Venkat Sivaprakash

Management Consultant at Accenture

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.

Corporate Development Specialist at a tech vendor with 10,001+ employees

Offers a user-friendly interface but lacks enterprise-level features

EdgeVerve AssistEdge RPA is not difficult to deploy and the process was fine. Concerning deployment time, it usually takes one or two days. It totally depends upon the number of use cases and the processes where we are implementing. It might take weeks as well, depending upon the process in which we are implementing.

RPA Technical Solution Lead at Infomentum

Helps automate processes but needs to offer different licensing models to users

Right now, I am not working on process mining at the minute. Before I switched to the company, I worked extremely closely with the process mining tool from UiPath, SAP BTP, and the process mining that they had created. I am working with MuleSoft Automation and Anypoint. We are not doing any sort of process mining at the minute, but in my company, because MuleSoft is one of the only RPA tools that we are looking at, we have another application called Appian that we are trying to explore now. Appian has process mining capability, which is why we thought we would look at it along with AI capabilities.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"On average, the return that I've seen is about three dollars for every dollar spent on RPA."

"All RPA tools used in the market have similar features and aspects that can be developed, however, specifically for Automation Anywhere, the ready-to-use templates which can be used as plug and play are a great feature."

"I'd say there are new useful features that will definitely help us as we do more development in the near future."

"It is very easy for anybody to learn."

"AA allows you to create processes using 3 types of robots: Task Bot, Meta Bot, and IQ Bot. Instead of rewriting redundant code for processes, a meta bot can be used instead. This type of robot is best used for complex scalable processes. IQ Bot: The most powerful of the 3 types of robots is the IQ Bot."

"The way it integrates with subsystems is impressive. When automating business processes, there might be multiple systems in use. Automation Anywhere provides various ways to connect, such as by directly using backend APIs or using the frontend. This is incredibly useful."

"AARI is very convenient, and that is their biggest selling point."

"Because of this product's features, I would rate Automation Anywhere as a game changer."

More Automation Anywhere pros

"The features of EdgeVerve AssistEdge RPA that customers find most helpful include the easy understanding and good UI/UX."

"There are some typical features I like such as email automation, XL automation, some AI/ML capabilities that are evolving, but are not quite mature yet, and I like the website automation."

"AssistEdge made it so that the reps didn't need to maneuver through 10 or 20 different systems. We tied all that together in the background, so the reps had a shared UI, and everything else happened in the background without their knowledge. When they were retrieving data, it was done in the background through automation and pulling up to that generic UI layer"

"The tool follows a role-based working model to create things. It helps to track what others are doing with the system."

"EdgeVerve AssistEdge RPA is more affordable than UiPath."

"The user interface is not complicated, even for new users. Two to three weeks is enough to get ahold of it."

"The feature I like the most is the ability to capture elements easily, especially when automating web-based applications. Additionally, I find the SAP connectors to be quite beneficial."

"Good email automation and XL automation."

"Contextor is a good solution for a Citrix environment. It's the first with this tool. Other tools provide the same functionality, but not with the Citrix environment."

"Scalability is fine. It is pretty nice."

"Most of the details are already in the help portal and SAP notes are available. It is well documented as part of the product support."

"It is a stable solution...It is a scalable solution."

"SAP Contextor has improved our organization by giving us better operational efficiency."

"The most valuable feature of SAP Contextor is that everyone is in one place in the program that I need."

"The initial setup of SAP Contextor is easy."

"The standout features of SAP Intelligent RPA are its flexibility and integration capabilities."

More SAP Intelligent RPA pros

Cons

"I would like to see web and cloud-based platforms for future releases."

"Automation Anywhere could be improved by staying more current with Microsoft products through packages."

"The initial setup was a bit difficult and took more time than expected."

"I would like to see a comment feature that allows you to embed comments/notes into an action sidebar, without having to actually take up a line of code in order to write such a statement."

"If I build a bot today and don't use it, however, in several months, someone tries to use it, there's a 30-40% change the bot will fail in one or two areas."

"There's potential for Automation Anywhere to integrate conversational types of tools and AI into their tool set, which would be really valuable."

"If there were one thing I could ask for it would be a text-based language. Right now it's proprietary, so you always have to go through the tool, even for things like basic compares."

"My experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing has been mixed."

More Automation Anywhere cons

"In my opinion, areas for improvement in this solution lie in handling documentation, especially when dealing with data from various layouts or formats like scanned PDFs. Currently, new features are emerging in other tools, like generative AI, that could enhance these aspects."

"There should be more activities like extraction for reading or converting PDFs. There are fewer activities compared to other tools. There are no custom activities."

"Lacks integration with third party tools."

"AssistEdge isn't a simple tool like Blue Prism or other RPA solutions with configurable items that you can drag and drop. This involved a lot of hard coding, which posed two challenges. One, we did not have that skillset, so we depended on Infosys. Two, it's a beast to go back and update or make changes when things are hard coded because you can't just move those configurable items back around."

"We provide them with consulting and strategy advisory services, but we have never recommended any organization to use EdgeVerve AssistEdge RPA."

"The solution could be improved if it provided integration with third party tools like Python, native integration, which is very important."

"The tool's alternatives work on drag-and-drop functionality without creating custom code. We don't have an in-built queue system and use RabbitMQ for it. The solution also doesn't have a framework."

"The tool's licensing has been kind of a challenge...At the moment, the tool does not offer different licensing models to users."

"There should be more of an error, like a proper error feature, in future releases. Sometimes, we don't understand why that automation is not learning what, like, where it is stuck, or what is the reason like, or what is the criteria we are missing to add. So a proper error message would be helpful."

"I found that the SAP scripting of a program is easier than SAP Contextor."

"The support is expensive."

"For potential features or improvements, one aspect I would suggest enhancing is the flexibility of the extraction process."

"SAP Contextor could improve by automating some processes."

"I would like to see a better capacity for unstructured data, for example, PDF, or text within images."

"The initial setup is of medium complexity. It is neither too hard nor too simple. You need some background in SAP and an understanding of it."

More SAP Intelligent RPA cons

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Automation Anywhere has an advantage in terms of licensing. It is more cost-efficient compared to all other RPA platforms. It is a recommended solution when clients need a cost-efficient automation tool to perform unattended automation."

"We have seen ROI on one of the process, but not on the other processes yet."

"On a yearly basis, our licensing costs are about $80,000. There are no additional costs beyond the standard licensing fees."

"We were required to purchase licenses and bot runners, which determined the permissible run times for the bots."

"I would rate the price of Automation Anywhere a six out of ten, with ten being the most expensive."

"It costs up to $1,200 per license."

"We were paying approximately $30,000 for a year license."

"I would like them to have better license management."

More Automation Anywhere pricing and cost advice

"EdgeVerve AssistEdge RPA is cheaper compared to other RPA tools."

"The initial cost might seem higher, but over time, with continued use over five or ten years, the cost tends to decrease, making it a more economical choice."

"The pricing is not that expensive. It is manageable."

"This is not a tool or software with a license as others are. The SaaS model is based on the usage of the tool."

"It all comes with a bundle right now. Having advanced features, it is competitively priced."
