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

"Automation Anywhere is the first RPA solution we have taken and suggested implementing it to our customers, and it has helped tremendously in assisting our customers in achieving their goals."
"Since it is based on the cloud, it is a highly scalable product. It is easy to deploy, has a very good UI, and the bots can be easily deployed with no issues."
"The best features of Automation Anywhere include the user interface, which is quite easy to use now compared to its previous versions that were more difficult, and all code is visible during coding, showing what is going ahead and what follows in the code, which is not available in other RPA tools such as UiPath, making it a standout feature."
"It is easy to use and deploy."
"As a solution for process automation, it's been very easy for us to use, and I don't think that we could have done it with any other solution."
"In the age of agentic AI, it's allowing us to imagine what comes next."
"The most valuable feature is its ease of development; it's pretty easy for people who don't have a tech background to use and is one of the easiest tools for them to use."
"OCR, Image Recognition, Object Cloning, and PDF integration help us a lot."
"As a company, if you feel that your ROI is pretty high and with Automation Anywhere you are able to achieve the desired ROI that you are looking for, then I would definitely say Automation Anywhere is a very good solution to adopt."
"From a solution standpoint, screen capture and tight integration with Outlook are valuable features."
"Automation Anywhere has good document extraction features where it can learn patterns."
"I use it in my client project to extract data and communicate it for business purposes."
"The solution seems to offer high stability. We haven't seen any bugs or glitches. It doesn't crash or freeze."
"The web interface that was introduced in the recent version helps because you are not dependent on any particular system."
"One of the advantages of Automation Anywhere is that the Bot Insight feature is built-in."
"The entire backend system structure is something that I found really valuable."
"The most valuable features are the recorder because it's user-friendly and the integration with other tools Excel."
"The document processing engine is good. We're extracting around 70 data points from a given document, and we have an automated extraction rate of 80 percent for those fields."
"It takes care of simple tasks so users can focus more on exceptions than on regular use cases. They only focus on orders where they need to handle an exception, some information was not given, or there is an issue that they had to focus on. The rest of it goes straight through without human touch. We want to see our employees as engineers, wherein they think and solve problems, not necessarily have to do repetitive tasks. I think WorkFusion helps with avoiding repetitive tasks."
"Before WorkFusion, my processes were all manual, and now the Workfusion model reduces the amount of time my analysts have to spend reviewing client profiles against client documentation, brings greater efficiency and reduced costs, should reduce our processing time by about 25 percent, and improves our accuracy and compliance by reducing human error and the need for further QC."
"We can see that its competitive ability is quite good."
"The automation process is the most valuable feature."
"This product helps us by automating functions in finance, where users are able to have attended bots and save time by handing processes to the bots to run while they continue their own work."
"The tool itself is easy. I started using it without really having any coding experience... After just a few clicks, it was doing reconciliations for me."
 

Cons

"Their technical support is good, but it could be better."
"It still uses old, deprecated Microsoft components that have an end date."
"The Automation Anywhere community is less active than the UiPath community, which is a downside. When I ask questions in the Automation Anywhere community, responses take a longer time."
"The A2019 in early releases had been quite unstable to our experience."
"The solution doesn't offer all the capabilities that we need, so we have to use it in conjunction with other software."
"We are still looking into some of its current capabilities, like IT Bot."
"Better use case management to prevent each development from scratch would be an improvement."
"It's somewhat pricier than some of the other tools that we've used, and the breakout between the different applications is also somewhat costly."
"It should be easier to create an environment for bots to operate in. There should be more support for developing in environments such as Citrix and Linux."
"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."
"Its UI could be made better. It should also be more flexible."
"The solution can improve the accuracy of hand-written data reading"
"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 dashboard needs improvement. For Bot Farm, the visualization is not that good compared to the main Automation Anywhere dashboard."
"The machine learning needs to be improved so that they perform better in terms of predictive analysis and sentiment analysis."
"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."
"We are having some database issues, but we are addressing them."
"If we're talking from a developer perspective, the task of actually building automation is not ideal. That's not their strong side."
"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."
"One thing we didn't like was their OCR solution. We felt it's somewhat inefficient."
"We had some issues in the past, but it is fairly stable now. From what I hear, it is more stable in the later versions. With version 10.1.4, there were some issues relating to load distribution. However, it is good now."
"There is enhanced functionality I would like to see, things that would further enhance the user experience, deliver greater efficiencies, and further mitigate risk."
"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."
"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."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The licensing cost is approximately $4,000 USD, which is a seed license."
"The cost is high for small-scale businesses but it is fine for medium and large enterprises. Its high licensing cost may affect small-scale businesses. Reducing licensing costs would benefit many users."
"In terms of pricing, this is a good product."
"Licensing for Automation Anywhere (AA) is paid on a yearly basis. Out of all the RPA tools, it has the most value for money, e.g. what you pay is what you get."
"Its price is competitive with all other products in the market."
"It is expensive. I would rate Automation Anywhere an eight out of ten in terms of pricing."
"Our licensing costs are setup on an annual basis."
"They're very flexible around pricing and licensing."
"Pricing for this solution can be better."
"Our licensing costs are approximately $3,000 USD annually."
"The licensing is on a monthly basis."
"We pay approximately $15,000 USD per year."
"There is a license for this solution and it is on an annual basis. I am satisfied with the price."
"An unattended bot license costs around $5,000, whereas an attended bot license costs roughly $1,500."
"Licenses are paid on a yearly basis and the cost is quite high."
"The product is slightly expensive"
"We are on an annual contract to use the solution."
"The pricing is fair because WorkFusion's out-of-the-box solution is appealing."
"As a first-time customer who wants to engage with WorkFusion, not working for my company, then I would want to do a PoC. The cost is prohibitive because they will ask me to get infrastructure with six or seven servers. Then, you must buy a WorkFusion license to do a PoC, which is expensive. I would then have to set up a team to build the PoC and see the benefits. That is very prohibitive."
"Find it online."
"The solution was not the cheapest, but it was also not the most expensive. Workfusion was very open to negotiating pricing and to working within the objectives of our firm."
"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."
"I can't speak to pricing. It's a contract signed by upper management."
"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."
