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

"In some of our use cases, people were spending more than three hours per day just generating reports, and then we created an automation for this and it reduced the time to 30 minutes."

"It doesn't require any coding knowledge. Any business person can automate this process."

"In my case in particular, I come from a business background, not an IT background. So, it sort of speaks for itself that I was able to pickup its functionality and how it works. In the space of two years time, I've gone from a junior developer to a senior specialist. So, it really speaks for itself in terms of being user-friendly."

"RPA platform with a good accuracy rate, variable management, and OCR feature. It has a straightforward setup."

"All RPA tools used in the market have similar features and aspects that can be developed, however, specifically for Automation Anywhere, the ready-to-use templates which can be used as plug and play are a great feature."

"Anywhere contributed to increased efficiency, reduced manual efforts, and notable time savings across various processes."

"The integrations with the OCR engines in Automation Anywhere are quite powerful, and they have helped us in many projects."

"From a developer perspective, the user interface is user-friendly and easy to use."

More Automation Anywhere pros

"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."

"The solution has been very user-friendly."

"BotFarm by Automation Anywhere is great for building bots."

"The solution is very manageable."

"The scalability is the solution's most valuable aspect."

"The best aspect is the UI, as it is very user-friendly."

"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."

"Their development interface is very easy to navigate."

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"

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

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

"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."

"Good email automation and XL automation."

"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."

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

"EdgeVerve AssistEdge RPA is more affordable than UiPath."

Cons

"They often provide good solutions, but sometimes they are unable to resolve issues, requiring users to find solutions independently, which can be time-consuming."

"The OCR can be a little better because sometimes while scrapping, it leads to data loss."

"We'd like to see more AI features."

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

"It takes a lot of time to deploy, and sometimes it fails after a timeout."

"Regarding the UI, once you're on some of the screens there are fixed dialogues, they are a set size, so there's a lot of horizontal scrolls and vertical scrolls. If I want to do something that is purely business-related and is somewhat complex to write or is nuanced, I sometimes have trouble implementing that inside of the Automation Anywhere script."

"From an IT perspective, we had too many issues and headaches."

"The implementation process is complex, as there is integration with other applications."

More Automation Anywhere cons

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

"The only challenge that we have faced with BotFarm is that there is no continuous deployment. The whole world is moving to the DevOps model, but BotFarm is still not on the DevOps model. It should have integration with the DevOps model. The migration of the bots or bots pipeline is currently purely manual."

"The licensing schemes could be more competitive. They need to be much more flexible in their pricing."

"Its UI could be made better. It should also be more flexible."

"I would like to have access to self-service support."

"Sometimes I feel like it doesn't work properly and we are not able to provide the dexterity needed."

"The solution doesn't have support like they used to. They need support. We have personnel of our own, but sometimes we need assistance beyond our own team."

"The dashboard needs improvement. For Bot Farm, the visualization is not that good compared to the main Automation Anywhere dashboard."

More BotFarm cons

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

"Lacks integration with third party tools."

"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."

"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."

"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."

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

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The solution is quite expensive. Not every organization can consider this option."

"Pricing is a bit high when compared to other available tools; however, the tool is worth the cost."

"Our pricing a year ago was $600 per license."

"More than 40 to 50 percent of the IT budget will be for the cost of automation projects in the coming years since these projects enhance operations add value."

"I advise others that even as of right now, the setup cost and licensing cost to automate bots on Automation Anywhere is steep but it is worth the investment!"

"It's an ideal pricing model to customize the components based on everyone's needs."

"I am not responsible for the pricing part, but I know the pricing is competitive compared to other tools."

"They give us a good deal on the licensing because we bundle and customize things. If you ask to get a bulk business deal, you will receive more benefit. If you take other products from the suite, like IQ Bot, you can also receive a deal on the licensing."

More Automation Anywhere pricing and cost advice

"The solution prices are expensive. It would be more beneficial for customers to lower the pricing."

"The pricing is fair."

"We are on an annual license for the solution and is priced well."

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

"Automation Anywhere is more reasonable than Blue Prism and UiPath in terms of cost."

"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."

"The starter price is free."

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

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