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.

With an easy initial setup phase in place, the tool needs to provide functionalities like web scraping to users

It is a very scalable solution. In ElectroNeek, you can build your project in modular programming or with the use of sub-programs. You can have a lot of sub-programs that make up a whole project. If you don't wanna use the drag-and-drop activities, you can use JavaScript or Python instead. So it's very useful when you are working with things such as SPS. Actually, you can write scripts to support all the product functionalities with Python and manage the product's functions. You will find a company named Apollo Studios on the website of ElectroNeek. I think they are one of the best companies in South Africa that entered into a partnership with ElectroNeek.

Automate has streamlined workflows and increased efficiency with powerful automation

The best features of the solution are the flexible automation features, it is rich with beautiful connectors, and it is easy to use with little to no coding knowledge required to get started, so anybody can use the tool. The intuitive interface of Automate has an intuitive design, which makes it easy to learn and use even without a strong technical background, and it has a drag-and-drop interface, which makes everything so easy and straightforward. The error handling capabilities in complex automation tasks are powerful, as it handles all types of tasks, whether complex or simple. I've never faced any problems even when dealing with complex tasks, so everything is super smooth and highly reliable, even when dealing with big tasks, as it has never slowed down. Automate's compatibility with existing IT infrastructure has impacted our business operations positively by providing smooth integration with other software that we use, such as Gmail, Jira, and Microsoft 365 apps, which gives us a unified platform instead of having to keep switching from one software to another, saving a lot of time and streamlining the whole workflows. The automated analytics have helped improve our business processes since it has increased our efficiency by automating our everyday tasks, freeing up time for us to focus more on strategic activities such as analyzing data and developing new business strategies. It is also cost-saving. By minimizing manual labor, it decreases human errors that can lead to costly mistakes. By automating the tasks, it helps to save costs, and it also improves our accuracy by reducing these errors to ensure that tasks are done almost perfectly.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The ease of access and deployment are the most valuable features."

"Automation Anywhere saves time and money."

"Human errors have been rectified due to bot usage."

"Without thinking twice, I would recommend going for Automation Anywhere."

"Automation Anywhere is definitely scalable in several ways; it's easy and accessible, it's designed the best — almost perfect."

"We're finding time savings as a benefit. One example would be a customer service rep who might get a question about an order, and it's usually through email. It can take a good three to seven business days to answer a customer's question about their order. When we automate it, it takes hours, if not minutes."

"What I appreciate the most about Automation Anywhere is that the tool is very robust."

"The most valuable features are ease of use and deployment."

More Automation Anywhere pros

"We find the OCR feature very valuable, due to the corrector recognition that it provides; this is very useful for document processing."

"ElectroNeek was extremely easy to use, especially its UI was easy to navigate with limited training."

"My favorite feature is that you can have unlimited bots without having to buy more licenses. That's a powerful option for scalability."

"The product's setup is straightforward."

"The cost is the best thing about ElectroNeek."

"The product's initial setup phase was easy."

"It's a very stable product."

"The solution is user-friendly with a really good UI and ID."

More ElectroNeek pros

"The licensing of the product is very good; you only need to license it once and then you have it forever, which makes the product quite affordable."

"The best features in Fortra's Automate include centralized job orchestration and reliable scheduling, along with role-based security and audit trails, which I value the most about this product."

"Fortra's Automate has effectively replaced the workload of an entire employee, saving us significant time and money."

"We have found the pricing to be very reasonable."

"We are still in the process of rolling it to production and tweaking it (our AD groups are a mess), but the improvements are priceless. Having users ID's created the same way every time without human error is the best part. We don't need to worry about why groups were not added, user rights not set to folders or missing a private folder being created, typos or just even knowing when things are done and logged."

"I would rate the technical support as a nine out of ten because it is quite fast and courteous."

"The benefits I have gained from using Fortra's Automate include reduced manual intervention, saving a lot of time and enabling me to accomplish much more work than would have been possible with individuals, with very minimal errors."

"The drag and drop workflow builder is what I genuinely appreciate about Fortra's Automate, as it allows me to sketch out logic the way I am thinking about it, is visual, reduces the back and forth of writing scripts from scratch, and is quite friendly for people who are not hardcore developers."

More Fortra's Automate pros

Cons

"I would like more cognitive abilities, artificial intelligence, and machine learning."

"There's a loss of overhead on the computing resources in Automation Anywhere. If you have an encrypted bot, the Automation Anywhere software has to read it first, decrypt it, and run it. So there is a potential that, if the logic of the bot isn't good enough, a lot of CPU and memory overload will happen. This is something which Automation Anywhere should look at because it takes a lot of computing resources. I have seen CPUs running at 100 percent."

