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.

Senior Business Process Automation Engineer at a manufacturing company with 10,001+ employees
Automation has transformed document processing and frees teams to focus on higher‑value analysis
Sometimes, we encounter system errors that could be resolved via support, but connection issues are more frequent in enterprise applications. However, these can usually be solved by raising tickets if you are part of an enterprise, though we are not, which makes it somewhat challenging. It is vital to ensure the connections of UiPath Platform are maintained because it has a larger community. If UiPath Platform website included more features and documentation accessible easily, it would greatly enhance the experience. Instead of continually needing to raise support tickets, having a documentation hub where details can just be entered to retrieve required documents would be extremely beneficial.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"This solution has gives us greater employee satisfaction because manual recurring work has been reduced."
"Before Automation Anywhere, the insurance companies used to transfer data manually from one app to another, but after introducing them to automation the speed and accuracy have been outstanding."
"It has been able to save us time in our processes from hours to minutes."
"The overall UI of the tool is so user-friendly that even a beginner can use it easily."
"The integration is helpful. We have quite a few use cases where we've integrated with Microsoft tools and local record systems, such as SAP and Vertex AI."
"Excel automation is one of the best features in Automation Anywhere. If we have to work with multiple excel sheets with lots of rows and columns, it gets really difficult to keep track of this is done manually. But Automation Anywhere makes it really simple and error-free."
"Our business has seen a good return on investment with Automation Anywhere, and they are so pleased that they are requesting to add more processes."
"Now, we can have the bot check all of them."
"The system is stable and very little maintenance is required, assuming the bots process is perfectly designed."
"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."
"The most valuable feature is the rapid deployment of multiple bots."
"One of the advantages of Automation Anywhere is that the Bot Insight feature is built-in."
"One of the most valuable features is the solution's simple automation regarding object cloning and strings variables."
"The most valuable feature of BotFarm is the fact that we can use escalations when we need more computer power to fulfill all embargo that we receive in one day."
"Now, we have standardized responses, and our customers are getting better, error-free, and on-time responses."
"Their development interface is very easy to navigate."
"The Orchestrator is quite good because it is a one-stop shop where you can run robots after creating them using Studio. You can create queues, monitor the bots, and if there are any issues then you can debug them at the Orchestrator level."
"UiPath created many opportunities for our company to provide automation solutions for customers due to its powerful set of activities and features."
"UiPath Platform has positively impacted our organization by automating a significant number of workflows, which reduces manual efforts and allows employees to focus on higher-value creation activities."
"Our client saw ROI after one month."
"The initial UiPath setup is straightforward."
"The solution is very scalable."
"Implementing AI in our automation has significantly enhanced the accuracy of our operations."
"UI automation is helpful for interacting with legacy systems, mainframe systems, and various web applications. Someone might use all those things during their jobs, and many of them don't necessarily have APIs, either."
 

Cons

"I would like it to have AI and ML capabilities."
"Automation Anywhere is unable to connect to the database directly. What we are doing now is directly writing the PL/SQL scripts and trying to push the data from the database into Automation Anywhere. This feature is available in UiPath, but not in Automation Anywhere."
"Excel functionalities, the macro interface can be improved in the next release of RPA platform Automation Anywhere."
"IQ Bot is useful but the price is not friendly."
"The AISense recorder in Automation Anywhere needs improvement in resilience and OCR capabilities, particularly in comparison to UiPath's superior OCR functionality."
"Several competing products now offer superior functionality compared to Automation Anywhere's current capabilities."
"The support and user community need improvement. For example, it would be nice to have a place for those who create bots to have a place to share information and success stories."
"From an ease of use point of view, on a scale of one to ten with ten being really easy, I would rate the tool a six."
"It would be ideal if the solution offered more language options, such as Arabic."
"IQ Bot, used by BotFarm, needs to be improved with respect to being able to read handwritten documents using the OCR."
"The OCR command needs to improve. This feature is used to convert the extracted data from an image file. While converting this file I was facing a lot of issues with the data because it was getting lost and some of the data which was extracted was mismatched. The data loss was rated as a nine and the data accuracy was a massive decrease and was up to 80%."
"The new version is not very stable. Sometimes I can't use the recording sound."
"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 user experience could be made a little better with this solution. I find it difficult to find qualified people to be able to use the solution."
"I would definitely be wanting to see OCR features for improving the solution."
"I would like to see more process mining features to give us insight into them before we develop automation."
"It depends on your expectation. If people have expectations that API technology is very easy to implement, it's not 100% true."
"UiPath is an RPA solution, but I have never explored the AI part of it. I am unsure if it has an AI element or not. Merging RPA with AI and ChatGPT would be beneficial."
"If I had one thing that I would ask for more development in, it would be audit trail. We're a high-trust certified company, so we need to make sure that we have all that information."
"UiPath doesn't have a complex set of features for OS X systems."
"Insights is a little clumsy. StudioX is a great start but needs more functionality. They should bring the document understanding into StudioX and make it go a little bit further. There's a pretty clear point at which you really need to switch over to Studio, but in the case of some of our citizen developers, they'd like to stay in StudioX. They just need more features."
"Studio needs to be more user-friendly, maybe it could be integrated with an AI."
"It would help if there was functionality whereby you could upload something like a flow chart and the solution could process steps according to the flow chart."
"Development of any RPA solution using UiPath is very efficient and flexible, but at the same time, the testing is very difficult."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Considering the cost, it is a bit high, but worth the price because the output accuracy is high."
"I'm not sure what the monthly licensing cost is, as that is taken care of by another team, but I would say it's around $100,000."
"The solution's pricing is pretty decent."
"In most of the cases, the product value is very good. If the infrastructure, implementation, and framework are good, then generally, the client can get a good return on investment."
"Our annual licensing costs are around $100,000 a year."
"It is one of the most affordable RPA solutions, and as for licensing, they offer a community edition that greatly helps anyone who aspires to learn about the product before buying the enterprise solution."
"The major reason that we selected Automation Anywhere was the licensing model."
"While calculating the setup cost you should account for the server, virtual machines, product licenses, maintenance costs, and running costs."
"The solution prices are expensive. It would be more beneficial for customers to lower the pricing."
"We are on an annual license for the solution and is priced well."
"It is too expensive and not worth the price."
"I am very happy with the pricing."
"There is a license for this solution and it is on an annual basis. I am satisfied with the price."
"The pricing is fair."
"I think payment can vary but it's a re-occurring fee that needs to be paid every year."
"Licenses are paid on a yearly basis and the cost is quite high."
"The community edition is completely free. Then, people say, "There is nothing to lose, let me try it.""
"Our licensing is generally pretty good for our contract."
"The vendor gave us a 30-day money-back guarantee. We were fine with that. We saw improvement during that time and kept the solution."
"The tool's pricing depends on its use. It is expensive."
"We also had to pay for Bloomberg Automation in order to effectively utilize UiPath in our organization."
"UiPath's licensing could be cheaper and more dynamic. The licensing can sometimes feel high, especially for smaller companies, but generally, the pricing is reasonable when considering the time saved and corresponding costs."
"Our licensing fees are approximately $140,000 USD annually, which includes all of the bots, Orchestrator, and the Studio."
"It's costly compared to other tools in the market. Other than that, it is very good."
