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.

Centralized document governance has boosted collaboration and made knowledge sharing structured
SharePoint is a powerful platform, but there are a few areas where I think it could be improved, such as user experience. For new users, the interface and navigation can feel quite complex, specifically when working with multiple sites and document libraries. Another improvement would be search functionalities. While it is good sometimes, it does not always return the most relevant result unless a document is very well-structured and tagged. Also, initial setup and customizations can be time-consuming and may require technical expertise, specifically when configuring workflows or permissions. From a modern development perspective, tighter and more seamless integrations with tools including Power Automate and better support for custom backend integrations through APIs could make it more efficient. Overall, simplifying usability and enhancing search and integration capability would make SharePoint even stronger. One additional area I would appreciate improvement would be performance and responsiveness, especially when dealing with a large document library. Sometimes loading or navigating through large datasets can feel quite slow. Another aspect is permissions management. While it is very powerful, it can become complex to manage at scale, specifically when there are multiple levels of access across teams and projects. Improving developer experience would also be beneficial. Making customization, API integrations, and extensions more straightforward would help teams, especially backend developers, leverage SharePoint more efficiently.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"Using IQ Bot, we can extract more data out from the documents that are unstructured."
"Being able to implement automation is valuable. We take the business logic and provide a solution to the client. Defining the intelligence pipeline is the most interesting and challenging aspect for me."
"I have enjoyed using all the features of this tool, not just one feature, e.g., object cloning, Excel automation, and the web recorder."
"With Automation Anywhere, it has become very easy for us to do invoice billing. It has saved us about 80% of the time."
"The ability to automate renewals of government licenses four times a year is valuable."
"RPA implementation will be always fruitful, and return on investment will be always higher than the input costs."
"It eliminates redundant work from our offshore team to free up FTEs."
"We have the MetaBot feature, which is valuable because we can read reusable components in the MetaBot, then use them as a framework."
"Our contracts are moving through the process, from draft to full authorization, 340 percent faster than they did last year."
"SharePoint Search improved document searchability from different sources like file systems and Office 365."
"Helps with document collaboration and workflow."
"The most valuable feature of SharePoint is its ease of use."
"SharePoint is a big product with many features including customization flexibilities."
"Yes, especially reducing the print paper and having a very quick response, and reducing the time between department and people."
"Compared to other products, SharePoint is not only a content manager, but a wider product, like enterprise content management."
"It is a good tool that makes managing projects and teams much easier, with all documents and calendars in one central location."
"Being able to drop all the cloud service subscriptions saves a lot: the amount depends on how many of those services can be replaced."
 

Cons

"The interface is not intuitive for business users who are used to seeing the process on a flow chart, like a Visio workflow diagram. This may be because of the nature of the way the interface is structured and the way the functions are built in list type of format."
"I have had a couple of crashes and issues."
"There should be a way to avoid recoding everything whenever there's an upgrade to the latest version."
"It would be great if video analytics could be brought in as a third-party product integration or on the Automation Anywhere platform. I would like the video analytics to be integrated within the next two years. Right now, most people are using third-party tools. Video can be translated into an image and information can be picked up from that, then translated into meaningful insights to make decisions."
"AA has many features but the issue is with the loss of overhead on computing resources."
"Replacing the list of search options with voice commands for each item would be great."
"The initial setup was not that great. The road was very up and down. We struggled. A lot of the features were not compatible with applications which we are using. That was the reason. This was the initial days, we are talking about 2016 to 2017. The buzz was not as much as we are having now."
"Cost is the biggest area in need of improvement for Automation Anywhere. Annually it's $250,000."
"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."
"Flexibility and extensibility, above everything, could be improved."
"It tends to be unstable and slow when accessing different features."
"Processing data from multiple site collections is not easy as they reside in different databases."
"We'd like to be able to upload from MS Excel to deploy tasks and use drop-down lists to collect further information."
"One issue is that when users mistakenly hide files or set permissions incorrectly, it can lead to files becoming inaccessible, requiring intervention from Microsoft support to resolve."
"​The support is the worst. It is bad when Microsoft support does not even know what to do and you have to tell them. Also, they take too long to solve a problem.​"
"The solution lacks collaboration features."
"It would be nice if the platform made it easier to implement a complete document management process (digitalization, OCR, protocols, etc.) without the need to integrate software from different vendors."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Automation Anywhere University is pretty good. They make it available free for everyone."
"The cost for scalability is much cheaper than developing a new system."
"The solution is costly and the licensing is very confusing."
"It is not cheap, with costs ranging between 700 to 800 dollars per month. While Power Automate is cheaper at 15 dollars per month, Automation Anywhere offers superior features, user-friendliness, and smoothness."
"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."
"I am not involved in the pricing, but based on what I hear from our central RPA team, it is not very expensive; it is also not cheap. Its price is in the midrange."
"The licensing cost of Automation Anywhere is better than UiPath and Blue Prism."
"Because it reduced the time duration of our processes, our costs went down."
Information not available
"It is pretty reasonable. It is $5 per month per user. We have 12 users now, so it is about $60 per month."
"It comes bundled with the Microsoft 365 pricing plans."
"Any extended support from Microsoft is expensive."
"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."
"The product is reasonably priced."
"The replacement costs for it are cheaper if you use only SharePoint."
"The solution's pricing is relatively expensive because it's bundled with other products."
"It is very expensive.​"
