Nadeem K. - PeerSpot reviewer
Rpa Developer at a consultancy with 11-50 employees
Automation has freed teams from repetitive finance and supply tasks and supports global operations
In the current organization, we had trouble initially because I think the documentation and support could be better than what it is now. This is one difference between Automation Anywhere and other RPA tools such as UiPath. In UiPath, if you have an issue, you go to the UiPath website and search for it, and you get lots of help materials. In Automation Anywhere, you do not get exactly what you are looking for. You get a very large number of results when you search for something, and from this large result set, you have to filter out what you need, or only partial information will be available. User handbooks are available for each product. In that regard, I would say Automation Anywhere is lagging compared to other RPA tools. It is difficult to get hold of their customer support team. I want to clarify that it is not a matter of us building logic on Automation Anywhere and it failing. When it is a product-related issue, they have to give us support because we only know how to develop within Automation Anywhere. We do not know how to fix Automation Anywhere itself. Whenever we have an issue, trying to get in touch with them always takes three to four business days.

Stable with good cross-integration between modules, but the training needs to be improved
We mainly use UiPath as our RPA platform. I have looked at several other solutions that include the bigger ones, Blue Prism, and Automation Anywhere. We have experience in developing bots in all three of these. It is difficult to move from UiPath to EdgeVerve when UiPath is so good at getting people in the door. They've got a great ecosystem and a great training model. Every other system is more challenging to use. To get an EdgeVerve license, for example, you need to have an NDA in place to use it. Blue Prism is even worse, although, with them, you just have to pay more money. By not democratizing the software and the way to utilize it, smaller companies like EdgeVerve and even Blue Prism, to a certain extent, have suffered in terms of growth. The three leaders at the top do a pretty good job. Outside of workflow, they do a pretty good job, and that's why the customers buy, so you have to be strong on those. As far as the tools are concerned, RPA is RPA, and everybody generally does it in the same way. What is probably going to start distinguishing between products is the use of AI. When AI really overtakes the selectors for RDA, robotic desktop automation, when you have to really rely on the backdrop of the DOM to get at the element, the use of AI and more efficient on-prem AI solutions is going to really make that a better experience. The on-premises distinction is important because there's latency when you hit the cloud. Ultimately, to me, the toolsets are all the same. Drag and drop, the ability to create custom activities in terms of creating your libraries, and that kind of thing, they're all there. This past year has been ridiculous in terms of how all of the tools have progressed. What they were a year ago versus what they are today, is a considerable and significant difference. For example, I have totally redesigned my solutions and architectures over the past year.

Automation has transformed document processing and frees teams to focus on higher‑value analysis
Sometimes, we encounter system errors that could be resolved via support, but connection issues are more frequent in enterprise applications. However, these can usually be solved by raising tickets if you are part of an enterprise, though we are not, which makes it somewhat challenging. It is vital to ensure the connections of UiPath Platform are maintained because it has a larger community. If UiPath Platform website included more features and documentation accessible easily, it would greatly enhance the experience. Instead of continually needing to raise support tickets, having a documentation hub where details can just be entered to retrieve required documents would be extremely beneficial.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"We have started to see the ROI, as activities in which resources in my team would have taken four to five hours are now done in 30 minutes."
"This is a perfect solution for us and Automation Anywhere helps us to close many deals."
"The Automation Anywhere software has improved our organization by moving us into the RPA climate and allowing us to save on our overhead."
"Automation Anywhere has positively impacted my organization by cutting our end-to-end processing cycle by over 60% and virtually eliminating manual reconciliation errors across high-volume workflows."
"The application replaced about three employees for the OFAC verification processes, thus eliminating the need to hire more people for those tasks."
"Once we implemented the Automation Anywhere into my company, we freed up a lot of their time, so they could work on other processes."
"I find the terminal emulator feature very valuable, particularly in how it interacts with IBM mainframe automation."
"Implementation of Automation Anywhere (AA) allows us to automate business processes and has brought productivity gains, error reduction, and speed of execution in multiple HR and Finance operations."
"EdgeVerve is a bit like Appian, where they have full suites that have a great deal of functionality."
"I would say that the cross-integration between different modules, such as between the OCR, RPA, and ML, is the most valuable feature."
"The product has freed up employee time - and it's not just the employee time. We do have some triggers that run. Some jobs are run that people use to manually do at night and weekends. We also don't have to hire additional people just to learn 80 different types of things in a claim and identify correctness manually. The robots will go through and then they can identify if there are specific things that are wrong. That part will go to our experts and they'll review those exact issues."
"The most valuable feature of this solution is the training that is available."
"The initial deployment using the UiPath Platform was actually easy."
"I found the UiPath Academy very valuable and it has helped us to understand the product we are working with."
"In the healthcare sector, we have automated reconciliation processes that previously took one to three days down to just four hours, significantly reducing human error and improving ROI."
"The platform is open, and we can connect it to other technologies. We connect it to SAP using the SAP Connector. We are also using intelligent OCR technology to read receipts."
"The overall UiPath platform, including the Orchestrator, Studio, and the robots, is valuable. UiPath's competitors don't do orchestration as well."
"Compared to other solutions, training is very valuable; you can easily access the resources, there is a community edition which is a plus and something that other tools don't offer, and accessibility is the best feature."
 

