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.

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.

Citizen developers have automated finance processes and created reusable modules across entities

There are some weaknesses, though nothing on the top of my mind at the moment. From a process and OCR point of view, for example, we are currently doing a use case about e-invoicing. We feel the accuracy that the OCR provides from UiPath Studio was not as high as we had initially anticipated. We had to not go with that module that UiPath Studio offers. UiPath Studio has an a la carte mode where you can buy specific functionalities without having to buy the whole package. We decided to test out a few other tools in the market and bought a customized tool specifically for OCR purposes because UiPath Studio's accuracy was not as great. It comes more on a use case-to-use case basis. Certain use cases that we try show that certain functionalities could be improved, and there is definitely a scope for improvement. That being said, the functionalities that we bought UiPath Studio initially for work pretty well. We wanted a centralized automation hub, an Orchestrator, and maximum license utilization for the bots we were purchasing. They are basic, but at the same time, they are easy to use. The ease of use is one of the main reasons why we still favor UiPath Studio. The AI and OCR parts are something we are looking to explore more in the coming year, and that will probably give us more insights into the functionalities and their value. At the moment, we use Oracle as our ERP. We have not had much success integrating with Oracle so far. UiPath Studio offers a lot of customized integrations for SAP, but not much for Oracle Cloud. We had to leverage our internal ERP in-house team to build integrations. We used Oracle Cloud integrations rather than UiPath Studio integrations with respect to ERP. Every conference or event that UiPath Studio organizes, when we have a chance to speak with someone from UiPath Studio, we bring up Oracle Cloud integrations. I believe that in Europe and the US, Oracle Cloud is growing in usage, so we would appreciate more effort focused there. However, with Salesforce, we used a couple of cases with customer service in our company, and we integrated with it very smoothly without any blockers. At the moment, we have not explored AI and ML capabilities of UiPath Studio as much as we should have. We conducted a series of process discovery workshops in our company, and the use cases we received did not require AI or ML functionalities because they were core finance operations, and we did well with just the regular functionalities of UiPath Studio. We are still looking forward to finding a case where we could leverage AI and ML capabilities. We do not want to use AI functionalities just because we want to use them. It is more of a situation where we ask if it is needed, and we are still looking forward to finding a case that demands the need for AI functionalities or a nice-to-have feature. At the moment, we still have not used or explored those things of UiPath Studio.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The Automation Anywhere software has improved our organization by moving us into the RPA climate and allowing us to save on our overhead."

"Our return on investment is high."

"Automation Anywhere's image reader is the most valuable feature."

"I find the terminal emulator feature very valuable, particularly in how it interacts with IBM mainframe automation."

"I utilize all the commands provided by Automation Anywhere, such as all the recorders. I use these commands to develop my processes and bots."

"We are getting massive efficiencies across our back office, internally."

"AA control room is one central system to manage our tasks. We found it excellent to administrate. It was used for easy scheduling of process/task in Remote desktop. This helped to avoid manual intervention to trigger tasks."

"I found the new feature of integrating Python and HTML the most valuable."

More Automation Anywhere pros

"The use of AI has freed up time and resources for other tasks in our company. We are a little bit more of an ad hoc approach right now. I just finished up a new cross-set of processes about two weeks ago that allowed us to onboard a client. I wouldn't have been able to without this automation. It would have taken a couple of months of several people's time to get them to get all this work done in the back end."

"Our business has been highly satisfied with the RPA solutions that we are providing thanks to UiPath."

"It is stable when you create the bot in the first instance."

"A key feature of this solution is its built-in VM orchestration capabilities, allowing us to manage virtual machines without additional setup."

"We liked the forward-thinking approach of UiPath Platform, and the pricing was on par with Blue Prism, making it seem a better choice."

"Among the key features that I find quite helpful are Orchestrator support, Automation Hub, Process Mining, and Document Understanding..."

"The solution helps reduce human error."

"The simplicity of creating automation from a low code level is the most valuable feature of the solution."

More UiPath Platform pros

"UiPath Studio is good for automating business processes and repetitive tasks within my company."

"I have seen a return on investment because we have saved around one million dollars on a yearly basis with our 1,000 bots."

