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.

Developed and deployed AI agents through a unified platform that supports integration with enterprise systems

We used AutoML feature for developing AI models automatically, but we are not comfortable with the performance of those models. We have to do some fine-tuning, hyperparameter optimization, and other optimizations to enhance the performance of the AI models. We are not fully leveraging the automation being provided by Google Vertex AI for building AI models. Google Vertex AI has to be enhanced to support agentic AI system development. AI agents have to be developed through Google Vertex AI. Additionally, RAG support, vector database support, knowledge graph support, integration with enterprise systems such as ERP, CRM, PLM, MES, and other enterprise systems need improvement. Automated workflow generation and automation could also be enhanced. At this point, we are completely satisfied with the features and functionalities of Google Vertex AI platform, but as we move towards autonomous systems through agentic AI paradigm, Google Vertex AI platform needs to be improved to facilitate agentic AI system design, development, deployment, monitoring, observability, governance, and security.

Document processing has accelerated contract reviews and enabled rapid development of AI-driven supply chain solutions

With regard to security, compliance, or governance features in Azure AI Foundry, this is something that we have started looking into, primarily using Microsoft Purview for our governance, data governance. There is this new module called DSPM for AI, and we are exploring it while trying to operationalize it with different policies and so forth, but we're still not where we want to be on the governance, AI governance side. It's a process and a path, and we are trying to work through that right now. Azure AI Foundry can be improved from the governance perspective, as a lot can be done. The promising part is the recent announcement on the Foundry control plane. A couple of days back, there was an announcement regarding it bringing in some of the gaps that were on the platform, so it's a really positive direction in terms of where it's going. More governance is what is lacking, but the control plane will really play a big role there.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"We can access it anywhere. E.g., I can access dashboard from my Control Room on my mobile app using Automation Anywhere."

"In the finance department, this solution has saved us a lot of money."

"Automation Anywhere has helped us with efficiency and accuracy."

"The most valuable feature is its Excel integration."

"We have seen increased productivity, because what used to take about two days to finish with laymen doing computer work, a bot can finish within a seven to eight hour time frame, meaning we are removing a lot of man-hours."

"Within one minute we can view more than one thousand students and their results."

"Error handling plays an important role when you schedule a bot because if you are not physically present and something happens, you need to know what has gone wrong."

"The ease of use of getting started is probably the big thing. They had a lot of references that we were able to check. It is a well-known player, and being able to get up and running quickly was the big thing."

More Automation Anywhere pros

"Google Vertex AI is better for deployment, configuration, delivery, licensing, and integration compared to other AI platforms."

"The best feature of Google Vertex AI is the ease of use, along with the integration with the rest of the Google ecosystem and the way models can be made available outside Google through endpoints."

"Vertex comes with inbuilt integration with GCP for data storage."

"The integration of AutoML features streamlines our machine-learning workflows."

"The most valuable feature we've found is the model garden, which allows us to deploy and use various models through the provided endpoints easily."

"Vertex AI possesses multiple libraries, so it eliminates the need for extensive coding."

"The monitoring feature is a true life-saver for data scientists. I give it a ten out of ten."

"The most useful function of Google Vertex AI for me is the ease of integration, as we can easily create a prompt and integrate it into our current system."

More Gemini Enterprise Agent Platform pros

"Azure AI Foundry has affected our management of privacy, performance, and compliance primarily based on our location in the UK, where it is more focused on the region in terms of where that data is being processed and who has access to it, which is hopefully no one other than us."

"In my evaluation process, I found that Microsoft Azure AI Foundry is much more accessible compared to AWS on model selection and the capabilities of using Document Intelligence versus Textract were much better."

"In general, I think being able to set up something like this with Microsoft Foundry is quite neat."

"Microsoft Foundry has significantly reduced development cycles for AI applications and agents."

"Azure AI Foundry has helped reduce the time taken for AI app and agent development cycles by approximately 50% for one use case."

"These features have benefited our organization by allowing us to release new products and new offerings this year, accelerate our growth, and quickly drive our AI agents into customers' hands."

"It is flexible, it is scalable, and it is a solid product, and that is the advice I would give to others looking into using Microsoft Foundry."

More Microsoft Foundry pros

Cons

"For the short term, in this pandemic era, they should have a feature to write and save directly into Word documents, Office 365, or Google Docs."

"I would definitely say Citrix automation is one area we have continued to struggle with for the last two months."

"One area that Automation Anywhere can improve is the debugging experience."

"It should have more commands, which should remove the dependency on MetaBots or other scripts so that everything is available in the tool itself."

"On the cognitive side, some of their competitors, when we were originally shopping, were a little more advanced in that space. Making use of probabilistic outcomes and presenting them to a business user is a feature that, at the time of our evaluation, did not feel like a strong, mature solution for Automation Anywhere. Nevertheless, they won our business. That is one feature where I feel they are trying to make investments to address those gaps."

