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.

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.

Suitable for a small-scale business but not evolved enough for a large enterprise
The best thing with that Jacada is that they are a repository builder, which we use for our assessment to gauge and match screens. Jacada has evolved, but I'm not using the latest version. Technically we use our internal product more, which is iAutomate. We also use UiPath and Automation Anywhere…

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The error handling and troubleshooting are very good, and it is easy for a developer to know what happened in any particular line of code."
"With IQ Bot, we can now include cognitive automation into our process. The cognitive document processing is pretty good with IQ Bot."
"It really does have a great dashboard. It has Bot Insight, it has MetaBots, and IQ Bots. It has so many features where it can read a file and loop."
"We have an automation that we just put in production where we are doing a double-blind quality review, and the bot is comparing the two entries and kicking out a large number of exceptions for human review, so we have saved a large number of hours every day by not having humans look at things that match."
"We have saved time and money using this solution."
"The recorder feature for front end automation and email packages is the most valuable feature as it has more features and it makes the email server related tasks easier and more independent on the email client."
"The object cloning is its most valuable feature."
"I like all of the features, especially the MetaBot, REST API, and SAP DLL."
"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."
"As a company, if you feel that your ROI is pretty high and with Automation Anywhere you are able to achieve the desired ROI that you are looking for, then I would definitely say Automation Anywhere is a very good solution to adopt."
"The most valuable features I have found to be the screen scraping and the integration with third-party solutions."
"The solution seems to offer high stability. We haven't seen any bugs or glitches. It doesn't crash or freeze."
"It is easy to use and very stable. It is a rugged product, and it doesn't break so easily."
"The product has increased efficiency and reduced the time spent on tasks."
"The most valuable features of this solution are the Excel automation and support for SharePoint."
"The most valuable feature of BotFarm is the fact that we can use escalations when we need more computer power to fulfill all embargo that we receive in one day."
"The best thing with Jacada is that they are a repository builder, which we use for our assessment to gauge and match screens."
"The initial setup was fairly straightforward."
 

Cons

"New versions keep coming up. The challenge for us is to have the downtime to do the migrations. This could be improved upon. We would like fewer version changes and upgrades happening to the application. While the downtime is not that much, depending on the business processes, there are times few critical processes are running on a daily or hourly basis. We would expect the downtime to be even less for them."
"We would like a smoother process for moving bots and tasks between the different development environments, from development to testing to production. We find this to be pretty cumbersome to work through."
"It can be a challenge for a developer, as it limits what they can do."
"I have been using IQ Bot, and its accuracy can be improved. It could be more accurate."
"In the current organization, we had trouble initially because I think the documentation and support could be better than what it is now."
"Automation Anywhere could be improved by staying more current with Microsoft products through packages."
"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."
"The local support in Brazil could improve. While it has gotten better in the last few months, we've struggled as a global company trying to contact them sometimes."
"The deployment could be made a little bit easier."
"One aspect that can be improved is the accessibility of reusable components for developers. It relates to role-based access and accessibility."
"The machine learning needs to be improved so that they perform better in terms of predictive analysis and sentiment analysis."
"The only challenge that we have faced with BotFarm is that there is no continuous deployment."
"The solution automation is incapable of interacting with our Pega software application development. It is based on the nested table concept and it is unable to read these tables. Several projects have been put on hold because of that."
"The user experience could be made a little better with this solution. I find it difficult to find qualified people to be able to use the solution."
"The licensing schemes could be more competitive. They need to be much more flexible in their pricing."
"From the holistic standpoint of the product offering, there are a lot of things that need to be done."
"When we first started using Jacada, the technical support was not good at all; however, they were just getting started then."
"They need to create a workflow system."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"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."
"AA comes at a more affordable price than the other tools."
"We have established a CoE and we take our bot opportunities based on their ROIs. The best ROI opportunity goes to development first. Our ROI opportunities are compliance, profitable growth, productivity enhancements, productivity gains, number of hours the productivity saved, and resources not available that the work can be done by the bot. However, the single most important criteria that we use to measure ROI is how much time does the bot cut down from an analyst's work, as this has the best ROI. E.g., if an analyst is spending a 100 hours of work that a bot can do in one hour, we calculate the 99 hours saved as ROI."
"The cost can be reduced a little for users."
"Automation Anywhere has an advantage in terms of licensing. It is more cost-efficient compared to all other RPA platforms. It is a recommended solution when clients need a cost-efficient automation tool to perform unattended automation."
"Cost is the biggest area in need of improvement for Automation Anywhere. Annually it's $250,000. That's what deterred us right away."
"We paid separately for the Runner and Creater components. The final cost depends on the structure of your environment."
"The product’s pricing is reasonable."
"It is too expensive and not worth the price."
"An unattended bot license costs around $5,000, whereas an attended bot license costs roughly $1,500."
"I think payment can vary but it's a re-occurring fee that needs to be paid every year."
"The licensing is on a monthly basis."
"The pricing is fair."
"Automation Anywhere is more reasonable than Blue Prism and UiPath in terms of cost."
"The starter price is free."
"Our licensing costs are approximately $3,000 USD annually."
