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.

Omni-channel routing has transformed case handling and now supports complex field operations
From my experience, we might need queue-based alignment in Omni-Channel routing. Assignment rules should be defined at the flow level. The challenge with SLA creation is evident in escalation rules, which should include a field flagging feature that is lacking in the current setup. Einstein Bot, linked with Omni-Channel messaging, is complex to define, with a need for all related information in one place, making the process cumbersome. Understanding which bot is associated with specific messaging apps requires manual searching, and this can be improved.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"If we talk about the automation RPA, it definitely has worked very well for us, giving good savings of more than 180 FTEs after implementing more than 200 plus bots."
"RPA platform with a good accuracy rate, variable management, and OCR feature. It has a straightforward setup."
"You do not need to have IT skills. I come from a finance background, so I can attest to the fact that you do not need IT skills to use Automation Anywhere to leverage it on your teams."
"Looking at overall feasibility from features to costing perspective, I strongly feel Automation Anywhere offers a lot of features and scalability and is a very good tool overall and people who have not tried should give a try and put some hands-on."
"We offer them a cost and time-effective solution for repeated and time-consuming processes, which surely help a lot in terms of improving quality."
"Once we implemented the Automation Anywhere into my company, we freed up a lot of their time, so they could work on other processes."
"Within one minute we can view more than one thousand students and their results."
"Automation Anywhere has helped me save both time and costs, with savings of approximately eight million in the last two to three years, and in terms of percentage, I saved around thirty to forty percent of time compared to before using Automation Anywhere."
"The solution is a great product. It's hosted on a platform that offers various features, such as email, social media, phone calls, and chatbots. You can connect with customers through any of these channels."
"The most valuable feature of the solution is the traceability of actions."
"The three major pillars of Salesforce Service Cloud are the SSL, Chatter, and the Dispatcher Console, which routes calls to the technicians."
"It's a cloud tool, so it is easy to set up."
"There is an out-of-the-box feature for reporting and analytics"
"The instant input of feedback into the CRM systems by case management is one of the impactful features"
"The most valuable feature of Salesforce Service Cloud is its ease of use."
"I started to use it two months ago and absolutely love it."
"Customer service has been one of the best for any software provider we have seen; any issue we had was solved quickly."
"Vision Helpdesk has a very small price but has many functions, and compared with others their price is 3-5x lower for similar functionality."
"If you are looking for an affordable solution for your business but want all the features of something you would expect to pay highly for, choose Vision Helpdesk! Trust me - you won't look back!"
 

Cons

"Replacing the list of search options with voice commands for each item would be great."
"Automation Anywhere's UI is difficult. Its user interface can be improved."
"If we are going through the high availability in the IQ Bot setup, it's a bit complex."
"Using Automation Anywhere is neither easy nor hard, but against IBM Robotic Process Automation, IBM Robotic Process Automation wins."
"I would like to see more stability around scheduling a bot to run headless."
"If you are not on-premise, then you will need to have Citrix automation."
"Currently, Automation Anywhere's debugging functionality is minimal."
"Support is not very satisfactory."
"The product should be capable of delivering complex reports as per company requirements without the need for a Tableau license."
"The solution's integration with the main ERP is a little cumbersome."
"The main concern for me revolves around the speed of certain integrations."
"While there is extensive reporting in the system, there is not always a direct route to get what you are looking for."
"The governor limits are a headache sometimes."
"I would like to add some bot features."
"The product's high price is an area of concern where improvements are required."
"This is the one area that I really dislike about Salesforce. Dealing with their Level One support is a nightmare."
"I think I'd like to see a more user-friendly interface in the user-ticket view."
"Their live-chat support needs work."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The cost is affordable, which makes an easy barrier to entry for the RPA market."
"They have a ridiculously expensive bot licensing structure, especially for the Asian region."
"We're just starting to renew our license, and we were quoted $115,000 without the IQ Bot. The IQ Bot is another $30,000. This is with very limited pages, as we go through our first projects. The majority of the cost was for ten days of onsite training."
"I would rate the price of Automation Anywhere a six out of ten, with ten being the most expensive."
"The solution is costly and the licensing is very confusing."
"We have a three-year contract with Automation Anywhere."
"Pricing is affordable and I would recommend beginning with the Starter Package."
"I would rate the cost of Automation Anywhere as a six out of ten, with ten being the most expensive."
"Salesforce Service Cloud is a bit expensive."
"We pay a yearly licensing fee for Salesforce Service Cloud, which is expensive."
"The tool is pretty expensive."
"Salesforce is very cost-effective."
"Salesforce Service Cloud is a highly expensive solution"
"I believe that in our country, Colombia, we utilize this platform for the Latin American region. In terms of expenses, it's somewhat higher compared to other products. I would rate it as expensive and nine out of ten."
"The licensing is flexible. Companies pay for what they use. However, a company with very small needs might find it difficult to justify the cost. Overall, it's in the medium price range."
"The price is too expensive."
