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.

President and COO at a computer software company with 51-200 employees

Good data ingestion and classification capabilities, supports various media types and formats, and the interface is easy to use

Currently, we're still using version 2-7-2, and now they're about to do the beta release on their version 2021. In this coming version, we expect that some of our issues will be fixed. We've had challenges in classification tasks where similar documents were flagged as multiple matches. The system would identify them and say, "Hey, I think I've got multiple matches. It could either be this one or that one." Because of that, it required us to instruct the system to either leave it unclassified, or we had to halt the process for somebody to look at it. With the new version for 2021, they have changed the paradigm. As it is now, we're using something called a form type, where pages within the document are referenced using a specific page number. For example, in a ten-page document, you might refer to information specifically on the first or fifth page. In the new paradigm, there is a first, middle, and last page concept, as opposed to having the different form types with all of the different pages. What they're telling me is that it's going to make the classification more accurate. Just because the first page of two different documents looks the same, they will not be considered duplicates. Having multiple points of reference will now allow it to better distinguish them. The other area we have had challenges with is table extractions, where if the data headers were not defined, or the tables did not have descriptions for the columns. My understanding is that in the 2021 version, they've now shown that they're handling that. Again, we don't have it and haven't been able to test it, but it's coming. Technical support is definitely an area that they need improvement in, in terms of the front-line individuals.

Intelligent Automation SME at a financial services firm with 10,001+ employees

Cloud platform orchestrates business processes with AI capabilities

I find the capabilities that a normal orchestrator should have to be valuable in WorkFusion. The WorkFusion 10 cloud-based platform is different from the earlier on-prem version, WorkFusion 9. The platform now includes auto machine learning and AI capabilities. We haven't used these extensively, but they are a nice feature they are working on. The platform remains stable with well-designed processes, despite being a complex and technical tool.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"I recommend Automation Anywhere to other users because it minimizes repetitive human tasks, saves time, and helps reduce costs."

"We have been able to reduce the amount of repetitive tasks completed by operations, allowing individuals to move onto tasks which cannot yet be automated."

"Security is a top priority for us. To be allowed to automate different processes, we need to have a good set of controls around who is allowed to do what, and what credentials people can and can't use. It allows us to manage access make sure that we have full control."

"We have seen AA bringing immense value to the clients once operational. Bot deployment is easy and controlling Access is easy with RBAC With Recent additions. User groups and user management is on par with tools like Blue Prism & UiPath."

"The biggest benefit of Automation Anywhere is that it makes our processes error-free. Accuracy is how you build efficiency within the system and increase productivity."

"Our ROI has ranged from thousands to hundreds of thousands, depending on the type of process being automated."

"My experience with Automation Anywhere over three years has shown tremendous growth in operational efficiency and business processes, as it helps to automate repetitive and rule-based tasks such as report generation and data entry quite faster and efficiently, reducing errors by about thirty to forty percent from what I observed a few years back and improving SLA-related compliance."

"We're able to create reusable components. We don't want people to have to rebuild things from scratch. In this way, developers can take the reusable components and complete their development processes more quickly."

More Automation Anywhere pros

"Using Grooper has sped up our data entry process between two and eight times, depending on the exact process."

"In certain types of jobs, I would estimate that using Grooper saves us 70% of the time it normally takes to complete it."

"Grooper processes difficult sorts of data and unstructured or semi-structured content very well. It's probably one of the better solutions I've seen compared to other solutions I've seen out there. It does a lot more things like segmentation extraction. It does it a lot better. Grooper has more focus on these types of freeform documents where other solutions are very generic and this is a little more elaborate in what they've done. I think they take it to the next level of extracting freeform data."

"With Grooper, the old archive of information can be obtained with the models we built."

"So now we're doing stuff that takes literally minutes, or even sometimes seconds, and we've reduced the labor by a hundredfold."

"The user interface is easy to use, and the flexibility is noteworthy."

"Lexicons where the key vocabulary can be inputted it is very helpful."

"There are many options and customizations that you can make to each individual extractor that allows you to tweak it for exactly what you need."

"The most valuable features are the recorder because it's user-friendly and the integration with other tools Excel."

"In terms of stability, it's quite good. It's an internal IP product."

"This product helps us by automating functions in finance, where users are able to have attended bots and save time by handing processes to the bots to run while they continue their own work."

"It is useful that WorkFusion provides the entire infrastructure, which allows me to focus on writing code without worrying about maintenance."

"The Robotic Desktop Automation Express component allows us to do rapid development outside the normal, time-consuming processes."

"We can see that its competitive ability is quite good."

