Venkat Sivaprakash - PeerSpot reviewer
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.

A scalable solution which is easy to install and use
I do not use the solution personally as I am not the end-user. It is merely one of the solutions that we offer to our customers. We act as consultants, solution providers. We have around 60 customers who are using the solution. I would, for sure, recommend the solution to others. I consider the profile of the project to be quite good at the moment. I rate Another Monday as a nine out of ten.
HP
Senior Business Process Automation Engineer at a manufacturing company with 10,001+ employees
Automation has transformed document processing and frees teams to focus on higher‑value analysis
Sometimes, we encounter system errors that could be resolved via support, but connection issues are more frequent in enterprise applications. However, these can usually be solved by raising tickets if you are part of an enterprise, though we are not, which makes it somewhat challenging. It is vital to ensure the connections of UiPath Platform are maintained because it has a larger community. If UiPath Platform website included more features and documentation accessible easily, it would greatly enhance the experience. Instead of continually needing to raise support tickets, having a documentation hub where details can just be entered to retrieve required documents would be extremely beneficial.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"Automation Anywhere has positively impacted my organization by providing a lot of hours and dollars saved for many business teams across the company, and it helps spark ideas for people to look at their own business processes and learn how to automate them from end to end."
"I love its reliability, ease of use, and the vast customer support that are always present to help us."
"The MetaBots are by far the most effective system within AA. Due to the fact that no scripting is required and only the passing of variables or values to get a definite result. IQ Bot with the ABBY OCR is a powerful component to do multiple extractions in the shortest possible timeframe in comparison to human execution of similarly identified tasks or operations."
"Using this solution has freed internal operations employees to do more "human value-add" work by removing mundane manual tasks."
"We have automated our critical functions, like supply chain management and purchase orders, and we have staff who have been moved out of the mundane tasks and are now doing value-added activities."
"It is highly scalable on cloud and virtual machines."
"With the cash flow generated just on the one bot we had operating, it's paid for itself in the first month."
"Scalability is one of the best things about most of the RPA bots. Once you create one, scalability is just about multiplying them."
"The solution is very easy to use."
"The initial setup is very quick."
"The unintended robots are very useful. Just letting it run and having visibility, and controlling how everything works is definitely helpful."
"UiPath has a very good user interface, and the automation is a great feature. New users can easily understand UiPath."
"The two reasons that we went with UiPath were, one, the learning curve, and, two, the community edition of UiPath, which had everything we needed to dig into the solution. Whereas with the other companies, there wasn't that option. With Blue Prism, for example, we had to buy a license in order to check whether the tool was going to work for us."
"The code-free automation engine of UiPath Platform has helped users in our organization, with quick turnaround in developing scripts, integration with various systems, and successful PDF reading capabilities."
"It offered us a new perspective for business processes improvement, looking not only for cost reduction but better accuracy and customer experience."
"UiPath has made it possible to reduce the time spent on these repetitive tasks because robots can keep working indefinitely, with a very low error rate and a very low maintenance cost compared to the financial return."
"UiPath gives a return on investment, it does what it is supposed to do."
"The best features I appreciate about UiPath Platform are that it is very user-friendly, so even though I started as a Java developer, I believe that someone without a lot of knowledge or experience in the programming part can use it."
 

Cons

"I would like to see them expand the service catalog with RCA add-ons to the current RPA package."
"Working with the Automation Anywhere servers and domains have proven to be difficult. We are trying to get more licenses and servers set up, so we can run multiple scenarios simultaneously."
"There are a lot of things that need to be improved, especially related to the Control Room, but you can develop and scale with this tool very, very fast."
"I am looking forward to seeing writing on Linux in the web and WorkBatch in the next release."
"AA should include more features in the mobile app, such as monitoring and debugging bots."
"However, the AI Sense Recorder is too slow, so they can enhance its features for easier user experience."
"In order to score nine or ten, they still need to provide more flexibility and integration with other tools and options."
"As a solution, it could have been easier to use than in the current state."
"The solution should come with language customization, which would simplify its use for our customers."
"The testing and release schedule for Studio should be improved because we find that with two releases per year, one of the versions is stable and the other one is not."
"Active Roles works with policies and access templates, as well as workflows, which are really powerful. While it comes with a lot of example policies and access templates, there are zero built-in workflows."
"From the UiPath product perspective, this might be a problem because we're on-prem, but they add new functionalities pretty rapidly. It feels like there are releases constantly, and I don't want to update it too often."
"There's an ongoing issue with a selector that doesn't want to be read for one particular website, which we're addressing by submitting a ticket."
"Engagement during the proof of concept period could have been better in regards to the implementation and follow-up."
"UiPath's price has room for improvement."
"UiPath updates its software every year. The problem is the support for the old code. For example, right now I'm using the 2021 10.3 version. If I have developed a code three years back and I want to update the packages, it won't work as expected."
"While the solution speeds up the cost of digital transformation, doing so requires expensive or complex application upgrades or IT app support."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Although the initial implementation cost of Automation Anywhere is relatively high compared to other options, its annual subscription cost is lower than UiPath's, which has the opposite pricing structure."
"We're on a license package with Automation Anywhere (AA), paid yearly. What would be better is for them to have different packages for different types of organization."
"We have saved a lot of money on taxes based on the stuff that we run."
"On a yearly basis, our licensing costs are about $80,000. There are no additional costs beyond the standard licensing fees."
"This solution costs approximately $3,500 USD per license."
"Our annual licensing costs for the entire company are $100,000."
"It is affordable for us."
"The pricing of AA is similar to UiPath."
"There is no licensing fee for our customers."
"Our licensing costs are around $40,000 a year."
"It is expensive. Every product or component is built separately. All the components have a separate fee. UiPath Studio has a license cost. The cloud has a license cost, and bots have a license cost. These costs are recurring on a yearly basis. So, every product or component has to be licensed for a year, and on expiry, you have to renew it. Their licensing structure should be improved. The cost of a bot is a lot. It is more expensive as compared to some of the competitors. It is probably $8,000 for an unattended bot."
"One of the downsides to UiPath is the cost of the enterprise version. It is a little bit on the higher side."
"It is the most user-friendly RPA platform, but it is also the most expensive RPA platform."
"I put the price as average; it's neither particularly expensive nor affordable."
"Licensing costs are high, but still well within a positive return on investment."
"At the company that I was with previously, we were paying $3,600 USD per bot. With the new company that I am at, because we're new and we don't have the size, we are paying $8,000 USD per bot."
"UiPath has a free community version."
