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

"Its ease of deployment is the most valuable feature. We have found with many customers that it's quite easy to deploy."
"The most valuable features of this solution are its scalability, security using the credential vault, and ease of use for business."
"Automation Anywhere overall is a great tool for automation, as it provides a lot of flexibility to work with different other applications."
"If we talk about the automation RPA, it definitely has worked very well for us, giving good savings of more than 180 FTEs after implementing more than 200 plus bots."
"The most valuable feature is its Excel integration."
"I think that one of the coolest features that what Automation Anywhere has come up with is AI Sense. I see an immense potential there. Using AI Sense, we can automate outside Citrix. That's going to remove the client dependency or overall automation journey, and that can give lot of optimization, cost saving, and the time to market."
"Our first automation removed manual work from employees, so they are now able to more quickly product quality work."
"Automation Anywhere is a good platform with extensive capabilities that has innovated and kept their platform more centered and relevant in the market by introducing AI and agentic capabilities."
"The integration of AutoML features streamlines our machine-learning workflows."
"Google Vertex AI is better for deployment, configuration, delivery, licensing, and integration compared to other AI platforms."
"The most valuable features of the solution are that it is quite flexible, and some of the services are almost low-code, with no-code services, so it gives agents flexibility to build the use cases according to the operational needs."
"With just one single platform, Google Vertex AI platform, we can achieve everything; we need not switch over to multiple tools, multiple platforms, as everything can be accomplished through this one single platform for integration with existing workflows, systems, tools, and databases."
"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."
"The features I have found most valuable in Google Vertex AI are Gemini's large language models, which are currently among the best, and the vision tool of Gemini, which I consider quite good."
"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."
"Vertex AI possesses multiple libraries, so it eliminates the need for extensive coding."
"The most beneficial feature for enhancing our customer experience is that it is easy to use for them and for us to implement."
"What I appreciate most about Azure AI Foundry is that for a single agent flow, the platform provides the ability to build agents quickly, which demonstrates the ease of use for a single agent workflow."
"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."
"The benefit of using Azure AI Foundry for the organization is saving time, so saving time and then making money—now that we have this, many people were not doing this because it took them so long to do that research, that has been fixed."
"The feature of Azure AI Foundry that I prefer most is the guardrails, as it is much easier than the one that Bedrock in AWS provides."
"The features of Azure AI Foundry that I appreciate the most include the containment of all the agents and the ability to see all agents in a single dashboard and to have access to all of them from one portal."
"Azure AI Foundry has helped reduce the time taken for AI app and agent development cycles by approximately 50% for one use case."
"Azure AI Foundry makes it very straightforward, as I do not have to write thousands of lines of code; I rely on GitHub Copilot and Azure AI Foundry."

This includes adding some artificial intelligence on the way that bots actually can read the screen and know when things change and be able to adapt to those changes."
"In Mexico, where our company is based, we face issues regarding obtaining new licenses, as this has to be done through a third-party company."
"The product is not working sometimes with the methods we prefer."
"For future prospects, this tool should 80 percent deal with neural networks, deep learning, and artificial intelligence and that has to be integrated a lot. As these are future skills, these integrations will help us take the tool to take to the next level."
"The cost of this solution can be improved."
"Some of the machine learning (ML) components are still in development. They deployed many of them, but they are doing some improvements on the machine learning part."
"I would like to see them expand the service catalog with RCA add-ons to the current RPA package."
"When you are implementing it initially, it's challenging as there's a lot of change management."
"We used AutoML feature for developing AI models automatically, but we are not comfortable with the performance of those models."
"It takes a considerable amount of time to process, and I understand the technology behind why it takes this long, but this is something that could be reduced."

"Google Vertex AI is good in machine learning and AI, but it lacks optimization."
"It is not completely mature and needs some features and functions. The interface needs to be more user-friendly."
"I think the technical documentation is not readily available in the tool."
"The tool's documentation is not good. It is hard."
"For Azure AI Foundry, there is no actual clear pricing structure, which can be confusing for customers to understand, as every feature that you activate has its own price, and it is not very clear sometimes to define the pricing."
"Azure AI Foundry can be improved by adding educational features."
"Azure AI Foundry could be improved with better integration within all the other tools from Microsoft."
"In Azure AI Foundry, I did not see many tools inside to test it that can really help us. I wish there were more tooling."