"It is not as easy to implement as advertised. It is difficult across the board. It is difficult for technical and non-technical users."

"In Automation Anywhere, the logging process is manual. We have to manually log each instance where the bot fails or the progress of a task. Automating this through a new feature would help developers simplify their development process."

"Automation Anywhere should implement this feature. They should also decrease their cost."

More Automation Anywhere cons

"I believe that Vertex AI is a robust platform, but its effectiveness depends significantly on the domain knowledge of the developer using it. While Vertex AI does offer support through the console UI in the Google Cloud environment, it is better suited for technical members who have a deeper understanding of machine learning concepts. The platform may be challenging for business process developers (BPDUs) who lack extensive technical knowledge, as it involves intricate customization and handling numerous parameters. Effectively utilizing Vertex AI requires not only familiarity with machine learning frameworks like TensorFlow or PyTorch but also a proficiency in Python programming. The complexity of these requirements might pose challenges for less technically oriented users, making it crucial to have a solid foundation in both machine learning principles and Python coding to extract the full value from Vertex AI. It would be beneficial to have a streamlined process where we can leverage the capabilities of Vertex AI directly through the BigQuery UI. This could involve functionalities such as creating machine learning models within the BigQuery UI, providing a more user-friendly and integrated experience. This would allow users to access and analyze data from BigQuery while simultaneously utilizing Vertex AI to build machine learning models, fostering a more cohesive and efficient workflow."

"It would be beneficial to have certain features included in the future, such as image generators and text-to-speech solutions."

"I think the technical documentation is not readily available in the tool."

"Google can improve Google Vertex AI in terms of analysis and accuracy. When passing a very large context, instead of receiving vague responses, it would be better if the system could prompt users not to pass overly large prompts and provide clearer guidance on how to fine-tune Gemini for specific use cases."

"I'm not sure if I have suggestions for improvement."

"It is not completely mature and needs some features and functions. The interface needs to be more user-friendly."

"The tool's documentation is not good. It is hard."

"Google Vertex AI is quite complex to navigate and to start services with, as I need to do a lot of iterations to finally activate the services, which is one major flaw, although it is powerful."

More Gemini Enterprise Agent Platform cons

"My experience with deploying Azure AI Foundry is that, at this point in time, given the limited capabilities available in Foundry, we built pro-code agents, hosted them, containerized them, and deployed them."

"The deployment process for Azure AI Foundry has been very challenging. There are many issues with policies, and because we have very stringent controls, we need to know exactly how Azure AI Foundry works before we can deploy it."

"Even though I have only been utilizing Azure AI Foundry for the past four months, I think the understanding between Copilot Studio and Azure AI Foundry is still somewhat unclear regarding which one to use when and why, and how they complement each other is a journey we are currently undertaking."

"I find that the online documentation can sometimes be confusing, requiring extensive searching through multiple articles to locate specific information."

"I do see some disadvantages that could be improved. The document management side of it needs work."

"My experience with Azure AI Foundry's pricing, setup cost, and licensing was a mess."

"There is always scope for improvement regarding Azure AI Foundry, but I am still in exploring mode."

"I was not able to complete my original goal to set up a running endpoint that I could use with my application."

Pricing and Cost Advice

"It is reasonable and affordable. If you consider the tasks that we can get done using this, the pricing is reasonable and affordable."

"The pricing for Automation Anywhere is reasonable."

"If you look at the capital expenditure, Automation Anywhere is number two to UiPath. But if you take a long-term view, on a scalable model of a large number of bots coming out, it slowly goes on to become the costliest tool. There is something they can do about that. The capital expenditure goes out right at the point of buying the tool. For Automation Anywhere, I would need to spend $20,000. UiPath can give me something for $6,000, while Blue Prism will come in at $300,000."

"The licensing cost of Automation Anywhere is better than UiPath and Blue Prism."

"In the Indian market, I feel that for mid-size companies, such as ourselves, that having multiple bots costs a lot. If Automation Anywhere wants to expand in the Indian market, they will need to look at their pricing."

"Automation Anywhere offers a subscription-based licensing model for cloud, on-premises, and hybrid deployments."

"It's somewhat pricier than some of the other tools that we've used, and the breakout between the different applications is also somewhat costly. If they can make it a little more cost-effective or bundle packages a little bit more, that would be beneficial."

"It's cheaper than other similar solutions."

More Automation Anywhere pricing and cost advice

"The Versa AI offers attractive pricing. With this pricing structure, I can leverage various opportunities to bring value to my business. It's a positive aspect worth considering."

"The price structure is very clear"

"The solution's pricing is moderate."

"I think almost every tool offers a decent discount. In terms of credits or other stuff, every cloud provider provides a good number of incentives to onboard new clients."
