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.

Rapid delivery has transformed complex enterprise apps and supports faster cross-domain projects
Every platform or low-code platform tool is quite good in its own area, but there is always space to groom or enhance or improve. The same is with OutSystems as well. A couple of things from the integration point of view can be enhanced. If your application or the enterprise organization is tackling a huge data application where you have bulk amounts of data, it becomes a challenge for all the technologies and the same with OutSystems. You have to design your architecture in a very magnificent and decent way so that how you process your data so that load can be easily balanced. Data handling and huge data handling is a kind of challenge you may need to face. Then we have some vendor lock-in. If you are trying to migrate your application from OutSystems, then you probably get into this vendor lock-in system. Some organization may face challenges if some organization is on a small scale size. The small scale businesses may find OutSystems costly because of its high cost and pricing due to the licensing cost. Apart from that, OutSystems really plays well, and it needs a learning curve. If a traditional application or programming is there which your developers are skilled into and they are directly deployed into OutSystems, it may take some significant amount of time for them to get comfortable with OutSystems. There is a learning curve. OutSystems community is already in place, but it can more be enhanced regarding some aspects. They did organize lots of bootcamps and other user groups as well, but those can also be improved from the documentation point of view and having some integration guidebook as well. A couple of things which can be improved into OutSystems include the licensing cost, the vendor lock-in side, the learning curve, couple of integration aspects and customizations.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"Excel automation is especially helpful because a lot of small companies are still using Excel as their data storage."
"Automation Anywhere's image reader is the most valuable feature."
"The Excel operations are very good."
"There are ready plugins and connectors to integrate with APIs for common systems like Oracle or Microsoft."
"AA has improved our digital strategy extensively and provided the required leverage to place ourselves above other peers in the O&G Industry. We were able to develop quick digital solutions by demonstrating the ROI and gain momentum by aligning the desired resources & budget from leadership."
"The ease of use and its ability to change the code when something in the main process or core process changes. The ease of use is really good."
"The core RPA capability is valuable."
"With the cash flow generated just on the one bot we had operating, it's paid for itself in the first month."
"NewgenONE's document management and workflow approach tools are very useful."
"It is much easier to develop applications with the product’s IDE."
"The visual drag and drop environment in OutSystems has helped tremendously in application development in my experience, and the features and capabilities I have found most valuable and useful include the drag and drop integration capabilities."
"Scalability proved to be an exceptionally beneficial feature."
"OutSystems is a robust and rapid application development platform with a less steep learning curve."
"The most valuable feature of OutSystems is the drag and drop and toolchains in the small AI developing environment. Additionally, the documentation is helpful."
"I find it to be a genuinely cool and effective platform for my development needs."
"The most valuable features of OutSystems are the user interface, the flexibility to quickly integrate with almost anything in the system, and the ability to connect with databases."
"The tool makes the development process easier."
 

Cons

"Currently, Automation Anywhere's debugging functionality is minimal."
"Overall improvement is needed for non-technical users who face challenges with how to use it and how to perform more tasks."
"There is room for improvement in the stability of this product."
"One area that Automation Anywhere can improve is the debugging experience."
"Overall, I am pretty satisfied with Automation Anywhere. The UI is pretty straightforward. However, the customer service could be improved."
"Providing a desktop version rather than focusing on the cloud is essential. Only UiPath offers a studio environment for desktop application development."
"I am looking forward to seeing writing on Linux in the web and WorkBatch in the next release."
"The A2019 in early releases had been quite unstable to our experience."
"Setting up NewgenONE is still a technical task. Simplifying the setup process would make it easier for users."
"We have performance issues while fetching bulk data."
"I'd like to see AI features integrated into the solution."
"The installation is a bit tedious."
"It is hard to find the logic in OutSystems. From an improvement perspective, I want to be able to properly use logic in OutSystems."
"One of the things that they could do a little better is the performance speed of the UI refresh; it sometimes seems a little choppy, and I would have to reload the same page a couple of times to get the reflection of the right information."
"In the future with OutSystems, improvements could be made on the costing side rather than the feature side."
"The PDD framework can't be used for the behavioral-driven development way of working."
"I would like to see improvements in versioning. It can be challenging to keep track of what changes should be committed, especially when many developers are working in one environment."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"They give us a good deal on the licensing because we bundle and customize things. If you ask to get a bulk business deal, you will receive more benefit. If you take other products from the suite, like IQ Bot, you can also receive a deal on the licensing."
"It's very good in terms of cost and pricing."
"Time-wise: We have saved hundreds of thousands of hours."
"This solution costs approximately $3,500 USD per license."
"Automation Anywhere's price is considerably better than UiPath's."
"It is not too expensive, but there are many tools available in the market that can provide the same functionality at a cheaper price."
"In the Indian market, I feel that for mid-size companies, such as ourselves, that having multiple bots costs a lot. If Automation Anywhere wants to expand in the Indian market, they will need to look at their pricing."
"Time and monetary savings can range from 20 to 90 percent."
Information not available
"Pricing could be a concern. You have to pay yearly, even after you have completed your development."
"You should contact OutSystems for more details but my opinion is that it is not for small business budgets."
"OutSystems is a good solution, but it's not cheap."
"It is still very expensive, so small companies can’t generally afford it... Still, the time saving on development and delivery is worth the value."
"The price is okay. OutSystems isn't expensive. It's a mid-range solution."
"I believe they are very strict with their pricing platforms, or the pricing policies, and it changes."
"The subscription is billed on a yearly basis."
"The product is expensive and I would rate its pricing a seven out of ten. You need to pay a yearly subscription to use the product."
