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.

With an easy initial setup phase in place, the tool needs to provide functionalities like web scraping to users
It is a very scalable solution. In ElectroNeek, you can build your project in modular programming or with the use of sub-programs. You can have a lot of sub-programs that make up a whole project. If you don't wanna use the drag-and-drop activities, you can use JavaScript or Python instead. So it's very useful when you are working with things such as SPS. Actually, you can write scripts to support all the product functionalities with Python and manage the product's functions. You will find a company named Apollo Studios on the website of ElectroNeek. I think they are one of the best companies in South Africa that entered into a partnership with ElectroNeek.

Regional Director at a tech vendor with 10,001+ employees
Has raised concerns due to outdated framework and high ownership costs
Pega Robotic Process Automation is a temporary solution to a bigger issue, and the cost of implementation especially with Pega really stops customers from proceeding. The total cost of ownership could be improved. From a technical perspective, the product performs adequately. The installation can be quite complex as it's not standalone, and customers need to get the whole Pega platform up and running. The total cost of ownership is not very attractive. RPA as a concept is outdated now, with agentic AI becoming more prominent. We don't see much interest from customers in going down the RPA route; Pega Robotic Process Automation is losing its prominence in the market.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The development tools are very good. It's very user-friendly and easy to develop and deploy with Automation Anywhere. Ordinary people, within a few weeks, can develop a bot using the tool."
"Automation Anywhere provides the best application to use for RPA and other automation requirements. It's very easy to use and easy to understand. It's UI(user interface) which is so friendly and easily understand by the user, it is very easy to install automation anywhere product simply click on next to install, it is easy to develop bot and no coding knowledge is required to develop"
"It is easy to use. It helps to reduce your man-hours and manual effort."
"We are working with one of the bots where we send claims through WhatsApp. Any user could take a photo in WhatsApp, then send that data to the organization. Now, whenever a photo is takes, different phones have different primary resolutions, and the data being captured is not clear data. At that moment, the data is automated to a very power system which centralizes the process to one point. This is what we are using for the insurance provider. They fill out the claims form and send this information to the organization, then we use automation tools to automate the process and come to a conclusion."
"We have seen AA bringing immense value to the clients once operational."
"AA RPA has drastically reduced speed of execution and thus turn around time of processes, ensuring all service level agreements are met and our customers get a great experience."
"I would rate Automation Anywhere overall a nine out of ten."
"The tool feature I found the most valuable is Metabot, as we can include the DLLs that are proprietary written code in .NET or other technologies."
"It's a very stable product."
"The cost is the best thing about ElectroNeek."
"My favorite feature is that you can have unlimited bots without having to buy more licenses. That's a powerful option for scalability."
"We find the OCR feature very valuable, due to the corrector recognition that it provides; this is very useful for document processing."
"The product's initial setup phase was easy."
"ElectroNeek was extremely easy to use, especially its UI was easy to navigate with limited training."
"The product's setup is straightforward."
"The drag and drop feature, which is no code, is very useful for me because I am not a technical person. It is very user-friendly."
"Pega Robotics offers all the required features to build end-to-end process automation like any other similar tools. It's unique development style using data line and control flow line makes it easy to debug through the flow."
"The number of human steps that have been eliminated is significant, and we try to maximize straight-through processing."
"The data entry and the automation of data entry are the most valuable aspects of the product, as it was very smooth and very seamless to create automations with no scope for any errors, making it really error-free and very helpful for us."
"Using the tool actually ends up teaching you about making workflows more efficient."
"I am impressed with the tool's recording feature."
"The most valuable part of the solution is integration with CRM tools, as this product offers seamless integration with other tools and is much more useful in digital transformation."
"The most valuable feature of Pega Robotic Process Automation is the technique: you can create a user interface that can interact with a human being for attended robots."
"The solution's ability to create adapters quickly is its most valuable feature."
 

