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.

The tool needs to improve in the areas of security, though it is a versatile product

Inflectra Rapise needs to expand its ability. I spoke with Inflectra's executive account rep on the need to expand the tool's ability. The problem with Inflectra Rapise is that a lot of companies are still using SAP GUI. Inflectra has no intention of building Rapise in a way that allows it to interact with SAP GUI. Inflectra Rapise has very limited value for the companies I work with because they they still use SAP GUI since their top priority is SAP testing, and they want to get into automation, for which they need a tool that cannot only used to automate processes, but can also do end-to-end testing where you are not only using SAP GUI, but you are using the interface with old legacy systems that are still in use or with today's more modern technologies. In the future, the tool needs to increase its versatility. If I am at a company that uses 23 different technologies, like .NET Visual Basic, Oracle, SQL, or whatever, Inflectra Rapise needs to be made as a product that is an out-of-the-box usable tool for any technology.

Senior RPA Developer at a tech vendor with 1,001-5,000 employees

Quicker compared to other bots but not very user-friendly

There is a need for NICE to be more user-friendly. It should be designed in such a way that any developer can easily develop bots. For instance, Power Automate provides a good example of a user-friendly design that NICE can learn from. Moreover, in terms of documentation, there is very little available for NICE, making it challenging to implement the bots. So, documentation should be improved as well. There are a lot of additional features that could be included in NICE. As the NICE Robotic Automation claims, it is a low-code solution, but that is not entirely true. They need to concentrate on the prerequisites and building blocks. There should be more options available internally that are easy to use and well-developed.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"I realized that Automation Anywhere is much easier, more reliable, and has value for money with good and vast customer support."

"The ability to automate renewals of government licenses four times a year is valuable."

"It has absolutely been worth it for us and has provided us with good value."

"Its ease of use is the most valuable feature. It is easy to train developers and find the right people, then use them to build the tool."

"This RPA software has good scalability and stability, is easy to understand and easy to use, even for users who have no experience with automation software."

"I have seen a return on investment with Automation Anywhere, as we have achieved a value of 10 million for a single process in one year, helping that team to accelerate more and bring value to the organization."

"I like Automation Anywhere's cloud-based nature. You don't need any on-prem infrastructure to host it."

"The bot creation process is simple and useful. Whatever you need to do, it is there. If there is something else, there are the MetaBot functions."

More Automation Anywhere pros

"Rapise is a good automation tool that's easy to use and learn, and you can share scripts as a team, which is very helpful."

"The most valuable feature of the solution is its versatility."

"The scripting of this tool is easy and user friendly."

"We saved thousands of dollars because the Rapise implementation gave us 30 or more executions for every release compared to three or four, so huge savings on manual testing effort plus easy detection of defects is very cost effective."

"We always use the product for end-to-end automation test cases."

"It's pretty straightforward to set up."

"It's incredible but the support and maintenance of Inflectra Rapise's scripts is less than 30% of the effort that was involved in maintaining Selenium, it is very easy and this is the reason that we are switching everything that needs handling from Selenium to Inflectra Rapise, as it is easy to maintain and provides a benefit in cost and efforts with a 90% reduction factor in the maintenance of the scripts."

"The first time I used Rapise I completed the automation scripts for a full application in a day and I was shocked how easy it was."

More Inflectra Rapise pros

"Through interfaces called Callout (created with HTML code) it is possible to create a strong interactivity with the user. These interfaces can be extremely dynamic in relation to the behavior of a local or remote robotic flow."

"What we've done with the RTI client is that we've brought it into a bit more of a 21st-century feel. Our agents have the ability to move around when they want, click into stuff. They use it according to how their conversations go with the customer."

"It resulted in over £1,000,000 in savings within that first month."

"It is easy to deploy because the installation packages are very simple and it doesn't require any maintenance."

"In terms of scaling and increasing the impact of automation, our center of excellence has been around for 11 months now, our target for the year was a saving of £2 million and we've just hit £2.4 million, which has given us just over a two-to-one return on investment and, by using that feature-based build that I mentioned earlier, where we take those component parts for login and logout or copy and paste from this spreadsheet to that one, we are forecasting a five-to-one return on investment within the next 24 months."

"NICE is one of the only vendors that does attended and unattended out-of-the-box. Using the unattended processes we've been able to build a "feature library." We break each process down into workable chunks that we can save into a big library. The next time we come to automate a task, we already have chunks of that automation built."

