Venkat Sivaprakash

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.

Arpan Mishra

Sr. Executive Engineer at a tech services company with 51-200 employees

Unified data access has boosted analytics speed but still needs better governance and cost control

The best feature that Cloudanix offers is the unified data access layer connecting multiple sources, allowing access to all data from one place. It ensures real-time sync data across systems on-demand, keeping data up to date without manual export. It has cross-platform compatibility across AWS, Azure, GCP databases, and SaaS applications, supports hybrid and multi-cloud environments, and simplifies data queries by letting users query multiple sources as if they are one instance, reducing the need for complex ETL pipelines. The best feature of Cloudanix is the ability to unify distributed data sources into a single, scalable, and easy-to-query layer for faster analytics and simple data management. I have seen specific outcomes and metrics such as reducing the time spent on stitching data sets from multiple systems, where queries now run directly across the connected layer. The analysis time drops from thirty to sixty minutes. Reporting cycles improve, with reports generated five times faster. I reduce engineering data team workload by thirty to fifty percent fewer ad hoc data extraction requests and achieve lower infrastructure and pipeline costs, reaching a ten to thirty percent cost saving in data pipelines and ETL maintenance. Moreover, improved decision speed leads to reduction in the decision cycle from days to hours, enhancing data consistency with fewer discrepancies between reports. For example, before Cloudanix, an analyst spent three hours pulling data from three systems and another two hours cleaning and joining it. After using Cloudanix, the same analysis can be done with one unified query that gets results in a minute, allowing focus to shift to interpretation instead of preparation. Consequently, Cloudanix typically delivers major gains in analyst productivity, achieving fifty to eighty percent faster data preparation and faster reporting cycles with reduced engineering workload and lower data pipeline costs by unifying access to distributed data sources.

Enterprise Cloud Cost Over And Visibility Parts at a manufacturing company with 10,001+ employees

Clear license visibility has reduced waste and guides current software spending decisions

We often communicate with the technical support of Flexera One, and they are providing a good service to us. We are raising cases for the SKU-based library of Flexera One. Suppose there are SKUs which are not recognized. We raise a case with them asking if they could please recognize this SKU or add this SKU to the SKU library. We are in touch with them. Suppose we are not understanding any feature of Flexera One, then we are asking them for a one-to-one call. They interact with us and easily tell us things which we can understand. I will give it a 10 for the technical support of Flexera One on a scale from one to ten.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"We did not encounter any stability issues with Automation Anywhere during the time I worked with the solution."

"Automation Anywhere greatly improved our processing time since robots can execute process steps faster than human resources do."

"The Excel operations are very good."

"No review content was provided."

"The deployment was good."

"This solution allows for the letter generation to take place within seconds, improving the experience for the employees."

"What really helps RPA to grow is the cognitive part of it. That's where the product is really good. Initially, it started out as RPA, but now there is a cognitive aspect to it. That's a key value to it."

"The most valuable feature is the conversion of PDF Invoices to CSV and to PDF Boxes."

More Automation Anywhere pros

"Consequently, Cloudanix typically delivers major gains in analyst productivity, achieving fifty to eighty percent faster data preparation and faster reporting cycles with reduced engineering workload and lower data pipeline costs by unifying access to distributed data sources."

"Choosing Cloudanix has proven very efficient and intuitive, and it remains easy to handle compared to other products available in the market."

"In my opinion, the best features of the product are that it is precise, the SKU library contains all the products and it rightly associates all the use rights and the licensing that is required, and the analytics feature is helpful in strategic decision-making because it adequately and appropriately gives you the reports."

"Sometimes I see cost savings in excess of 40 to 60 percent, with resources also in the same percentage area, depending on what the use case is and how much work and preparation was put into actually designing it appropriately for the use of the tool, as the more that had to get cleaned up or adjusted, the percentages could certainly even increase more."

"I like the way that Flexera connects our contracts to our purchases."

"The best thing about FlexNet Manager for my clients is its strong grip on managing licenses and ensuring they stick to their contracts."

"Flexera One helps us maintain a clear picture of our finances, showing what software we have purchased this year and what we should purchase next year."

"The feature that I find most valuable in Flexera One is the discovery, which is crucial from an ITAM point of view to capture the entire environment and all the software installed in my customer's environment."

"It is a stable solution."

"I like the way it does its compliance. I like its discovery, and I like the fact that it keeps separate hardware and assets and provides easy accessibility to raw data."

More Flexera One pros

Cons

"For assisted automation, the AA bot needs the facility to be triggered through an application interface after collecting input from the user."

"I never use Automation Anywhere in the attended space because they are bad at that, at least compared to other players like us or UiPath."

"On the document automation side, the document learning features are not as robust as one would expect them to be. When I am doing document automation and a document fails due to low confidence in populating a field, it requires manual correction."

"The expectations of what we thought was possible, versus what appears to be possible, were a little bit off."

"I suggest that they add some features in dashboard, where you can say, "These type of features are things that people like more." You want to add those to your project and showcase them to the client so they will be happier. Because you know what features people like if you give a suggestion, that is good for everyone."

"It should have more commands, which should remove the dependency on MetaBots or other scripts so that everything is available in the tool itself."

"For improvement, I would like to see Automation Anywhere integrating with multiple other technologies. As of now, it is integrating with .NET. When it come to future technologies, I want Automation Anywhere to integrate with Python scripts, and make the execution easier. That will be very helpful, having our cognitive technologies interacting with Automation Anywhere."

"There could be more training provided by Automation Anywhere."

More Automation Anywhere cons

"Cloudanix could improve by addressing the limitations in terms of customization."

"Costs are flexible but can become unpredictable if query volume grows quickly."

"Sun Solaris server discovery needs to be improved. Apple Mac OS was not supported fully."

"The biggest challenge I am facing is that Flexera One has a lot of data. It takes time to load and process."

"The hardware and connectors in the product have certain shortcomings where improvements are required."

"One area that could use improvement is the deployment of Flexera agents."

"They could improve their reporting. I'd particularly like them to allow you to schedule it."

"Regarding the price, I feel the price is a bit high."

"Flexera One does not have an agent for it, so it can't report on mainframe usage."

"The first and foremost aspect that could be improved about Flexera One is its capability for customization. It is not easily customizable, and if Flexera One does not have an integration available for different tools and publishers, then creating a custom integration or custom compliance for that particular publisher becomes very difficult."

More Flexera One cons

Pricing and Cost Advice

"We paid separately for the Runner and Creater components. The final cost depends on the structure of your environment."

"Automation Anywhere falls within a mid-range price point when compared to other RPA tools on the market."

"IQ Bots are very costly. It's not a sustainable bot for us as of now. We will look for better, alternate options for that."

"Annual licensing costs would be about $100,000."

"Although the initial implementation cost of Automation Anywhere is relatively high compared to other options, its annual subscription cost is lower than UiPath's, which has the opposite pricing structure."

"The cost is anywhere between $10,000 and $100,000."

"There is a free trial so that they can get an overview, and there are different licenses that are very affordable and can suit every business model."

"We would like to use Citrix going forward. We use Bot Runners to scale up, and it gets to be expensive. Using Citrix, it can mitigate costs."

Information not available

"It was certainly on a par with the price we were paying for Snow License Manager. It wasn't overly expensive."

"I can say that from a price perspective, you can go for FlexNet Manager if you have a very small environment."