"One way Automation Anywhere can be improved is in ticketing."

"If I want to do something that is more purely business-related and is somewhat complex to write or is nuanced, I sometimes have trouble implementing that inside of the Automation Anywhere script. I feel limited at times with some of the looping and some of the branching and some of the ways to make procedure calls when I have a complex business issue."

"If you were to come to me and ask for an OCR to be done, I could only guarantee you about eighty percent accuracy."

"Unfortunately, this process was not used for a long time due to latency issues and a functionality gap."

"We do not have a precise area that needs improvement, but sometimes while running bots that traverse through different websites, the screen hangs or takes time to fully load."

"The Control room audit logs should be moved to an archive for those that are more than six months old."

More Automation Anywhere cons

"I think that this solution could improve remote desktop interactions."

"It's not applicable to very large enterprises and for difficult work or more complex processes."

"When I wanted to use web scraping for tables in web applications, I found through online forums that such functionality or activity is currently not working as it shows."

"The pricing is an area with a shortcoming, and from an improvement perspective, it needs to be made cheaper."

"The integrating capability of the product needs to be improved, to ensure that it works with all systems involved in a process."

"The solution needs to improve its stability."

"Its price could definitely be lower."

"The solution works well with Google Chrome, but not with Microsoft Edge, which is the browser we use for automation."

More ElectroNeek cons

"Automate could simplify the UI for creating a workflow for automation. As a technical person, I can understand it easily. However, there are few activities in the software that our HR department cannot understand."

"The interface could be more user-friendly and easier to navigate."

"Areas for improvement in Automate would be a more modern web-based workflow designer, an enhanced real-time monitoring dashboard, and built-in API integration tools for REST and SOAP."

"The documentation for errors needs improvement as many of the error messages we receive are very vague."

"The interface of Fortra's Automate is similar to GoAnywhere; I am not completely pleased with it, although it is intuitive, but it lacks something in terms of complexity."

"I find that most important features are strong, however, there is a lack of good development for artificial intelligence, such as machine learning."

"The areas that have room for improvement in Fortra's Automate include the reporting and analytics functionality, where the analytics could be more detailed."

"I would like to see some better web automation, a wizard like the one in the product WinAutomation would be very nice."

More Fortra's Automate cons

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The solution itself is free unless we want to add the support option but we have to pay for the bots we use."

"Initially, they charged a premium, but now the rest of the vendors have increased their overall pricing and Automation Anywhere is not that high at this time. It's pretty viable."

"As our team size increases, we may get some more licenses for the tool."

"We save approximately 10,000 hours per year."

"There is an annual subscription for Automation Anywhere."

"They sell it by license, but if they could charge by case or by interaction, that might be better. Right now, it's expensive when you want to scale or use them for simple processes."

"We have purchased licenses, but are trying to obtain more bot programmer licenses."

"We have reduced our headcount, approximately 200 to 300 employees, by eliminating manual, repetitive work. It provides profit to the business."

More Automation Anywhere pricing and cost advice

"On a scale of one to ten, where one is cheap, and ten is expensive, I rate the pricing a seven."

"It's very affordable and the licensing is billed on a yearly basis."

"My company has made a payment towards the purchase of a license from ElectorNeek."

"I believe we had a Silver Membership or something similar annually."

"Its price could definitely be lower. Its licensing is on a yearly basis. There is no additional cost to the standard licensing fees."

"I give the price an eight out of ten."

"It comes with a package that costs approximately $20,000 USD per year."

"Compared to other products, the pricing model for this solution is much more convenient, flexible, and adaptable to the Portuguese reality."

"Once you buy the software, you just pay for the support for backend help."

"From a distributor's side, one of the biggest selling points is its price point. Without going into any numbers, compared to UiPath, Automation Anywhere, and Blue Prism, we're significantly cheaper. The main difference is that other competitors usually charge you per process. However, in Automate's case, it's priced per bot. So, a bot can run multiple processes at the same time, but you are only priced for a single bot."

"While solutions like UiPath and Blue Prism cost around $11,000-$12,000 for each license, this product costs around $7,000 and you can keep it forever."

"I like the way this solution is priced because you can buy a license, or you can buy the software outright."

"It has gone up in price. The price of Fortra's Automate has increased since we first started using it. It does a lot but also costs a lot. It was a lot more affordable before Fortra owned the software."

"From a distributor's perspective, one of the biggest selling points of Automate is its price point."
