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 transformed complex contract lifecycles and now supports high-volume workflows
The only drawback of Conga Contract Lifecycle Management (CLM) is that it does not work for small-scale business areas because I have implemented it for one customer with four or five pages of templates and three to four record types. For that small business, Conga Contract Lifecycle Management (CLM) does not work well because it is a bit complicated. Sometimes all customers need is a click of a button to go in and do things, and Conga Contract Lifecycle Management (CLM) is a bit complicated for such kinds of businesses. There are definitely areas where Conga Contract Lifecycle Management (CLM) could be easier to use for smaller businesses, particularly making processes more streamlined and user-friendly.

Platform has supported global rollouts and has delivered faster, more reliable commerce journeys
In my view, SAP Commerce Cloud can be improved as it currently feels too heavy, with customers nowadays expecting solutions to be deployed in months rather than years. This is the most significant issue with SAP Commerce Cloud, which caters primarily to Fortune 500 companies and falls short for mid-sized businesses. I do not have a clear idea on which specific feature they should implement to better serve the smaller business market, despite their several past attempts. Regarding potential improvements for SAP Commerce Cloud, I am not the best person to discuss deployments as I lack a DevOps background. However, I believe the primary enhancement should be in their vision and communication of product benefits. Personally, I have found SAP salespeople to be less friendly compared to their Salesforce counterparts. Their inflexibility regarding discounts and offers might be an area for improvement.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The best aspect is the user interface. It is very user-friendly and snappy, responding quickly compared to other available tools. It is easy to learn, and the community support is good for asking questions and getting answers."
"The best feature is the drag-and-drop command. Users with less coding knowledge can also automate their end-to-end processes very easily."
"The features of the Automation Anywhere bot bring us the ability to develop automations to production quickly."
"I like web automation and SAP application automation."
"A cloud deployment typically takes no more than one business day."
"I like the OCR feature, where we can capture information from PDFs."
"It removes demotivating, repetitive work from our teams."
"Some processes that have taken 24 hours for our guys to do, now take seven to eight hours for our bots."
"The main benefits I have seen from using Conga Contract Lifecycle Management (CLM) are that we use it as a discount platform in a huge project for different customers or accounts across the world."
"A 25% to 40% reduction in standard agreements is what we have achieved, and the centralized repository also improved the reporting on contract renewals and expiration and helped the team to identify and address those bottlenecks more quickly."
"Conga Contract Lifecycle Management (CLM) has delivered measurable improvements in both time and cost savings for our organization, significantly reducing manual processing time, shortening contract turnaround times from days to hours, minimizing compliance risk, and improving overall operational efficiency and resource utilization."
"Conga Contract Lifecycle Management (CLM) had a positive impact by streamlining the contract management process and reducing manual effort."
"Conga Contract Lifecycle Management (CLM) has positively impacted my organization by automating contract generation."
"Conga Contract Lifecycle Management (CLM) has a very positive impact on our organization, especially in terms of efficiency and visibility."
"After they shifted from manual work to automation, their sales, business, and revenue have all increased."
"The X-Author 2.0 is the most dominating feature that Conga Contract Lifecycle Management (CLM) has in a contract lifecycle management compared to any other management package in the CLM space."
"SAP Hybris provides us with all of the e-commerce features that a client could need."
"Hybris Commerce's most valuable feature is the simple integration with ERP."
"If you have a client and they want to have an e-commerce project that is based on solid principles, you don't need too much time to develop it."
"The tool supports multiple currencies."
"In SAP Commerce Cloud, I find the integration and the back-end part most valuable because they can be easily integrated with the SAP product catalog and CRM and so on."
"SAP Hybris Commerce is a very advanced e-commerce platform compared to other platforms such as WebSphere Commerce, Oracle Commerce, and others."
"SAP Commerce Cloud has positively impacted our organization by allowing us to launch our website within six months as an omnichannel platform, providing production support readily available and quick product loading, which was crucial for our startup company."
"Overall, a request time of two to three months is a very efficient time for creating the E-Commerce session to go live."
 

Cons

"We have found that the passwords are not very stable in terms of their accuracy. We could only get 70 percent accuracy in these cases. Our clients require more accurate results. We are working toward this."
"One of the things that we did was purchase the solution originally through IBM, as they had an value-added layer on top of it. Once we had another group come on, they purchased additional bots directly from Automation Anywhere, and they wouldn't integrate well. We had to uninstall the solution that we had purchased from IBM and reinstall those bots to move forward."
"There should be a way to avoid recoding everything whenever there's an upgrade to the latest version."
"We have our limitations. We can run only VBScripts and one more thing. If we want to run Python scripts or batch files, we cannot do it. So, if they would add these extra things in there then that would be beneficial."
"The older versions, like version 8 and 9, were not very stable."
"Vertical connecting lines would be appropriate within the code, and a collapse/expand feature for code blocks would be ideal."
"More interactions with PDFs would be great for Automation Anywhere."
"Technical support needs to be much faster."
"The improvement I would consider is that the UI should be improved, including the colors."
"One challenge is the initial setup and configuration, especially for complex workflows and approval hierarchies."
"Template management could be more user-friendly."
"The only drawback of Conga Contract Lifecycle Management (CLM) is that it does not work for small-scale business areas because I have implemented it for one customer with four or five pages of templates and three to four record types."
"Conga Contract Lifecycle Management (CLM) can be improved by closing the workflow automation and also leveraging AI."
"The artificial intelligence was not working properly, and a lot of improvement has to be done."
"Conga Contract Lifecycle Management (CLM) has too much customization, making it not that easy to scale it up and scale it out."
"I have noticed there are very few help articles and knowledge-based documents available, making it a bit tricky for new users to onboard onto the platform."
"They could include additional types of payment implementations. Right now they are just providing CyberSourse."
"Since it comes as an overall package, the license cost is high, and you might or might not use the Solr integration, which allows breaking it based on the use cases to reduce some cost or burden on the companies purchasing the product."
"The support team should improve the response time."
"They have just started to work with the cloud, but they only support Microsoft Azure."
"SAP Hybris does not employ the latest technologies. For example, they still use GSP, Tag Files, an older version of Java, no microservices, and no Amazon Web Services."
"Tighter integration with SAP (more OOTB tools for integration)."
"The stack needs to be improved; they need to start using more new technologies."
"They need to use microservices to make it more scalable, but it's acceptable for now."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Automation Anywhere might have a higher upfront cost than some competitors, but its extensive features and seamless integration with other tools can save organizations money in the long run."
"If we talk about the automation RPA. it definitely has worked very well for us. I'm talking about giving good savings, about more than 180 FTE savings, after implementing more than 200 plus bots. It has worked well. As an organization, it has supported us very well, and also for our customers."
"The cost is affordable, which makes an easy barrier to entry for the RPA market."
"Automation Anywhere is somewhat expensive. The prices are slightly higher, but if you need something, you must pay for it."
"The price of Automation Anywhere is a little higher than some of the competition, such as UiPath. However, depending on the use case and other factors we are able to receive some discounts."
"We are interested in saving manual engineer man-hours. So far, we have saved $100,000."
"We have seen about a 10 percent monetary savings."
"It's fine. However, I'm concerned with the credits in terms of the pricing for the AI models. It is understandable that the new ones are more expensive, but the base models, after doing the pricing conversion, cost about four to ten times as much as paying directly."
