Nadeem K.

Rpa Developer at a consultancy with 11-50 employees

Automation has freed teams from repetitive finance and supply tasks and supports global operations

In the current organization, we had trouble initially because I think the documentation and support could be better than what it is now. This is one difference between Automation Anywhere and other RPA tools such as UiPath. In UiPath, if you have an issue, you go to the UiPath website and search for it, and you get lots of help materials. In Automation Anywhere, you do not get exactly what you are looking for. You get a very large number of results when you search for something, and from this large result set, you have to filter out what you need, or only partial information will be available. User handbooks are available for each product. In that regard, I would say Automation Anywhere is lagging compared to other RPA tools. It is difficult to get hold of their customer support team. I want to clarify that it is not a matter of us building logic on Automation Anywhere and it failing. When it is a product-related issue, they have to give us support because we only know how to develop within Automation Anywhere. We do not know how to fix Automation Anywhere itself. Whenever we have an issue, trying to get in touch with them always takes three to four business days.

Satender Sajwan

Operations Manager at Genpact

Gave a better output every time, reduced our touch time by 80%, and had a robust reporting mechanism to improve the process

We tested HyperScience on structured formats of the forms, and it worked really well. We tested it with semi-structured formats, and it worked well. We also tested creating a new form that does not have any format. HyperScience has less capability while working on unstructured forms. Unstructured forms are those where there is no standard structure and the information can be anywhere on the form. They need to develop this capability. Such a capability would make it a perfect system for processes like data entry, accounts tables, etc. Secondly, before putting the actual volume in the tool, I believe that we have to create a manual form every time. If the procedure of creating the forms can be shortened or automated, it would help. It would reduce the manual effort of creating a form every time you start working on it. There should be an automated form creation system that does not require any manual intervention. Whenever a new form comes, the system should be able to create a dummy form for that. That will help.

Intelligent Automation SME at a financial services firm with 10,001+ employees

Cloud platform orchestrates business processes with AI capabilities

I find the capabilities that a normal orchestrator should have to be valuable in WorkFusion. The WorkFusion 10 cloud-based platform is different from the earlier on-prem version, WorkFusion 9. The platform now includes auto machine learning and AI capabilities. We haven't used these extensively, but they are a nice feature they are working on. The platform remains stable with well-designed processes, despite being a complex and technical tool.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The graphical user interface (GUI) is very useful, since I don't know any coding languages."

"I really like Screen Recording because it is used to record a task or a series of actions."

"Not all tools give us the clear utilization of the infrastructure in place but this does and trust me, this has been proved far better than other RPA tools and that is why I see AA booming day by day."

"We have installed Automation Anywhere on AWS, Azure, and GCP, which works well."

"The most valuable feature is its ease of development; it's pretty easy for people who don't have a tech background to use and is one of the easiest tools for them to use."

"Automation Anywhere has improved our company a lot. The SLA of some tasks that we need to deliver to some clients has improved greatly."

"The scheduling feature allows for scheduling of the bots to a specific time every day, which helped remove the dependency on humans completely."

"We've delivered tremendous value in a really short amount of time and gotten a lot of support from our organization."

More Automation Anywhere pros

"It provides the best accuracy for handwritten forms, which is a struggle in the industry. You can take processes with a lot of manual work and streamline them through this tool."

"We have seen pretty good accuracy."

"For our use case, it provided a complete workflow, reduced our existing touch time by 80%, and from the point of view of technology, it is one of the leading platforms right now in the OCR world."

"Has algorithms that can detect a document template even if the image has a lot of distortions."

"I like that compared to other tools, HyperScience works best with handwritten documents."

"HyperScience is good for structured and semi-structured document extraction and it's easy to learn."

"What I liked more about HyperScience was the quality of the OCR it is a lot better compared to Google."

"Having a tool like HyperScience which facilitates the process of converting digital copies of the scanned documents and provides us with the extracted data has helped us to facilitate further automation."

More HyperScience pros

"Overall, I would recommend this solution to other users."

"It is useful that WorkFusion provides the entire infrastructure, which allows me to focus on writing code without worrying about maintenance."

"The most valuable feature is having the technology to interface into systems where we didn't otherwise have an API or some other kind of service or access."

"WorkFusion has doubled our efficiency."

"The Robotic Desktop Automation Express component allows us to do rapid development outside the normal, time-consuming processes."

"The most valuable features are the Excel activities. It has a number of Excel activities that are quite reliable."

"The tool itself is easy. I started using it without really having any coding experience... After just a few clicks, it was doing reconciliations for me."

"From a business point of view, we have accomplished what we wanted to."

More WorkFusion pros

Cons

"My biggest suggestion would be to allow us to set up test and development licenses or environments that don't use unattended licenses needed for production."

"We encountered issues during the upgrade of the framework."

