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

"This solution has been great for our company in almost every way possible."
"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."
"We have been able to take resources that have been doing manual work and putting them into more productive work."
"Our workforce has limited capacity. By adding this solution, we can increase the amount of work coming in without adding to our workforce."
"I appreciate that Automation Anywhere is so user-friendly, and currently, our team is learning Power Automate and migrating some of the processes as we go."
"We use IQ Bot for invoice processing. It can be any type of document. It could be a PDF or any sort of document. It will convert those PDFs into CSV files, which is a structured format. It takes it from an unstructured to structured format. That is why we use IQ Bot."
"I really like Screen Recording because it is used to record a task or a series of actions."
"It most benefitted us in converting daily routine tasks into automated processes at minimal cost with available infrastructure."
"The main features of the solution are the IQ Bot and web-based automation."
"There are not many challenges when setting up this solution, and there is a good amount of documentation to go with it."
"The solution has a lot of great features inside of it that clients can take advantage of."
"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."
"The solution is easy to use and easy to apply."
"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 solution seems to offer high stability. We haven't seen any bugs or glitches. It doesn't crash or freeze."
"The robots have helped increase the rate of efficiency by 75% to 80% from a customer perspective and 30% from an order entry perspective."
"We recommend different solutions based on our customers' needs, and WorkFusion is what we offer for those who need a premium solution."
"This solution has great document recognition capabilities."
"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."
"If it is the first time a customer is a victim of fraud, he gets a refund within 10 to 15 minutes."
"In terms of stability, it's quite good."
"The automations that we built are massively important to us."
"The dashboard is the solution's most valuable feature; when clients want to look at the data it's very easy for them to do so, and the dashboard for the IT manager is very useful if there are issues and to create and follow processes."
 

Cons

"It is nice being able to develop and manage/schedule scripts from the same web browser interface, but there are times I wish that the bot developer screen was made more user friendly."
"Technical support is not very good and they sometimes promise what they cannot deliver. They promised us that they would implement multitrigger and according to sources delivery of that functionality is not in their plans."
"I would like the support to be faster. Their response time is one to two days. Their customer care could be faster."
"The IQ Bot is pretty immature, in regards to AI and machine learning. I would like them to add additional logic."
"I want Automation Anywhere to work on IQ Bot further to help evolve the tool more and create a certain set of solutions using IQ Bot."
"Configuring A2019 and using it is getting a little difficult because of frequent errors of compatibility. It is not so user friendly like the enterprise desktop version."
"The Automation Anywhere University courses have helped us, but it could improve some things, like how the courses are designed."
"One of the important drawbacks of Automation Anywhere is that it needs to be able to show the automated process as a single flowchart."
"The machine learning needs to be improved so that they perform better in terms of predictive analysis and sentiment analysis."
"I would definitely be wanting to see OCR features for improving the solution."
"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."
"The only challenge that we have faced with BotFarm is that there is no continuous deployment."
"The licensing schemes could be more competitive. They need to be much more flexible in their pricing."
"One aspect that can be improved is the accessibility of reusable components for developers. It relates to role-based access and accessibility."
"BotFarm newer version has been difficult to install, we have been in contact with the support on this matter."
"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."
"One thing we didn't like was their OCR solution. We felt it's somewhat inefficient."
"It is complex for enterprise implementation. The solution needs a needs minimum, of 20-22 servers. It's no small task. This is not a straightforward setup. It's a large undertaking and there are many moving parts."
"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."
"If WorkFusion goes down, it is a big problem."
"The product could do more to expand its 'codeless' coding options by adding drag-and-drop assistance in building bots for non-technical users."
"The product needs to be "simple and easy" to use."
"The user experience could be better both from an RPA perspective and from a business perspective."
"It is difficult for non-technical users to use WorkFusion. If we really want to build automation, we definitely need Java developers."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"One of the things that will be good for the community will be to get the free version to download, which came out just a month ago called Community Edition. So, you can actually download it and try it for yourself."
"Licensing costs range from $50,000 to $200,000."
"We purchase on a bot basis. Our costs are approximately $5,000."
"The licensing fees are approximately $10,000 USD for between five and ten users."
"The solution is quite expensive. Not every organization can consider this option."
"Overall, the pricing of Automation Anywhere is good."
"I've seen the price vary by whether the client is going to scale and adopt a tool."
"The pricing is reasonable and one can achieve ROI faster when compared to other tools."
"We are on an annual license for the solution and is priced well."
"The product is slightly expensive"
"The starter price is free."
"There is a license for this solution and it is on an annual basis. I am satisfied with the price."
"I think payment can vary but it's a re-occurring fee that needs to be paid every year."
"The pricing model could be simplified."
"Automation Anywhere is more reasonable than Blue Prism and UiPath in terms of cost."
"Licenses are paid on a yearly basis and the cost is quite high."
"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."
"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."
"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."
"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."
"It is not the most expensive solution, but it is also not the cheapest."
"We are on an annual contract to use the solution."
"The pricing is fair because WorkFusion's out-of-the-box solution is appealing."
