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 unified workflows and now drives AI-orchestrated operations for our teams
We are a sports tech company building the new standard in athlete visibility, and we rely heavily on Cerbrec's AI expertise and AI agent development to help make what we do possible. Our primary use case is automating operational workflows without heavy custom coding Cerbrec has significantly…

Automation has transformed complex workflows and has empowered non‑technical teams to build flows
Regarding improvements for n8n, I would highlight two areas. First, while there is a growing community, the ecosystem of pre-built nodes for niche or proprietary systems still lags behind some commercial competitors. I often have to build custom HTTP request nodes or create my own node packages, which is doable but adds to project timelines. Second, features for team collaboration and lifecycle management are still evolving. Moving workflows from development to staging to production can be a manual export-import process, and native Git integration and more robust user roles for larger client teams would be a game-changer. Regarding needed improvements, I believe much of the existing documentation is not peer-reviewed. There is definitely a big community, but if the documentation or tutorials were approved or at least had a badge from n8n, customers would feel that this meets the standards of n8n editors themselves, which would give more confidence in the flows.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"We spend less time preparing data."
"This solution is valuable because it can automate tasks which would otherwise be left for us to process manually."
"Automation Anywhere has positively impacted my organization by saving millions of dollars over the past several years since we implemented it, along with saving a lot of hours, achieving a lot of ROI, realizing a lot of value, and significantly reducing urgency and stress."
"My understanding is that the initial setup is pretty straightforward."
"At the end of the day, the effort that you put in has exponential benefits, giving you many advantages from your lines of code, which is amazing."
"Automation Anywhere overall is a great tool for automation, as it provides a lot of flexibility to work with different other applications."
"The deployment of Automation Anywhere went smoothly. They were very supportive with the migration of all of our existing automations and also being there and supportive with the development of the new automations."
"The scalability of Automation Anywhere, the framework, and user interface are particularly impressive."
"Cerbrec has significantly improved our operational efficiency by unifying disparate workflows into a single AI-orchestrated system."
"Cerbrec’s ability to rapidly prototype solutions, test them, and make changes has allowed them to leapfrog similar solutions in terms of value delivery."
"We see roughly a 70% reduction in manual processing time on the document pipeline side, which means our clients can focus on higher-value audit and compliance work rather than data entry."
"n8n is very useful because it has saved a lot of people a lot of code and has brought us to a point of little or no-code development that has helped create a way that we are not fully dependent on those writing the code and trying to glue integrations together."
"The best features n8n offers are automation and integration with different tools including Calendar, Gmail, WATI, and many other tools, which help me complete my work faster."
"The low-code interface and the quick code writing within n8n that we can do and utilize is very helpful; it brings in efficiency, better time to market, and actually helps us."
"One positive impact that n8n has had on my customers' organizations is significantly less hassle over SEO or reaching out to clients and scheduling meetings."
"n8n is a really good automation platform where I can use it to automate my businesses and processes and also save money and time."
"Our customers do see a return on investment with this solution; it absolutely offers value for money."
"n8n helps automate jobs that no one enjoys doing, which are very repetitive, and it saves time and money because it handles those boring tasks that can now be automated."
 

Cons

"Sometimes, the recorder from Automation Anywhere does not work well and is inaccurate. This should be improved."
"With any new upgrades, we have to make changes in the codes. To us, this means that the tool is not stable. We have been told by Automation Anywhere that this will be fixed in future releases."
"Custom models with advanced features can be included in the IQ Bot models for unstructured and semi-structured data."
"In the Microsoft Excel features, it needs a command to wait for a calculation to complete."
"The initial implementation of Automation Anywhere regarding the elastic search and database set connection can be a little difficult."
"Automation Anywhere is a technical application. It is not so easy for a regular user. It requires technical knowledge."
"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."
"I would like to have a command that allows me to add code, like C#. As a developer, this would be helpful."
"Documentation for advanced agent customization is good, but it could include more real-world examples."
"They haven't fully helped tailor solutions for our needs."
"I feel that n8n is more coding-oriented, as it presents everything in a JSON format. n8n needs to update some features and ensure that everything is user-friendly."
"There are limitations in scalability."
"Because of that constraint, I used the way n8n itself flows and works to create an autonomous system that I designed for the marketing domain, making sure that the guardrails are executing at the commit boundary."
"What I would like for them to improve is to include more nodes and different service provider integrations, just the way Zapier does."
"Currently, most products nowadays include walkthrough or guide videos, short videos of 20 to 30 seconds that inform about any particular button or action, which n8n product does not have."
"From my experience, n8n is stable, though the part that can be less stable is that you must stay connected to many APIs."
"In my experience, n8n is not very stable, but it has the potential to be more stable."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"This is a value for the money product."
"It's cheaper than other similar solutions."
"Our advice is that anybody interested in this product should negotiate product bundles in order to reduce the cost of installation and setup."
"They're very flexible around pricing and licensing."
"The pricing for Automation Anywhere is reasonable."
"I don't agree with the IQ Bot licensing costs, which depends on the consumption of the document rather than per bot or user. This is confusing for me, because most of the cases for us in a possible future scenario, there would be a lot of invalid data to be scanned to get to real data. E.g., we would have to supply approximately 100 pages of scanned data to extract two pages of original data. In these type of cases, the IQ Bot might be a costly venture."
"We save 34,000 hours of time per year and have recouped up to $6000 in lost revenue."
"On a scale of one to ten with ten being the most expensive, I rate the price of Automation Anywhere an eight out of ten."
