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.

Has faced challenges adapting to evolving capture methods and competitive integrations
It's difficult to say what I'd improve in Tungsten TotalAgility because we haven't been actively marketing that particular product in the last probably six to nine months. The speed of product development means that my experience with it is likely out of date in terms of the product suite capabilities. The difficulty with customers nowadays is that they are subject to the winds of change in terms of the adoption of cloud technologies and the offerings those cloud technologies bring. Microsoft, for instance, is rapidly filling in the spaces between various product areas that other vendors typically owned. That makes it difficult for customers to settle on their functional requirements because the offers are competing in the same space. I look for more integration with mainstream subscription based platforms, more security integration, and possibly some more lifecycle management features. However, the difficulty with that is the competition with existing options that people have in their subscription library.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"I recommend Automation Anywhere to other users because it minimizes repetitive human tasks, saves time, and helps reduce costs."
"Automation Anywhere is quite easy to use for users who are not technical, especially business users."
"We have multiple bots running. It saves time. If manual invoice processing in SAP takes two to three hours on a daily basis, a bot can do the same job in half an hour. We are saving more than 70% of the time."
"Automation Anywhere saves time and money."
"The impact on efficiency from Document Automation is significant, as it has given us approximately 70 to 80 percent of savings, with almost close to 90 percent efficiency and cost savings of approximately 70 to 80 percent of an FTE per person."
"It is very self-explanatory, making it easy for non-technical users to develop."
"The flexibility: If there is anything the tool cannot do, we have the ability to make a MetaBot to achieve that functionality. The overall flexibility of the tool makes it very useful for us in our landscape."
"Unattended use is its most valuable feature."
"The product provides valuable integration with other Microsoft tools."
"Should be high, as unattended RPA capabilities are available at almost free as I can utilize it under o365 license."
"The connectors are a very good feature."
"Using WinAutomation helps us to reduce our resource costs."
"It makes work easier."
"The connectors are a very good feature in this solution because they allow you to connect to multiple applications within the Microsoft environment."
"The most valuable feature is that you can run multiple automations at the same time, in parallel."
"It has a gamut of things. Power Automate is easy to configure. It is more for a citizen developer. It is low code/no code. It is one of the easiest tools when it comes to configuration. By default, we have a lot of Microsoft products on our laptops or desktops. So, it is very easy to configure the remaining products."
"It is user-friendly and has good documentation."
"Great with recognition providing a high level of confidence."
"The AI-powered features are incredibly important for operational efficiency; they are a game changer in terms of the accuracy of OCR and ICR."
"It is a very user-friendly tool in the market with a complete package of BPM, case management, and capture capabilities."
"One feature I like is that it makes the matrix easy for an unstructured document."
"Since it provides both Capture and BPM on a single platform, it stands on its own in the business process improvement space."
"It's not so complex to design what you need to."
"The product is really good, and it is easy to use. It comes with multiple integrations. The solution keeps up with the trend of Microsoft Copilot and AI."
 

Cons

"I would like centralized orchestration and better exception handling in the next release."
"MetaBot helps getting data from SAP, but we still have some cases where we cannot fetch data from SAP."
"I had an issue lasting for the better part of three years, and it was quite severe."
"There are occasional technical issues, particularly with cloud operations. Sometimes, the bot struggles to initiate on the cloud, even when everything appears in place."
"Setup and deployment of this product could be difficult for those without experience. These processes should be made easier."
"Automation Anywhere (AA) has a lot of stability issues. It needs a lot of maintenance."
"The product falls behind in working with webhooks."
"It takes a lot of effort to build up the internal infrastructure/topics like Virtual Machine/Security/development-Governance/Usecase-Management."
"The integration of our system into Power Automate was a bit tricky. We had to put a data lake in place before automating anything because we were not very structured in terms of data. Our major issue was cleaning up the data."
"Power Automate has fewer features and more limitations in general. It's not as mature a product as some of the others, like UiPath or Automate Anywhere."
"These products have some limitations, such as the need to build some custom controls in PCF or use the JSON format."
"The solution is difficult to customize."
"I've had some issues with the stability."
"Compared to other RPA solutions, there is a little bit of a feature gap."
"The technical support has room for improvement."
"I had some experience in the past with the solution having some difficulties with large loads, it is already better but it could still be improved."
"Kofax TotalAgility is quite vast and complex as a product. We came from Kofax Capture and Kofax Transformation, then we started learning Kofax TotalAgility, so there are a lot of things that were quite straightforward in the Kofax Capture and Kofax Transformation cross-motion modules, but to do those in Kofax TotalAgility was a bit more complex or quite long-winded and could be improved. In the next release of Kofax TotalAgility, it would be good to have a straightforward low-code or no-code process because there were instances we struggled with having to put logic into a script or a .NET script, then calling that script, instead of the process being low-code, no-code."
"The Transformation Designer of KTA can be made better."
"Kofax should improve its handwritten extractions."
"They provide sufficient but not excellent technical support. Perhaps there is a point where they could use some improvement."
"It would be nice if the tool has more connectors to different systems. It is an expensive solution."
"The pricing for Kofax TotalAgility could be more attractive, particularly the cloud version of the solution which was offered to my company. This is its area for improvement."
"Customer service was very poor."
"They never stressed the lifecycle document management aspects of regulated processes effectively, which I think possibly represents a weakness."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Based on what I've heard, it's costly, but I don't know much about its pricing."
"It is not too expensive, but there are many tools available in the market that can provide the same functionality at a cheaper price."
"I am not involved in the pricing, but based on what I hear from our central RPA team, it is not very expensive; it is also not cheap. Its price is in the midrange."
"Annually, we are paying almost one million reais."
"Automation Anywhere is flexible in terms of costing and licensing."
"If you are looking into Automation Anywhere, get the Community Edition and play with it."
"There is a free trial so that they can get an overview, and there are different licenses that are very affordable and can suit every business model."
"Their licensing processes are in par with most industry standards."
"I would rate the pricing an eight out of ten, with ten being expensive because there are charges for additional plug-ins."
"The solution is $150 per month for the unattended add-on, and the normal Power Automate comes with an E3 license."
"I give the cost a three out of ten."
"They have the community edition that people can use for free, and they also have the enterprise edition. My company uses the enterprise edition, and I don't know how much they pay."
"It's more fragmented licensing, where every little thing that you add, you get an extra license cost."
"The free version is quite good."
"The solution is free with Microsoft 365."
"I am not aware of the recent pricing model, but during the time that I was using this solution is was reasonable."
"It is slightly more expensive than other tools."
"The licensing cost for Kofax TotalAgility is very expensive, though I'm unable to give you the range, the sales representatives of my company say that the product is quite expensive."
"The price of this solution is less than some of the competition."
"Kofax TotalAgility is very expensive."
"It has a perpetual license. You pay once in a lifetime for the volume of scans you will do and the number of users you will have. You can have participants or regular users, and you can have developers and administrators. So, once you purchase it, it is for a lifetime, and then every year, you have to pay for the maintenance. There is an annual maintenance cost, which is about 18% of the licensing cost."