"Provides good automation features."

"Robotic Automation has saved us time and money by moving our processes away from manual work."

More NICE Robotic Automation pros

Cons

"With the PDF command, you can only read structured data. If your data is in an unstructured format, there is no command for it in Automation Anywhere. Then, people need to use Python coding if their data is in unstructured format. Therefore, Automation Anywhere needs to improve in the PDF area."

"Understanding what we wanted to do the tool after setup, that was complex."

"IQ Bot is bad and needs a lot of tweaking."

"What we currently have with Fortress IQ needs to mature more, and I say this since people spend weeks creating PDDs documentation."

"We face some issues, but we can’t prove them again. They occurred sometimes, but don’t occur again. For example, I record a video when a bot is running, and it is working fine. Another time it is not working. We face issues with Excel file creation. I’m trying to create a file in Excel .xls. It is getting corrupted."

"They should improve process discovery features."

"I have experienced the issues of UI getting stuck. There seems to be an issue with server stability. This is something that can be better."

"We have observed that AA gets locked sometimes."

More Automation Anywhere cons

"The maintenance is very difficult."

"It would be good if there could be more integration of Inflectra Rapise, since not all customers use the same tool for test management and automation integration."

"Inflectra Rapise needs to expand its ability."

"It has some stability issues where the tool crashes sometimes on Windows 10."

"What I have noticed about Rapise is that sometimes when you keep on using the same script, it fails many times."

"When there are failures in a nightly run of batches of scripts, it can create a blocking situation where all the following scripts will fail due to unexpected results."

"I faced one problem where it can't validate the colour of images and text. Also, it could not automate the mobile app, and this needs to be included."

"The maintenance is very difficult. We've only been using the platform for three months, so I'm not sure if that will continue, but right now it's an observation I've had."

"Its connectivity with other applications should be improved. In the version that I was using, it would just stop interacting with the other application. Its graphical interface should also be improved. It should have a user-friendly interface. Sometimes, people find it very difficult to understand. One of the obstacles that I faced while programming was that if I needed any kind of help, there wasn't much content on the internet. It can be very difficult to find a solution for a particular issue."

"We haven't found it to be as powerful as some of the other platforms. From a true RPA perspective, it is pretty far behind some of the other solutions."

"There is a need for NICE robotics to be more user-friendly."

"[During the upgrade] any issues, where it couldn't remotely connect to upgrade, I needed the floor plan so I could go to that PC and have a look at it. Often it was either that the PC was switched off or had a bug or some other application needed to be reset."

"The solution is not as intuitive as it could be and the integration took a lot of time."

"Its connectivity with other applications should be improved. In the version that I was using, it would just stop interacting with the other application."

"The one thing I'd like to see, and NICE is already heavily investing in it, is improvement in the user interface itself. They call it the Designer and it's what the developers use. It is a bit clunky; that is the polite way to put it. I'd like to see it be a bit more user-friendly, a bit more intuitive, and to move to something a bit more web-based..."

"We haven't found it to be as powerful as some of the other platforms. From a true RPA perspective, it is pretty far behind some of the other solutions. It has emerged as a more desktop automation kind of tool, but it lacks a lot of enterprise features. It is not really a true RPA because of its licensing, which is kind of user-initiated. It would be nice it can be deployed at a more enterprise licensing model versus a user-based model. It didn't have autonomous automation so far, and they have just released this feature. They have kind of hodgepodged a bunch of products together to get there, but it is not as seamless as other solutions."

More NICE Robotic Automation cons

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The Automation Anywhere license is affordable and not complex."

"The Community Edition is a good offering from the company."

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

"It is affordable for us."

"They are already coming out with a community license, which is really good. That's something that I wish to have."

"The pricing and licensing of Automation Anywhere plays an important rule in the Indian market because in the Indian market $10,000 USD is too much. Hence, the pricing tends to go down depending on the customer relationship with the partner: A starter pack is $10,000 and an enterprise pack is $100,000. If you go through an implementation partner, you can get good deals. They can save some money."

"The product’s pricing is reasonable."

"The cost of this solution is a little bit high, but it is worth the price."

More Automation Anywhere pricing and cost advice

"We pay no more than $50 annually for support of each one of the licenses."

"I rate the product's price an eight on a scale of one to ten, where ten means very good pricing."

"As per my understanding, UiPath has a much lesser cost than NICE, but I am not sure."
