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.

No-code workflows have streamlined daily operations and support seamless cross-application automation
Microsoft Power Automate's no-code workflows help my team in daily operations to a great extent. Automating a particular activity may not be so useful, but when you connect the whole workflow, then it starts helping a lot. I cannot say much about the best features in Microsoft Power Automate because I have not used it personally, but first of all, it is very easy, it is a low-code platform, and Microsoft has a lot of integration with Microsoft technologies, making it very easy to connect with MS Teams and different Microsoft products, including MS Azure. From that point of view, it provides a lot of connectivity options. From a cost point of view, Mendix is much more costly compared to Microsoft Power Platform, allowing us to develop applications very quickly.

Automated email replies have saved hours daily but still need broader workflow integration
The features of Moveworks that I have not fully explored include some features I would actually like. Fully automating the passing of entries and automating entries generation would be valuable. For example, if I have a finance staff that is continuously passing an entry for me, I want a situation whereby it can pass that entry automatically and post it based on the synchronization and command which I have configured. I believe some other bot applications are doing something similar. If all these work tools can be put together to automate this kind of process, it will be very great. Major things I would want Moveworks to do more of - I do not know whether this functionality is already there - I want it to perform the work of bots so I can quickly automate some other applications to it, such as passing some entries. That is one request. Secondly, regarding the integrations of bots of Moveworks with other applications, I would appreciate if there were a step-by-step process for all standardized applications such as WhatsApp, Outlook, Microsoft Office, Microsoft Teams, and some TeamViewer and other applications that are work tools. The step-by-step synchronization and integrations of these things, if it can be posted on the website, would make it much easier for people who want to do the synchronization instead of doing a lot of research before it gets done.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"Automate Anywhere can just mimic what a human does."
"There are ready plugins and connectors to integrate with APIs for common systems like Oracle or Microsoft."
"It is a great company with a great product and support."
"The flexibility of Automation Anywhere's truly universal orchestration in integrating with different systems and models has been great for us because we are new to the mission tools and had our data scattered in Salesforce and Oracle Analytics, yet Automation Anywhere has smooth integration with those apps and about ninety percent of our apps are supported, integrating particularly well with Salesforce where our client data and service requests are managed."
"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."
"It frees individuals up from mundane tasks so they can concentrate on being more active and creative other things that they need to do."
"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."
"By automating those processes we achieved high ROI, great customer satisfaction, better STP, reduced manual work, reduced processing time, high accuracy, and 24/7 working capacity with the AA bots."
"The most valuable features of this solution are the automation interface and the RPA automation."
"If you have Office 365, it's included."
"The initial setup is pretty straightforward."
"By creating in-house solutions, we had a high impact on the organization."
"The best features of Microsoft Power Automate are its ability to switch from one app to another without user interaction, so you can automate a task, take data from one source, process it, and then output it in another format or have it as an input for another app, and also to transform data and have that done with minimal human interaction."
"The most advantageous aspect of the solution is its cloud capabilities."
"Its integration with SharePoint and Outlook is the most valuable. I found it very easy to use. I could do everything that I wanted very quickly, and I didn't have any complications at all. I never had a problem in using Microsoft Power Automate."
"Power Automate is a better and more cost-effective solution compared to Automation tools."
"The solution saves us approximately three-quarters of a million dollars per year."
"Moveworks has positively impacted our organization by lowering ServiceNow service desk calls by 90%, as users now prefer to ask questions through Moveworks in Teams before calling for help."
"Moveworks has reduced many tasks from us, saving an average of one to two hours per day because emails that used to take ten to fifteen minutes to compose are now getting done within two minutes, sometimes even when I am not there."
"Moveworks has reduced employee time because initially, employees used to spend so much time going to the third party to do all those jobs, and now they can simply do it via Otter, which is Moveworks, and this has saved much time and provided accurate results as well."
 

Cons

"They often provide good solutions, but sometimes they are unable to resolve issues, requiring users to find solutions independently, which can be time-consuming."
"It is very difficult to create and automate timetables because they are modal, and it would be helpful if the bot could assist us with this."
"Vertical connecting lines would be appropriate within the code, and a collapse/expand feature for code blocks would be ideal."
"In terms of speed in Automation Anywhere, I feel it is taking a slightly longer time."
"One of the things that the product should have is to add more advanced level developer capabilities into the platform. I know it is easy for business, non-technical people. However, for the developers, there should be some more features within the product so they can build advanced level use cases much faster."
"Currently, while working on the SAP part, I encounter some challenges, particularly not being able to extract the tree structure."
"Automation Anywhere could use to be more stabilized."
"For my organization specifically, the challenge is with Automation Anywhere upgradation. We have more than 100 bots that were developed five years ago."
"I have had some issues with stability where I received a surprising error message and still don't know why it happened."
"Microsoft shouldn't charge extra for the database license if you want to store the data in the database during the trial."
"While working with big data, when we have structured data like logs, we have to work with an ETL tool before manipulating the data and creating the workflows and the forms. This can be improved. Big data support is something that I'd like to be covered a lot."
"It should work better for Angular websites, as it has a lot of problems."
"The initial setup is complex and has room for improvement."
"For countries in our region, it's not very well known."
"It can have customizations like enterprise solutions. In the approval section, there should be an option to reassign approval to some other employee. It would be good if we are able to create custom tables by linking to an item, and there is an integration with the HTML table through HTTP calls or Swagger connectors."
"Sometimes it can be difficult to share flows for multiple users to edit."
"More use cases can be added to the agent marketplace and the YAML or the DSL methods can be simplified, adding more methods to make it easier for us to create compound actions."
"Customer support has been adequate; I would rate it around seven out of ten, as support often forwards cases to developers after collecting details."
"There is always room for improvement, though it depends on how complicated one wants to make it."
"It is still not perfect enough, but we are working on it to make sure it is very perfect."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The price for Automation Anywhere is reasonable."
"In most of the cases, the product value is very good. If the infrastructure, implementation, and framework are good, then generally, the client can get a good return on investment."
"It is somewhere in the middle. The price and value of Automation Anywhere are better than UiPath. The pricing is good globally. It could be a little bit cheaper, but it is good."
"I don't know exactly what the pricing schemes are for the product as this type of negotiation is not my responsibility, but I think the basic pricing comes to $15,000."
"The price is a little bit high but the support is good."
"While calculating the setup cost you should account for the server, virtual machines, product licenses, maintenance costs, and running costs."
"We just did a round of price comparison on a global scale and found it's so hard to compare the license prices. But, Automation Anywhere, in general, is on the same price level as the other vendors, a bit lower in some cases."
"Including the AWS setup and everything per license, it costs us around $10,000 on an annual basis. I believe that is pretty reasonable considering the teams that we have."
"We have it on our system. I don't really know if we need a separate license."
"Its licensing is flexible."
"It depends and varies a lot according to the licensing terms. There is no cost to maintain if we have less than 10 forms. Microsoft only charges if there are more than 10 forms. So, most of the companies can survive without paying anything extra. It is included in the Office 365 licensing."
"Power Automate is a much less expensive product than the competition."
"With our Microsoft Office 365 license, we are able to use Microsoft Power Automate."
"The price of the solution is reasonable."
"The licensing cost for us at this time is between $8 and $20 per user, per month."
"The pricing of this solution is very good and for me, it's the best option there is."
