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.

We use it for handling requests. It has reduced the IT staff required.
Handling requests - Technical service requests: hardware, software not working - Account requests: new/modify account requests to various systems - Software requests: of all types from our staff - IT related assets: hardware controlled by IT - All types of technical abuse complaints: ie copyright - Surveys about the follow-through of the staff to requests entered in the system

Assistant customer support manager
Prioritizes tasks and easily organizes messages and responses
I've not really noticed anything that needs to be improved with the solution. Generally, I enjoyed everything. Every feature LiveAgent has was a seamless journey for me. Maybe there are others who might notice one or two flaws on LiveAgent. I use LiveAgent, but based on my position in the company as a live chat professional, there is a level that I am restricted to. There are other products that are more popular and effective than LiveAgent, like Zendesk and HubSpot. They are among the most popular live chat products, and they have more users. I will advise that LiveAgent should look at what these other people are doing and use it to improve themselves. LiveAgent should add more functionalities.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"AA has improved our efficiency and saved on manual hours because no manual interaction is required."
"Document Automation is a game changer. Earlier, with IQ Bot, we achieved partial automation—around 80% of the process was automated. With GenAI and Google Vision OCR now integrated into Document Automation, end-to-end automation is achievable, even with unstructured documents."
"Object cloning with an option to enter wildcard selection was very useful when working in a web application that generated dynamic HTML content."
"Automation Anywhere's document automation, powered by IQ Bots and now enhanced with AI, stands out as a particularly valuable feature."
"Business process automation has improved the efficiency and accuracy of processes and reduced manual efforts which can be utilized in value addition for the firm."
"Compared to other RPA solutions on the market I have worked with, AA surpasses its competitors by far."
"Even as we were getting into RPA for the first time, I found it easy to understand this tool."
"We are able to satisfy our clients in ways that we did not think was possible."
"We were able to reduce the IT staff from 4 to 1.5 FTE, to handle the 2500/monthly requests."
"The most valuable feature was how the solution helped us to prioritize tasks."
"I like that this solution provides the history and control over every process connected to a building so we can see everything that's happened since we started using this solution."
"Provides service level optimization."
"My experience with LiveAgent so far has been a seamless one."
 

Cons

"I feel A2019 is still not completely ready and the discontinuing of version 11 is a negative impact for all of the users and clients."
"Most of the time, I find that our internal team finds the solution; the support team isn't able to provide a perfect solution."
"It takes a lot of effort to build up the internal infrastructure/topics like Virtual Machine/Security/development-Governance/Usecase-Management."
"Version 11 is a bit heavy. At times, it takes a toll on the computing resources. It consumes a lot for computing power. We have seen multiple instances where computers or the client has crashed because of this particular problem. Automation Anywhere can improve this a lot."
"They continue to release new features, but end users struggle to adapt to them."
"We have found that the passwords are not very stable in terms of their accuracy. We could only get 70 percent accuracy in these cases. Our clients require more accurate results. We are working toward this."
"Automation Anywhere's frequent updates are unnecessary and disruptive."
"The main disadvantage of Automation Anywhere is its high cost."
"The GUI looks a little dated."
"There are other products that are more popular."
"I'd like to see an improved API to the system, rather than other softwares having to trigger everything."
"Connection to other softwares could be improved."
"There are other products that are more popular and effective than LiveAgent, like Zendesk and HubSpot."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The major reason that we selected Automation Anywhere was the licensing model."
"I would rate the cost an eight out of ten, with ten being the highest cost."
"Automation Anywhere falls within a mid-range price point when compared to other RPA tools on the market."
"It is reasonable, but it can always be a little bit cheaper."
"They give us a good deal on the licensing because we bundle and customize things. If you ask to get a bulk business deal, you will receive more benefit. If you take other products from the suite, like IQ Bot, you can also receive a deal on the licensing."
"Automation Anywhere is expensive, making it more suitable for enterprise organizations."
"Regarding the price, licensing, and maintenance, Automation Anywhere provides its customers with its best and affordable value."
"As our team size increases, we may get some more licenses for the tool."
