automation Anywhere cons

"The license cost is a bit high."

"There are a couple of challenges in Blue Prism's latest version."

"Occasionally, there may be stability issues where certain nodes begin to behave erratically and produce errors."

"I would like to see bespoke dashboards allow the front-end to display what is required."

"If that bot is running 24/7, we have to allocate people 24/7, 24 hours a day. The cost of support can be quite high."

"The domain in regards to cognitive abilities and the use of processing activity needs improvement."

"The control room is still the desktop version, which restricts access. You can't really access it from anywhere."

"Blue Prism is not very flexible when it comes to integrations."

More Blue Prism cons

"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."

"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."

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

"We would also like an integrated PDF reader and better integration with custom solutions. The built-in Excel customization is limited, but we can still accomplish what we want using Python. We must rely on Python to customize processes in Robocorp. I don't know about the latest IDE from Robocorp, but the old one doesn't have a lot of activities."

"Robocorp is still in development, so most of the keywords are a bit confusing. I have to alter lots of automation steps between processing and development. However, Selenium is due for an update soon, and Robcorp is addressing some of the limitations caused by the previous Selenium version."

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

"The platform's documentation could be better."

"It would be better if it were more user-friendly for non-technical users. It would be better if they had some drag-and-drop features to create logic."

More Robocorp cons

Pricing and Cost Advice

"We are currently negotiating a contract. Depending upon that, we will definitely look at increasing usage."

"On average, a bot runner in Automation Anywhere can cost $5,000, while in Microsoft Power Automate, you can get most of the same functionality for $100."

"The licensing cost is approximately $4,000 USD, which is a seed license."

"If we talk about the automation RPA. it definitely has worked very well for us. I'm talking about giving good savings, about more than 180 FTE savings, after implementing more than 200 plus bots. It has worked well. As an organization, it has supported us very well, and also for our customers."

"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."

"We just did a round of price comparison on a global scale and found it's so hard to compare the license prices. But, Automation Anywhere, in general, is on the same price level as the other vendors, a bit lower in some cases."

"On a yearly basis, our licensing costs are about $80,000. There are no additional costs beyond the standard licensing fees."

"Despite being less expensive than UiPath, Automation Anywhere remains cost-prohibitive for many small and medium-sized businesses."

More Automation Anywhere pricing and cost advice

"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."

"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."

"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 has a higher cost with respect to RPA enablement, particularly if you are trying to start with RPA."

"They work on a big partnership kind of program with our organization, and they also give us a lot of discounts. Its price is pretty much comparable to the other solutions like UiPath and Automation Anywhere."

"It is expensive for us. It should be cheaper for a market like ours. We are based in India."

"The solution is not that expensive and a five-year license costs about 20k euros."

"The price is on par with other products in the market."

More Blue Prism pricing and cost advice

"The product has good pricing."

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

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

"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."

"The solution is a very affordable price."

"It's a cost-effective solution."

"The pricing is fine."