Cons

"I have seen that the South American support is not as good as it should be."
"Another feature that would be cool to see in Automation Anywhere is more use of artificial intelligence. Right now, RPA is basically limited to a bot which is simply following the instructions that it was given. However, what would be really useful is if a bot was able to more flexibly respond to issues. For example, sometimes there are erroneous errors and pop ups. With good code, you can certainly build your bots to be able to handle that. However, it does take time and a bit of technical know-how to be able to do that."
"We do not have the AI Agent Studio feature of Automation Anywhere available yet in our government GCC environment."
"Cost-wise, it should be reduced."
"They continue to release new features, but end users struggle to adapt to them."
"It is good for standard procedures with an SOP. For those, it works well. But there are processes that are tricky and need human intervention and intelligence. In those cases, the process gets stuck."
"The availability of material in terms of more technical documentation could be improved, particularly in-depth information about how things can be done."
"IQ Bot does have some limitations."
"The integrating capability of the product needs to be improved, to ensure that it works with all systems involved in a process."
"ElectroNeek comes with three activities and we cannot add activities like we can with uiPADs."
"It's not applicable to very large enterprises and for difficult work or more complex processes."
"Its price could definitely be lower."
"The pricing is an area with a shortcoming, and from an improvement perspective, it needs to be made cheaper."
"I think that this solution could improve remote desktop interactions."
"The solution works well with Google Chrome, but not with Microsoft Edge, which is the browser we use for automation."
"The solution needs to improve its stability."
"It's difficult not knowing when alerts will arrive."
"They have tied the deployment with the Pega BPM product, the robot manager. You need to have the BPM installed."
"Rule versioning and deployment to enable parallel development could still be improved​"
"The new players such as UiPath and ABBYY are moving very quickly, but Pega is not. I'd definitely like to see Pega doing a few more interesting things on the AI or machine learning front so that we can use the platform for multiple things."
"Pega's main drawback was that you have to go and install their platform and their platform is meant to be their main selling point with robotics just a small part of what they do."
"Ease of use could probably be improved."
"What I don't like that much in Pega Robotic Process Automation is its monitoring tool because that tool is tightly connected with the platform. If the Pega team can deploy the monitoring tool separately, so that it's a separate solution altogether, then that would be good because currently, if you have to use the monitoring tool, then that means you have to use the Pega Robotic Process Automation platform. The initial setup for Pega Robotic Process Automation also needs improvement because it is complex. The only additional feature I'd like to see in the solution is for the monitoring tool to be a stand-alone rather than being tightly coupled with the Pega platform. Looking at the current features of Pega Robotic Process Automation concerning application automation, it covers most of my needs currently."
"The handwritten structured and semi-structured data recognition accuracy is much lower and is an area that definitely needs to improve."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"If you are looking into Automation Anywhere, get the Community Edition and play with it."
"Regarding the price, licensing, and maintenance, Automation Anywhere provides its customers with its best and affordable value."
"One of the key features that we chose, the bot as a service or the BotFarm, when they launched version 11.3, they decided not to have the BotFarm anymore. This put us in a situation because we expected to have bots on demand, just like our cloud software. This would have been cost efficient for us to use. We hope to see this again being realized with A2019. I hope the scalability from an on demand basis improves."
"The pricing that we received from Automation Anywhere in the beginning was very economical for us. We've seen a lot of benefit from what we spent to what we're receiving. From the beginning, it's been a very low-cost implementation for us."
"It is subscription-based. They have different schemes. The price depends on how you negotiate with the local partner or local representative in your country."
"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."
"If you look at the capital expenditure, Automation Anywhere is number two to UiPath. But if you take a long-term view, on a scalable model of a large number of bots coming out, it slowly goes on to become the costliest tool. There is something they can do about that. The capital expenditure goes out right at the point of buying the tool. For Automation Anywhere, I would need to spend $20,000. UiPath can give me something for $6,000, while Blue Prism will come in at $300,000."
"Additional costs will be for the machines and the number of machines that you are using. You can deploy virtually as well as on physical machines. In both the situations, you do need to allocate a certain budget for securing the machines and where the software will be installed and running. The machines cannot be used for anything else, because only a certain bot can run at a certain time. You need to be very particular about your scheduling of running the bots, and while the bot is running nobody can use the machine. You cannot have an agent working on a machine and the bot running in the background. It has to be completely dedicated. Then there are the network bandwidth requirements and space requirements, which are additional costs apart from the licensing and software costs. The developer is also going to charge you for their coding time too."
"It's very affordable and the licensing is billed on a yearly basis."
"I give the price an eight out of ten."
"I believe we had a Silver Membership or something similar annually."
"On a scale of one to ten, where one is cheap, and ten is expensive, I rate the pricing a seven."
"My company has made a payment towards the purchase of a license from ElectorNeek."
"Its price could definitely be lower. Its licensing is on a yearly basis. There is no additional cost to the standard licensing fees."
"In terms of Pega Robotic Process Automation pricing, I would rate it a five out of five because the solution has a good price. Pricing is not very high, though I'm unsure of the exact cost, based on my experience, the price for Pega Robotic Process Automation is less than Blue Prism because I worked with a few clients that have both solutions and my clients prefer Pega Robotic Process Automation over Blue Prism particularly because of the licensing costs."
"The licensing cost is too high."
"​I was not involved in licensing and pricing, but it is worth the cost​."
"Pega is pretty costly."
"I would rate the product's pricing a nine out of ten."
"Pega is as competitive as the basic players such as UiPath or Automation Anywhere. UiPath is the most expensive, but Pega is at par with Automation Anywhere."
"Pega Robotic Process Automation is an expensive solution."
