Venkat Sivaprakash - PeerSpot reviewer
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.

A scalable solution which is easy to install and use
I do not use the solution personally as I am not the end-user. It is merely one of the solutions that we offer to our customers. We act as consultants, solution providers. We have around 60 customers who are using the solution. I would, for sure, recommend the solution to others. I consider the profile of the project to be quite good at the moment. I rate Another Monday as a nine out of ten.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"It is highly scalable on cloud and virtual machines."
"The overall UI of the tool is so user-friendly that even a beginner can use it easily."
"This solution has helped us in several ways, the first of which is scheduling processes."
"The company continues with research and development to expand the capabilities of the product to meet market needs."
"The benefits include a reduction in tedious tasks and manual handling of tasks and time savings."
"It is easy to understand how to use the tool. For a developer, it is very easy to understand the opportunities and how to use and learn these features. It is very business-oriented."
"Web-based control is the most valuable feature. We can access it from anywhere in the world with the control room URL and in any browser. Bot Insights make our report generation and other insights view easier. We can export the data in the form of CSV, PDF, etc."
"If we want to read a scanned PDF, we use IQ Bot. Using the cognitive detail of IQ Bot and some machine learning abilities, we can train the IQ Bot to process all scanned PDF documents and give the results in an Excel file. This is a very good feature introduced by Automation Anywhere. IQ Bot is doing well."
"The solution is very easy to use."
"The initial setup is very quick."
 

Cons

"Automation Anywhere has to improve its technical features."
"Improvements that can be made are: It should be easier to automate tasks on a virtual machine that uses a different environment altogether."
"IQ Bot has been changed and enhanced for Automation Anywhere, but the accuracy is still not optimal."
"They need to improve the real-time data and analytics."
"New versions keep coming up. The challenge for us is to have the downtime to do the migrations."
"Another feature that would be cool to see in Automation Anywhere is more use of artificial intelligence."
"I feel a lack of convenience when I try to scale it."
"We would like to have more ease of use for the operations team."
"The solution should come with language customization, which would simplify its use for our customers."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"It's the best RPA tool, but the pricing could be improved."
"We brought onshore a lot of what we were doing offshore, saving our company close to $20 million."
"I am not sure about the costs, but two Bot Runners and four Bot Creators may cost approximately 1CR."
"Annually, we are paying almost one million reais."
"If it is saving FTE and Generating a good ROI then it is Worth Investing."
"I don't agree with the IQ Bot licensing costs, which depends on the consumption of the document rather than per bot or user. This is confusing for me, because most of the cases for us in a possible future scenario, there would be a lot of invalid data to be scanned to get to real data. E.g., we would have to supply approximately 100 pages of scanned data to extract two pages of original data. In these type of cases, the IQ Bot might be a costly venture."
"The price is very reasonable."
"We would like them to change the license model of charging per bot."
"There is no licensing fee for our customers."
