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.

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.

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 Automation Anywhere University is a good tool. It goes topic-by-topic with real-time examples."
"I strongly believe that the UI which we have is a good advantage for Automation Anywhere, as it is easy to understand, so a person who is new to Automation Anywhere can easily understand and start their journey with it."
"In most of the use cases, both time and cost are being saved, which is the reason they are using these automations."
"I liked the Automation Anywhere University. It was easy and simple. I hoped that it wouldn't take too much of my time, and it didn't, which was good."
"Automation Anywhere is very easy to use; it's a low-code platform that a person who doesn't have any technical knowledge can use."
"It is a good tool and one of the market leaders."
"At the most granular level, automating people's daily tasks has been helpful by freeing them up to do higher value-add activities, which is definitely beneficial."
"The application replaced about three employees for the OFAC verification processes, thus eliminating the need to hire more people for those tasks."
"The solution is easy to use and easy to apply."
"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."
"Now, we have standardized responses, and our customers are getting better, error-free, and on-time responses."
"What I like most about BotFarm is that it's one of the leading RPA products in the market, and very few products focus on robotics today, so I like that BotFarm offers a lot in terms of what general customers expect it to do."
"There are not many challenges when setting up this solution, and there is a good amount of documentation to go with it."
"It is easy to use and very stable. It is a rugged product, and it doesn't break so easily."
"There is at least a five or ten times reduction in the amount of time, and more people are free to do something else."
"The most valuable feature is the interface, which helps to provide a good user experience."
"The tool follows a role-based working model to create things. It helps to track what others are doing with the system."
"EdgeVerve AssistEdge RPA is more affordable than UiPath."
"The features of EdgeVerve AssistEdge RPA that customers find most helpful include the easy understanding and good UI/UX."
"Good email automation and XL automation."
"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."
"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."
"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."
 

Cons

"In the debugging mode, it writes all the logs to text files, but it doesn't ever clean them up. We had one that got to 200K, and it bogged our whole machine down. We couldn't figure out what was going on until we found out that we had a 200K file sitting out there. We would like some sort of maintenance on the log files going forward."
"For people who don't have technical skills, Automation Anywhere may take time when it comes to browsing or loading time, and sometimes becomes very buggy with unwanted failures."
"When it comes to stability, complex bots always have issues."
"Room for improvement is more on the IQ Bot side: How quickly we can adopt and deploy it?"
"The OCR can be a little better because sometimes while scrapping, it leads to data loss."
"There is a lot of scope for improvement in terms of stability. It is a concern, because right now we are close to 20 to 25 percent false negatives that are coming up."
"We looked at the Bot Store initially and didn't find much."
"The help Automation Anywhere offers during setup isn't great for smaller companies like ours."
"Its UI could be made better. It should also be more flexible. Currently, it is more rigid, and a little more flexibility is required. Their technical support should also be better. We are not very happy with their technical support. Its price is also quite high as of now. They should improve its price. Its setup should also be made easier. It is quite complex to set it up. Even though we were able to set it up a little fast because we had done something similar earlier, but it has a very complex setup. It is extremely resource-hungry. If they can make it a little light on resources, that would also be useful."
"The community forums can be improved a little bit because they have mixed solutions or discussions with respect to some ideas."
"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."
"It should be easier to create an environment for bots to operate in. There should be more support for developing in environments such as Citrix and Linux."
"The deployment could be made a little bit easier."
"When somebody is just learning this product it can be difficult for them to understand, so improvements to the user interface would be helpful."
"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."
"From the holistic standpoint of the product offering, there are a lot of things that need to be done."
"The solution could be improved if it provided integration with third party tools like Python, native integration, which is very important."
"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."
"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."
"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."
"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."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"They all are very competitive today. At the end of the day, it boils down to the negotiations that happen and what type of partner you are."
"As far as costs, it depends on your use. We started with a basic department pack, which is over 10K. The additional costs depend on the scale of the engagement and how it pans out. We customize to our needs on the go."
"The licensing cost is approximately $4,000 USD, which is a seed license."
"There is an annual license to use the solution."
"We brought onshore a lot of what we were doing offshore, saving our company close to $20 million."
"It's cheaper than other similar solutions."
"The cost for scalability is much cheaper than developing a new system."
"We would like to use Citrix going forward. We use Bot Runners to scale up, and it gets to be expensive. Using Citrix, it can mitigate costs."
"The product is slightly expensive"
"We pay approximately $15,000 USD per year."
"The pricing model could be simplified."
"An unattended bot license costs around $5,000, whereas an attended bot license costs roughly $1,500."
"The solution prices are expensive. It would be more beneficial for customers to lower the pricing."
"The licensing is on a monthly basis."
"Automation Anywhere is more reasonable than Blue Prism and UiPath in terms of cost."
"I am very happy with the pricing."
"EdgeVerve AssistEdge RPA is cheaper compared to other RPA tools."
