Venkat Sivaprakash - PeerSpot reviewer
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.

Automation has transformed complex sales order tables into accurate data for our ERP
I have observed that while training Nanonets, we must provide a larger number of examples or documents. When I trained the model, it usually requested around 50 documents as a dataset to train the model. I found this very difficult because business users are not very helpful in providing such a large number of documents; we usually have around two, three, or five. It would be helpful if we could start training the model with limited datasets and then have an option to always improve the model by providing more datasets as we progress through the journey, but it should not be a blocker at the first stage where you need to provide at least 50 samples for a model to train.

Automation has saved thousands of hours by processing bulk data and managing emails efficiently
The best features SS&C Blue Prism offers include powerful automation, easy-to-use process flow, and excellent integration capabilities. Data manipulation and handling is very easy and user-friendly. It is very secure, especially in handling sensitive data such as credentials. One of my favorite features of SS&C Blue Prism that stands out is its seamless integration with various systems. This includes features such as load balancing, encryption, audit, and spying modes. The capability proves to be a significant advantage when automating tasks across different applications and platforms, which saves a lot of time. The email handling feature is spot-on, and we are able to automate these tasks easily, saving a lot of time. SS&C Blue Prism has positively impacted my organization as it can easily handle a large amount of data, being very scalable. It also saves time through automation of email. It saved a considerable amount of time, more than 5,000 hours of manual work so far. It saved a considerable amount of money as well. The costing metrics will improve largely. It also requires very little coding. Instead of hiring new people trained in a specific tool, we were able to manage this with the existing workforce with a few weekend classes.

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."
"By using SNMP configurations and Excel, I was able to read the mail. I used this functionality to categorize the fabric, then I used this information to correlate the value to Jira along with Excel."
"When I compare it with other RPA tools, Automation Anywhere seems pretty good. It's a user-friendly tool. Anyone can easily understand it. If there is an error, you can easily debug it from the developer level. In Automation Anywhere, the error handling happens in the easiest way. In case of an error, we send an email. It's not too difficult code to understand. There's only beginning and ending error handling, which is easy to understand."
"We had some business users who created their first bot four weeks back, and they were thrilled; it was very easy for them because of the drag and drag, and they understood the process very well."
"Scalability is good. There is no question about its scalability."
"AA has helped to automate a complex Audit process, saving auditors from doing the mundane manual task of logging into multiple applications independently while the bot securely manages credentials, collects screenshots, builds PDFs, and reports results."
"I feel that it save us time and provides ROI as a monetary benefit because it reduces FTE, the number of headcount working for a particular project."
"It saves time."
"Nanonets has positively impacted my organization by providing a solution that works for us as developers."
"The best features Nanonets offers include their workflow and OCR detection capabilities, which have positively impacted my organization by helping detect edge cases in OCR that require some post-processing or pre-processing and have improved efficiency and reduced errors."
"The key feature of SS&C that I find valuable is the general workflow visibility."
"We have converted manual processes into RPA processes, leading to significant time, money, and quality savings."
"Some important features include the language capabilities, which are crucial since RPA has to read the documents provided by the customer."
"We have a lot of customer requests on a daily basis for different use cases, and we have different processes for that."
"I find the design studio, where I can build the automation, and the control room feature, which allows me to run and monitor the automation, to be the most useful."
 

Cons

"The object cloning that exists cannot capture 80 percent of the objects that we need it to capture."
"One of the challenges that I face every now and then while working with A2019, is around the bot agent updates. Every week/alternate weeK, I receive an error while running my bots, that asks me to update the bot agent."
"The version that we are using has been difficult for us to code. As changes are very frequent, we have to make sure the code can be updated automatically so we don't have to make a change every time a user makes a change. Then, the user doesn't have to update us and we don't have to push a change to production. We have found a workaround with the help of the Automation Anywhere support people for this."
"I would like to see web and cloud-based platforms for future releases."
"Some things that I do not see as of today are interactive chat or video interface. These are things that I will look for in future. I saw something like picture recognition, but something like a video or voice recognition is something that I'm looking for in the Automation Anywhere platform as an end user and even as a reseller."
"From an IT perspective, we had too many issues and headaches."
"Automation Anywhere should add a couple of commands which will help most developers not to always use a script, a good example is in String operations."
"Web automation capability needs to be improved."
"I think Nanonets can be improved as the pricing seems to be a bit high, which is one of the things they should improve."
"I have observed that while training Nanonets, we must provide a larger number of examples or documents."
"Blue Prism is more costly than UiPath in terms of robotic licenses and orchestrators."
"I noticed that it lacks the ability to automatically record the process steps like some of its competitors."
"There is a need for improved integration with external systems in SS&C."
"Regarding improvements, I perceive that the Desktop automation needs enhancements, especially in input stages for dropdown options."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"In terms of pricing, it's not at all cheap, and that's a concern. The licensing cost is very high. While I don't know the exact prices of other tools, Microsoft offers the lowest pricing for its RPA platform compared to UiPath and Automation Anywhere."
"Annual licensing costs would be about $100,000."
"It's cheapest among the competition, although bargaining is a must."
"On average, a bot runner in Automation Anywhere can cost $5,000, while in Microsoft Power Automate, you can get most of the same functionality for $100."
"Pricing is affordable and I would recommend beginning with the Starter Package."
"They recently launched a Community Edition, which is okay, but they should have done this a long time ago."
"Automation Anywhere is flexible in terms of costing and licensing."
"The licensing cost could be improved. It costs a lot. At the very least, the developer licenses and the control panels should be made free to enterprises, and the production environment licensed."