"There are a lot of great things in UiPath Studio; whatever is required for the development is there, and I do not think I face any difficulty during the development of any use case from UiPath Studio's side."

"Compared to other tools, UiPath Studio licensing cost is low."

"Right now we have it deployed, and it is dealing with about 50% of our document volume."

"The fact that with UiPath Studio we can build reusable modules that we can use across automations has been specifically very useful to us as a company and team driving this project."

Cons

"Another feature that would be cool to see in Automation Anywhere is more use of artificial intelligence."

"The scalability of Automation Anywhere's cloud version is excellent, but the on-premise version is a waste of time and money."

"The capability of understanding and extracting documents is not very good."

"I would like to see them continue building out documentation with more video-aides."

"Enhancing the support tiers might be beneficial, and pricing has been a primary challenge, with a need for cheaper options and more tiered support."

"In the version that we have, there are some challenges with the browser-based applications, the cloning of the objects, and the solution's stability."

"MetaBot still needs to be optimized, though Version 11.3 did integrate all the commands into it. We are not able to see all the lines of code which are executed in MetaBot."

"Many clients use the Citrix environment but AA has very low functionality to automate a Citrix environment."

More Automation Anywhere cons

"The attended bot functionality is in need of improvement."

"The UiPath Studio development suite response can be a little sluggish, depending on the workflows you use. I use a lot of legacy workflows, and the application response is slow."

"Debugging has some room for improvement, but other than that everything seems to be just amazing."

"Assessing an AI center's role in orchestrating various elements of AI capabilities is quite constrained."

"We only use the UiPath Community for support. It would be nice if a team of developers or a support person were available to help us work internally on our project. That would be helpful."

"There is a very steep learning curve for business users."

"Looking to go from structured to unstructured data, then UiPath needs to be able to handle understanding natural language and scanning of documents which are not well-written or visible, in terms scanning quality. These are probably the easiest target areas to improve on first."

"To exceed the expectations, it needs to be easy to debug, not only easy to craft."

More UiPath Platform cons

"On the improving side, concerning costing, I am not sure because the cost of the new product is very high."

"In terms of improvement for UiPath Studio, while we are currently using the AI capability, I find that Copilot is not that reliable."

"Some of the recent upgraded versions, the package sometimes create problems, so that has to be tested first and then it should be available in UiPath Studio, because everybody wants to use the latest package, but sometimes when we are using the latest package, it creates problems."

"We feel the accuracy that the OCR provides from UiPath Studio was not as high as we had initially anticipated."

"We are not seeing improved ROI because the bigger chunks of use cases we have already addressed. When we take it down to the medium size, the cost of development and deployment is something which is prohibitive and it doesn't make a good financial business case."

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Automation Anywhere is flexible in terms of costing and licensing."

"Yearly, our licensing costs are about $90,000 to $100,000. There will be additional licensing costs when we add more Bot Runners to our infrastructure."

"The licensing fees are approximately $10,000 USD for between five and ten users."

"Automation Anywhere is affordable."

"It is not too expensive, but there are many tools available in the market that can provide the same functionality at a cheaper price."

"We are a partner of Automation Anywhere and find the pricing to be reasonable."

"I really enjoy the pricing options with Automation Anywhere, as they are able to flex their ability to adapt to the needs of the customer really well."

"We were paying approximately $30,000 for a year license."

More Automation Anywhere pricing and cost advice

"The initial investment cost is expensive, but I promise you guys this will be very helpful as we can easily automate applications and our productivity has increased."

"Whether UiPath has reasonable or expensive pricing depends on the scale of your organization. It could be pricey for startups, but the pricing would be okay if you belong to at least a mid-level organization."

"We are set up for annual licensing and will be taking the time to renew."

"UiPath is affordable compared to Blue Prism or AutomationEdge. A basic license covers the cost of implementation and recurring fees that depend on the complexity of the processes and workflows."

"Compared to other RPA tools, UiPath is a much more expensive solution."

"The cost of UiPath is reasonable."

"We have 200 licenses for bots in production and pay between $200,000 and $300,000 per year currently."

"It is expensive for our country."
