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.

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

"A has a bouquet of features that can be used in our projects. We have utilized all the features in our existing projects. It may be task bots, meta bots, or IQ bots. The features in the AA bots may be object cloning or security features where the bots can be triggered only from the control room and will help clients to maintain their security concerns."

"All the data that comes in has to be QC'd. Automation Anywhere helps us by automating the QC part."

"With the help of Bot, it has increased the productivity of the current process and we do not need to spend more time on error resolution and rectification."

"This RPA solution really stands out because of its functionality, scalability, and stability, offers very good technical support, and is always innovating with new features that speak to various operational use cases."

"I have enjoyed using all the features of this tool, not just one feature, e.g., object cloning, Excel automation, and the web recorder."

"We have saved customers 400% in terms of time saved by implementing this product."

"Recorders and Bot Insights are very valuable features."

"Overall, Automation Anywhere is a very user-friendly and easy-to-use tool, and if clients are looking to implement automation into their business, I would definitely recommend Automation Anywhere over other tools because it is well-suited for their purposes and can be easily utilized."

More Automation Anywhere pros

"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."

"They recently released the newest version that has a good program flow, quality, and blueprints that are all good improvements to the automation. They also have good integration with SAP."

"The product has increased efficiency and reduced the time spent on tasks."

"What I like most about BotFarm is that it's one of the leading RPA products in the market, and very few products focus on robotics today, so I like that BotFarm offers a lot in terms of what general customers expect it to do."

"BotFarm by Automation Anywhere is great for building bots."

"Technical support is really good; when we have had issues, they have been able to help us and gave us several solutions based on the challenges that we were facing."

"Productivity increased far more than thirty percent."

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

More BotFarm pros

"The customer support is very responsive."

"The cognitive features of this solution are good."

"A helpful feature is the analytics capability within WorkFusion. The analytics dashboards, i.e., their Tableau dashboards, are really helpful for building a business activity monitoring layer. These are very visible to senior management and stakeholders, who can see and know what is happening within processes. They can see what benefits are getting delivered as processes, either ;daily, weekly, monthly, or quarterly. It is easy for stakeholders or senior management to understand the value for the money that they are spending."

"RPA, as a whole, is an amazing product within WorkFusion when it comes to deploying at scale."

"We have seen Workfusion improve on accuracy and compliance... With the Workfusion model, we reduce human error and the need for further QC. We switch more to a QA process where we're testing whether the model is effective."

"The most valuable features are the Excel activities. It has a number of Excel activities that are quite reliable."

"Overall, I would recommend this solution to other users."

"WorkFusion helps by speeding up processes. The process takes time. It has business costs associated because there are people waiting to take the next steps in the process. The end result of waiting, whether it is an internal or external team, is that they are delayed. Therefore, it helps us in speeding up business processes and improving employee morale, as people don't have to do repetitive work anymore."

More WorkFusion pros

Cons

"The main problem that I have with Automation Anywhere is the support. When I have problems that I cannot solve by myself, it is hard to achieve a good result with support. Language is another issue."

"There is an issue with the object cloning in Excel. OCR is also not that stable. Image recognition works fine, but not all the time."

"Over the time that I've worked with Automation Anywhere, I have experienced downtime, crashes, or performance issues."

"The product needs improvements in dealing with remote servers and providing more APIs that will be used with other systems."

"Commands in Excel, Outlook, and Word automation are very limited and hence facing difficulties automating complex requirements for the above applications with V11 version."

"They could improve the learning curve."

"An additional feature we would like to see is the inclusion of a particular kind of scripting in the development environment itself."

"They are already working on this: The boom of generative AI, the next-gen technologies, including advanced AI and ML technologies, are in the roadmap. I would like to see more and more AI integration and a bit more analytics. That would be great."

More Automation Anywhere cons

"Scalability is an area of improvement. We can increase the main features for our project but when we reached out to our personnel and asked whether Bot can be expanded, we were told "You cannot scale this Bot."

"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."

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

"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."

"There should be more support for developing in environments such as Citrix and Linux."

"BotFarm newer version has been difficult to install, we have been in contact with the support on this matter."

"I would like to have access to self-service support."

"An area for improvement in BotFarm is that the communication between the Control Room and the Bot Client Missions isn't utilized well. There's also the issue with PCI DSS compliance or certain regulations that require a set of configurations that are not fully supported by BotFarm. The product should be certified or designed according to the required regulations in the finance industry to make it better."

More BotFarm cons

"We would like to see further improvement in the area of running headless."

"If WorkFusion goes down, it is a big problem."

"The solution is not user-friendly, this is something they should improve."

"I would like it if they provided a more detailed roadmap in terms of where they are going with the product. As we are trying to make decisions about the things that we are going to do to try to augment our capabilities, we could know whether they are thinking about the same things or not."

"The user experience could be better both from an RPA perspective and from a business perspective."

"However, we've had use cases where we decided not to employ WorkFusion because it lacked capabilities that were important for the business processes in our company."

"This is a Java-based application that takes up a lot of space and when it runs, consumes a lot of memory. This affects the reliability because it gets to a point where it hangs."

"One thing we didn't like was their OCR solution. We felt it's somewhat inefficient."

More WorkFusion cons

Pricing and Cost Advice

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

"There are some additional costs beyond the standard licensing fees. There are a couple of add-ons we've looked at: The IQ Bot for OCR and machine-learning were add-ons, as well as the Bot Insights - the analytics."

"Initially, they charged a premium, but now the rest of the vendors have increased their overall pricing and Automation Anywhere is not that high at this time. It's pretty viable."

"The initial setup and licensing fees are high, and although it saves costs in the long run, reaching the break-even point can take at least six months."

"I don't deal have cost specifics but I can say it is a tool that provides value for the money."

"It is not cheap, but we are able to get an ROI."

"The price of Automation Anywhere is a little higher than some of the competition, such as UiPath. However, depending on the use case and other factors we are able to receive some discounts."

"With the rebate processing automation that we did, it has provided us a savings of around an hour or two a person on a daily basis, which is quite a lot of savings."

More Automation Anywhere pricing and cost advice

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

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

"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."

"The starter price is free."

"Pricing for this solution can be better."

"It is too expensive and not worth the price."

"An unattended bot license costs around $5,000, whereas an attended bot license costs roughly $1,500."

"Our licensing costs are approximately $3,000 USD annually."

More BotFarm pricing and cost advice

"My client is using RPA Express, which is available for them to use free of charge."

"We are on an annual contract to use the solution."

"I can't speak to pricing. It's a contract signed by upper management."

"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."

"The pricing is fair because WorkFusion's out-of-the-box solution is appealing."

"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 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."

"Find it online."
