Nadeem K.

Rpa Developer at a consultancy with 11-50 employees

Automation has freed teams from repetitive finance and supply tasks and supports global operations

In the current organization, we had trouble initially because I think the documentation and support could be better than what it is now. This is one difference between Automation Anywhere and other RPA tools such as UiPath. In UiPath, if you have an issue, you go to the UiPath website and search for it, and you get lots of help materials. In Automation Anywhere, you do not get exactly what you are looking for. You get a very large number of results when you search for something, and from this large result set, you have to filter out what you need, or only partial information will be available. User handbooks are available for each product. In that regard, I would say Automation Anywhere is lagging compared to other RPA tools. It is difficult to get hold of their customer support team. I want to clarify that it is not a matter of us building logic on Automation Anywhere and it failing. When it is a product-related issue, they have to give us support because we only know how to develop within Automation Anywhere. We do not know how to fix Automation Anywhere itself. Whenever we have an issue, trying to get in touch with them always takes three to four business days.

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.

RPA Technical Solution Lead at Infomentum

Helps automate processes but needs to offer different licensing models to users

Right now, I am not working on process mining at the minute. Before I switched to the company, I worked extremely closely with the process mining tool from UiPath, SAP BTP, and the process mining that they had created. I am working with MuleSoft Automation and Anypoint. We are not doing any sort of process mining at the minute, but in my company, because MuleSoft is one of the only RPA tools that we are looking at, we have another application called Appian that we are trying to explore now. Appian has process mining capability, which is why we thought we would look at it along with AI capabilities.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"Web-based control is the most valuable feature. We can access it from anywhere in the world with the control room URL and in any browser. Bot Insights make our report generation and other insights view easier. We can export the data in the form of CSV, PDF, etc."

"The AI collaboration is the most impressive feature of Automation Anywhere."

"Comparing to other products in the market, we are getting all the features in hundred percent quality with what the objective needs to be met by other products, and that is also delivered in Automation Anywhere."

"AA helped our clients to achieve their goals faster and more efficiently, also reaching ROI very quickly."

"Implementation of Automation Anywhere (AA) allows us to automate business processes and has brought productivity gains, error reduction, and speed of execution in multiple HR and Finance operations."

"We have had a massive return on full-time employee resources that we have saved by just using Automation Anywhere."

"For most of the cases that we have worked on, the application has been stable."

"My experience with the deployment of the solution is positive; it's fast, and we have not encountered any problems related to that."

More Automation Anywhere pros

"I use it in my client project to extract data and communicate it for business purposes."

"The main features of the solution are the IQ Bot and web-based automation."

"The most valuable features of this solution are the Excel automation and support for SharePoint."

"The solution has very good processes. It's very easy to deploy and has good reviews on it. It offers good automation and the solution has very good developers working on it."

"Overall, this is a pretty good product and nobody else in the market is providing RPA at this level."

"The scalability is the solution's most valuable aspect."

"The most valuable feature is the interface, which helps to provide a good user experience."

"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."

More BotFarm pros

"Contextor is a good solution for a Citrix environment."

"The standout features of SAP Intelligent RPA are its flexibility and integration capabilities."

"SAP Contextor has improved our organization by giving us better operational efficiency."

"Most of the details are already in the help portal and SAP notes are available. It is well documented as part of the product support."

"Scalability is fine. It is pretty nice."

"Contextor is a good solution for a Citrix environment. It's the first with this tool. Other tools provide the same functionality, but not with the Citrix environment."

"The initial setup of SAP Contextor is easy."

"It is remarkably easy to configure and code, and it doesn't require an extensive technical background or coding expertise."

More SAP Intelligent RPA pros

Cons

"Attended automation sometimes might go into exceptions, thus we need to monitor it in-between, then check whether it is working properly. This way, we ensure the bot is working properly."

"Scalability has been a pain point; the scalability is there, but there are ongoing operational issues with it."

"I am looking for artificial intelligence and machine learning. I hope that they introduce them in A2019."

"Currently, Automation Anywhere's debugging functionality is minimal."

"In the 10.7 version, the back-end port for the MetaBot password has looping. This has been a type of limitation."

"I am currently on 11.3.4.2 and the analytics feature of AA, Bot Insights, needs improvement. It is not easy to implement. It is not intuitive for the developer as you have to mark variables for analytics."

"Another feature that would be cool to see in Automation Anywhere is more use of artificial intelligence. Right now, RPA is basically limited to a bot which is simply following the instructions that it was given. However, what would be really useful is if a bot was able to more flexibly respond to issues. For example, sometimes there are erroneous errors and pop ups. With good code, you can certainly build your bots to be able to handle that. However, it does take time and a bit of technical know-how to be able to do that."

"I would like to have a bot as a service platform on AA Cloud. This would minimize the installation process, and we wouldn't need to have all the hardware to support the platform in-house."

More Automation Anywhere cons

"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 solution can improve the accuracy of hand-written data reading"

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

"The machine learning needs to be improved so that they perform better in terms of predictive analysis and sentiment analysis."

"The discovery suite that they just acquired could be included."

"I would like to see more process mining features to give us insight into them before we develop automation."

"Although I like the OCR technology, it could still be further improved."

"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."

More BotFarm cons

"The support is expensive."

"SAP Contextor could improve by automating some processes."

"There should be more of an error, like a proper error feature, in future releases. Sometimes, we don't understand why that automation is not learning what, like, where it is stuck, or what is the reason like, or what is the criteria we are missing to add. So a proper error message would be helpful."

"The initial setup is of medium complexity. It is neither too hard nor too simple. You need some background in SAP and an understanding of it."

"One way SAP Intelligent RPA could improve is by integrating built-in DI services for document processing."

"I found that the SAP scripting of a program is easier than SAP Contextor."

"I would like to see a better capacity for unstructured data, for example, PDF, or text within images."

"For potential features or improvements, one aspect I would suggest enhancing is the flexibility of the extraction process."

More SAP Intelligent RPA cons

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The control room access gives the ability to create different roles, which helps when purchasing additional licensing."

"The pricing of AA is similar to UiPath."

"We have a few licenses. They cost roughly $10,000 each."

"This is a value for the money product."

"We are currently negotiating a contract. Depending upon that, we will definitely look at increasing usage."

"Automation Anywhere's pricing is significantly higher than other RPA solutions."

"I feel the cost of licensing is very high for the A2019 version."

"Our annual licensing costs are around $100,000 a year."

More Automation Anywhere pricing and cost advice

"The pricing is fair."

"The pricing model could be simplified."

"We are on an annual license for the solution and is priced well."

"The licensing is on a monthly basis."

"The product is slightly expensive"

"Licenses are paid on a yearly basis and the cost is quite high."

"Automation Anywhere is more reasonable than Blue Prism and UiPath in terms of cost."

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

More BotFarm pricing and cost advice

"The pricing is not that expensive. It is manageable."

"The initial cost might seem higher, but over time, with continued use over five or ten years, the cost tends to decrease, making it a more economical choice."

"It all comes with a bundle right now. Having advanced features, it is competitively priced."

"This is not a tool or software with a license as others are. The SaaS model is based on the usage of the tool."
