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.

Collaboration has improved through simplified document access and controlled sharing
SharePoint is definitely used to keep a record of our files and data. The capability is quite good because it is time-saving. I have used it only four or five times, but it has been very helpful to keep all my information in a consolidated manner. The search feature is one of the most beneficial factors that we use to filter out the latest data or the latest file as per our convenience and use case. When you have a large repository, this feature is particularly valuable. Role-based access control has been helpful while developing the knowledge platform. The roles were defined clearly, which made it easy for the four or five of us to work simultaneously and collaborate on our project in a similar manner.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"Comparing to other products in the market, we are getting all the features in hundred percent quality with what the objective needs to be met by other products, and that is also delivered in Automation Anywhere."
"We have hundreds of cases a day. There were around two to three employees who were just moving a case from one state to another. This was a repetitive, tedious job, which was frustrating for the employees. It helps to have the bot doing this work now. We have immediately seen effects, so this is a good use for it."
"I like all of the features, especially the MetaBot, REST API, and SAP DLL."
"The cognitive automation gives us an edge towards intelligence using IQ Bot, and this allows us to integrate and give a combined solution to a customer."
"While RPA is the cutting-edge technology to bring digital transformation, the RPA as a service will reduce costs and increase efficiency with ease of deployment, less maintenance, and cheaper upgrade costs."
"By using SNMP configurations and Excel, I was able to read the mail. I used this functionality to categorize the fabric, then I used this information to correlate the value to Jira along with Excel."
"Scheduling helps to generate and send reports without any delay."
"Other products are more low-code, whereas Automation Anywhere is no-code making it easier to learn and user-friendly."
"Our contracts are moving through the process, from draft to full authorization, 340 percent faster than they did last year."
"We can arrange all our documents on one platform and see the document's changes and edits."
"SharePoint has an option where you can open files on the browser, whereby more than five people can make amendments to one Excel online file."
"Ease of implementation, certainly IT needs to give appropriate access to a sandbox, but learning is easy and quick."
"It's providing a social collaboration experience to a culture of heavy email users."
"Otherwise, this is an amazing option."
"It has helped us with storing all the documents, which means that people are not going to intervene. There is a way of extracting knowledge within documentation and tracking it. There are knowledge assets for where documentation is stored, indexed and searchable through SharePoint."
"Competitors are solidly in the market who offer better workflow, security, governance and collaboration."
"The initial setup of SharePoint is very straightforward."
 

Cons

"One area where I can see room for improvement is the training material that is available."
"In the control room, the manual bot update should be looked at."
"The product is good, no doubt about it, but we need the OCR for handwritten documents, the web-based solution, and the licensing has to be improved."
"Its pricing definitely needs to be more competitive. When licensing costs are high, we cannot use this tool for automation."
"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."
"In my opinion, there are always areas for improvement in Automation Anywhere, and they are continuously working on enhancements."
"There are a lot of things that need to be improved, especially related to the Control Room, but you can develop and scale with this tool very, very fast."
"Automation Anywhere is a technical application. It is not so easy for a regular user. It requires technical knowledge."
"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."
"The redline function isn’t sufficiently robust. Our clients struggle with the tool during negotiation."
"The product must provide more automation."
"Submitting document changes function needs to be improved."
"No good process to import emails from several users into a single comprehensive SP repository."
"Initial setup was complex for IT resources with a non-SharePoint background."
"Unless you have worked with a SharePoint business analyst, designer or power user, managing individual sites does require training to understand the components of the site settings and content."
"The workflow engine, MS Workflow Manager, is still in Version 1.0 and the future Microsoft strategy for this product is unclear."
"The user profile synchronization feature is cumbersome to configure and at least initially had some stability issues."
"The initial setup process is not intuitive."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Additional costs will be for the machines and the number of machines that you are using. You can deploy virtually as well as on physical machines. In both the situations, you do need to allocate a certain budget for securing the machines and where the software will be installed and running. The machines cannot be used for anything else, because only a certain bot can run at a certain time. You need to be very particular about your scheduling of running the bots, and while the bot is running nobody can use the machine. You cannot have an agent working on a machine and the bot running in the background. It has to be completely dedicated. Then there are the network bandwidth requirements and space requirements, which are additional costs apart from the licensing and software costs. The developer is also going to charge you for their coding time too."
"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."
"Automation Anywhere is costlier than the general competition. That is aligned with the share of the market it has."
"The solution is quite expensive. Not every organization can consider this option."
"We were required to purchase licenses and bot runners, which determined the permissible run times for the bots."
"I am not responsible for the pricing part, but I know the pricing is competitive compared to other tools."
"It is one of the most affordable RPA solutions, and as for licensing, they offer a community edition that greatly helps anyone who aspires to learn about the product before buying the enterprise solution."
"We're on a license package with Automation Anywhere (AA), paid yearly. What would be better is for them to have different packages for different types of organization."
Information not available
"We have purchased add-ons to handle multiple site collections, form creation, and design."
"Licensing can be by server or by seat."
"SharePoint is included with our Microsoft license."
"It comes bundled with the Microsoft 365 pricing plans."
"The licensing model for SharePoint Online is based on per user, and it is monthly. The price of the solution overall is good."
"The replacement costs for it are cheaper if you use only SharePoint."
"The pricing is competitive."
"It is pretty reasonable. It is $5 per month per user. We have 12 users now, so it is about $60 per month."

Jive vs Sharepoint vs Drupal Commons
At Mediacurrent we often get requests to compare Drupal to other platforms used for intranet sites and social business platforms (like https://dev.twitter.com/ for example). This is often referred to as “Social Business Software”, which has grown in popularity in recent years. I decided to do a…
