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.

Krupesh Shah

Account Director at a tech vendor with 10,001+ employees

Automation has transformed invoice and bank processing but still needs faster setup and better integration

Automation Anywhere AI Agent could be improved in a few ways. Since I am currently working with Salesforce and I understand that to compete Automation Anywhere as a middleware product with Mulesoft or Informatica, the implementation phase needs to be quicker. The POC is always successful, but the implementation phase has to be quicker. The business needs to understand this better. Automation Anywhere should get into the business team and focus on explainability at the business level, not just a technical thing, but in the language or discussion where the business team can understand. There is clear business reasoning missing right now. The learning is strong within the process for sure, but there is limited reuse of learning across processes, which I think is very important. Simple model governance for business users is needed so that anyone should be able to use or create bots on Automation Anywhere. Right now, consultants and partners are needed in place. Additionally, Automation Anywhere should have native integrations with core platforms such as Oracle, SAPs, Salesforce, and ServiceNow. It should have out of the box integration rather than going for APIs because the deals which are not getting closed with Automation Anywhere or UIPath are purely because these organizations do not have out-of-the-box connectors available.

Nishant Chauhan

Senior Data Engineer at LTM

Accelerated production models have transformed fraud detection and streamlined compliant AI workflows

There are three additional things I would like to add about DataRobot. First, it is not magic; the saying 'garbage in, garbage out' still applies. If your data is messy, has leaks, or the wrong target, DataRobot will just build a bad model faster. It is important to spend time on data prep. Second, free alternatives exist; if the budget is tight, H2O.ai, AutoGluon by AWS, and PyCaret in Python do similar AutoML. DataRobot wins on MLOps with enterprise support, but open-source options win on cost and control. Finally, if you need deep learning for images and text or want full control over every model detail, coding it yourself in Python, TensorFlow, or PyTorch is still better. DataRobot is best for tabular data with business predictions. When it comes to improving DataRobot, I see a few functionalities that need attention. First, the pricing with access is a concern. Enterprise pricing starts at approximately $100,000 per year, which means startups, students, and small teams can't even test it. An improvement would be a real tier, like a $500 per month startup plan. Alternatives like AutoGluon and H2O.ai win here because anyone can try them. Currently, DataRobot operates on a try before you buy basis, which leads to a sales call rather than offering direct sign-up. The second improvement would focus on control versus AutoML trade-offs; while AutoML is fast, sometimes you need to tweak something in preprocessing, but DataRobot hides a lot under the hood. The suggested improvement would allow more granular control without leaving the UI, letting power users directly edit the blueprint code. I would like the ability to change one line instead of rebuilding the whole thing.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The company continues with research and development to expand the capabilities of the product to meet market needs."

"One very useful feature is the IQ Bot, which is helpful in the operation of the data input process to all of their applications."

"It has saved us a lot of hours, manual effort, and we can focus on more important tasks, which helps us with our ROI."

"The most valuable feature is the screen recorder, which helps to automate processes easily."

"Automating a tedious manual process has helped to reduce manual work and the time taken to process the records."

"This is a perfect solution for us and Automation Anywhere helps us to close many deals."

"Automation Anywhere has positively impacted my organization by saving millions of dollars over the past several years since we implemented it, along with saving a lot of hours, achieving a lot of ROI, realizing a lot of value, and significantly reducing urgency and stress."

"My experience with Automation Anywhere is quite good because we can automate the whole end-to-end process with no human intervention, and we are able to focus on higher-value activities rather than working on the same repetitive tasks, which is quite important and gives the highest impact to the business as well."

More Automation Anywhere pros

"Since all three benefits are achieved—accuracy, efficiency, and cost saving—the business impact and dollar impact is really high."

"By automating repetitive processes such as data entry, report generation, and transaction processing, I reduced manual effort significantly as tasks that earlier took hours now take minutes, resulting in clear time savings."

"I feel Automation Anywhere AI Agent is better than Blue Prism in that specific context."

