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.

Has improved development quality and speed but has introduced persistent IDE slowdowns
In recent years, the IDE has been more buggy and slower, and although there have been more features added, I would like to see more stability, as some areas that used to work for a fairly long time are now slower in my development, which feels like a step back. I choose a seven mainly due to the issues we've faced with slowdowns and bugs during development, while runtime has been very stable, and the overall output on Mendix platform is still good; there is definitely some room for improvement, and I would probably have given it an eight or even a nine if those issues weren't hurting my developer output for the past few years. Overall, Mendix platform is stable, but the IDE could be better.

Automated process efficiency enhanced with improved setup simplicity

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"AA has improved our organization in a positive manner."
"Since it can be utilized 24/7, the ROI is pretty high with minimal efforts and resources by using unattended automation."
"I would rate Automation Anywhere a perfect ten out of ten, considering it is significantly better than what we had before."
"The turnaround time of building bots is quick. We are deploying around four bots per month. The turnaround time to get a design, build, and deploy is very fast. This is very good for us. It has helped us out when scaling up in a better manner."
"What I appreciate the most about Automation Anywhere is its ease of use."
"AA has good coverage in terms of out-of-the-box functionality for bot development and management."
"It lets users add value with their time other than focusing on downloading Excel files, consolidating, and drawing up formulas. Since everything is structured, these easily are incorporated into the bot's work."
"We have never not had a yearly ROI; we've always greatly exceeded the cost of, or the investment in, the tool and it is saving us more than millions of dollars a year."
"In our biggest project to date, we replicated with somebody else, it took three years to do uncompleted, and we replicated it in about six months to build an end-to-end application for customer use."
"Right now, if any company or client asks me for a low-code solution in Industry 4.0 space, I would just say, "You don't have to spend money on doing an assessment, Mendix is your go-to.""
"The built-in security makes security-by-design from the start possible."
"We were able to completely refactor middleware from SAP BPM to Mendix in a relatively short time and the product created a common language between developers and business analysts that facilitated the translation of business requirements, frequent validation, and modification to the technical solution, reducing a few development cycles which is crucial with short-term projects."
"I highly regard Mendix because of its proper support, troubleshooting options, extensive learning path, and the availability of different types of exams."
"They are leading in the smart manufacturing, and connectivity space."
"It's amazing that you can build web apps and mobile (hybrid) apps with one code base in a few clicks. It's a full continuous integration environment."
"Overall the platform is really good."
"NewgenONE's document management and workflow approach tools are very useful."
 

Cons

"In the control room, the manual bot update should be looked at."
"The scripting can be a bit difficult."
"I haven't gone deep in the tool, but so far it looks good."
"The vendor should increase the training and other engagements with users before they acquire the platform, as this will simplify its usage further and ensure that there no hindrances in using the platform."
"We have a new feature share in Automation Anywhere, but it does not migrate automatically from the previous version to the new one."
"The Automation Anywhere calibrating needs to be more user-friendly to avoid human error."
"Automation Anywhere could improve by better integrating with DevOps. Currently, it cannot be integrated 100% with DevOps methodology, which many companies are requiring."
"We have found that the passwords are not very stable in terms of their accuracy. We could only get 70 percent accuracy in these cases. Our clients require more accurate results. We are working toward this."
"The platform still has many areas for improvement."
"There is always a layer of custom code required."
"I struggle with solutions like Mendix in terms of creating enterprise solutions."
"Since it's low-code, I would like Mendix to be web-based, so we shouldn't need to install Mendix to create an app."
"As far as I know, the licence is costly."
"All software applications have their hiccups, including the Mendix Studio Pro developers program."
"Mendix is quite expensive, and its pricing model makes it inaccessible for startups. The app license costs between $13,000 to $14,000, which is prohibitive for startups."
"In recent years, the IDE has been more buggy and slower, and although there have been more features added, I would like to see more stability, as some areas that used to work for a fairly long time are now slower in my development, which feels like a step back."
"Setting up NewgenONE is still a technical task. Simplifying the setup process would make it easier for users."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"I think the pricing is reasonable, but clients often perceive it as expensive."
"It's justified because we have saved quite a bit of money at the company and many manual hours. Overall, it justifies the cost."
"We have purchased licenses, but are trying to obtain more bot programmer licenses."
"As far as costs, it depends on your use. We started with a basic department pack, which is over 10K. The additional costs depend on the scale of the engagement and how it pans out. We customize to our needs on the go."
"Approximately, for a developer, it is around $750 for a license a year. For Bot Runners, it is about $550."
"There is an annual license to use the solution."
"We have saved customers 400% in terms of time saved by implementing this product."
"Time-wise: We have saved hundreds of thousands of hours."
"Licensing costs are similar to those for all other IT technology, but they vary by region."
"There is a license required to use Mendix. The solution's price is high, but it is best suited for enterprise companies that have the budget. It is not for small or medium-sized businesses."
"I would not recommend the solution to small and medium-sized businesses because it’s expensive. It’s great for big organizations. I rate the pricing as a three out of ten."
"Mendix licensing cost is based on the number of apps you have on the server. At the basic level, it is free of charge, so that seems reasonable, but once you go beyond that, and when it comes to the number of users on the app, that basic structure doesn't work, and the pricing tends to get a little bit steep."
"Pricing used to be complex, but Mendix has improved that quite a bit."
"Its cost is higher than competitors. The cost mostly includes licensing. It is charged per user. The cost model could be better. When you have a big company, what does per user mean? If I have a company where I have 40,000 people who will go to access it but only 200 do, how do you license it and who do you pay for? If they hit it once, do you pay for it? The licensing is complex for a big company. It is easy for us to buy all we can eat, get an enterprise license agreement, and call it good."
"From a commercial point of view, we would like them to change that they currently sell it as a platform, but as a customer you have to decide upfront the usage of the platform. We would like to have Mendix sell it as a pay as you go model: You pay for what you use, and you don't pay for what you don't use."
"Mendix seems a bit expensive. But in terms of wanting to have less developers and higher velocity, the total cost of ownership is fine. It's not cheap, though."
