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.

Automated workflows have reduced manual effort and now streamline approvals and notifications
The best feature of Microsoft Power Automate is its extensive library of connectors, allowing integrations with Microsoft 365, SAP, Salesforce, SQL, ServiceNow, REST APIs, SharePoint, and Teams, along with being a low-code platform for creating workflows with minimal coding and supporting robotic process automation. The most seamless connectors I rely on in Microsoft Power Automate are Outlook, SharePoint, and Teams, as they allow me to filter and automate actions such as saving email attachments to SharePoint or sending notifications in Teams easily. Microsoft Power Automate has positively impacted our organization with significant time savings, achieving a 60 to 80% reduction in manual effort for tasks such as downloading attachments and sending emails, thereby saving hours of repetitive work per week per team. We saved two hours daily per team.

Workflow automation has improved cross‑team collaboration and centralizes operational requests
Overall, I had a positive experience with Pipefy, but I think there are still some areas that could be improved. One area would be advanced workflow management and scalability for more complex enterprise environments. As workflows grow larger and involve many teams, pipelines and automations can become difficult to maintain and organize over time. I also think reports and analytics could be more flexible and customizable for operational and management level insights. More advanced dashboard capabilities would be helpful for larger organizations. Another improvement could be deeper native integrations with technical and DevOps-oriented tools, especially for infrastructure and engineering workflows. In some cases, more advanced automation logic or conditional workflows require additional configurations or effort. Simplifying this experience could improve usability. Finally, while the platform is very useful and user-friendly for non-technical users, governance and permission management in larger environments could become easier to structure and manage at scale.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"We have saved time and money using the solution."
"It is easy to fix bug issues which you encounter in the post-production process."
"I have worked on other RPA tools but this is more logical and easy to use."
"OCR, Image Recognition, Object Cloning, and PDF integration help us a lot."
"I like working with most of the commands in Automation Anywhere, such as object cloning commands. I like MetaBot for automating Citrix."
"The scheduling feature allows for scheduling of the bots to a specific time every day, which helped remove the dependency on humans completely."
"It has taken a lot of manual Excel manipulation that we have previously did, and removed that work away from people who did that for ten hours a day, five days a week, allowing us to refocus our resources into more value-add activities and simplifying our landscape."
"Automation Anywhere's OCR functionality stands out as the most valuable feature for us, as it allows us to swiftly extract data for repetitive tasks, significantly boosting our efficiency."
"You can create a flow, and it can be shared across different environments."
"My advice on this product would be to focus on the human in the loop because Power Automate is really great when you want to communicate with users in the middle of a crisis, or if you want some interaction with different people or want to orchestrate workflow between different departments."
"Microsoft Power Automate is very easy to use, very complete with a lot of activities available, intuitive, and it seems very stable."
"If you are looking for a low-code, simple to deal with email and extract a spreadsheet, then Microsoft is a good option."
"The engineers on-site can generate an automated report that takes approximately 10 minutes, while before it took them two days."
"The RPA robotic process automation is a good feature. We can make a flow within a flow. We just made a UI flow. The flow is to run every day so far it's been quite helpful."
"The whole platform seamlessly integrates well."
"Its complete integration with Microsoft tools and the inclusion of the CRM are the most valuable features."
"Overall, Pipefy helped create more predictable, organized, and scalable operational processes."
"In terms of money and time saved, Pipefy is a great time saver overall, reflecting in analysts handling additional projects beyond ticket management."
"Pipefy has had a positive impact on my organization by helping the collections team convert invoices that were overdue into paid invoices and, consequently, cash for the company."
"Pipefy has impacted my organization positively as we have not reduced our headcount, but we could if we wanted to because the number of people managing those processes before Pipefy was a lot."
 

Cons

"Sometimes the tool is timing out, which would be a good thing to have resolved."
"In the debugging mode, it writes all the logs to text files, but it doesn't ever clean them up. We had one that got to 200K, and it bogged our whole machine down. We couldn't figure out what was going on until we found out that we had a 200K file sitting out there. We would like some sort of maintenance on the log files going forward."
"Having better documentation that is more openly available would help. Often, it feels necessary to contact someone or search for documentation that is stored behind a login or in another location. It would be beneficial to have one centralized place for everything."
"Integration with other platforms may prove to be very interesting for us and others."
"In Mexico, where our company is based, we face issues regarding obtaining new licenses, as this has to be done through a third-party company."
"We also got a tool from Automation Anywhere that was supposed to fix or patch a problem, but it didn't work. It was a horrible, pathetic product that they brought out when it wasn't ready."
"Integrations should be included with the analytics platforms and third-party SAP, enterprise-level applications, as well as if there are any built-in connectors where you can connect with the ERPs to automate the required teams."
"Better support for Excel is needed because there are a lot of limitations and we are having issues with it."
"It lacks a lot of functionality that other tools have. There should be queue management, and there should also be the capability to deal with a little bit more complex automation. If it had queue support and if it was capable of doing more complex automation, it would be a much better tool."
"Power Automate cannot handle high end projects and, from a developer's perspective, it's a little difficult for enterprise size companies."
"It should be faster and more user-friendly."
"The technical support has room for improvement."
"Looping can be a bit tricky in Power Automate."
"The solution lacks maturity."
"The development itself is not easy."
"It's not stable yet, because it's still in development."
"Pipefy can be improved with processes not only following Kanban styles but other kinds of processes that have more paths, not just a single, direct path, but they have bifurcations."
"Overall, I had a positive experience with Pipefy, but I think there are still some areas that could be improved."
"What is lacking is direct support, since I am required to go through a third-party outsourcing company to connect with Pipefy."
"I believe Pipefy can be improved by clarifying the API calls and making packages for API calls more accessible, because in my organization we have a lot of automation, but we have few API calls, precisely because we have a fixed plan and the organization, in fact, does not need that."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"My understanding is that the license cost of Automation Anywhere is more reasonable than UiPath and Blue Prism."
"The Automation Anywhere license is affordable and not complex."
"The licensing needs to be made simpler or shortened."
"The solution's pricing is pretty decent."
"It is affordable for us."
"It costs up to $1,200 per license."
"As our team size increases, we may get some more licenses for the tool."
"Automation Anywhere is somewhat expensive. The prices are slightly higher, but if you need something, you must pay for it."
"We are just using the free products at the moment. We are using the ones that come with the license that we have got."
"The licensing cost for us at this time is between $8 and $20 per user, per month."
"Its licensing cost is comparatively less as compared to Automation Anywhere. We have bought a two-year license agreement."
"This solution is reasonably priced and offers a free trial period."
"The licensing model is flexible in that you can pay per automation or per user. My client receives a discount because of the large number of users and pays approximately $15 for each one."
"You can have two types of licenses, one is user-based, and the other is app-based in the Power Platform."
"The licensing price should be more cost-effective."
"It's more fragmented licensing, where every little thing that you add, you get an extra license cost."
