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.

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.

Automates browsing tasks without needing a server connection

I have worked with Microsoft Power Platform and UiPath. Kofax RPA offers a comprehensive solution with built-in capabilities for executing tasks like running Excel files and web automation without additional servers. They provide their browsers and extensions. For functions such as OCR, image processing, and data extraction, Kofax has built-in features powered by their engine, eliminating the need for subscriptions to external technologies like Microsoft Cognitive Services or Google Search. One of Kofax RPA's strongest features is its on-premise solution, which is particularly beneficial for organizations operating in regions with data regulations, such as the UAE.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"Our workforce has limited capacity, and by adding this solution we can increase the amount of work coming in without adding to our workforce."

"Some processes that have taken 24 hours for our guys to do, now take seven to eight hours for our bots."

"The most valuable feature of the product is the flexibility, as there are so many features that you can use to develop, and it can hit a lot of use cases."

"I find the terminal emulator feature very valuable, particularly in how it interacts with IBM mainframe automation."

"Its ease of use is the most valuable feature. It is easy to train developers and find the right people, then use them to build the tool."

"So far, we have seen that a valuable feature of Automation Anywhere is the ease of integrating it with multiple systems. It can very easily integrate with an environment of an organization. It helps in a quick go to access and implementation. You don't have to spend days implementing Automation Anywhere software. You can quickly go drag and drop and do an ease of configuration. You can actually get your bot up and running very fast, which is one important advantage."

"Our ROI has ranged from thousands to hundreds of thousands, depending on the type of process being automated."

"This boosts the customer confidence and experience. When the customer experience increases, obviously sales will increase."

More Automation Anywhere pros

"Overall, we've been happy with the solution."

"The most important feature of BotFarm is web automation."

"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."

"Automation Anywhere is a very good solution if you're looking to expand all your work areas."

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

"The initial setup is pretty straightforward."

"The solution is great to automate any repetitive tasks, which you might do on a daily basis."

"Automation Anywhere has good document extraction features where it can learn patterns."

More BotFarm pros

"The product provided all the security controls that we asked them."

"The pricing of the solution is quite good."

"The end user only has to click once to preserve the entire email conversation."

"The product saves time and resources."

"Initially, the most effective features for process automation were website automation related to web auditing, SharePoint implementations, and automated management of information."

"The most valuable feature of Kofax RPA is the simplicity of automating tasks."

"The drag and drop functionality is quite good."

"I would definitely recommend this solution."

More Tungsten RPA pros

Cons

"Extracting customer addresses from Google that are not in a standard URL format is a challenge for Automation Anywhere."

"My experience has been that if the person who codes the bot is not very well-trained, then they might create unstable bots."

"There are a few features that we would love to have: running on the cloud, running on Linux, out of the box integration availability with larger ecosystems like Salesforce, Workday, or Microsoft."

"They have done a fairly good job on the RPA space, but more and more, the whole cognitive AI space and machine learning are where I see the industry actually going. I'm sure Automation Anywhere is also focused on that topic, but we would like to see more coming down the pipe, as early as possible."

"Its licensing can become too expensive for a small startup company."

"We also got a tool from Automation Anywhere that was supposed to fix or patch a problem, but it didn't work. It was a horrible, pathetic product that they brought out when it wasn't ready."

"Since Automation Anywhere's Japan office was only recently opened, it seems the support has not been as good as support for other package applications."

"Some of the machine learning (ML) components are still in development. They deployed many of them, but they are doing some improvements on the machine learning part."

More Automation Anywhere cons

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

"The solution is a bit higher on the pricing side."

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

"The licensing schemes could be more competitive. They need to be much more flexible in their pricing."

"Its UI could be made better. It should also be more flexible."

"One aspect that can be improved is the accessibility of reusable components for developers. It relates to role-based access and accessibility."

"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 only challenge that we have faced with BotFarm is that there is no continuous deployment."

More BotFarm cons

"Kofax needs to create a community where developers have the opportunity to donate to it. The education surrounding this solution should be better."

"Unless it's necessary to interact with or extract information from complex documents, I would recommend choosing a different solution than Kofax RPA."

"The interface could be better from a usability standpoint."

"Concatenation of error messages."

"The product could be improved if they would use AI integrated robots."

"Automation with the latest websites is not effective. The support of newer websites developed using new technologies would improve this solution."

"The solution could use some AI integrated features."

"There is really nothing special about the capabilities of this product."

More Tungsten RPA cons

Pricing and Cost Advice

"I believe it is $10,000 for Bot Creator."

"I have heard that Automation Anywhere is expensive."

"The setup and licensing cost is affordable, and it is not exaggerated like UiPath."

"My understanding is that the license cost of Automation Anywhere is more reasonable than UiPath and Blue Prism."

"If you look at the capital expenditure, Automation Anywhere is number two to UiPath. But if you take a long-term view, on a scalable model of a large number of bots coming out, it slowly goes on to become the costliest tool. There is something they can do about that. The capital expenditure goes out right at the point of buying the tool. For Automation Anywhere, I would need to spend $20,000. UiPath can give me something for $6,000, while Blue Prism will come in at $300,000."

"Based on what I've heard, it's costly, but I don't know much about its pricing."

"The Automation Anywhere license is affordable and not complex."

"Time and monetary savings can range from 20 to 90 percent."

More Automation Anywhere pricing and cost advice

"Pricing for this solution can be better."

"The licensing is on a monthly basis."

"The starter price is free."

"The product is slightly expensive"

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

"The pricing is fair."

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

"The license of this solution is on an annual basis. The price is fair. However, what we did initially was a POC, but now we are looking at moving from a POC to expanding it out further. I would appreciate some kind of discount."

More BotFarm pricing and cost advice

"Its pricing is reasonable given the product capabilities. Kofax has a wide range of products, and it can sometimes be confusing to understand which capabilities come with which product set. One of the key facets that we've been looking into recently is cognitive document recognition that was a core pile of some of their other technologies such as Kofax transformation modules (KTM)."

"The solution’s license is not expensive."

"Kofax RPA's licensing costs are yearly and expensive."

"Price is not a problem, because they are a competitor and we have a special rate."

"The pricing model for automation solutions like Automation Anywhere, UiPath, and Microsoft Power Platform is subscription-based, where costs are calculated based on factors such as the number of hours used and the scale of automation required.......With Kofax, you purchase a license upfront, and that's all you need. You can create as many automation workflows as you require without additional costs for individual use cases."

"There is a standard license needed to use Kofax RPA and the price is reasonable."

"Kofax RPA is moderately priced but expensive in comparison to UiPath and Power Automate."

"The normal price for an on-premises license is €50,000. That's the price for one robot license. You can have more than one robot license but only one can be run at any one time. I believe the cost of adding a second robot is around €14,000."
