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

"I started my RPA journey with Automation Anywhere only because it is the best available solution in the market."
"The most valuable feature is the Excel operations because the most repetitive task which we used to do was Excel operations, and Automation Anywhere has the Excel commands feature where we can run Excel Macros, which is very valuable and is saving so much time for us."
"Automation Anywhere's most valuable features include generative AI, similar to Copilot, which will significantly benefit developers; low-code or no-code technology; and document automation capable of extracting data from structured and unstructured PDF formats, presenting it clearly and easy to follow."
"For the cash and bank reconciliation, we brought down amount of days it takes to do the reconciling and announcing the results; previously, it took 10 to 15 days, now it takes two days."
"We were working on a system called AS 400. Automation Anywhere performed well on that old system. It handled complicated processes. I had to review different menus and screens and give resources, storage, and databases. That's complicated."
"The most valuable features of this solution are its scalability, security using the credential vault, and ease of use for business."
"Automation Anywhere can easily be adopted and learnt."
"It has saved us a lot of hours, manual effort, and we can focus on more important tasks, which helps us with our ROI."
"Our contracts are moving through the process, from draft to full authorization, 340 percent faster than they did last year."
"The most valuable facet of SharePoint is the content, the ideas, all the information, all in one content management system."
"Easy management of content and portal and the document repository features are a distinguishing point compared to a file server."
"SharePoint has allowed our organization to effectively share important information across lines of business globally."
"We used to employ Oracle UCM, but we replaced it because of the features provided in SharePoint along with the customizations, flexibility and ease of creating websites, workflows, pages and applications."
"The ability to quickly and easily create team sites has been great."
"From my perspective, since I am a data professional and we have to keep a record of all the data as per our client's demand, SharePoint provides us a repository where we can keep all our data intact and updated."
"SharePoint is a great document management tool."
"Microsoft Office 365 has provided us many ways to share documents across a diversity of platforms with a diversity of people (both inside and outside our company)."
 

Cons

"Cost-wise, it should be reduced."
"The solution should have a more robust forum to help users navigate the solution, learn about it, and get help when they need it."
"With any new upgrades, we have to make changes in the codes. To us, this means that the tool is not stable. We have been told by Automation Anywhere that this will be fixed in future releases."
"There could be improvement in the reporting and insights into the ROI. The ROI tool that shows the performance and the return on investment is not very accurate."
"Some of the biggest improvements they can make are with the interface. It can be improved in terms of usability or searching for something. For example, icons are hard to find. Typically, you jump into the search box, but being able to go in and find things quickly with the eye could be very valuable."
"In the learning track, I was looking at the latest feature which is coming in A2019, which is very nice, because it is a web-based. So, we can do our development while sitting from anywhere. We don't need any type of installation. It's a web-based. Nowadays, everyone has the Internet."
"The IQ Bots need more out-of-the-box models to lessen the time required for model training. Their competitors provide more built-in models, which enhance capabilities in document processing."
"In the version that we have, there are some challenges with the browser-based applications, the cloning of the objects, and the solution's stability."
"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."
"For example, if you installed SharePoint on a virtual machine with dynamic memory, it could destroy the farm without any possibility of repairing it."
"Search integration across SharePoint, Yammer, Teams, and OneDrive."
"Special implementation and development should be easy."
"Setting up permissions can be overwhelming. If this can be improved it would be great."
"Achieving our goals in a multi-vendor project was not an easy task because of the 2010 UI."
"There are multiple areas with room for improvement: Scanning engine driver, mobile integration (just launched by MS, yet to be seen), stability."
"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."
"Better collaboration, and team sites (social flavour) mobile enabled More and improved integration capabilities into the eco-system of solutions available."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Whatever investment, licensing, and resource costs together are put in for development and delivery, we are still at an ROI of 250 percent."
"I don't deal have cost specifics but I can say it is a tool that provides value for the money."
"We have seen about a 10 percent monetary savings."
"Yearly, our licensing costs are about $90,000 to $100,000. There will be additional licensing costs when we add more Bot Runners to our infrastructure."
"Licensing for Automation Anywhere (AA) is paid on a yearly basis. Out of all the RPA tools, it has the most value for money, e.g. what you pay is what you get."
"The pricing strategy for us is one license for development. It is more complicated than that depending on the options you choose."
"There is an annual license to use the solution."
"Their licensing processes are in par with most industry standards."
Information not available
"The solution's pricing is relatively expensive because it's bundled with other products."
"SharePoint is included with our Microsoft license."
"The cost is expensive, but worthwhile."
"As usual, Microsoft’s licensing structures don’t really seem to fit the needs of their products. This leads to always paying for a project you will never use fully or always be adding to."
"It is pretty reasonable. It is $5 per month per user. We have 12 users now, so it is about $60 per month."
"They are about an eight in comparison to other similar products."
"It comes bundled with the Microsoft 365 pricing plans."
"The platform has medium pricing."
