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.

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.

Cloud platform orchestrates business processes with AI capabilities
I find the capabilities that a normal orchestrator should have to be valuable in WorkFusion. The WorkFusion 10 cloud-based platform is different from the earlier on-prem version, WorkFusion 9. The platform now includes auto machine learning and AI capabilities. We haven't used these extensively, but they are a nice feature they are working on. The platform remains stable with well-designed processes, despite being a complex and technical tool.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The ease of use for the end user and the very low complexity in trying to build a bot are the big factors for us."
"One of our customers here in the Middle East has saved around 10,000 man-hours for a telecom company with the help of 50 to 60 robots initially, and now the same company is using around 4,000 robots now."
"Simple processes such as tracking, logging, and data consolidation are now automated, which helps us focus more on doing tasks that are impactful and more important."
"We are able to satisfy our clients in ways that we did not think was possible."
"By using this solution for RPA, we can automate a lot of business processes, which helps achieve less time to market."
"Scheduling helps to generate and send reports without any delay."
"We have found that the automation bots we have developed give great savings in terms of higher productivity and efficiency."
"The solution is very easy to implement."
"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."
"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."
"Compared to other tools, UiPath Studio licensing cost is low."
"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."
"The Control Tower enables us to create and use workflows. It helps us run processes. There are a lot of small features, but the Control Tower is a very good feature, wherein we can create bots and schedule them as well as create different instances of them to run in different regions."
"The automations that we built are massively important to us."
"The Robotic Desktop Automation Express component allows us to do rapid development outside the normal, time-consuming processes."
"This product helps us by automating functions in finance, where users are able to have attended bots and save time by handing processes to the bots to run while they continue their own work."
"The customer support is very responsive."
"The platform remains stable with well-designed processes, despite being a complex and technical tool."
"If it is the first time a customer is a victim of fraud, he gets a refund within 10 to 15 minutes."
"The most valuable features are the recorder because it's user-friendly and the integration with other tools Excel."
 

Cons

"I have experienced the issues of UI getting stuck. There seems to be an issue with server stability. This is something that can be better."
"Since it is not an in-house solution for ERP systems or CRM systems, automating those things requires additional effort."
"I would like to leverage the AI component without the requirement to know a coding language, such as Python."
"It is frustrating at times to experience this instability, but we do find a solution and we are working on it to be better."
"In the current organization, we had trouble initially because I think the documentation and support could be better than what it is now."
"A2019 is less stable than the previous versions."
"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."
"It is not always predictable 100% of the time. While it has improved with each version, some unexplained issues still exist."
"We feel the accuracy that the OCR provides from UiPath Studio was not as high as we had initially anticipated."
"In terms of improvement for UiPath Studio, while we are currently using the AI capability, I find that Copilot is not that reliable."
"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."
"On the improving side, concerning costing, I am not sure because the cost of the new product is very high."
"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."
"One thing we didn't like was their OCR solution. We felt it's somewhat inefficient."
"I would like WorkFusion to improve the automation rate when evaluating unstructured text."
"The product needs to be "simple and easy" to use. A good example of this is the use of Python code to perform automations. It is free and the skills transfer is able to happen quickly and the operation and initiation of the completed automation is easy to execute."
"I would rate the product as seven out of 10. It is definitely not a nine or 10 because there are certain shortcomings in it."
"I would rate the stability as four out of ten. I frequently face issues with infrastructure and some WorkFusion-related problems, such as login issues."
"If we're talking from a developer perspective, the task of actually building automation is not ideal. That's not their strong side."
"The problem with the solution is that it is agnostic, so it's not made for banks. Sometimes we are challenged because of this. We have to make everything from scratch to make it work for our clients."
"I would not recommend this product for large automation projects because it gave us problems in terms of space and the speed at which it was executing."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The licensing cost is approximately $4,000 USD, which is a seed license."
"I've seen the price vary by whether the client is going to scale and adopt a tool."
"It is not too expensive, but there are many tools available in the market that can provide the same functionality at a cheaper price."
"It is reasonable, but it can always be a little bit cheaper."
"Annual licensing costs would be about $100,000."
"The control room access gives the ability to create different roles, which helps when purchasing additional licensing."
"This solution costs approximately $3,500 USD per license."
"If it is saving FTE and Generating a good ROI then it is Worth Investing."
Information not available
"The overall cost could come down a bit in terms of maintaining the servers. Because it can handle complicated things in big use cases, the infrastructure is also correspondingly big. It would be nice to bring that cost down."
"The pricing is fair because WorkFusion's out-of-the-box solution is appealing."
"Find it online."
"We are on an annual contract to use the solution."
"They have a very expensive license compared to any other automation tool. For instance, at $50,000 - $60,000, you can bring in an Automation Anywhere solution. For this solution, you need at least $250,000 to get something going."
"In addition to the licensing fee, there is also an implementation cost for each use case and technical support costs."
"The solution was not the cheapest, but it was also not the most expensive. Workfusion was very open to negotiating pricing and to working within the objectives of our firm."
"I can't speak to pricing. It's a contract signed by upper management."