Cons

"I would like to have a bot as a service platform on AA Cloud."
"Having fewer connection instances would make it more secure, more simple to troubleshoot, and possibly more flexible with the type of applications in use."
"A standardized improvement area for any RPA tool is making it more user-friendly. This can be done by allowing users to give instructions in their language. For example, one should be able to say in his or her language to automate the login page of the XYZ application. It should be able to create a flow based on the information or screenshots that the user provides."
"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."
"They need to improve the speed. It runs too slowly."
"The product is not working sometimes with the methods we prefer."
"Operationally, there's room for improvement, especially in the area of high-availability and deployment."
"More interactions with PDFs would be great for Automation Anywhere."
"Better training and better accessibility of the tools are the things that need to be improved."
"UiPath needs to improve its documentation. AI Fabric's installation was an absolute nightmare. I tried to get help from the documentation portal and couldn't find what I was looking for."
"I would like better stability and possibly some tools to determine why robots are failing."
"While it excels at handling structured and repeatable tasks, it struggles with those requiring human judgment or intervention."
"Areas of this solution that have room for improvement are a couple of activities that have issues."
"UiPath Platform has positively impacted our organization by allowing us to handle outages more effectively. In the past, whenever an outage occurred, we were the ones raising the case with the UiPath Platform technical support team before they noticed it, and it should be identified by the UiPath Platform team first, then communicated to all business users and the platform team—this is a significant disadvantage of UiPath Platform Application Support."
"With on-prem, we cannot utilize all the new features such as AI Agent or many functions on the cloud."
"Some of the documentation that UiPath has around the technical specifications, from a security perspective, are very factual and comprehensive, but they don't have an audience, like CIOs who need to approve this solution. Therefore, the documentation is one area where I might smooth the process out a bit, since the audience is different from the way the documentation is written as technical specifications."
"There should be some more activities that can replace others where coding is required."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"More than 40 to 50 percent of the IT budget will be for the cost of automation projects in the coming years since these projects enhance operations add value."
"It is the most economically friendly and it provides you with a lot of functions."
"We generally follow the Gain-Sharing Pricing model, which enables the customer to start getting the RPA benefits right from day one of their implementation."
"We are interested in saving manual engineer man-hours. So far, we have saved $100,000."
"Our annual licensing costs for the entire company are $100,000."
"They are already coming out with a community license, which is really good. That's something that I wish to have."
"This is a comprehensive automation offering with a scalable architecture and flexible pricing models."
"It is subscription-based. They have different schemes. The price depends on how you negotiate with the local partner or local representative in your country."
Information not available
"I would like to have transparency in pricing. We're creating a lot of robotic process automation use cases all over the place. I'm never really clear on what the pricing model is and the skews."
"This solution is not cheap but the price is worth it because by following the documentation and using the support, you get good robotic processes that are stable."
"When there's a massive deployment of robots, pricing for UiPath becomes costly, as you must purchase different licenses for UiPath Studio, Orchestrator, etc."
"The product is not the cheapest."
"Different licenses are used to activate features that the organization wants to use. For example, they offer licenses for UiPath Studio X, attended automation, unattended automation, document understanding, and so forth."
"The tool's pricing depends on its use. It is expensive."
"It is based on the use case. If the use case needs several bots, it gets expensive."
"The Community Edition is free for everyone and you get all the features, but there is a limitation on the number of bots. The Enterprise Edition is a bit costly for the advanced features."
