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.
Jajati Panda - PeerSpot reviewer
Software Engineer at Apmosys
Delivers increased productivity and streamlines fraud processing in banking, though technical support could be faster
Before AutomationEdge, we had to hire coder-level experts with Java or Python knowledge. This approach took considerable time and required error handling to automate processes. With this tool, all processes are automatically handled with errors, and no-code automation is available. The cost for a developer is now significantly lower. Previously, we hired highly efficient developers with high salary packages. The license cost of 5 to 10 lakhs per year for one person to automate is equivalent to a person's annual salary. With the license and a developer hired at 3 to 5 lakhs, we can automate 40 to 50 processes.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"Automation Anywhere has surely helped our organization to shape its Digital Journey - It was our first RPA tool which helped us to perform basic automation which created Point solutions but has added tremendous value at the early stage. We were able to scale-up fast using Automation Anywhere due to its user-friendly AI and later on IQ Bots provided the required edge to handle the unstructured data."
"By automating those processes we achieved high ROI, great customer satisfaction, better STP, reduced manual work, reduced processing time, high accuracy, and 24/7 working capacity with the AA bots."
"We did not encounter any stability issues with Automation Anywhere during the time I worked with the solution."
"The integration is helpful. We have quite a few use cases where we've integrated with Microsoft tools and local record systems, such as SAP and Vertex AI."
"The overall UI of the tool is so user-friendly that even a beginner can use it easily."
"Automation Anywhere has saved us a lot of time, money & efforts by automating our ServiceNow tickets."
"There are many features that are valuable including Whatsapp messages, OCR, and image recognization, but I have not tried all of them."
"From a developer perspective, the user interface is user-friendly and easy to use."
"The product's most valuable feature is the executor."
"Attended versus unattended automation in AutomationEdge has benefited my organization significantly."
"The initial setup was easy and straightforward."
"It is a valuable tool for developing efficient solutions, especially in finance and banking."
"The studio design is fine compared to other similar products. There is nothing extraordinary about it, but at the same time, there are not any negatives."
"We can quickly adapt to our end users."
"AutomationEdge is really easy to use because the workflows are simple."
"Stability-wise, I rate the solution a nine out of ten...I rate the technical support of the solution a nine out of ten."
 

Cons

"The key area where improvement can happen is understanding the different perspectives and different industries that they're serving in terms of industry-wise use cases."
"Since Automation Anywhere's Japan office was only recently opened, it seems the support has not been as good as support for other package applications."
"As of now IQ Bot only takes/fetches the record of the places that we have marked. e.g. Invoices fields that are dynamic in nature are very difficult to fetch the data from the scan copy. If this feature gets added, it will save a lot of time for developers."
"I never use Automation Anywhere in the attended space because they are bad at that, at least compared to other players like us or UiPath."
"When we need to upgrade the bot version for various applications like SAP, the compatibility issues could be easier to resolve. The financial team is using version 5 or 6, but the automation engineer recommends only version 6 because it is more compatible. I think Automation Anywhere could handle these compatibility issues better."
"I would like to have the ability to work on a remote desktop connection, run the recording on it and use all commands."
"Especially while using v11, I often experience freezes with OCR extraction from PDF files."
"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."
"With the solution, customizing software can be time-consuming."
"They could provide more technologies for IT and security to enhance machine learning capabilities."
"The licensing for this solution should have a more competitive pricing model. The price is in the top five of similar products."
"The installation process could improve. It was difficult to complete."
"We cannot use extra modules while working with AutomationEdge. It crashes if we have lots of data to process in Excel."
"AutomationEdge's primary issue is its price point, especially compared to other products."
"There are some shortcomings in the product's stability that need improvement."
"When compared with other tools such as Automation Anywhere and UIPath, they are more stable than AutomationEdge."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"There may be room for the product to be more competitively priced to excel in the market."
"The cost of this solution is a little bit high, but it is worth the price."
"Although the initial implementation cost of Automation Anywhere is relatively high compared to other options, its annual subscription cost is lower than UiPath's, which has the opposite pricing structure."
"It is not too expensive, but there are many tools available in the market that can provide the same functionality at a cheaper price."
"Their licensing processes are in par with most industry standards."
"The licensing cost of Automation Anywhere is better than UiPath and Blue Prism."
"We brought onshore a lot of what we were doing offshore, saving our company close to $20 million."
"Pricing is too high for small-scale groups. The Control Room yearly fee is high, making it difficult to break even."
"I give the price of the solution a nine out of ten."
"Pricing can be made better. Currently, I think the pricing is based on the market. The pricing also depends on the business partners that offer you the solution."
"Price-wise, AutomationEdge is pretty affordable, making it not so expensive when you compare this with other tools in the market."
"The licensing for this solution should have a more competitive pricing model. The price is in the top five of similar products."
"The product is available at the lowest price."
"It is expensive but its value can justify the cost."
"If you are looking for a budget solution, you can consider AE. It has all the features. Scaling it is way easier because of the cost itself."
