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.

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.
Zeynep Köse - PeerSpot reviewer

Automation has reduced manual finance work and has increased accuracy for high volume tasks
I am not sure if there is any disadvantage to UiPath Automation Cloud; I cannot say anything definitive. Sometimes when we upgrade our Studio version, there would be some issues when we use a new version, but I would not say there is a significant negative aspect. The latest issues with the new version involve glitches or latency that happen when we upgrade, and we face some issues that take time to fix. We have to open a new ticket and proceed through that process. As I heard, UiPath Automation Cloud is a little more expensive than other tools. I just heard this from other developer friends, but I have never used any other tools myself.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The code automation platform is the most valuable feature."
"With the help of Bot, it has increased the productivity of the current process and we do not need to spend more time on error resolution and rectification."
"Since it is based on the cloud, it is a highly scalable product. It is easy to deploy, has a very good UI, and the bots can be easily deployed with no issues."
"The MetaBots are by far the most effective system within AA. Due to the fact that no scripting is required and only the passing of variables or values to get a definite result. IQ Bot with the ABBY OCR is a powerful component to do multiple extractions in the shortest possible timeframe in comparison to human execution of similarly identified tasks or operations."
"It has allowed us to generate additional revenue without having to hire additional people."
"it helps to save time when doing processes. E.g., when you do a manual process for eight hours, that time is saved because the bot will do that task for you. The process owners will be able to do the analysis part. The repetitive/manual part will be done by the robot."
"In the past ten months, I have saved the work of two people and people are happy with the results."
"Working with the Automation Anywhere application is very easy in our environment."
"It is easier to manage all the servers, and you can automate processes at one time for all these types of servers, which is very useful."
"The ability to basically create any type of flow I want to, go and get the root cause, and to control workflow without people having to know everything that needs to be done."
"It has made the implementation of our IT software policies faster."
"This solution basically does everything that we need it to do."
"Time savings with automation. We've gone from weeks to deploy systems to minutes."
"The community is very powerful, with extensive knowledge bases available."
"We have saved few million dollars with OO."
"This tool addresses all our disparate capabilities, bringing all those systems together, so we have been able to orchestrate per product and tie those things together to automate processes that were manual in the past, allowing us to turn around systems a lot quicker and in a repeatable way."
"Functionality wise, I do not have any complaint about UiPath Automation Cloud because for the last seven years, UiPath has been my bread and butter."
"When you use human resources, there is some chance people can make mistakes, but UiPath Automation Cloud robots cannot, as they are very fast and do their job correctly and efficiently."
"In general, the cloud migration has helped greatly, and overall UiPath Automation Cloud is a really good tool for enterprise-level automation."
 

Cons

"The OCR can be a little better because sometimes while scrapping, it leads to data loss."
"It is not always predictable 100% of the time. While it has improved with each version, some unexplained issues still exist."
"The solution should include an analytics dashboard. As the space is maturing, many vendors sell functionalities as separate components so this is not unique to the solution."
"I would like to see more bots available right out-of-the-box in the SAP area."
"I would like to see improvement in its scalability."
"Additionally, the user interface is quite outdated and could be more user-friendly. The licensing cost is also too high, which means many small-scale industries may not choose this product."
"In high-availability, we have two Control Rooms acting as a cluster so if one fails the other one will take over. But that's not our environment operationally, and the latest information we have is that they identified another product bug."
"I would suggest adding more fields while calling in API. There is no option to generate Authentication token within the Bot."
"The tool's UI needs to be improved. It needs to have better administration features in future releases."
"In order for our customers to have a deeper integration of Operations Orchestration, it needs to be offered with more cloud options, whether that's public or private or hybrid."
"If you're running it in a Windows environment, you're tied to the inefficiency and quirkiness of Windows."
"Customer service is one of those areas that definitely needs to be improved. 3.5 out of 10 Technical Support: Needs improvement."
"Customer Service: Below average, 2/10. A lot is needed to be improved upon in their customer service."
"It takes a lot of resources to implement and support it, which is expensive."
"However, if we need help with a problem on our own, it's difficult to get the right support."
"I would prefer the addition of ready-made workflows for common scenarios such as Oracle database switchovers or Exchange server scenarios."
"The main concerns are cost involvement and a new feature called ScreenPlay. ScreenPlay works based on the prompt that we are giving, but it consumes more artificial intelligence units."
"UiPath Automation Cloud needs to reduce the license cost. That is the first thing they need to concentrate on because many RPA tools are coming up in the market and some are much cheaper than UiPath Automation Cloud."
"Sometimes when we upgrade our Studio version, there would be some issues when we use a new version, but I would not say there is a significant negative aspect."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"I've seen the price vary by whether the client is going to scale and adopt a tool."
"Whatever investment, licensing, and resource costs together are put in for development and delivery, we are still at an ROI of 250 percent."
"Although the initial implementation cost of Automation Anywhere is relatively high compared to other options, its annual subscription cost is lower than UiPath's, which has the opposite pricing structure."
"They are already coming out with a community license, which is really good. That's something that I wish to have."
"No one is balking at the cost. They are market rates and will change, but no one is saying, "That is ridiculous or impossible." They are saying, "Show me the ROI and prove that the cost is accurate.""
"Subscription for Automation Anywhere (AA) is paid yearly."
"Automation Anywhere University is pretty good. They make it available free for everyone."
"My understanding is that the license cost of Automation Anywhere is more reasonable than UiPath and Blue Prism."
"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."
