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.

Intelligent Automation SME at a financial services firm with 10,001+ employees
Cloud platform orchestrates business processes with AI capabilities
I find the capabilities that a normal orchestrator should have to be valuable in WorkFusion. The WorkFusion 10 cloud-based platform is different from the earlier on-prem version, WorkFusion 9. The platform now includes auto machine learning and AI capabilities. We haven't used these extensively, but they are a nice feature they are working on. The platform remains stable with well-designed processes, despite being a complex and technical tool.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"Automation Anywhere has evolved significantly and upgraded itself to provide agentic AI and AI-based automation solutions for document automation, with modern features to train documents ensuring high accuracy and repeatability over time."
"The digital worker is interesting."
"Automated data processing is the most valuable feature of Automation Anywhere."
"It is easily understandable and very well structured."
"The scope of automation by using Automation Anywhere has become wonderful."
"WLM & Device Pool, where multiple devices perform the same thing parallel and complete the tasks at the same time. The credential manager for security is one of the most valuable features for storing credentials and providing security between the developer usage and future maintenance where passwords expire every 90 days."
"Using this solution has freed internal operations employees to do more "human value-add" work by removing mundane manual tasks."
"In one of the use cases, we used to have around 300 tickets per month which has been reduced to almost zero now."
"The solution has a lot of great features inside of it that clients can take advantage of."
"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."
"There are not many challenges when setting up this solution, and there is a good amount of documentation to go with it."
"There are not many challenges when setting up this solution, and there is a good amount of documentation to go with it."
"The most valuable feature is the interface, which helps to provide a good user experience."
"There is at least a five or ten times reduction in the amount of time, and more people are free to do something else."
"They recently released the newest version that has a good program flow, quality, and blueprints that are all good improvements to the automation, and they also have good integration with SAP."
"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."
"Recently, our recons team was audited, and when the auditing was done, the process done by the reconciliation bot was the only process that was passed by the auditor."
"In terms of stability, it's quite good."
"I would definitely recommend WorkFusion because I think over the last six months it has matured and it is stable."
"Their robots have increased the rate of efficiency by two to five times in our organization."
"WorkFusion has doubled our efficiency."
"For automating mundane activities, I can recommend WorkFusion."
"The automations that we built are massively important to us."
"WorkFusion helps us in automating our business processes, so it helps in many ways, including lowering the cost of delivery, reducing the cost of operations by employing fewer people, speeding up business processes, and improving employee morale, as people do not have to do repetitive work anymore."
 

Cons

"The assign value function is not there in the A2019 Community edition, which makes it hard for a developer to manipulate the data."
"I feel that document extraction like IQ Bot can be made more refined so that it may reach its full potential."
"They need to improve the stability of the core functionality. If they keep the core constant and constant, they will continue to thrive."
"SMTP mail features should come with migration options. All kind of VB scripts and Java scripts which we built using exiting version should support in this version."
"If the option were available to use the old generic-style variable type, it would be helpful."
"There are occasional bugs in the system but technical support is quick to address them and deliver solutions, patches, and upgrades."
"The bot creation process is tedious. The solution has a lot of features, but since you have to drag down a lot of the commands, it can get tedious to use it."
"We have in-house, a few variables, which we use from technical perspectives. We don't have them in Automation Anywhere, but they introduced them yesterday."
"The discovery suite that they just acquired could be included."
"The machine learning needs to be improved so that they perform better in terms of predictive analysis and sentiment analysis."
"The only challenge that we have faced with BotFarm is that there is no continuous deployment. The whole world is moving to the DevOps model, but BotFarm is still not on the DevOps model. It should have integration with the DevOps model. The migration of the bots or bots pipeline is currently purely manual."
"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."
"The community forums can be improved a little bit because they have mixed solutions or discussions with respect to some ideas."
"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."
"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."
"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."
"There is enhanced functionality I would like to see, things that would further enhance the user experience, deliver greater efficiencies, and further mitigate risk."
"I would not recommend this product for large automation projects because it gave us problems in terms of space and the speed at which it was executing."
"I would rate the product as seven out of 10. It is definitely not a nine or 10 because there are certain shortcomings in it."
"The problem with the solution is that it is agnostic, so it's not made for banks. Sometimes we are challenged because of this. We have to make everything from scratch to make it work for our clients."
"On a scale from one to ten where one is the worst and ten is the best, I would rate WorkFusion as a seven out of ten. It is not higher because they have got some work to do now."
"Sometimes, when we report an issue such as a possible bug in the WorkFusion platform, and we need answers or a solution, we think WorkFusion can do better."
"If we're talking from a developer perspective, the task of actually building automation is not ideal. That's not their strong side."
"We are having some database issues, but we are addressing them."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"We have saved customers 400% in terms of time saved by implementing this product."
"When I started working on it, it was difficult to obtain a trial version (barrier to entry). Now, they have a Community Edition, which may make it easy to get started."
"We have seen a return of investment because it takes less time to market in our current process. I would estimate a times savings between 20 to 30 percent."
"The product starts at $10,000 and then it's up to you regarding how much you can consume."
"We are currently negotiating a contract. Depending upon that, we will definitely look at increasing usage."
"We're paying a monthly subscription fee for the bot and for services. There are no additional costs beyond the standard licensing fee."
"We have seen the tangible benefits of taking monotonous work off people's plates, creating capacity, and cost reductions."
"Their overall pricing falls in the middle of the market. Cost-wise, Automation Anywhere is quite expensive because of their analytics, IQ Bots, and MetaBots. For a standalone machine, the pricing is okay. When adding in the licensing for IQ Bots (or MetaBots), it can become quite costly."
"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."
"An unattended bot license costs around $5,000, whereas an attended bot license costs roughly $1,500."
"I am very happy with 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."
"The solution prices are expensive. It would be more beneficial for customers to lower the pricing."
"There is a license for this solution and it is on an annual basis. I am satisfied with the price."
"I can't speak to pricing. It's a contract signed by upper management."
"It is not the most expensive solution, but it is also not the cheapest."
"The overall cost could come down a bit in terms of maintaining the servers. Because it can handle complicated things in big use cases, the infrastructure is also correspondingly big. It would be nice to bring that cost down."
"My client is using RPA Express, which is available for them to use free of charge."
"One upgrade took a year to do, from the first server being built to the last bot being migrated. This was because we had to migrate all our existing bots. This is the same process and time frame that we are expecting towards the upcoming upgrade. I will end up spending half a million dollars to do an upgrade."
"They have a very expensive license compared to any other automation tool. For instance, at $50,000 - $60,000, you can bring in an Automation Anywhere solution. For this solution, you need at least $250,000 to get something going."
"We are on an annual contract to use the solution."
"We have a good deal from WorkFusion. We have an unlimited global licensing deal with WorkFusion. For us, it is a no-worry solution. We can go ahead and use it as much as possible anywhere we need it. If WorkFusion has a different kind of a deal for licensing with others, then their business decisions need to be evaluated based on that."
