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.

Regional Director at a tech vendor with 10,001+ employees

Has raised concerns due to outdated framework and high ownership costs

Pega Robotic Process Automation is a temporary solution to a bigger issue, and the cost of implementation especially with Pega really stops customers from proceeding. The total cost of ownership could be improved. From a technical perspective, the product performs adequately. The installation can be quite complex as it's not standalone, and customers need to get the whole Pega platform up and running. The total cost of ownership is not very attractive. RPA as a concept is outdated now, with agentic AI becoming more prominent. We don't see much interest from customers in going down the RPA route; Pega Robotic Process Automation is losing its prominence in the market.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The ability to customize added automation to a lot of situations where human judgment and interpretation are not required."

"I think most of the keystroke level activities that users used to do in probably the last five years is now taken care completely by Automation Anywhere and similar RPA providers."

"It is easier to learn, implement, and get things done with Automation Anywhere compared to other tools on market right now."

"The core functionality, the ability to automate these tasks and to interact, both with our own in-house software solutions as well as with our customers' and vendors' solutions and portals, has been incredibly valuable for us."

"The solution's primary benefit is improved efficiency. Automation Anywhere enabled us to enhance many processes that were previously done manually. It helps save time while improving compliance by keeping the data clean. We've also increased visibility for our end-users because we use the data from Automation Anywhere to build dashboards."

"The ease of use is its key novel feature, as I have actually trained people in finance who have not written a piece of code in their lives and they are able to pick it up."

"it helps to save time when doing processes. E.g., when you do a manual process for eight hours, that time is saved because the bot will do that task for you. The process owners will be able to do the analysis part. The repetitive/manual part will be done by the robot."

"The Control Room is the most valuable feature. This is where I can schedule a task. It runs 24/7, so it's a great feature that I love. If we are not in office, we can schedule something and leave, then the bot will run at the scheduled time."

More Automation Anywhere pros

"The ability to drag and drop various components and the customizability are good features."

"There is at least a five or ten times reduction in the amount of time, and more people are free to do something else."

"Now, we have standardized responses, and our customers are getting better, error-free, and on-time responses."

"One of the advantages of Automation Anywhere is that the Bot Insight feature is built-in."

"The record option and the OCR technology have been great."

"We have automized the day-to-day work of their order management system."

"The solution has been very user-friendly."

"One of the most valuable features is the solution's simple automation regarding object cloning and strings variables."

More BotFarm pros

"The most valuable feature of Pega Robotic Process Automation is the technique: you can create a user interface that can interact with a human being for attended robots."

"The low-code/no-code development aspect of the solution is great."

"It is really flexible in what it can do."

"Its stability has been good."

"Pega is very mature. It's very old. They have grown with time, and they have learned. Other robotic process automation solutions are basically focused on only doing the automation, whereas Pega also gives you a workflow system so that you can create a workflow."

"Pega Robotic Process Automation makes it easy with metrics, robots save time, and handling customer calls became much easier."

"They are leaders in the same industry."

"The most valuable features are the loops to lookup tables to read the data."

More Pega Robotic Process Automation pros

Cons

"Sometimes the tool is timing out, which would be a good thing to have resolved."

"Currently, while working on the SAP part, I encounter some challenges, particularly not being able to extract the tree structure."

"I struggled with understanding the use of different variables during my initial time with Automation Anywhere."

"An option should be provided to disable the flow and dual-mode since those are not used often by the developers, and hence take up extra space on the screen."

"There is limited scope for complex decision-making. For instance, a bot can extract invoice details, but it cannot determine if an invoice is fraudulent without AI integration."

"Having better documentation that is more openly available would help. Often, it feels necessary to contact someone or search for documentation that is stored behind a login or in another location. It would be beneficial to have one centralized place for everything."

"The optical character recognition of various documents and templates, particularly when using the Arabic language, has room for improvement."

"Automation with bots runs fine only if it is an attended bot. With unattended bots, the bots run only 25 to 30 percent of the time."

More Automation Anywhere cons

"We have connectivity and integration with pretty much every single tech stack across the table that we have in the world, and there are a few areas that they don't do that well yet. I'd be looking for some improvement there, in terms of their integration with certain products."

"The stability needs to be improved."

"The deployment could be made a little bit easier."

"IQ Bot, used by BotFarm, needs to be improved with respect to being able to read handwritten documents using the OCR."

"An area for improvement in BotFarm is that the communication between the Control Room and the Bot Client Missions isn't utilized well."

"It would be ideal if the solution offered more language options, such as Arabic."

"We do have some troubles with the internal software commands, but we have been troubleshooting this bug to fix it."

"I would like to be able to access BotForm using a mobile app."

More BotFarm cons

"I feel like it doesn't get updated frequently enough. There aren't a lot of new features or a clear roadmap for future improvements."

"The OCR capabilities of the solution could be improved."

"Pega has a no-code low-code environment. We do everything based on established rules. You kind-of have to learn how all their rules work and how it works for robotics before you can use the solution effectively."

"I would like to see an enhanced auditing feature included."

"The handwritten structured and semi-structured data recognition accuracy is much lower and is an area that definitely needs to improve."

"They have tied the deployment with the Pega BPM product, the robot manager. You need to have the BPM installed."

"Rule versioning and deployment to enable parallel development could still be improved"

"What I don't like that much in Pega Robotic Process Automation is its monitoring tool because that tool is tightly connected with the platform."

More Pega Robotic Process Automation cons

Pricing and Cost Advice

"We have purchased licenses, but are trying to obtain more bot programmer licenses."

"I do not know the price, but I am told that it is cheaper than UiPath."

"There may be room for the product to be more competitively priced to excel in the market."

"It is expensive. I would rate Automation Anywhere an eight out of ten in terms of pricing."

"While calculating the setup cost you should account for the server, virtual machines, product licenses, maintenance costs, and running costs."

"They recently launched a Community Edition, which is okay, but they should have done this a long time ago."

"It's fine. However, I'm concerned with the credits in terms of the pricing for the AI models. It is understandable that the new ones are more expensive, but the base models, after doing the pricing conversion, cost about four to ten times as much as paying directly."

"We only deal in annual licenses. There are no pay-as-you-go licenses."

More Automation Anywhere pricing and cost advice

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

"The product is slightly expensive"

"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."

"Pricing for this solution can be better."

"The pricing model could be simplified."

"We pay approximately $15,000 USD per year."

"The pricing is fair."

"I think payment can vary but it's a re-occurring fee that needs to be paid every year."

More BotFarm pricing and cost advice

"Pega is as competitive as the basic players such as UiPath or Automation Anywhere. UiPath is the most expensive, but Pega is at par with Automation Anywhere."

"The licensing cost is too high."

"I would rate the product's pricing a nine out of ten."

"In terms of Pega Robotic Process Automation pricing, I would rate it a five out of five because the solution has a good price. Pricing is not very high, though I'm unsure of the exact cost, based on my experience, the price for Pega Robotic Process Automation is less than Blue Prism because I worked with a few clients that have both solutions and my clients prefer Pega Robotic Process Automation over Blue Prism particularly because of the licensing costs."

"Pega Robotic Process Automation is an expensive solution."

"Pega is pretty costly."

"I was not involved in licensing and pricing, but it is worth the cost."
