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.

Supports long-running asynchronous processes effectively but has not evolved much in recent years

I think Camunda is focusing too much on the SaaS offering right now and not much on improving and developing the product itself. I did not see any innovations on that aspect, especially for the open-source version. I was making some tests recently and the tool seemed pretty much the same as it was three or four years ago. Since they made the move to cloud deployment in a more SaaS-oriented way, they do not invest too much in the community version. To be honest, it did not change much from the Activiti initial version. Activiti was pretty much what Camunda is today. They invested a lot on Zeebe and made it the engine for their SaaS cloud version. Camunda itself, the embedded engine, did not evolve too much. They could invest more on that.

Workflow orchestration has transformed AI delivery and creates clear, visible processes

Inngest handles orchestrating multi-step AI workflows effectively. The valuable aspect of this product is turning scattered background jobs into a visible workflow that can be planned, estimated, monitored, and discussed with engineering and client stakeholders. In our product, this matters because AI products often look simple at the interface level but contain many moving parts underneath. A user may only see a button or a chat response, but behind the scenes, they may encounter model calls, retrieval logic, state changes, data processing, and monitoring. Inngest helps to make the hidden layer more manageable. I value that Inngest supports repeatable patterns. Instead of inventing a new solution for each feature for client projects, we can use a more consistent approach that makes future work easier to scope and maintain. The best features Inngest offers include the ability to visualize the workflow, which allows for easy planning, estimation, and monitoring. Visualization aids greatly with planning and estimation in my projects, saving time and making communication with my team easier. As a delivery owner, I need to communicate with the team, and presenting to stakeholders is essential. Inngest has positively impacted my organization, allowing us to spend less engineering time on building orchestration patterns. Since using Inngest, I have noticed positive changes such as smoother processes and improved team collaboration. The best impact on my project and team is that it allows us to spend less engineering time on building orchestration patterns, resulting in fewer meetings and a clearer path for async AI features. This product reduces engineering efforts and shortens the delivery cycle. Everyone using Inngest, including myself, can feel the positive outcomes. Visibility is very important.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The tool is very easy to use and mostly user-friendly. I like that when using it I don't need much expertise."

"Co-pilot certainly makes the job easier if the client has a subscription. It allows me to analyze desktop flows and activities and create flows using natural language."

"I recommend Automation Anywhere to other users because it minimizes repetitive human tasks, saves time, and helps reduce costs."

"Automation has helped us improve productivity in that it first of all saves time, and because of the automation we are able to eliminate human errors, so it is really good for improving our productivity and has helped us a lot."

"I like the diversity. Every year, maybe even every six months, new modules are introduced to the program, and module enhancements are added to the toolbox to make automating various applications or situations easier."

"The support team responds quickly."

"The code, once developed, is pretty stable."

"In one of the use cases, we used to have around 300 tickets per month which has been reduced to almost zero now."

More Automation Anywhere pros

"Camunda Platform is better than IBM BPM, and Azure; it is more elaborate, divided across the platform with integration separated from the UI and internal work, and it also integrates well."

"The modeler is useful for creating the flow. The way to access the data through their REST API is also valuable. This is what we're using right now."

"I've found the active community most valuable but it also provides you with a lot of other features."

"The flexibility is great."

"The solution is good for data models."

"It allows me to present or to demonstrate the business process flow, visually, without having to resort to PowerPoint, Visio, or other products, and I can convert it into a real process once it is validated visually by the business people."

"The most valuable feature is the ability to share the logic within the rules engine with the business, so you can put it up for everybody to read."

"The way to create workflows is straightforward, which is one of the major benefits of the Camunda platform."

More Camunda pros

"Inngest has positively impacted my organization, allowing us to spend less engineering time on building orchestration patterns, resulting in fewer meetings and a clearer path for async AI features."

Cons

"Integration with secondary environments needs to be improved or enabled."

"There should be a way to avoid recoding everything whenever there's an upgrade to the latest version."

"I would like to see a built-in read-only role for the control room so that the bot creators can log in and monitor the production environment without any auditing concerns."

"Automation Anywhere is a technical application. It is not so easy for a regular user. It requires technical knowledge."

"One way Automation Anywhere can be improved is in ticketing; I have a couple of tickets that have been outstanding for a while, and the support staff have closed tickets without checking with me first, which has been a sore spot."

"It is not able to use OCR effectively and has limited usability."

"Bringing a DevOps model for bot implementation integrated through private bot store might be a good idea to improve the tool."

"The areas in which the product and service must be improved are in the government sector and ministries such as the Ministry of Education and Health."

More Automation Anywhere cons

"Initial setup can be quite complex."

"The solution's initial setup has a medium level of difficulty. Maybe someone who is starting out and doesn't have any experience with any other framework may get into some headaches."

"Especially when you use the open-source version, there are issues with performance."

"I would like to see the forms engine available in the open-source version of this solution."

"As we experienced some difficulties in the beginning, deployment took almost a month."

"When you search for Camunda BPM resources or books on how to utilize Camunda BPM, it is lacking."

"Support is an area that is in need of improvement."

"There should be a multi-tenant solution for the platform where it supports multiple organizations on one platform instead of having to spin up multiple clusters for each organization. There should be an easy way to integrate different departments into one platform without having to operate multiple platforms. The operations should be easier with the enterprise solution. It should not create more overhead for the operations people."

More Camunda cons

"An area for improvement for Inngest could be stronger product reporting, such as cost by client and AI feature."

Pricing and Cost Advice

"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."

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

"Including the AWS setup and everything per license, it costs us around $10,000 on an annual basis. I believe that is pretty reasonable considering the teams that we have."

"I think the pricing is reasonable, but clients often perceive it as expensive."

"The pricing is fair. My company is part of a big organization, so the pricing is very advantageous."

"Annually, we are paying almost one million reais."

"It is affordable for us."

"The pricing model can be a bit more flexible."

More Automation Anywhere pricing and cost advice

"The evaluation of my customers on pricing is that it is reasonable."

"Camunda Platform is an open-source product."

"The most attractive feature of the product is that it is open source."

"We are using the open-source version, free of charge. We didn't bother with the enterprise features."

"We are using the open-source version of this solution."

"Compared to other software, Camunda Platform is quite cost-effective."

"The cost of this solution is better than some competing products."

"We are using the paid edition because there is no separate support and service license yet. We are yet to find a suitable licensing model for Camunda because we only use the engine, and we have implemented our solution around Camunda Cloud. So, we are mainly interested in the support and service, and that's what we mainly use in the paid edition."
