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

"We simply train the Bot by uploading sample files, and it then begins classifying, processing, and extracting the data within a short span of time."
"The ease of use of the application is very smooth for us, and coming from a finance and business background, I did not have any challenges using the application."
"Automation Anywhere has transformed the financial, healthcare, and automobile sectors to a great extent by automating backend office work."
"By using this, we are saving time and we no need to do routine work, as it is now automated and the result is shared with all of the end-users."
"Of the bots which work, they have automated three of the most time consuming tasks and completely freed up one person to do real work."
"I like all of the features, especially the MetaBot, REST API, and SAP DLL."
"The cloud implementation is easy, you do not have to install anything, and when we use it in the Automation Anywhere Cloud, it becomes even easier."
"It helped agents process tickets with minimal errors and improved average handling time as they are able to close the tickets faster."
"Now, we have standardized responses, and our customers are getting better, error-free, and on-time responses."
"The system is stable and very little maintenance is required, assuming the bots process is perfectly designed."
"The ability to drag and drop various components and the customizability are good features."
"The solution reduces manual data errors and improves data accuracy"
"The most valuable features are PDF extraction and emailing."
"The most valuable feature is the interface, which helps to provide a good user experience."
"Automation Anywhere is a very good solution if you're looking to expand all your work areas."
"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 deployment of NICE Robotic Automation is easy."
"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."
"It is easy to deploy because the installation packages are very simple and it doesn't require any maintenance."
"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."
"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."
"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."
"Robotic Automation has saved us time and money by moving our processes away from manual work."
 

Cons

"There are occasional technical issues, particularly with cloud operations. Sometimes, the bot struggles to initiate on the cloud, even when everything appears in place."
"I would like to have the MetaBot screen name title dynamic instead of static."
"Compared to other RPA tools, the UI of Automation Anywhere is not that great and is not that easy to pick up for people, which takes more time for a newbie."
"The setup and deployment processes for this product also need to be improved, e.g. made easier."
"Automation Anywhere could improve by incorporating better integration with DevOps."
"It is not always predictable 100% of the time. While it has improved with each version, some unexplained issues still exist."
"We're in a digital world where everything's evolving. AI is coming out, so just looking at keeping moving, introducing new innovations into the product, nothing specific. The Automation Anywhere teams seem to know what the customers want."
"If we are going through the high availability in the IQ Bot setup, it's a bit complex."
"I would definitely be wanting to see OCR features for improving the solution."
"The only challenge that we have faced with BotFarm is that there is no continuous deployment."
"The community forums can be improved a little bit because they have mixed solutions or discussions with respect to some ideas."
"The new version is not very stable. Sometimes I can't use the recording sound."
"I would like to be able to access BotForm using a mobile app."
"Its UI could be made better. It should also be more flexible."
"I have called customer service three times and the experience has not been good. They do not offer 24/7 support, which forces us to wait till the next working day to solve a problem."
"The deployment could be simplified."
"The solution is not as intuitive as it could be and the integration took a lot of time."
"[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."
"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..."
"There are a few areas for improvement in the installation phase"
"Its connectivity with other applications should be improved. In the version that I was using, it would just stop interacting with the other application."
"Its connectivity with other applications should be improved. In the version that I was using, it would just stop interacting with the other application. Its graphical interface should also be improved. It should have a user-friendly interface. Sometimes, people find it very difficult to understand. One of the obstacles that I faced while programming was that if I needed any kind of help, there wasn't much content on the internet. It can be very difficult to find a solution for a particular issue."
"There is a need for NICE robotics to be more user-friendly."
"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."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"UiPath is exceptionally more expensive than Automation Anywhere. UiPath is far ahead of its competition, but in terms of finances, Automation Anywhere offers better value and is more effective for organizations seeking cost-effective solutions."
"Time and monetary savings can range from 20 to 90 percent."
"It saves me around $100,000 a year."
"Whatever investment, licensing, and resource costs together are put in for development and delivery, we are still at an ROI of 250 percent."
"We have reduced our headcount, approximately 200 to 300 employees, by eliminating manual, repetitive work. It provides profit to the business."
"The cost of Automation Anywhere is high in Turkey due to the weak economy."
"I have heard that Automation Anywhere is expensive."
"Automation Anywhere is competitive... Pega is somewhat comparable, but Pega also requires a lot more infrastructure and a lot more experience to get up and running."
"The licensing is on a monthly basis."
"Automation Anywhere is more reasonable than Blue Prism and UiPath in terms of cost."
"The pricing model could be simplified."
"The product is slightly expensive"
"I am very happy with the pricing."
"I think payment can vary but it's a re-occurring fee that needs to be paid every 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."
"There is a license for this solution and it is on an annual basis. I am satisfied with the price."
"As per my understanding, UiPath has a much lesser cost than NICE, but I am not sure."
