Automate has streamlined workflows and increased efficiency with powerful automation

The best features of the solution are the flexible automation features, it is rich with beautiful connectors, and it is easy to use with little to no coding knowledge required to get started, so anybody can use the tool. The intuitive interface of Automate has an intuitive design, which makes it easy to learn and use even without a strong technical background, and it has a drag-and-drop interface, which makes everything so easy and straightforward. The error handling capabilities in complex automation tasks are powerful, as it handles all types of tasks, whether complex or simple. I've never faced any problems even when dealing with complex tasks, so everything is super smooth and highly reliable, even when dealing with big tasks, as it has never slowed down. Automate's compatibility with existing IT infrastructure has impacted our business operations positively by providing smooth integration with other software that we use, such as Gmail, Jira, and Microsoft 365 apps, which gives us a unified platform instead of having to keep switching from one software to another, saving a lot of time and streamlining the whole workflows. The automated analytics have helped improve our business processes since it has increased our efficiency by automating our everyday tasks, freeing up time for us to focus more on strategic activities such as analyzing data and developing new business strategies. It is also cost-saving. By minimizing manual labor, it decreases human errors that can lead to costly mistakes. By automating the tasks, it helps to save costs, and it also improves our accuracy by reducing these errors to ensure that tasks are done almost perfectly.

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.

Saves time on manual processes and provides alerts on special scenarios

The installation process is quite straightforward, although some database knowledge is required for setting up the base. Alternatively, someone with the necessary capabilities can handle this step for you. Overall, the installation is especially easy for Windows platforms. Deployment can be completed in three days. The number of people required to manage the tool depends on the size of the environment. One person may suffice for smaller environments, while larger environments may require two or three individuals. The frequency of scheduling requests, additional responsibilities within the environment, and the company's specific needs all play a role in determining the necessary staffing. One or two individuals can handle the maintenance if the setup is stable with minimal changes. However, in the case of frequent changes, more staff may be needed to manage the tool.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The product effectively handles all the tasks we require."

"Automate helps me reduce manual work by automating tasks such as access keys and security rotations that we were not able to automate before, diminishing human dependency, and helps minimize errors."

"Web scraping is quite good since it offers a lot of possibilities."

"The intuitive interface of Automate has an intuitive design which makes it easy to learn and use even without a strong technical background, and it has a drag and drop interface which makes everything so easy and straightforward."

"This tool has machine learning and voice recognition and computer vision, which are both quite useful aspects. These aren't available in other tools. It's a good addition to this tool and it gives the solution an edge on the market."

"We have found the pricing to be very reasonable."

"I like the interface; it makes managing automation easy. We can set different schedules and templates for each task."

"I find the ease of use from a programming perspective very valuable."

More Fortra's Automate pros

"It save us time and provides ROI as a monetary benefit because it reduces FTE, the number of headcount working for a particular project."

"Automation Anywhere is very easy to use; it's a low-code platform that a person who doesn't have any technical knowledge can use."

"What really helps RPA to grow is the cognitive part of it. That's where the product is really good. Initially, it started out as RPA, but now there is a cognitive aspect to it. That's a key value to it."

"It improves accuracy and reduces manpower. It is easy to learn."

"I like the OCR feature, where we can capture information from PDFs."

"The best feature is its ability to combine Automation Anywhere with AI to build intelligent bots."

"Automation Anywhere performs efficiently."

"The benefits include a reduction in tedious tasks and manual handling of tasks and time savings."

More Automation Anywhere pros

"The Action Packs are a good feature."

"The tool's online manuals and documentation are good. Its user interface is user-friendly."

"The most valuable feature of Automic Automation Intelligence is the ability to see all of the batches from one place. Additionally, there is a multiple scheduler that is useful."

Cons

"I would prefer not having to log in to update a ticket; being able to respond via email would be beneficial."

"The user interface could be slightly enhanced to make it more modern."

"I would like the updates to be easier to deploy. Integration with Amazon S3 is somewhat lacking."

"Currently, there are many instances where I see empty logs, indicating that, while tasks are scheduled, commands are not executing successfully."

"The documentation for errors needs improvement as many of the error messages we receive are very vague."

"It's possible that they could use a stronger community for seeking guidance and help."

"We really need a free development environment for customers. Building and testing automation on production isn't ideal."

"They do not encrypt passwords, so this is an issue with HIPAA compliance."

More Fortra's Automate cons

"Automation Anywhere can also be improved in machine learning and artificial intelligence. It would make our lives easier."

"Especially while using v11, I often experience freezes with OCR extraction from PDF files."

"Custom models with advanced features can be included in the IQ Bot models for unstructured and semi-structured data."

"The debugger is also a weakness of the tool, forcing the developer to use error handling or message box to map errors. Few applications take more time for loading when integrated."

"While exporting a package, an option to de-select all the depending/referenced files should be available. Currently, it only allows for selecting all the files. Also, the views should be re-sizable as they are currently a fixed width. This would enable to view long file names easily eliminating any chances of exporting the wrong file."

"Automation Anywhere could improve by incorporating better integration with DevOps."

"An option should be provided to disable the flow and dual-mode since those are not used often by the developers, and hence take up extra space on the screen."

"The data migration could be better."

More Automation Anywhere cons

"The job reporting feature needs improvement."

"Integration of the solution could be improved."

"The solution could benefit by having more connectors and customized widgets. Additionally, a dashboard that people could use for videos would be helpful."

Pricing and Cost Advice

"I'm only involved in running the product and maintaining the systems, so I can't speak to the cost."

"It has gone up in price. The price of Fortra's Automate has increased since we first started using it. It does a lot but also costs a lot. It was a lot more affordable before Fortra owned the software."

"I believe the price falls within a reasonable range, which significantly influenced our decision regarding the product. This aspect is crucial for any technological solution, especially in our country where enterprises might be hesitant to invest heavily in something untested or uncertain about its practicality and potential returns."

"The cost is a bit high for a small business like ours, but we manage with Fortra's Automate."

"From a distributor's side, one of the biggest selling points is its price point. Without going into any numbers, compared to UiPath, Automation Anywhere, and Blue Prism, we're significantly cheaper. The main difference is that other competitors usually charge you per process. However, in Automate's case, it's priced per bot. So, a bot can run multiple processes at the same time, but you are only priced for a single bot."

"The pricing is quite reasonable. We can run the process with one bot. The limitation is at the server level because they have some resources, and sometimes that is enough. It isn't too expensive, so you can get a good return off of one, and you can also have a pack of five bots that is quite competitive."

"I like the way this solution is priced because you can buy a license, or you can buy the software outright."

"Compared to other products, the pricing model for this solution is much more convenient, flexible, and adaptable to the Portuguese reality."

More Fortra's Automate pricing and cost advice

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

"It costs up to $1,200 per license."

"Subscription for Automation Anywhere (AA) is paid yearly."

"On average, a bot runner in Automation Anywhere can cost $5,000, while in Microsoft Power Automate, you can get most of the same functionality for $100."

"It is the most economically friendly and it provides you with a lot of functions."

"The cost for scalability is much cheaper than developing a new system."

"We were required to purchase licenses and bot runners, which determined the permissible run times for the bots."

"The ROI is really good. We have saved time and money."

More Automation Anywhere pricing and cost advice

"Automic Automation Intelligence's licensing costs are expensive and can be yearly or monthly."

"The price of Automic Automation Intelligence depends on the connectors used. For example, if you wanted to connect to Dell BMC, you would need a connector."