"In terms of improvements for Automation Anywhere, I would prefer to see more options in packages and pricing, including a breakdown of different features and products, which would allow us to select certain products while potentially skipping others as needed."

"Now, it is a big complex to download the product and install it, then again to install the patches. So, it takes a lot of time to download it."

"The solution is costly and the licensing is very confusing."

"In A2019 the dependencies that are being downloaded take a longer time that should be reduced. Migration utility should be provided so we can easily migrate from lower versions to higher versions."

"Their bot runners could be made to handle multiple payloads at the same time because if I want to run multiple parallel operations, the number of bot runners that I have to buy just keeps increasing. It is adding to the cost. However, there is a possibility that we don't need that many bot runners, and we can run multiple operations in a bot runner. This would be a great addition to have."

"Automation Anywhere Control Room should update to the newer versions with one click, including the newer features. There should be minimum effort required from the IT organization. The major resistance from any organization is from the IT organization because they have a lot of dependencies and will sometimes resist doing changes because they have other activities and applications to manage. Future versions should minimizing their work."

More Automation Anywhere cons

"The solution is expensive."

"No solution is perfect and there are several different scenarios that could be improved in HyperScience. One area is where there are multiple tables in the same form I have seen HyperScience struggle. There is some issue with supporting the extraction from multiple tables involved on the same form. If this could improve, it would be a big benefit."

"The product's usability could be better."

"HyperScience is a stable solution, but there are some improvements needed in terms of the language support and support of dictionaries."

"One area is where there are multiple tables in the same form I have seen HyperScience struggle."

"They could work on the price and make it a bit more reasonable."

"The solution lacks support for a greater range of languages."

"HyperScience could improve the unstructured data extraction feature."

More HyperScience cons

"The product needs to be "simple and easy" to use. A good example of this is the use of Python code to perform automations. It is free and the skills transfer is able to happen quickly and the operation and initiation of the completed automation is easy to execute."

"It is difficult for non-technical users to use WorkFusion. If we really want to build automation, we definitely need Java developers."

"One of the issues that we are facing here in China, is that we cannot access the material for training because it is on YouTube. In China, we do not have access to YouTube."

"I would like it if they provided a more detailed roadmap in terms of where they are going with the product. As we are trying to make decisions about the things that we are going to do to try to augment our capabilities, we could know whether they are thinking about the same things or not."

"It is difficult for non-technical users to use WorkFusion. If we really want to build automation, we definitely need Java developers. Their RPA is not for non-technical people. If I look at competing products, like Automation Anywhere, UiPath, Blue Prism, or even Power Automate, a non-technical person can build basic automations and deploy them. Since non-technical people can easily build basic automations, they can be deployed in no time. With WorkFusion, there isn't a similar feature that works well. One needs to write code from scratch to build automation. That is definitely a deterrent if we really want to do quick, dirty automation. I would not rate WorkFusion very high on their no-code, low-code paradigm. In this area, I would definitely expect them to improve."

"The solution is not user-friendly, this is something they should improve."

"The express version does not do API calls and the Enterprise version does not do codeless coding."

"On a scale from one to ten where one is the worst and ten is the best, I would rate WorkFusion as a seven out of ten. It is not higher because they have got some work to do now."

More WorkFusion cons

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Our pricing a year ago was $600 per license."

"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 justified because we have saved quite a bit of money at the company and many manual hours. Overall, it justifies the cost."

"The price for Automation Anywhere is reasonable."

"The pricing is a bit higher."

"We're paying a monthly subscription fee for the bot and for services. There are no additional costs beyond the standard licensing fee."

"Automation Anywhere is expensive, making it more suitable for enterprise organizations."

"The solution's pricing is pretty decent."

More Automation Anywhere pricing and cost advice

"I think HyperScience is cheaper when compared to other tools. They also have a lifetime licensing option."

"I don't have any idea about the licensing costs, but I know that there was a per-page charge. They had different models of pricing. One of them was based on the minimum number of pages, and we had a fixed price. So, the price model depends on the volume that is coming through HyperScience."

"It is not the most expensive solution, but it is also not the cheapest."

"Find it online."

"The solution was not the cheapest, but it was also not the most expensive. Workfusion was very open to negotiating pricing and to working within the objectives of our firm."

"We are on an annual contract to use the solution."

"The overall cost could come down a bit in terms of maintaining the servers. Because it can handle complicated things in big use cases, the infrastructure is also correspondingly big. It would be nice to bring that cost down."

"My client is using RPA Express, which is available for them to use free of charge."

"I can't speak to pricing. It's a contract signed by upper management."

"One upgrade took a year to do, from the first server being built to the last bot being migrated. This was because we had to migrate all our existing bots. This is the same process and time frame that we are expecting towards the upcoming upgrade. I will end up spending half a million dollars to do an upgrade."
