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.

Has improved analytics and reporting but needs better integration and support
To improve IBM Robotic Process Automation (RPA) for the next release, there should be more integration with external systems, and more integration with IBM's data and AI platforms is needed. There is an AI part in IBM Robotic Process Automation (RPA) for Machine Learning, but IBM has another platform specifically for data and AI, which is integrated right now. More features are hoped for in the future.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The organizations where we have implemented AA have seen tremendous benefits achieved in terms of time and cost-saving with the highest quality of deliverables."
"The most valuable feature is the SAP application and the DLLs that Automation Anywhere provides. These DLLs help automate the SAP application."
"The ability to build automation without coding is its most valuable feature."
"The tool is now more stable, with more opportunities and new commands, like recording for the UI or advanced Excel features."
"In some of our use cases, people were spending more than three hours per day just generating reports, and then we created an automation for this and it reduced the time to 30 minutes."
"Even as we were getting into RPA for the first time, I found it easy to understand this tool."
"The insights provided by the dashboard are excellent."
"Several manual, repetitive, time-consuming processes were automated, giving back time to the process owner, and for most of them the process now follows a single standard with additional controls created."
"ElectroNeek was extremely easy to use, especially its UI was easy to navigate with limited training."
"The drag and drop feature, which is no code, is very useful for me because I am not a technical person. It is very user-friendly."
"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 initial setup phase was easy."
"It's a very stable product."
"We find the OCR feature very valuable, due to the corrector recognition that it provides; this is very useful for document processing."
"We have found that it brings more efficiency and effectiveness to routine tasks."
"The most valuable feature is the price."
"The initial setup is straightforward."
"We are aiming, by the end of the year, to record about $10,000,000 in savings just by automating the processes that we have identified so far."
"If you have a business process, and once you have automated that process, you have a readily available workflow in place."
"I think simplicity is key. One of the things that we've noticed is how our developers have been able to quickly adopt the platform; but not only the developers or the techy people, also the business."
"It is a good tool for automation."
"The initial setup is very easy."
"Deployment is done in a small amount of time."
"Integrating the tool with SAP, EBS, or other ERPs is easy."
 

Cons

"In the 10.7 version, the back-end port for the MetaBot password has looping. This has been a type of limitation."
"Automation Anywhere can be improved by addressing the server issues we occasionally encounter when running the bot on the runner."
"We want it to work with more APIs. It needs to integrate with multiple APIs. That would be something that I would like going forward."
"The OCR component should allow integration with 3rd party OCR. This way we can use the best of breed solution along with AA or allow better control over OCR packages to be customized."
"The installation piece was sort of complicated because we are new to the business. We are new to installing Automation Anywhere services and the services that they are providing. So, we are sort of expected some kind of installation engineer to come onto our premises and provide the support, rather than remotely."
"For any tool, we have to consider that the evolving AI space is rapidly changing, and I believe Automation Anywhere can enhance its offerings to keep pace with developments in the AI sector, which presents a lot of room for improvements, but overall it is working well for us."
"The initial setup was quite complex. We have faced an issue. During the initial implementation stages, it took longer than we expected. It affected our timelines to a certain extent."
"They continue to release new features, but end users struggle to adapt to them."
"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."
"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."
"I think that this solution could improve remote desktop interactions."
"ElectroNeek comes with three activities and we cannot add activities like we can with uiPADs."
"The solution needs to improve its stability."
"The solution works well with Google Chrome, but not with Microsoft Edge, which is the browser we use for automation."
"Extensibility is the key, especially in terms of the Recorders feature that we have. That should be browser independent. Enhance it because some people have Chrome, some have Internet Explorer, etc. Also, integration with PDFs: Not just the ability to read information from PDFs but the ability to write information from PDFs, make it secure, sign it, etc. Finally, if they can allow a token exchange inside the tool itself, that would help."
"IBM’s support should improve response time."
"The product must be promoted more."
"Capturing GUI operations is very easy, but capturing IBM Logistics automation is hard. It does not always work with browsers or automotive applications like SAP."
"I would like to improve the efficiency of this solution and the Surface Level Agreement."
"Stability could be better."
"We are looking to see how it can connect with various interfaces seamlessly, through APIs."
"One of the things I would definitely like to see is more of the machine-learning and cognitive capabilities."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The cost of Automation Anywhere is high in Turkey due to the weak economy."
"We were required to purchase licenses and bot runners, which determined the permissible run times for the bots."
"We have seen the tangible benefits of taking monotonous work off people's plates, creating capacity, and cost reductions."
"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."
"The price of this product is good."
"If I compare it with Blue Prism, Automation Anywhere is cheaper. Blue Prism is very costly. Automation Anywhere's pricing follows the market, not less and not more."
"We just did a round of price comparison on a global scale and found it's so hard to compare the license prices. But, Automation Anywhere, in general, is on the same price level as the other vendors, a bit lower in some cases."
"The licensing cost could be improved. It costs a lot. At the very least, the developer licenses and the control panels should be made free to enterprises, and the production environment licensed."
"It's very affordable and the licensing is billed on a yearly basis."
"I believe we had a Silver Membership or something similar annually."
"My company has made a payment towards the purchase of a license from ElectorNeek."
"On a scale of one to ten, where one is cheap, and ten is expensive, I rate the pricing a seven."
"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."
"IBM RPA is cheaper than other tools."
"The license is paid annually."
"The product has a yearly licensing fee."
"There is a free trial for one month, so you can use it to run your payloads or proof of concept. After that, you can pay for the license on a monthly or annual basis."
"IBM licensing is annual and based on Virtual Processor Cores (VPC). This provides flexibility as part of the containerization environment."
"I rate the pricing ten out of ten. So, the pricing is very good for me."
"The pricing is reasonable for this solution."
"The product is reasonably priced compared to other tools."
