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.
Harish G V - PeerSpot reviewer
Senior RPA Developer at a tech vendor with 1,001-5,000 employees
Quicker compared to other bots but not very user-friendly
There is a need for NICE to be more user-friendly. It should be designed in such a way that any developer can easily develop bots. For instance, Power Automate provides a good example of a user-friendly design that NICE can learn from. Moreover, in terms of documentation, there is very little available for NICE, making it challenging to implement the bots. So, documentation should be improved as well. There are a lot of additional features that could be included in NICE. As the NICE Robotic Automation claims, it is a low-code solution, but that is not entirely true. They need to concentrate on the prerequisites and building blocks. There should be more options available internally that are easy to use and well-developed.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The initial deployment is not difficult at all for someone doing it for the first time."
"The built-in features, such as the connector builder and AI development tools, are easily accessible, keeping the software up-to-date."
"It can be easily learned by anyone who spends a bit of time with it."
"Automation Anywhere provides the best feature to make a software bot for processes."
"We have had a very good experience with Automation Anywhere and we are very happy with the solutions."
"The best feature is the drag-and-drop command. Users with less coding knowledge can also automate their end-to-end processes very easily."
"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."
"Having no restriction for any single programming language is very useful."
"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."
"Technical support is really good; when we have had issues, they have been able to help us and gave us several solutions based on the challenges that we were facing."
"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."
"The main features of the solution are the IQ Bot and web-based automation."
"The solution reduces manual data errors and improves data accuracy"
"The ability to drag and drop various components and the customizability are good features."
"The solution is easy to use and easy to apply."
"Automation Anywhere provides and facilitates cloud service, which means you can access your license from anywhere, easily executing and developing your bots from anywhere in the world."
"In terms of scaling and increasing the impact of automation, our center of excellence has been around for 11 months now, our target for the year was a saving of £2 million and we've just hit £2.4 million, which has given us just over a two-to-one return on investment and, by using that feature-based build that I mentioned earlier, where we take those component parts for login and logout or copy and paste from this spreadsheet to that one, we are forecasting a five-to-one return on investment within the next 24 months."
"Through interfaces called Callout (created with HTML code) it is possible to create a strong interactivity with the user. These interfaces can be extremely dynamic in relation to the behavior of a local or remote robotic flow."
"Provides good automation features."
"Robotic Automation has saved us time and money by moving our processes away from manual work."
"It is easy to deploy. To do the automation in NICE, you really need to use your programming expertise. There are no inbuilt features in it, and you have to create all the required features, which can be very interesting for a programmer."
"What we've done with the RTI client is that we've brought it into a bit more of a 21st-century feel. Our agents have the ability to move around when they want, click into stuff. They use it according to how their conversations go with the customer."
"It is a kind of desktop automation; its licensing model is a little bit different, and it tends to be individual automation specific to a role, and it excels at that."
"It is easy to deploy because the installation packages are very simple and it doesn't require any maintenance."
 

Cons

"We want it to work with more APIs. It needs to integrate with multiple APIs. That would be something that I would like going forward."
"Product support for our customers needs improvement. They should increase the support personnel."
"The availability of material in terms of more technical documentation could be improved, particularly in-depth information about how things can be done."
"I need high value products to be created, so I need integration with other solutions. Machine learning and AI need to be integrated with Automation Anywhere. While IQ Bot is a good beginning, our company does not work with manual paperwork since we are already digital. We would like to see more integration with cognitive tools going forward."
"Also, the Master certification should be provided free of cost for partners."
"In the last two years, with the help of IQ Bot, and what I learned today about this Attended Automation 2.0, I think they are addressing vital key challenges that we have faced so far."
"Support is not very satisfactory."
"One area where I can see room for improvement is the training material that is available."
"One aspect that can be improved is the accessibility of reusable components for developers. It relates to role-based access and accessibility."
"The licensing schemes could be more competitive. They need to be much more flexible in their pricing."
"The pricing of this product could be better."
"The OCR tool, the optical character recognition tool, could be more efficient."
"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."
"The stability needs to be improved."
"Although I like the OCR technology, it could still be further improved."
"Overall the support and customer support areas need to be improved."
"The one thing I'd like to see, and NICE is already heavily investing in it, is improvement in the user interface itself. They call it the Designer and it's what the developers use. It is a bit clunky; that is the polite way to put it. I'd like to see it be a bit more user-friendly, a bit more intuitive, and to move to something a bit more web-based..."
"It is a bit clunky; that is the polite way to put it."
"We haven't found it to be as powerful as some of the other platforms. From a true RPA perspective, it is pretty far behind some of the other solutions. It has emerged as a more desktop automation kind of tool, but it lacks a lot of enterprise features. It is not really a true RPA because of its licensing, which is kind of user-initiated. It would be nice it can be deployed at a more enterprise licensing model versus a user-based model. It didn't have autonomous automation so far, and they have just released this feature. They have kind of hodgepodged a bunch of products together to get there, but it is not as seamless as other solutions."
"There are a few areas for improvement in the installation phase"
"[During the upgrade] any issues, where it couldn't remotely connect to upgrade, I needed the floor plan so I could go to that PC and have a look at it. Often it was either that the PC was switched off or had a bug or some other application needed to be reset."
"Its connectivity with other applications should be improved. In the version that I was using, it would just stop interacting with the other application."
"We haven't found it to be as powerful as some of the other platforms. From a true RPA perspective, it is pretty far behind some of the other solutions."
"The solution is not as intuitive as it could be and the integration took a lot of time."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Price is where I'm least satisfied. Other vendors are more willing to offer discounts."
"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."
"It is not cheap, with costs ranging between 700 to 800 dollars per month. While Power Automate is cheaper at 15 dollars per month, Automation Anywhere offers superior features, user-friendliness, and smoothness."
"If it is saving FTE and Generating a good ROI then it is Worth Investing."
"The Community Edition is a good offering from the company."
"Automation Anywhere is expensive."
"The Automation Anywhere license is affordable and not complex."
"I think the pricing is reasonable, but clients often perceive it as expensive."
"An unattended bot license costs around $5,000, whereas an attended bot license costs roughly $1,500."
"We pay approximately $15,000 USD per year."
"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."
"Our licensing costs are approximately $3,000 USD annually."
"The licensing is on a monthly basis."
"I am very happy with the pricing."
"Automation Anywhere is more reasonable than Blue Prism and UiPath in terms of cost."
"Licenses are paid on a yearly basis and the cost is quite high."
"As per my understanding, UiPath has a much lesser cost than NICE, but I am not sure."
