Venkat Sivaprakash - PeerSpot reviewer
Management Consultant at Accenture
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.

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.

Offers a user-friendly interface but lacks enterprise-level features
EdgeVerve AssistEdge RPA is not difficult to deploy and the process was fine. Concerning deployment time, it usually takes one or two days. It totally depends upon the number of use cases and the processes where we are implementing. It might take weeks as well, depending upon the process in which we are implementing.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The best part about Automation Anywhere is the easy to use UI. It's very user-friendly. You have everything that you want in front of your eyes. You just have to drag and drop, then build your logic accordingly."
"By using this solution for RPA, we can automate a lot of business processes, which helps achieve less time to market."
"We did not encounter any stability issues with Automation Anywhere during the time I worked with the solution."
"The flexibility which has been built into it is its most valuable feature."
"Workbench, which is a development tool, is very friendly. It is complete. Compared to Power Automate, Automation Anywhere is much more comprehensive and easy to understand."
"What Automation Anywhere has done is free up more time for our staff, and they're able to handle exceptions in our processes instead of having to do the mundane, repetitive tasks they were doing previously."
"Before, there was about four to five resources to extract it, now, with automation, this has helped us reduce the time to two to three minutes, then the work will be done."
"It is a great company with a great product and support."
"We can quickly adapt to our end users."
"The support from the vendor is very good."
"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."
"The initial setup was easy and straightforward."
"If we want to change your processes, we can code it from scratch, making it a beneficial feature of the product."
"In general terms, the solution has helped our business by speeding up execution times."
"It is a valuable tool for developing efficient solutions, especially in finance and banking."
"It helps us with cost optimization and easy implementation."
"AssistEdge made it so that the reps didn't need to maneuver through 10 or 20 different systems. We tied all that together in the background, so the reps had a shared UI, and everything else happened in the background without their knowledge. When they were retrieving data, it was done in the background through automation and pulling up to that generic UI layer"
"The feature I like the most is the ability to capture elements easily, especially when automating web-based applications. Additionally, I find the SAP connectors to be quite beneficial."
"The user interface is not complicated, even for new users. Two to three weeks is enough to get ahold of it."
"There are some typical features I like such as email automation, XL automation, some AI/ML capabilities that are evolving, but are not quite mature yet, and I like the website automation."
"EdgeVerve AssistEdge RPA is more affordable than UiPath."
"Good email automation and XL automation."
"The tool follows a role-based working model to create things. It helps to track what others are doing with the system."
"The features of EdgeVerve AssistEdge RPA that customers find most helpful include the easy understanding and good UI/UX."
 

Cons

"The interface is not intuitive for business users who are used to seeing the process on a flow chart, like a Visio workflow diagram. This may be because of the nature of the way the interface is structured and the way the functions are built in list type of format."
"The time taken to execute a Bot through A2019 can be reduced."
"The feature, which might be interesting for companies that don't already have an identity management system, was a bit tricky because I would have preferred the system to directly rely on our corporate identity and access management system to manage the bot's credentials."
"In the control room, the manual bot update should be looked at."
"It may sound a little funny or weird, but one thing that we are thinking is we have to go to various websites and pick up relevant data from various websites using the bot. That is something we have seen that none of the bots have been able to really do it because the back-end of those websites do not allow bots to scrap through all these websites and get the relevant data in one place. We would like to see how the bot companies would crack this idea. But, that's why I said, this look weird because of the legal reasons why this cannot be done. This is something that I am looking forward to."
"The OCR component should allow integration with 3rd party OCR. This way we can use the best of breed solution along with AA or allow better control over OCR packages to be customized."
"When I change the name of a variable in the Variable Manager, I would really like it to change in the code."
"Licensing can also become expensive and rigid as you scale, particularly for unattended bot runners and specialized cognitive add-ons."
"They could provide more technologies for IT and security to enhance machine learning capabilities."
"In the future, they should have a similar version for the cloud and on-premises, and the installation should be flawless within few minutes."
"It's not an intuitive tool."
"The ease of use is the main thing on which they really have to focus. If they want to go against the giants, it should be improved in ease of use, and it should be more user-friendly. It would be helpful because everyone should be empowered irrespective of whether they know how to code or not. They should enhance its user interface and make it more intuitive."
"We cannot use extra modules while working with AutomationEdge. It crashes if we have lots of data to process in Excel."
"In AutomationEdge, I think there could be improvements. The variables sometimes are really confusing when you use them because the aspects around the variables are confusing, particularly the global variables and the local variables."
"While I find AutomationEdge generally stable, I believe that stability needs to be improved a little."
"With other automation solutions in the market, we can simulate the process in our notebooks where the solution creates the code for us, but with AutomationEdge we can't do this."
"We provide them with consulting and strategy advisory services, but we have never recommended any organization to use EdgeVerve AssistEdge RPA."
"In my opinion, areas for improvement in this solution lie in handling documentation, especially when dealing with data from various layouts or formats like scanned PDFs. Currently, new features are emerging in other tools, like generative AI, that could enhance these aspects."
"There should be more activities like extraction for reading or converting PDFs. There are fewer activities compared to other tools. There are no custom activities."
"Lacks integration with third party tools."
"The tool's alternatives work on drag-and-drop functionality without creating custom code. We don't have an in-built queue system and use RabbitMQ for it. The solution also doesn't have a framework."
"AssistEdge isn't a simple tool like Blue Prism or other RPA solutions with configurable items that you can drag and drop. This involved a lot of hard coding, which posed two challenges. One, we did not have that skillset, so we depended on Infosys. Two, it's a beast to go back and update or make changes when things are hard coded because you can't just move those configurable items back around."
"The solution could be improved if it provided integration with third party tools like Python, native integration, which is very important."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"I think the solution's pricing is reasonable."
"Automation Anywhere pricing and licensing are competitive compared to the other automation vendors."
"I am not sure about the costs, but two Bot Runners and four Bot Creators may cost approximately 1CR."
"More than 40 to 50 percent of the IT budget will be for the cost of automation projects in the coming years since these projects enhance operations add value."
"UiPath is exceptionally more expensive than Automation Anywhere. UiPath is far ahead of its competition, but in terms of finances, Automation Anywhere offers better value and is more effective for organizations seeking cost-effective solutions."
"Pricing is too high for small-scale groups. The Control Room yearly fee is high, making it difficult to break even."
"We have purchased licenses, but are trying to obtain more bot programmer licenses."
"One of the things that will be good for the community will be to get the free version to download, which came out just a month ago called Community Edition. So, you can actually download it and try it for yourself."
"Price-wise, AutomationEdge is pretty affordable, making it not so expensive when you compare this with other tools in the market."
"The product is available at the lowest price."
"The licensing for this solution should have a more competitive pricing model. The price is in the top five of similar products."
"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."
"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."
"EdgeVerve AssistEdge RPA is cheaper compared to other RPA tools."
