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.

User interface streamlines task automation and improves efficiency

akaBot made a noticeable difference at Wika because it is lightweight and easy to use, and moreover, akaBot has a forum to answer many questions. The ease of use stands out because the design of akaBot is very friendly. The best features that akaBot offers in my experience include the UI automation in the browser or in the Windows application. What I appreciate most about the UI automation in browsers or Windows applications is the auto-generate selector in a browser and Windows application. This feature makes a difference because it reduced most of the time developing the bot.

No-code workflows have streamlined daily operations and support seamless cross-application automation

Microsoft Power Automate's no-code workflows help my team in daily operations to a great extent. Automating a particular activity may not be so useful, but when you connect the whole workflow, then it starts helping a lot. I cannot say much about the best features in Microsoft Power Automate because I have not used it personally, but first of all, it is very easy, it is a low-code platform, and Microsoft has a lot of integration with Microsoft technologies, making it very easy to connect with MS Teams and different Microsoft products, including MS Azure. From that point of view, it provides a lot of connectivity options. From a cost point of view, Mendix is much more costly compared to Microsoft Power Platform, allowing us to develop applications very quickly.

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

Pros

"What I appreciate the most about Automation Anywhere is how easy it is to use."

"In Automation Anywhere, I appreciate the main UIs very much; they are very intuitive."

"With RPA, specifically with Automation Anywhere, it has really helped us engage with those clients and achieve the results that they want."

"We have automated our critical functions, like supply chain management and purchase orders, and we have staff who have been moved out of the mundane tasks and are now doing value-added activities."

"You do not need to have IT skills. I come from a finance background, so I can attest to the fact that you do not need IT skills to use Automation Anywhere to leverage it on your teams."

"Automation Anywhere consistently ranks at the top, matching our vision and strategy for implementing transformative solutions."

"Automation Anywhere has helped us with efficiency and accuracy."

More Automation Anywhere pros

"akaBot made a noticeable difference at Wika because it is lightweight and easy to use, and moreover, akaBot has a forum to answer many questions."

"The cost is affordable, and it fits our requirements."

"The email routing, consolidation of the reports, and management features are strong."

"The most valuable feature of this solution is the native integrations with other Microsoft products, including SharePoint, Office 365, and Microsoft Teams."

"WinAutomation is very easy to use; it's a code three platform that works very easily with documents to create custom automations and also allows users to share their automations with colleagues, so users can send and receive automations quite easily."

"The solution is comparatively quick to deploy for making smaller automation processes."

"Its complete integration with Microsoft tools and the inclusion of the CRM are the most valuable features."

"It is a very useful product as compared to other products."

"You can automate almost everything in your organization by simply dragging and dropping and selecting a few options, whether it's an Excel spreadsheet or other on-premise data."

"The sequencer programming mode's ease of use is its most valuable aspect. The ease of calling out the functions in a sequence, basically from the functional side, is great."

More Microsoft Power Automate pros

Cons

"There can be some options to connect to the database directly where we should be able to add some data."

"We've had some technical difficulties connecting, but that's more on our environment and how we have the machines and everything set up. It's not specific to Automation Anywhere. However, it's pricier than some of the other tools."

"The IQ Bot has not yet succeeded in living up to its reputation due to its high cost, low ROI, and its inability to meet client requirements."

"We are having trouble creating a reliable and stable situation in our environment."

"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 feel that document extraction like IQ Bot can be made more refined so that it may reach its full potential."

"Automation Anywhere could improve by better integrating with DevOps. Currently, it cannot be integrated 100% with DevOps methodology, which many companies are requiring."

"The initial setup is difficult because Automation Anywhere does not have a GitHub integration. They need to build a patch for that."

More Automation Anywhere cons

"If they can provide more intelligent automation, it would be beneficial."

"I used UiPath before akaBot, and I think UiPath has more features than akaBot."

"Tech support could be more hands-on. Right now, they simply direct users to documentation instead of directly dealing with issues."

"Use it for basic workflows, but I wouldn't recommend it for anything that is mission-critical."

"I've had issues with reordering columns. When I tried to do it, it seemed to take a long time, and then, later, it gave me some kind of error."

"Execution of workflows could be improved."

"The stability of the product is not very good and can even fail with simple projects."

"It is not yet stable. It is a new solution, and it is not completely stable."

"The tool must be more stable."

"The solution could benefit from mirroring Oracle's use of videos and community forums to help users get acquainted with the product. It could use better online training and/or documentation."

More Microsoft Power Automate cons

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Price is where I'm least satisfied. Other vendors are more willing to offer discounts."

"They have a ridiculously expensive bot licensing structure, especially for the Asian region."

"They recently launched a Community Edition, which is okay, but they should have done this a long time ago."

"The licensing cost could be improved. It costs a lot. At the very least, the developer licenses and the control panels should be made free to enterprises, and the production environment licensed."

"It is fantastic. It has been great. It is perfectly priced for the quality received. When paying for quality, that is exactly what you get."

"Automation Anywhere is somewhat expensive. The prices are slightly higher, but if you need something, you must pay for it."

"I am not sure about the costs, but two Bot Runners and four Bot Creators may cost approximately 1CR."

"The setup cost for this is onetime and licensing is based on your choice of product."

Information not available

"I don't deal with the financial side. I know that we pay for a per-user license. It is probably less than $20 a user, but I am not sure about the exact figures."

"It has a cost-effective pricing model compared to competitors."

"Initially, we had a Microsoft account for Office 365. Later, we discovered that our license included access to Power Automate at no additional cost. There was a small fee for additional features, but it was negligible compared to the benefits. There are not any additional fees required to use the solution."

"On a scale from one to ten, where one is cheap and ten is expensive, I rate the solution's pricing two to three out of ten."

"The licensing price should be more cost-effective."

"Comparatively, WinAutomation is cheaper than the other automation tools. When we purchased the license, it was around $50 or $60 per user most probably per month."

"Its licensing cost is comparatively less as compared to Automation Anywhere. We have bought a two-year license agreement."

"I am not aware of the recent pricing model, but during the time that I was using this solution is was reasonable."
