A strong choice for business process modeling with an easy-to-use drag and drop approach
I design, maintain, and govern the tool to roll it out in the company. I use the solution for business process modeling. For ADOIT, the solution is used for enterprise architecture management or the maintenance of application landscapes Besides BPMN, it's easy to handle the solution thanks to…

Accommodates diverse use cases and effectively meets customer requirements
AI agents need further improvements. AI agent technology in agentic process automation is still evolving. We have only scratched the surface, and there are many potential use cases yet to be explored. As technology advances, I believe it will enable us to implement more comprehensive automation solutions. Document Automation has issues related to speed. When I compare Document Automation with IQ Bot, IQ Bot is faster than Document Automation. My understanding is that they are still evolving Document Automation, and this issue of slowness will be resolved in the upcoming .35 version, so we are good with that. They are working on signature identification and validations for handwritten documents. Currently, we are able to extract data out of scanned but digital images, but there is still scope for improvement for handwritten documents.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"It's a very complete solution."
"ADONIS supports the project hierarchy and allows collaboration through methodological reviews and comments, enhancing decision-making."
"It's easy to handle the solution thanks to being drag and drop"
"The product is useful for designing business processes and for repositories."
"The best features of the system include good analytics for business processes including the calculation of time and cost."
"It seems that the process mapping and modeling features are well and thoroughly covered."
"We haven't ever needed to take service breaks and we can scale it throughout our company without any problem."
"We have seen more efficient processing and less number of errors due to quality control."
"It has helped us look at how our processes are organized."
"Very comprehensive with different platforms especially SAP and Oracle EBS."
"The Control Room for the bots and its ability to connect bots with APIs are the most valuable features."
"AARI allows business users to trigger the bot, so I do not have to schedule everything. This convenience allows users to utilize it as they need. I can set it up to provide users with a form to fill in all required information, and then the bot operates based on those specifications. AARI is very convenient, and that is their biggest selling point."
"Automate Anywhere can just mimic what a human does."
"The universal recorder along with the Excel basic and advanced packages has been highly valuable."
"It's really easy to use. We have a number of people at our firm who are now certified RPA developers that had no development background. They did that just by the online training in some cases. In some cases, it was the online training, as well as a three day class that we brought in-house and had taught."
 

Cons

"Rearranging things to get information from the objects and the model together to get a report out of them could be done better."
"If there's no WiFi connection, you can't access ADONIS."
"ADONIS needs improvement in its user interface functionality."
"There is a function to check if the model BPMN is being used correctly, but the report from the check is not always very clear."
"The solution is in English and we have added certain parts in Russian as this is easier for our students. It would be useful to have the system in Russian."
"This solution would be improved if 24/7 support were available."
"We have to use a different solution to automate our business processes."
"The customization feature should be made more user-friendly in order to enable the use of external reference components."
"Automation Anywhere's frequent updates are unnecessary and disruptive."
"Some NLP AI is required to work in combination with RPA, especially for reading unstructured emails."
"I would like to have a bot as a service platform on AA Cloud. This would minimize the installation process, and we wouldn't need to have all the hardware to support the platform in-house."
"Setting up Automation Anywhere is a bit complex."
"An additional feature we would like to see is the inclusion of a particular kind of scripting in the development environment itself."
"We would like to have a better debugging facility."
"The initial setup was a bit difficult and took more time than expected."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The product’s price is quite competitive."
"The product's pricing is medium, so I rate it a five out of ten."
"Licensing for Automation Anywhere (AA) is paid on a yearly basis. Out of all the RPA tools, it has the most value for money, e.g. what you pay is what you get."
"We just did a round of price comparison on a global scale and found it's so hard to compare the license prices. But, Automation Anywhere, in general, is on the same price level as the other vendors, a bit lower in some cases."
"Our costs are approximately between $5,000 to $10,000 per license."
"Automation Anywhere's pricing is significantly higher than other RPA solutions."
"If I compare it with Blue Prism, Automation Anywhere is cheaper. Blue Prism is very costly. Automation Anywhere's pricing follows the market, not less and not more."
"The cloud-based version comes at an increased cost, although our clients are happy with the new features and have not complained about the pricing."
"I would rate the cost an eight out of ten, with ten being the highest cost."
"Initially, they charged a premium, but now the rest of the vendors have increased their overall pricing and Automation Anywhere is not that high at this time. It's pretty viable."
