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

"Some processes that have taken 24 hours for our guys to do, now take seven to eight hours for our bots."

"One thing I really like is the the recorder where you can connect with multiple systems. The OCR is also good."

"With IQ Bot, we can now include cognitive automation into our process. The cognitive document processing is pretty good with IQ Bot."

"I really like the Automation Anywhere University website because it has a lot of good documents that you can read to learn about the solution."

"By using SNMP configurations and Excel, I was able to read the mail. I used this functionality to categorize the fabric, then I used this information to correlate the value to Jira along with Excel."

"None of the commands are unique to Automation Anywhere, which allows beginners to leverage external knowledge."

"It is easy to use and developer-friendly. The development time is very short. If any system needs to be changed or any functionality needs to be incorporated to any of the technology, it usually will be a long process, like months. With this innovative tool's automation, it is very dynamic, easy to develop, and deliver results quickly. With some of our use cases, we were able to deliver within the time frame of two to three weeks, which is the biggest plus with this tool."

"Automation Anywhere has excellent features."

More Automation Anywhere pros

"The ease with which I can define workflows is most valuable. The latest updates and flexibility that it provides around a task activity are interesting for me."

", Camunda can be a powerful tool to work with when used in an optimized and well-implemented manner."

"The speed and execution of DMN was a big selling point for us. It's very good at conducting business processes that are easily modeled and presented in a way that's easy to understand."

"By using Camunda, we could have the application process design, and we could quickly deploy the system to production and have the product early on the market."

"We helped our customer to reduce their licensing and operational costs to a larger extent by proposing Camunda BPM to replace the existing BPM solution."

"On a scale of one to ten, I rate ECS a ten out of ten."

"Since day one, our goal was to build reusable components that can be used in other projects, and we recently did a discovery for one of our projects and we found that we could reuse 80 percent of what we had developed on the Camunda platform, and the microservices and the connectors were reusable and that really reduced the development effort drastically for that use case."

"The solution is easily compatible with HTML forms and HTML language programming and that is the most significant part."

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

"If the deployment is not right, you get the frustration, not the automation."

"One day, there will be a message box saying that the application is down or not available on a weekend. The instructions will say read the information and click, "Okay." But a bot doesn't understand the instructions because it is not the IQ system."

"Many of our clients would want to see scalability in pricing, and while I could say cheaper, that's part of it."

"I'd like to see the OCR feature be perfected. Today we get an accuracy ratio from OCR of around 40 percent to 50 percent only."

"We have encountered some issues in the actions like Terminal Emulator-> Send Key -> Page Down/Up not working."

"Automation Anywhere has newly integrated the Generative AI feature. It should be more customizable. Currently, we can change certain parameters, but we would like to have the ability to do modifications within the LLM for better outputs."

"We had a few setbacks because of bots getting queued and unable to force delete a task bot which kept persisting in the control room. These features should be included in future releases which will be highly beneficial."

"Their technical support is good, but it could be better."

More Automation Anywhere cons

"We have faced problems with the performance."

"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."

"The development team had a lot of issues at the start. Guaranteeing the execution times that it will work to is difficult."

"Process interfaces between diagrams could be improved."

"It would be helpful if the solution had additional out-of-the-box activities."

"Initially, installation was challenging, but recent improvements have made it much easier."

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

"It has a Postgres database at the backend, and it is very difficult to scale if you increase the number of processes running. We did hit some barriers. We were able to overcome them, but it was a problem. Camunda has another product called Camunda Cloud, which supposedly doesn't have the same scalability problems, but we are not using Camunda Cloud because the set of features is smaller than Camunda On-Premises. So, its scalability can be improved. Because it has a single database, it is more difficult to scale if you have a huge success."

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

"It is fantastic. It has been great. It is perfectly priced for the quality received. When paying for quality, that is exactly what you get."

"Automation Anywhere is expensive, making it more suitable for enterprise organizations."

"We are not receiving the right information about their features, e.g. Automation Anywhere University, or anything that they are selling. They need to improve their documentation."

"In terms of pricing, it's not at all cheap, and that's a concern. The licensing cost is very high. While I don't know the exact prices of other tools, Microsoft offers the lowest pricing for its RPA platform compared to UiPath and Automation Anywhere."

"The ROI is really good. We have saved time and money."

"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."

"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."

"There is an annual subscription for Automation Anywhere."

More Automation Anywhere pricing and cost advice

"It is less cost-prohibitive than other solutions on the market. This solution was in our price range."

"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."

"We're using the free version. We used the Enterprise version for some time. If I compare free versus what we paid at that time, the Enterprise version costs a lot. For the additional functionality that we got with the Enterprise version, it was too costly."

"Camunda Platform is an open-source product."

"We pay for the license of this solution annually."

"Camunda is much cheaper."

"I think Camunda BPM can improve their licensing costs. It isn't easy to find clients with Camunda BPM licenses mainly because it's quite expensive."

"There is an open-source version available, that in its core features (workflow and decision engine, modeler) is exactly the same as in the enterprise version."