"Previously we had five or six processes which used to be done manually by different people and that has been transformed using DataRobot because agents now are doing the same thing, resulting in a lot of money saved and around $2 million in cost savings for the bank."

"By automating highly technical aspects like model comparison, DataRobot enhances productivity and reduces project timelines from three months to less than one month."

"By using DataRobot, we save the work equivalent of almost four to five people who are experts in Python and AI, as we can do the same tasks more easily with this tool."

"The best features DataRobot offers are the graphs and the KPIs that are shown in the model performance section, which are really interesting."

"DataRobot is highly automated, allowing data scientists to build models easily."

"DataRobot helped speed up getting the model into production to three weeks versus four to six months, and the accuracy improved by catching 40% more fraud compared to the old rules with 60% fewer false alarms, which meant fewer angry customers getting their cards blocked."

"It's easy to do MLOps operations. It's a lot easier to manage jobs and see the logs if there's any drift in a model."

"DataRobot can be easy to use."

More DataRobot pros

Cons

"The product is good, no doubt about it, but we need the OCR for handwritten documents, the web-based solution, and the licensing has to be improved."

"They can provide more features for desktop application automation. They don't have extensive capabilities for automating desktop applications."

"Automation Anywhere should improve its OCR command, as it's my observation that I have faced data loss or improper data being extracted."

"The initial setup was complex because we had to make sure all the security aspects were approved by our leadership."

"With the user interface, a lot of the parts of it I really like, but there are some things that could be made a little simpler. A little less clicking around here and dragging over there to use."

"I believe there is room for improvement in Automation Anywhere, particularly in their training programs, which need more development."

"My experience has been that if the person who codes the bot is not very well-trained, then they might create unstable bots."

"However, maybe because this is a new version with a change in platform, it still has some bugs."

More Automation Anywhere cons

"When considering weaknesses and improvements, the platform does not give us the liberty to use our own features where we can bring out creativity."

"The OCR and document understanding of Automation Anywhere AI Agent still struggle with complex and unstructured formats such as invoices with multiple layouts, poor scan quality, or handwritten fields."

"The implementation cost even for a POC was very high, and that was a pain for all the customers."

"The necessary improvement for DataRobot is its high licensing cost."

"The business departments will love to work with DataRobot because they use the tool to investigate their data, such as targeting what they want to investigate. They don't need any data scientists near them. They can investigate at eye level and bring into the BI tool, or can bring it to the data scientist. Data scientists can use this tool to bring increase the solution to the maximum. All the others can use it, but not to the maximum."

"Enterprise pricing starts at approximately $100,000 per year, which means startups, students, and small teams can't even test it."

"One way DataRobot can be improved is that for some non-technical people, it is very hard to understand some terminologies."

"There is a lack of transparency in the models; sometimes it feels like a black box."

"There are some performance issues."

"DataRobot is a UI-based tool, which means it cannot provide all the features I might manually implement through notebooks or Python. In this aspect, I see room for improvement in its functionality."

"All the others can use it, but not to the maximum."

More DataRobot cons

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Our advice is that anybody interested in this product should negotiate product bundles in order to reduce the cost of installation and setup."

"On average, a bot runner in Automation Anywhere can cost $5,000, while in Microsoft Power Automate, you can get most of the same functionality for $100."

"It looks like it will be right around $115,000, not counting IQ Bot, which we won't renew until later."

"The setup cost depends on multiple factors, so you need to get details before choosing."

"It is the most economically friendly and it provides you with a lot of functions."

"It's the best RPA tool, but the pricing could be improved."

"The licensing needs to be made simpler or shortened."

"We have a few licenses. They cost roughly $10,000 each."

More Automation Anywhere pricing and cost advice

Information not available

"We dropped the plan to use DataRobot, because we found the pricing to be on the higher sise. We liked DataRobot a lot, but due to the pricing, we dropped that idea."

"The price of DataRobot is good because if you take the price of the solution which is approximately $65,000, it is less than a data scientist. There are very few data scientists available."