"The most valuable features are the Excel activities. It has a number of Excel activities that are quite reliable."

"Their robots have increased the rate of efficiency by two to five times in our organization."

More WorkFusion pros

Cons

"When it comes to reading email, this solution is unstable and improvements need to be made."

"These guys need to build a good team."

"There can be some options to connect to the database directly where we should be able to add some data."

"SMTP mail features should come with migration options. All kind of VB scripts and Java scripts which we built using exiting version should support in this version."

"Automation Anywhere has some limitation with its integrations."

"The areas in which the product and service must be improved are in the government sector and ministries such as the Ministry of Education and Health."

"The solution should include an analytics dashboard. As the space is maturing, many vendors sell functionalities as separate components so this is not unique to the solution."

"There was a time when I would have rated it at around fifty-fifty percent, but now Automation Anywhere uses AI for customer support."

More Automation Anywhere cons

"Grooper is new. It's new beta stuff, so we've had some issues, but that's understandable. Getting the beta product to more of a true release is where it needs improvement. I'm going through training now, so it's hard to judge what they have and don't have until I get through that training. Training is the main thing for me because I'm trying to learn and take things I've learned from other products and try to transfer that knowledge to this one."

"There are few bugs that my superior has posted in the Grooper exchange that concerned errors with the OCR."

"Grooper is new. It's new beta stuff, so we've had some issues, but that's understandable."

"They should have more sub-extractors or exclusion extractors so that the user does not have to make a parent data type."

"If Grooper could "sense" important fields on the document and auto-build extractors for them, that'd be really cool."

"Technical support is definitely an area that they need improvement in, in terms of the front-line individuals."

"However, we've had use cases where we decided not to employ WorkFusion because it lacked capabilities that were important for the business processes in our company."

"I would also like for it to be NLP-based."

"Currently, I would rate their pricing around two, as WorkFusion's cloud version seems costly compared to others."

"I would rate the stability as four out of ten. I frequently face issues with infrastructure and some WorkFusion-related problems, such as login issues."

"Sometimes, when we report an issue such as a possible bug in the WorkFusion platform, and we need answers or a solution, we think WorkFusion can do better."

"There could be better version control through their web platform. That is something that could be improved on. Integration from the IDE, e.g., from WorkFusion Studio directly into Control Tower, would be nice to have too."

"The problem with the solution is that it is agnostic, so it's not made for banks. Sometimes we are challenged because of this. We have to make everything from scratch to make it work for our clients."

"This is an expensive solution. They have a very expensive license compared to any other automation tool."

More WorkFusion cons

Pricing and Cost Advice

"They have a ridiculously expensive bot licensing structure, especially for the Asian region."

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

"While calculating the setup cost you should account for the server, virtual machines, product licenses, maintenance costs, and running costs."

"We are not receiving the right information about their features, e.g. Automation Anywhere University, or anything that they are selling. They need to improve their documentation."

"If it is saving FTE and Generating a good ROI then it is Worth Investing."

"Regarding the price, licensing, and maintenance, Automation Anywhere provides its customers with its best and affordable value."

"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."

"Our company is investing a lot of money in Automation Anywhere. They have saved money wherever humans are working. They invest a lot of money in FTEs and other logistics, so the money saving is very pretty good with Automation Anywhere. While I don't know the exact figure, the tool is saving us millions of dollars as well as saving about 40,000 hours in the last year."

More Automation Anywhere pricing and cost advice

"Know how many pages you will be needing to process, as the pricing is based on that."

"Overall, their pricing is higher than the competitors, but they offer functionality that is otherwise not available."

"The solution was not the cheapest, but it was also not the most expensive. Workfusion was very open to negotiating pricing and to working within the objectives of our firm."

"One upgrade took a year to do, from the first server being built to the last bot being migrated. This was because we had to migrate all our existing bots. This is the same process and time frame that we are expecting towards the upcoming upgrade. I will end up spending half a million dollars to do an upgrade."

"The pricing is fair because WorkFusion's out-of-the-box solution is appealing."

"We are on an annual contract to use the solution."

"My client is using RPA Express, which is available for them to use free of charge."

"We have a good deal from WorkFusion. We have an unlimited global licensing deal with WorkFusion. For us, it is a no-worry solution. We can go ahead and use it as much as possible anywhere we need it. If WorkFusion has a different kind of a deal for licensing with others, then their business decisions need to be evaluated based on that."

"It is not the most expensive solution, but it is also not the cheapest."

"They have a very expensive license compared to any other automation tool. For instance, at $50,000 - $60,000, you can bring in an Automation Anywhere solution. For this solution, you need at least $250,000 to get something going."
