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.

Automation has reduced manual reporting tasks and improved delivery speed
Software AG ARIS Robotic Process Automation has an opportunity to be improved in many ways, especially with AI. I see some improvements there and it can definitely be enhanced. Maybe even leveraging the cloud product rather than having Software AG ARIS Robotic Process Automation running on your local network would help. Because now you need to connect through a VPN. I understand because organizations don't want to share their data. However, using it as a subscription service can help to connect from anywhere. But then you just need to make sure that the data also complies with the POPI Act and all of those other acts for protecting the data.

Automation has transformed document processing and frees teams to focus on higher‑value analysis
Sometimes, we encounter system errors that could be resolved via support, but connection issues are more frequent in enterprise applications. However, these can usually be solved by raising tickets if you are part of an enterprise, though we are not, which makes it somewhat challenging. It is vital to ensure the connections of UiPath Platform are maintained because it has a larger community. If UiPath Platform website included more features and documentation accessible easily, it would greatly enhance the experience. Instead of continually needing to raise support tickets, having a documentation hub where details can just be entered to retrieve required documents would be extremely beneficial.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"Our primary use has been to automate a few mundane tasks in the organization, which really helped us in this COVID situation, easing everyone's tasks, ensuring they were completed on time and without errors, keeping our customers happy, and enabling our vendors to help us meet customer satisfaction without compromising on anything."
"Not all tools give us the clear utilization of the infrastructure in place but this does and trust me, this has been proved far better than other RPA tools and that is why I see AA booming day by day."
"We have some bots which are saving a week or month of multiple employees' times."
"Excel automation is one of the best features in Automation Anywhere. If we have to work with multiple excel sheets with lots of rows and columns, it gets really difficult to keep track of this is done manually. But Automation Anywhere makes it really simple and error-free."
"Automation has been playing a significant role in every aspect of our institution."
"Automation Anywhere is a decent competitor and gives a better solution."
"Our developers love it. It is fairly simple to use. Sometimes, we are able to even bring people on fairly quickly, like interns, and have them use the software. Then, we are able to see some real benefit out of it fairly quickly."
"Automation Anywhere has improved my organization by automating many rule-based and nonjudgmental processes in domains like telecommunications, human resources, financial services, and daily or monthly reporting."
"The automation features of Software AG ARIS Robotic Process Automation have assisted us to deliver quickly, especially if you have captured everything on ARIS, then you just need to run a report, and some of the elements are automated."
"UiPath Platform has given me confidence related to compliance, regulation, and governance while dealing with our clients."
"I think UiPath Platform is the best; based on my research, I think it's one of the best for enterprise-level automation, while we use multiple tools for personal automation, but for enterprise-grade automation, I think it's the best out there."
"I would say the most valuable features of UiPath are the scalability and the stability of the product as well as the ease of use and rapid deployment."
"UiPath support is pretty good. It's adequate when needed. Fortunately, they have UiPath Academy and other information out there, so you don't need to use it often."
"UiPath Platform has reduced human error, and processes have been automated where human error has dropped from fifteen percent to zero percent or less than one percent."
"It's easy to automate rote tasks with UiPath."
"We have about 62 bots running in production today and saving around close to 600,000 hours a year of manual work."
"We are definitely seeing a return on investment with savings in both money and time for the company, and as a small organization, it is at least 200 hours of business users' time saved every month."
 

Cons

"I would like to see more bots available right out-of-the-box in the SAP area."
"As far as the stability is concerned, some unknown errors do occur. While I am sure the Automation Anywhere is working to improve this, there is room for improvement."
"Automation Anywhere could improve by incorporating better integration with DevOps."
"The licensing model could be a lot less complex, mainly due to their different structures, which are not straightforward."
"Scalability has been a pain point; the scalability is there, but there are ongoing operational issues with it."
"From a QA and development perspective, we would like to communicate with the tech support through email and have that put in the dashboard. This would let us better track the ticket and make it easier for us to communicate with Automation Anywhere."
"There are occasional bugs in the system but technical support is quick to address them and deliver solutions, patches, and upgrades."
"There are some business areas for which this tool is not capable of doing, such as in the areas of graphically-based input."
"Software AG ARIS Robotic Process Automation has an opportunity to be improved in many ways, especially with AI."
"They should define a yearly baseline build version that would support the next features without having to upgrade all the time."
"We struggle with handwriting recognition. If we had something, maybe in Document Understanding, that would work well with handwriting recognition, it would help us out a lot. Right now, we use an outside vendor for that."
"What I'd like to see is more tutorial videos on YouTube. Maybe they could have a YouTube channel, and the community could empower more content creators to make how-to videos. When clients call us with issues, we wouldn't have to explain."
"Improvement should definitely be made in the area of screen capture, where Adobe Flash is still being used."
"What I'd like to see is more tutorial videos on YouTube."
"In the UiPath Academy, there's not much documentation for Document Understanding and Process Mining. Documentation for some of the newer tools needs to be added to the UiPath Academy."
"UiPath can improve by enabling us to target specific use cases based on the departments within an industry, rather than just focusing on the industry itself."
"Overall, at this point, the AI models and machine learning models are not very accurate."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"We were required to purchase licenses and bot runners, which determined the permissible run times for the bots."
"Automation Anywhere is somewhat expensive. The prices are slightly higher, but if you need something, you must pay for it."
"The solution's pricing is pretty decent."
"Automation Anywhere has an advantage in terms of licensing. It is more cost-efficient compared to all other RPA platforms. It is a recommended solution when clients need a cost-efficient automation tool to perform unattended automation."
"Automation Anywhere University is pretty good. They make it available free for everyone."
"It is the most economically friendly and it provides you with a lot of functions."
"They are already coming out with a community license, which is really good. That's something that I wish to have."
"The cost of Automation Anywhere is high in Turkey due to the weak economy."
Information not available
"The pricing is good. They offer a Community edition that we currently use, which is free. Their paid pricing is pretty affordable for businesses as well."
"It comes with a high cost, but the value it delivers justifies the expense."
"UiPath's licensing costs can be high, and to maximize their value, customers need a clear plan for utilization."
"With respect to the cost, you're going to recognize the savings immediately for the cost of the tool."
"Pricing for UiPath isn't very competitive. After discounts, it costs around fifteen thousand euros, while Power Automate gives you the same features for only a thousand euros."
"I began learning UiPath with the Community version, which is available free of charge."
"UiPath is expensive which is why we need to have bots that run 24/7 to maximize the work and justify the cost."
"UiPath is expensive."
