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.

Our contracts are moving from draft to full authorization significantly faster now
* The redline function isn’t sufficiently robust. Our clients struggle with the tool during negotiation. * The search feature needs to be a bit more robust, to facilitate complex search functions. * Integration with our ERP system (and other systems) needs to be enabled. SpringCM reports that they are working on all of these items and that they are integrated into their roadmap.

Automated NDA workflows have streamlined contract drafting and approvals for my team
The best features Ironclad offers are that it is very easy to use and very easy to customize; you do not need to be a developer to customize it and to create your own workflows. When I say it is easy to customize, I mean creating the questions and creating the conditions in the template. For example, if you have different businesses and depending on the type of business, you want to customize a document such as an NDA, it is quite easy to do it by yourself inside Ironclad. Ironclad has impacted my organization positively because it is more efficient, allowing us to spend less time on easy tasks and therefore spend more time on more complex tasks. I would estimate 15 to 20% time saved on our side indicates the efficiency gains.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"This solution allows for the letter generation to take place within seconds, improving the experience for the employees."
"The control room is the best part as everything can be seen and controlled from there, scheduling storing of credentials, and much more. I have used PDF extraction and other tools where data needs to be extracted and it works great at that part. I highly recommended this tool for automation."
"The features of the Automation Anywhere bot bring us the ability to develop automations to production quickly."
"AA has improved our efficiency and saved on manual hours because no manual interaction is required."
"AA helped our clients to achieve their goals faster and more efficiently, also reaching ROI very quickly."
"The solution's most valuable feature is its ease of use."
"Business process automation has improved the efficiency and accuracy of processes and reduced manual efforts which can be utilized in value addition for the firm."
"There has been a great return on investment."
"Our contracts are moving through the process, from draft to full authorization, 340 percent faster than they did last year."
"The best features Ironclad offers are that it is very easy to use and very easy to customize; you do not need to be a developer to customize it and to create your own workflows."
 

Cons

"Over the time that I've worked with Automation Anywhere, I have experienced downtime, crashes, or performance issues."
"For people who don't have technical skills, Automation Anywhere may take time when it comes to browsing or loading time, and sometimes becomes very buggy with unwanted failures."
"The user interface should be enhanced to make things simpler for the user."
"They do not include the basic functionality of column headers in Excel worksheets. This is missing, and we need it."
"I have had a couple of crashes and issues."
"The solution should have a more robust forum to help users navigate the solution, learn about it, and get help when they need it."
"I believe Automation Anywhere can be improved by leading in the direction of seamless integration with the LLM models that are readily available today in the market."
"The Excel part needs improvement because we use it as a database. Right now, we are using UiPath for this feature, as that RPA tool allows us to sort, search, and filter in Excel databases."
"The redline function isn’t sufficiently robust. Our clients struggle with the tool during negotiation."
"The redline function isn’t sufficiently robust. Our clients struggle with the tool during negotiation. Also, the search feature needs to be a bit more robust, to facilitate complex search functions. Finally, integration with our ERP system (and other systems) needs to be enabled. SpringCM reports that they are working on all of these items."
"Ironclad can be improved by integrating with artificial intelligence; it does already, but it is not really useful at the moment as it has many bugs and a lot of inaccuracy."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Automation Anywhere is costlier than the general competition. That is aligned with the share of the market it has."
"If I compare it with Blue Prism, Automation Anywhere is cheaper. Blue Prism is very costly. Automation Anywhere's pricing follows the market, not less and not more."
"Considering the cost, it is a bit high, but worth the price because the output accuracy is high."
"The pricing for Automation Anywhere is reasonable."
"We have a three-year contract with Automation Anywhere."
"We have a few licenses. They cost roughly $10,000 each."
"When I started working on it, it was difficult to obtain a trial version (barrier to entry). Now, they have a Community Edition, which may make it easy to get started."
"We're paying a monthly subscription fee for the bot and for services. There are no additional costs beyond the standard licensing fee."
