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.

Frees up employee time but can't run when computer system is locked
Something that could be improved is that this solution can't run when the computer is locked, which meant we had to implement it in our own on-prem server as it never auto-locks. It would be better if, when we have scheduled a scenario, it would log into the system automatically.
Ahmed Salman - PeerSpot reviewer
Performance & Monitoring Supervisor at Saudi Telecom Company
Increases productivity with automation and robust orchestration capabilities
The community is very powerful, with extensive knowledge bases available. There are ready-made workflows, integration with other products, a nice user interface, and reporting. The tool is flexible, agent-based or agentless. It allows significant automation and has robust orchestration and reporting capabilities. It is easy to configure and use, leading to increased efficiency across our IT processes.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"ROI is good and impressive after using automation anywhere RPA platform."
"I like all of the product features, but I mostly like to work with IQ Bots because they have cognitive automation capabilities."
"We have automated the daily reports and it will trigger automatically once jobs are completed from the backend database which has saved a lot of extra work for our team, saving workforce and time."
"The feature we found to be the most valuable is the documentation automation as it allows us to focus on the actual important piece of building automation instead of tracking some of the repugnant documentation that goes along with building automation."
"RPA implementation will be always fruitful, and return on investment will be always higher than the input costs."
"It improved the task performance at a team level and improved productivity."
"As a solution, Automation Anywhere is complete for business users and developers."
"It saves time."
"NTT-AT WinActor has allowed our employees to focus on other things rather than the repetitive tasks that can now be given to the robot."
"The tool's most valuable feature is data import. The OCR feature helps to recognize the data. It can recognize screen and document numbers well."
"This software is very smart - it can decide from a picture if we like that condition, and then the robot will do that action."
"It's very stable. If you ask me for the success rate metrics, it's more than 90% for both."
"As an integrator of Operations Orchestration, we find that the most valuable feature is really the support that HP provides."
"We have saved few million dollars with OO."
"It has reduced the time taken to go to market. In the past, we were struggling with building these integrations, but now the process has sped up and there is an added advantage of quick delivery. In addition, it is an agent-less solution, which provides more flexibility in terms of multiple options."
"HP provides ready to use automation libraries for almost all the IT process automation tasks with no extra cost."
"The community is very powerful, with extensive knowledge bases available."
"This solution basically does everything that we need it to do."
"The product is good functionality-wise. I am impressed with the tool's flexibility in customization."
 

Cons

"Extracting customer addresses from Google that are not in a standard URL format is a challenge for Automation Anywhere."
"Citrix is only in the development stage. Automation Anywhere could put some time into improving this more."
"MetaBot helps getting data from SAP, but we still have some cases where we cannot fetch data from SAP."
"The IQ Bots have a lot of room for improvement in terms of accuracy level. We need to improvise a lot. I'm facing another big challenge with one of the use cases. We raised a ticket and did multiple follow-ups with support, but the accuracy still isn't up to the mark."
"I would like to have the MetaBot screen name title dynamic instead of static."
"Not all data is good quality. This presents a challenge for automation, which is important."
"They are already working on this: The boom of generative AI, the next-gen technologies, including advanced AI and ML technologies, are in the roadmap. I would like to see more and more AI integration and a bit more analytics. That would be great."
"Automation Anywhere's frequent updates are unnecessary and disruptive."
"The OCR has issues recognizing handwritten data."
"Something that could be improved is that this solution can't run when the computer is locked, which meant we had to implement it in our own on-prem server as it never auto-locks."
"The cost is very high compared to anything else available."
"But what I would like are more functionalities around code release."
"We have used technical support and we've had our ups and downs with them."
"There are automation tools out there that are more unified -- network, database, servers. Operations Orchestration doesn't do everything and you need to buy other components for other tasks."
"The setup is a little bit complex, as the first time we needed some help from HPE support, but afterwards on repeating the process it became easier."
"Only the tool's support can be a drawback where improvements are needed."
"It takes a lot of resources to implement and support it, which is expensive."
"There were a lot of scalability issues that we initially faced. Whenever I tried to deploy 100-200 endpoints, it became a huge challenge. We had to actually start using other tools like Tivoli Endpoint Management in order to patch the issues."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"If I compare it with Blue Prism, Automation Anywhere is cheaper. Blue Prism is very costly. Automation Anywhere's pricing follows the market, not less and not more."
"I think the solution's pricing is reasonable."
"AA comes at a more affordable price than the other tools."
"We paid separately for the Runner and Creater components. The final cost depends on the structure of your environment."
"Automation Anywhere is competitive... Pega is somewhat comparable, but Pega also requires a lot more infrastructure and a lot more experience to get up and running."
"Price is where I'm least satisfied. Other vendors are more willing to offer discounts."
"Our annual licensing costs are around $100,000 a year."
"This is a comprehensive automation offering with a scalable architecture and flexible pricing models."
"We pay yearly for the agent who runs the processes, plus an additional fee for maintenance costs."
"I do not have experience with the pricing or licensing of the product."
"The cost is very high compared to anything else available."
"The tool is expensive. I rate the tool a six if one is cheap and ten is very expensive."
