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

"One of the most valuable features is object cloning, the ability to get into websites and do things faster."
"It frees individuals up from mundane tasks so they can concentrate on being more active and creative other things that they need to do."
"By using SNMP configurations and Excel, I was able to read the mail. I used this functionality to categorize the fabric, then I used this information to correlate the value to Jira along with Excel."
"Automation Anywhere has a Bot Store. E.g., you can download the bot from the Bot Store and utilize it's data extraction capabilities. You can extract unstructured data through IQ Bot. Getting unstructured data is not difficult. I once obtained an 84 page PDF file using an IQ Bot. This was just the trial version, and it was really good. I was able to get all the circuit IDs and properties that wanted in a simple CSV format. I had not seen anything like this before. When compared to other platforms, such as UiPath, they don't have these capabilities right now. They have activities like PDF extraction, but that's not good enough."
"We needed scalability and the ability to perform 10,000 or 1,000 or 200 tasks at any moment. No other software that we have had could provide such scalability and is built in a modular way."
"We can do automation for some complex issues."
"It has the ability to tag different components within the automation. We built it to track the ROI and stability of the product."
"My understanding is that the initial setup is pretty straightforward."
"Being able to deploy in shorter cuts."
"The backend is great."
"Predominantly, it enables financial services organizations to build up process knowledge and improve operational efficiency."
"The product is relatively user friendly, it does what you need it to do."
"It's easy to set up."
"The most valuable feature is the integration model."
"The product helps us build solid business use cases."
"The initial setup was simple. One can know how exactly the process performs just by clicking a few buttons."
 

Cons

"We are still hoping to see improvements in its ability to have the client answer automatically and reconnect when Windows updates are applied."
"I would like to have the ability to schedule bots by whichever one is available."
"An additional feature we would like to see is the inclusion of a particular kind of scripting in the development environment itself."
"Some NLP AI is required to work in combination with RPA, especially for reading unstructured emails."
"We have had some quirkiness happen when integrating the Automation Anywhere with other solutions, such as weird Excel issues or temperamental legacy system issues."
"I am looking forward to seeing writing on Linux in the web and WorkBatch in the next release."
"The technical support has been a little slow to respond to our inquiries."
"We have been a little frustrated by the frequency of cache releases."
"The UI could be improved."
"I would like to see a better version of the solution."
"With the new release, I have some problems. Actually with Signavio, many of the processes are not viewable for unclear reasons. The product itself is reachable most of the time, but some processes are not there. Some pages do not loading at times."
"The challenge for a solution that utilizes modeling notations, is that the look and feel of the models (e.g. in BPMN) is pre-defined."
"The area that could be improved in SAP Signavio Process Intelligence is its Journey modeling feature."
"SAP has to figure out a better way to price it. Their licensing structure isn't ideal as it's based on data; therefore, it's hard to estimate client costs."
"The solution is not very intuitive. It is very complicated to use."
"There could be more standard interfaces for importing data from the various systems in the process landscape."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"In most of the cases, the product value is very good. If the infrastructure, implementation, and framework are good, then generally, the client can get a good return on investment."
"The initial setup and licensing fees are high, and although it saves costs in the long run, reaching the break-even point can take at least six months."
"Its price is competitive with all other products in the market."
"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."
"There are a lot of savings in terms of effort and time as well as costs. Automation Anywhere automates a lot of processes. It allows an organization to save the efforts of a lot people. It saves a lot of time because people can't work a whole day (24/7), but Automation Anywhere bots can."
"Despite being less expensive than UiPath, Automation Anywhere remains cost-prohibitive for many small and medium-sized businesses."
"The cost can be reduced a little for users."
"Based on what I've heard, it's costly, but I don't know much about its pricing."
"The solution is expensive, and I rate it an eight out of ten."
"It is a fairly expensive solution."
"The costs of the solution require transparency since sometimes it refers to the number of users and sometimes the amount of volume that is used"
"I would not say the product was terribly expensive but I would not say it was cheap either."
"The pricing is expensive."
