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.

Offers good UI but needs to improve its integration capabilities

Speaking about how the tool is useful in automating repetitive tasks in our company, I would say that my company started to collect data with the help of Datamatics while also using its GPS tracking features. The tool's UI is much better than the ones offered by other similar products in the market. I recommend the product to others who plan to use it. I suggest that others use their own method of interrogation since it will help them achieve more growth in their organizations through the use of the tool. I rate the tool a seven and a half out of ten.

No-code workflows have streamlined daily operations and support seamless cross-application automation

Microsoft Power Automate's no-code workflows help my team in daily operations to a great extent. Automating a particular activity may not be so useful, but when you connect the whole workflow, then it starts helping a lot. I cannot say much about the best features in Microsoft Power Automate because I have not used it personally, but first of all, it is very easy, it is a low-code platform, and Microsoft has a lot of integration with Microsoft technologies, making it very easy to connect with MS Teams and different Microsoft products, including MS Azure. From that point of view, it provides a lot of connectivity options. From a cost point of view, Mendix is much more costly compared to Microsoft Power Platform, allowing us to develop applications very quickly.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"Automation Anywhere helped us to reduce the work time on data operations."

"Automation Anywhere has equipped us with amazing tools including Bot Insight, IQ Bot, Discovery Bot, etc."

"Automation Anywhere consistently ranks at the top, matching our vision and strategy for implementing transformative solutions."

"The most valuable feature, which was launched last year, is Automation Co-Pilot. Microsoft has a co-pilot, but it's only for Word, Excel, Outlook, and PowerPoint. But Automation Anywhere offers a co-pilot that is suitable for Salesforce, Genesys, Atlassian, and other contact center and standard applications. This is a game-changing feature for Automation Anywhere..."

"RPA is a feature that really helped eliminate errors during the execution of structured business processes."

"The time savings are valuable."

"I have been using Automation Anywhere for the past five years and it is one of the best tools to automate manual tasks."

"As we were closing our fiscal year, we had this huge backlog that we needed to clean up. The business was preparing to hire 12 people to do that, and even though they were not sure they could handle it, we built the process to extract and do the entire process just in two weeks. We were able with a single person to clean the entire backlog, which gave us huge benefits."

More Automation Anywhere pros

"The solution is inexpensive compared to many other solutions in the market."

"We believe that the value and the cost of the Datamatics TruBot really fits financial institutions' budgets much better than what we'd call the big three, the Automation Anywhere, Blue Prism, UiPath."

"Ability to calculate the ROI on the jobs that are running."

"The product's initial setup phase is straightforward and easy to use."

"The solution is very stable and we have not had any issues."

"The most valuable feature is the ability to integrate across multiple systems."

"Automation is the best feature of the product."

"I like the scalability option and the simplicity, the way we can really use the interface to easily scale up."

"It is a low-code platform. It is easy to use and good for automating small tasks such as expense approvals, timesheet approvals, etc."

"The most valuable feature of Microsoft Power Automate is the ability to automate tedious tasks."

"We have a cockpit that shows us all the workflow for all automated tasks in place, and we have a good overview of our processes now thanks to Power Automate."

"The initial setup isn't too difficult."

"The interface is user-friendly."

More Microsoft Power Automate pros

Cons

"There's potential for Automation Anywhere to integrate conversational types of tools and AI into their tool set, which would be really valuable."

"The AI Sense functionality is what I believe can be improved since when I tried to use it for automating a use case involving a Citrix Virtual Machine, it was unable to capture objects consistently."

"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."

"Automation Anywhere could benefit from more in-person support, as they currently maintain only a virtual presence."

"OCR capability needs to become better."

"I would like to see more stability around scheduling a bot to run headless."

"There is an issue with security where users can see the values in the credential vault."

"There is a small thing from a development point of view. There should be a static site box for finding any command if I am writing a code. If there are hundreds of functions, you can only scroll up and down to find one each one. There should be a site box where we can find the commands and easily use them."

More Automation Anywhere cons

"Would like to see more additions to the library."

"There is a learning curve, and some training could be included to bring users up to speed."

"I'd like to see more additions to the library, which I believe currently has 200 plus items."

"The stability of the product has certain shortcomings, making it an area where improvements are required."

"We expect Microsoft Power Automate to work like any other RPA software, but at present, it is fairly lax, especially in the RPA space. We have a very limited set of use cases today for Microsoft Power Automate. Microsoft should make it a full-featured RPA product like other solutions that we use, such as Automation Anywhere, Blue Prism, and UiPath. This is predominantly the area that they need to improve on. Microsoft Power Automate is quite complex to use as well, especially if you want to do advanced workflows or advanced automation. The regular simple workflows are quite easy and straightforward, but the moment you want to do something complex, it is almost impossible for one of our employees to work on it."

"The tasks that can be automated are limited to Microsoft applications only."

"Creating unattended bots is quite expensive."

"The thing which needs the most improvement is really just their documentation; it should have better details of the processes and more depth with additional details and examples."

"Scalability is the biggest challenge from my perspective because it is literally designed as a single-user product, at least the RPA piece of it is."

"From an improvement perspective, Microsoft just needs to make sure that they have a real enterprise RPA tool. PowerApps and Power Automate are still not at the level of UiPath and Automation Anywhere. It could be because Automation Anywhere and UiPath have been in the market for quite some time. It's just about Microsoft increasing their focus in terms of product reviews and development and making them competitive products that one can consider at an enterprise level. Right now, their use cases are limited as compared to what one would consider doing with UiPath and Automation Anywhere."

"The UI of the solution is not so good."

"I was working on it for around three days and then took a break of about two days. When I went back to it, all of the Excel, and all the Excel functions, just disappeared. Completely vanished. When I looked up the help, it said that sometimes that happens when you're not connected to the internet."

Pricing and Cost Advice

"If you are looking into Automation Anywhere, get the Community Edition and play with it."

"The solution is costly and the licensing is very confusing."

"I am using that Automation Anywhere Master Certification for version 11. Recently, this has been updated in Automation Anywhere University. Until this month, it's free to use. There are no charges. That's why I would like to complete it this month."

"This solution costs approximately $3,500 USD per license."

"I don't know exactly what the pricing schemes are for the product as this type of negotiation is not my responsibility, but I think the basic pricing comes to $15,000."

"We have purchased licenses, but are trying to obtain more bot programmer licenses."

"Cost-wise, it is fine. A lot of medium businesses prefer Automation Anywhere. The development cost is also lower."

"Cost is the biggest area in need of improvement for Automation Anywhere. Annually it's $250,000. That's what deterred us right away."

More Automation Anywhere pricing and cost advice

"The tool is expensive."

"There is a per-user licensing model for individual users."

"This solution is bundled with our Office 365, so there is no additional licensing fee."

"It's more fragmented licensing, where every little thing that you add, you get an extra license cost."

"There is zero licensing cost. It comes with our Microsoft Office subscription."

"Good price-quality relationship. Its features for its price were the best fit for our company."

"Licensing is on an annual basis."

"It is free for us. It is embedded directly in the Office package."

"This is the cheapest option among competitors. You can choose to have the RPA with attendance at $40/month with add-on's totaling about $190. There are standalone options that require someone to run the process and there are fully automated options that are integrated within the cloud."
