Executive SummaryUpdated on Dec 4, 2024

Robocorp and Python RPA compete in the RPA space. Robocorp has an advantage due to its cloud-native architecture, enhancing flexibility for enterprises.

Features: Robocorp provides cloud-native flexibility, enabling seamless scaling and integration, making it ideal for complex automation workflows. It supports large-scale deployments through a robust framework. Python RPA, as an open-source platform, offers extensive customization using Python libraries, allowing cost-effective automation solutions. Its flexibility makes it suitable for budget-conscious businesses.

Ease of Deployment and Customer Service: Robocorp's cloud-native design simplifies deployment with streamlined updates and scalability, along with integrated customer support for consistent, responsive assistance.

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.

Helps streamline operations, the error handling capability is fairly good, and integrations are easy

Keyword-driven automation has been beneficial in streamlining operations. The error handling capability of Python RPA is fairly good in managing exceptions. I rate it a seven out of ten. We've integrated it with Jenkins and with our release pipeline. It was fairly easy. We had no issues with integration that we couldn’t deal with. The dashboard is simple. We export it to Excel or Power BI and make it look pretty. For our initial use, the dashboard is okay.

It's easy to create Python libraries and custom scripts for a particular client and general use cases

We've had conversations with the head of Robocorp over Slack about things we want to improve. We want to introduce some packages, but the authentication tokens and many other things are not there. We can do it in Python, but the custom packages are unavailable. We would also like an integrated PDF reader and better integration with custom solutions. The built-in Excel customization is limited, but we can still accomplish what we want using Python. We must rely on Python to customize processes in Robocorp. I don't know about the latest IDE from Robocorp, but the old one doesn't have a lot of activities. I don't know if they have updated the UI in the latest version, but they could improve that. The UI selector isn't that great. It would be nice to take elements from the console and customize parts. Everything is based on command lines, which I do not like. A flow chart with block items would be good for optimizing code. I would also like more support tools for developers so it's easier to understand when passing code to others.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"On a scale of one to ten, I would rate Automation Anywhere a nine."

"Automation Anywhere is excellent for integrating with other solutions. It provides the ability to leverage the APIs of third-party solutions. We use some of the already built-in MetaBots to then scrape the data and manipulate independent data that we need in order to integrate with other third-party solutions."

"It helps improve performance and helps companies save time and money."

"Overall, I would rate Automation Anywhere a nine out of ten."

"Automation is going to become a new area we will certainly encourage a lot of people to pursue because of the lasting dividends it provides, including saving time and manpower."

"We used to set up 150 to 250 products in a week; that has come down to a day, and now I initiate the bot, go home, and by the time I am back it is done, so time is something that we are saving, we are becoming more efficient, and our partners are happy."

"This solution has gives us greater employee satisfaction because manual recurring work has been reduced."

"It is quite strong in the unattended space."

More Automation Anywhere pros

"It's possible to use the solution with other tools. It's very agile."

"Instead of writing multiple lines of code, we can do it in a single statement."

"Keyword-driven automation has been beneficial in streamlining operations."

"Time complexity is reduced and the execution speed is much higher."

"It offers high scalability and enables automation in ways that haven't been possible before."

"The solution is based on Python which makes it very valuable."

"The price is good."

"Robocorp is based on Python, so you can use Python scripts and create libraries for your use cases. Building libraries and custom scripts for a particular client and general use cases is easy. We can reuse those scripts for other clients, so we start seeing benefits quickly."

"It supports Python runtime because of that, runtime also improves."

"The process execution and all features are very good."

"As a developer, I found it easy to integrate third-party applications with Robocorp. I have previous experience with Selenium, and I found the Robocorp framework to be accessible because it uses Python and Selenium keywords."

More Robocorp pros

Cons

"Operationally, there's room for improvement, especially in the area of high-availability and deployment."

"When working with Excel, unlike other tools such as UiPath, Automation Anywhere does not have the standard variables for .Net data types."

"The IQ Bot is pretty immature, in regards to AI and machine learning. I would like them to add additional logic."

"We'd like to see more AI features."

"Cloud was one of the features we wanted to see, because it makes it much easier. The second feature is ease of use in terms of agnostic operating system."

"Automation Anywhere will sometimes announce releases or updates in their roadmap, and we wait for them, but they do not happen on time or at all."

"I would like to see integration better integration with Excel and SAP."

"When we try to process structured documents but with some little pen marks, improper partitions, or faded documents, IQ Bot fails to extract data properly out of them."

More Automation Anywhere cons

"Support could be improved."

"It can be expensive to deploy a lot of models in the cloud, especially if there are large amounts of data."

"When we call an API and there is an error, it doesn't tell you what the error is."

"Robocorp is still in development, so most of the keywords are a bit confusing. I have to alter lots of automation steps between processing and development. However, Selenium is due for an update soon, and Robcorp is addressing some of the limitations caused by the previous Selenium version."

"We would also like an integrated PDF reader and better integration with custom solutions. The built-in Excel customization is limited, but we can still accomplish what we want using Python. We must rely on Python to customize processes in Robocorp. I don't know about the latest IDE from Robocorp, but the old one doesn't have a lot of activities."

"We use the latest version of the process studio and it takes up a lot of CPU storage. In our case, this has been up to 14 GB of storage."

"There are certain libraries in Python, such as those dealing with PDF automation and word files, that require the presence of certain external dependencies in the environment to be successfully used."

"The deployment process is complex and not straightforward, especially for legacy modernization."

"An additional feature I'm looking for in Robocorp is SAP automation."

"The solution could be more stable."

"I don't like the complexity of deployment."

More Robocorp cons

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Our annual licensing costs are around $100,000 a year."

"We generally follow the Gain-Sharing Pricing model, which enables the customer to start getting the RPA benefits right from day one of their implementation."

"Licensing costs range from $50,000 to $200,000."

"We save approximately 10,000 hours per year."

"The pricing strategy for us is one license for development. It is more complicated than that depending on the options you choose."

"The control room access gives the ability to create different roles, which helps when purchasing additional licensing."

"In terms of monetary savings, we automated a bot in three days that has saved us $30,000 in costs."

"We are not receiving the right information about their features, e.g. Automation Anywhere University, or anything that they are selling. They need to improve their documentation."
