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.

The tool needs to improve in the areas of security, though it is a versatile product

Inflectra Rapise needs to expand its ability. I spoke with Inflectra's executive account rep on the need to expand the tool's ability. The problem with Inflectra Rapise is that a lot of companies are still using SAP GUI. Inflectra has no intention of building Rapise in a way that allows it to interact with SAP GUI. Inflectra Rapise has very limited value for the companies I work with because they they still use SAP GUI since their top priority is SAP testing, and they want to get into automation, for which they need a tool that cannot only used to automate processes, but can also do end-to-end testing where you are not only using SAP GUI, but you are using the interface with old legacy systems that are still in use or with today's more modern technologies. In the future, the tool needs to increase its versatility. If I am at a company that uses 23 different technologies, like .NET Visual Basic, Oracle, SQL, or whatever, Inflectra Rapise needs to be made as a product that is an out-of-the-box usable tool for any technology.

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

"Features such as MetaBot and IQ Bot are very advanced and capable as compared to reading PDFs using OCR."

"From an organizational perspective, it has improved how we work and determine, "Is there a better way to do things?" and, "How can we challenge the status quo?" This builds a continuous improvement mindset throughout our organization."

"Working with the Automation Anywhere application is very easy in our environment."

"The bot creation process is relatively simple."

"It is easy to code. While you have developers, somebody with a development or workflow mindset can logically build a bot in Automation Anywhere by understanding how to put a process in a workflow. If you have that, then you can logically build a bot in Automation Anywhere. Even a non-IT or business user can just look at the bot language and understand what the bot is doing, and that's the easy part."

"Automation Anywhere has excellent features."

"Many of our tasks are automated using AA and due to ease in handling, it becomes the first choice in terms of RPA tool."

"The technical support is fine. As soon as we raise an issue, we can get the technical support that we need. They provide the solutions to our issues."

More Automation Anywhere pros

"The most valuable feature of the solution is its versatility."

"We always use the product for end-to-end automation test cases."

"The scripting of this tool is easy and user friendly."

"We saved thousands of dollars because the Rapise implementation gave us 30 or more executions for every release compared to three or four, so huge savings on manual testing effort plus easy detection of defects is very cost effective."

"Rapise is a good automation tool that's easy to use and learn, and you can share scripts as a team, which is very helpful."

"It's pretty straightforward to set up."

"The initial setup was straightforward; it wasn't complex at all, and we found it nice and easy."

"It's incredible but the support and maintenance of Inflectra Rapise's scripts is less than 30% of the effort that was involved in maintaining Selenium, it is very easy and this is the reason that we are switching everything that needs handling from Selenium to Inflectra Rapise, as it is easy to maintain and provides a benefit in cost and efforts with a 90% reduction factor in the maintenance of the scripts."

More Inflectra Rapise pros

"The low-code/no-code development aspect of the solution is great."

"The feature I like best in Pega Robotic Process Automation is that I'm able to add external DLL section codes. I can inject the JavaScript, and I can write VB.NET, C#.NET, and DLL codes, then inject those codes into the existing process. Mainly, from a development perspective, I like that feature a lot, so if anything is not supported by Pega Robotic Process Automation, then I can build that either in JavaScript or in .NET, then use those functions within the IP."

"The number of human steps that have been eliminated is significant, and we try to maximize straight-through processing."

"Using the tool actually ends up teaching you about making workflows more efficient."

"The most valuable features are the loops to lookup tables to read the data."

"In terms of measuring efficiency gains from automating routine compliance tasks in financial services with Pega Robotic Process Automation, automation consistently yields a 25 to 30% efficiency increase."

"The solution is relatively stable and we find it a good product."

"I am impressed with the tool's recording feature."

More Pega Robotic Process Automation pros

Cons

"Improvements that can be made are: It should be easier to automate tasks on a virtual machine that uses a different environment altogether."

"Regarding the UI, once you're in some of the screens there are fixed dialogues. They are a set size, so there's a lot of horizontal scrolls and vertical scrolls."

"The setup is complex because there is a lot of customization."

"Pricing with respect to the competitors is more."

"Giving access to our internal websites was not simple during the initial setup."

"I could personally use automated testing, which we currently do not have in Automation Anywhere."

"Room for improvement is more on the IQ Bot side: How quickly we can adopt and deploy it?"

"Because I am using an older version, I am rating the scalability as a seven out of 10. I feel a lack of convenience when I try to scale it."

More Automation Anywhere cons

"Inflectra Rapise needs to expand its ability."

"It has some stability issues where the tool crashes sometimes on Windows 10."

"I faced one problem where it can't validate the colour of images and text. Also, it could not automate the mobile app, and this needs to be included."

"The maintenance is very difficult. We've only been using the platform for three months, so I'm not sure if that will continue, but right now it's an observation I've had."

"What I have noticed about Rapise is that sometimes when you keep on using the same script, it fails many times."

"When there are failures in a nightly run of batches of scripts, it can create a blocking situation where all the following scripts will fail due to unexpected results."

"The maintenance is very difficult."

"It would be good if there could be more integration of Inflectra Rapise, since not all customers use the same tool for test management and automation integration."

"The development experience needs to be improved."

"Pega has a no-code low-code environment. We do everything based on established rules. You kind-of have to learn how all their rules work and how it works for robotics before you can use the solution effectively."

"I have faced many scenarios in the business workflow, where a few applications run on the Citrix environment. That could be a critical part of the process without which business won't be able to accept the automation solution. Because of one small bottleneck, you will lose a very good candidate for process automation."

"There is no two-dimensional lookup table implemented."

"The orchestration needs to be better."

"It is still a niche skill and resources are scarce in the market unless big IT companies are involved."

"Ease of use could probably be improved."

"Pega Robotic Process Automation can improve the OCR area. They don't have a powerful OCR engine to read documents or files like other tools."

More Pega Robotic Process Automation cons

Pricing and Cost Advice

"It is reasonable, but it can always be a little bit cheaper."

"They are already coming out with a community license, which is really good. That's something that I wish to have."

"The licensing cost is approximately $4,000 USD, which is a seed license."

"IQ Bots are very costly. It's not a sustainable bot for us as of now. We will look for better, alternate options for that."

"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."

"It is not too expensive, but there are many tools available in the market that can provide the same functionality at a cheaper price."

"We are not receiving the right information about their features, e.g. Automation Anywhere University, or anything that they are selling. They need to improve their documentation."

"Automation Anywhere is reasonably priced because it can sustain us for a long period."

More Automation Anywhere pricing and cost advice

"We pay no more than $50 annually for support of each one of the licenses."

"I rate the product's price an eight on a scale of one to ten, where ten means very good pricing."

"I was not involved in licensing and pricing, but it is worth the cost."

"I would rate the product's pricing a nine out of ten."

"Pega is pretty costly."

"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."

"Pega Robotic Process Automation is an expensive solution."

"The licensing cost is too high."

"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."
