Venkat Sivaprakash

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.

Senior Rpa Consultant at a computer software company with 51-200 employees

Automation has streamlined client data extraction and has improved reporting for business decisions

I work as a developer, and my manager is responsible for the research and analytics for the project with the client and business users. I am satisfied with BotFarm. I would rate my experience with BotFarm an eight out of ten. I do not see any room for improvement for BotFarm. I am using AI tools such as Amazon, Microsoft Azure, and ChatGPT. I am not using AI-powered bots in BotFarm. I am a partner with Automation Anywhere.

reviewer2728704

Corporate Development Specialist at a tech vendor with 10,001+ employees

Offers a user-friendly interface but lacks enterprise-level features

EdgeVerve AssistEdge RPA is not difficult to deploy and the process was fine. Concerning deployment time, it usually takes one or two days. It totally depends upon the number of use cases and the processes where we are implementing. It might take weeks as well, depending upon the process in which we are implementing.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The best feature is its ability to combine Automation Anywhere with AI to build intelligent bots."

"We are using it to backfill a lot of our resources who are retiring, so we are hiring less people as we go."

"The development of the company from Automation Anywhere V11 to a2019 was valuable. I found many important and new features, like changing the way we write code and programming. It became much easier and very flexible in version 2019A. It became very easy to use and the recording was also good. Excel became very good too."

"The best feature of AA is the scheduling and the triggering..."

"The most valuable feature of our solution is the cognitive computing because that is coming onto stream a lot faster than you would think. What used to be in the middle of, "Can this be done or not?", is becoming, "It can be done." We are getting some incredible straight through processing rates with AR around healthcare and financial services."

"Once we implemented the Automation Anywhere into my company, we freed up a lot of their time, so they could work on other processes."

"When this technology first came to market, I thought it was about robotic things, which we cannot do, however, when I started to learn about Automation Anywhere, it's completely different; it's a user friendly tool with drag and drop commands and a person just needs technical, logical thinking."

"The most valuable thing about using this product is that we are able to use the time that we spent doing manual processing for other progressive purposes."

More Automation Anywhere pros

"The dashboards are quite good, especially on the latest versions."

"BotFarm has been working perfectly fine with our business model. Its scalability is the most valuable feature. We can easily scale out bots on a need basis. Portability is another valuable feature. We work with different payment systems like Visa and MasterCard and have bots for them. Because of BotFarm, we are able to reuse these bots."

"The solution seems to offer high stability. We haven't seen any bugs or glitches. It doesn't crash or freeze."

"One of the advantages of Automation Anywhere is that the Bot Insight feature is built-in."

"There are not many challenges when setting up this solution, and there is a good amount of documentation to go with it."

"Automation Anywhere has good document extraction features where it can learn patterns."

"The solution has a lot of great features inside of it that clients can take advantage of."

"The most valuable features are the portals for extracting data from PDF files, appending data to SAP, automating the SAP, downloading reports, and mapping and creating the reports accordingly to your requirements."

More BotFarm pros

"AssistEdge made it so that the reps didn't need to maneuver through 10 or 20 different systems. We tied all that together in the background, so the reps had a shared UI, and everything else happened in the background without their knowledge. When they were retrieving data, it was done in the background through automation and pulling up to that generic UI layer"

"There are some typical features I like such as email automation, XL automation, some AI/ML capabilities that are evolving, but are not quite mature yet, and I like the website automation."

"EdgeVerve AssistEdge RPA is more affordable than UiPath."

"The tool follows a role-based working model to create things. It helps to track what others are doing with the system."

"The feature I like the most is the ability to capture elements easily, especially when automating web-based applications. Additionally, I find the SAP connectors to be quite beneficial."

"Good email automation and XL automation."

"The features of EdgeVerve AssistEdge RPA that customers find most helpful include the easy understanding and good UI/UX."

"The user interface is not complicated, even for new users. Two to three weeks is enough to get ahold of it."

Cons

"In a cost-sensitive industry like banking, where automation needs to prove clear ROI, a more flexible pricing structure would assist organizations in expanding automation more aggressively without feeling constrained by budget considerations."

"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."

"More interactions with PDFs would be great for Automation Anywhere."

"We have trouble with large volumes of data in Excel and are not getting good results."

"The first version would double our cost."

"Because we are very new to our process, so we're still sort of working through it."

"In the learning track, I was looking at the latest feature which is coming in A2019, which is very nice, because it is a web-based. So, we can do our development while sitting from anywhere. We don't need any type of installation. It's a web-based. Nowadays, everyone has the Internet."

"IQ Bot has some limitations that should be improved in future releases."

More Automation Anywhere cons

"The discovery suite that they just acquired could be included."

"I would like to be able to access BotForm using a mobile app."

"From the holistic standpoint of the product offering, there are a lot of things that need to be done."

"The implementation isn't straightforward. It's a bit complex in terms of deployment as there are a lot of settings you need to handle."

"Normally we need to monitor the solution using an AWS console and the control room. We would like to have a standardized dashboard to see all the information in one place."

"The new version is not very stable. Sometimes I can't use the recording sound."

"I would like to see more process mining features to give us insight into them before we develop automation."

"An area for improvement in BotFarm is that the communication between the Control Room and the Bot Client Missions isn't utilized well. There's also the issue with PCI DSS compliance or certain regulations that require a set of configurations that are not fully supported by BotFarm. The product should be certified or designed according to the required regulations in the finance industry to make it better."

More BotFarm cons

"AssistEdge isn't a simple tool like Blue Prism or other RPA solutions with configurable items that you can drag and drop. This involved a lot of hard coding, which posed two challenges. One, we did not have that skillset, so we depended on Infosys. Two, it's a beast to go back and update or make changes when things are hard coded because you can't just move those configurable items back around."

"The tool's alternatives work on drag-and-drop functionality without creating custom code. We don't have an in-built queue system and use RabbitMQ for it. The solution also doesn't have a framework."

"Lacks integration with third party tools."

"In my opinion, areas for improvement in this solution lie in handling documentation, especially when dealing with data from various layouts or formats like scanned PDFs. Currently, new features are emerging in other tools, like generative AI, that could enhance these aspects."

"The solution could be improved if it provided integration with third party tools like Python, native integration, which is very important."

"We provide them with consulting and strategy advisory services, but we have never recommended any organization to use EdgeVerve AssistEdge RPA."

"There should be more activities like extraction for reading or converting PDFs. There are fewer activities compared to other tools. There are no custom activities."

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The solution itself is free unless we want to add the support option but we have to pay for the bots we use."

"Their licensing processes are in par with most industry standards."

"I don't deal have cost specifics but I can say it is a tool that provides value for the money."

"I would rate the price of Automation Anywhere a six out of ten, with ten being the most expensive."

"The pricing strategy for us is one license for development. It is more complicated than that depending on the options you choose."

"I am not sure about the costs, but two Bot Runners and four Bot Creators may cost approximately 1CR."

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

"It looks like it will be right around $115,000, not counting IQ Bot, which we won't renew until later."

More Automation Anywhere pricing and cost advice

"The starter price is free."

"Pricing for this solution can be better."

"It is too expensive and not worth the price."

"Our licensing costs are approximately $3,000 USD annually."

"There is a license for this solution and it is on an annual basis. I am satisfied with the price."

"An unattended bot license costs around $5,000, whereas an attended bot license costs roughly $1,500."

"Its price is quite high as compared to other solutions, but it has a lot of features and good stability. They should reduce its price."

"Licenses are paid on a yearly basis and the cost is quite high."

More BotFarm pricing and cost advice

"EdgeVerve AssistEdge RPA is cheaper compared to other RPA tools."
