Featured Reviews

Venkat Sivaprakash

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.

The solution is stable and has good support, but is expensive

Betty Blocks, when I started with it, was similar to a back-end platform with the ability to have a standardized back-office UI out of the box, which is perfect for a lot of situations. For more customer-facing UIs, we had to create the front end ourselves, building endpoints with HTML and JavaScript. Then Betty Blocks started in 2018 with the page builder. This allowed us to create drag-and-drop interfaces. That was quite cumbersome. Now Betty Blocks is entering a new generation of it - next generation forms - which should be a lot better. The most valuable feature is the back end. The way we can create action flows for things such as sending emails, creating PDF reports, or connecting to web services is very complete. I never experience a lack of functionality in it. The standardized back-office UI is said to be deprecated over time, which is a shame, because it is a real time-saver and is one of their strong points, only if it was kept up-to-date.

Structured workflows have improved SLA compliance and now support prioritized incident handling

I think the licensing and pricing of ServiceNow is quite expensive compared to other tools. For large organizations, it is acceptable, but specifically for small and medium organizations to track incidents or change requests, ServiceNow is quite expensive. Sometimes performance can be slow when workflows and integrations are configured for complex tasks. For advanced customizations or advanced features which we rarely use, the documentation is not up to standard. The documentation needs to be improved for advanced customization features. However, the platform is stable overall and the features are quite good. The user experience and performance concerns I mentioned are areas I want to be improved. When many workflows and interactions are configured, performance is slow. For the features it is providing, it is quite expensive. If these performance features are improved, we can easily pay that price and get the return on investment.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"We have found that the automation bots we have developed give great savings in terms of higher productivity and efficiency."

"The integration is helpful. We have quite a few use cases where we've integrated with Microsoft tools and local record systems, such as SAP and Vertex AI."

"The scalability of this solution is good compared to others."

"The most valuable feature of Automation Anywhere is the unattended mode bots, because we don't need to go and look at what they're doing. They just go by themselves."

"The UI is very user-friendly, even for someone who doesn't have much coding knowledge."

"Automation Anywhere drastically reduces manual work for employees."

"Once we implemented the Automation Anywhere into my company, we freed up a lot of their time, so they could work on other processes."

"It has helped us a lot with our digitized work, and we have automated a lot of the bank's processes."

More Automation Anywhere pros

"The most valuable feature is the back end."

"All these components are separately tuneable, which makes it a very strong platform, and we believe that this should be considered in the enterprise market."

"It facilitates the monitoring of major incidents and provides insights into the effort expended to resolve each incident."

"There are features included in the new release for intelligent software, like the chatbot. For HR services, the HR agent which is in that chatbot has been fantastic."

"We used BMC Remedy, and it was slightly different but we went for ServiceNow because it is more user oriented."

"It's more about the ease of use of ServiceNow, plus everything is there in a single platform, and if you need any additional functionality, you just need to enable the plugins without even installing anything on the servers."

"One feature of ServiceNow that is important is the workflow engine. From my perspective [as a consultant] the power to be able to structure processes, represent workforce management for organizations, and the visibility provided by the reporting are additional top features."

"The solution is stable and the performance is good, there aren't bugs or glitches, it doesn't crash, and it's reliable."

"What I like the most is the functionality, it's features are rich, and there is a high degree of compliance with IT standards."

"In the past, I've used other products, and they're not that scalable; if you're working in a company that has multiple facilities, multiple countries, the best way to go is with ServiceNow."

More ServiceNow pros

Cons

"Sometimes, the ESX services will stop. We are working with IT to resolve this, as it's not our fault. Automation Anywhere is stopping the service, and during that time, the bot will be stopped. Right now, we are logging into the client machine and restarting/rebooting them, then restarting the services. As some of our processes run at night, we won't know that the service is down since our processes run 24/7. This issue is then escalated to the manager. This is the current challenge that we are facing, and we would like them to improve this."

"This solution saves us time but there are some things that make it clumsy for the end-users."

"We have had a lot of issues using Automation Anywhere and find ourselves stuck."

"Although Automation Anywhere is a GUI-based platform with drag-and-drop functionality, non-technical business users struggle to implement it due to the complexities of operationalizing automation within a business context."

"Automation Anywhere can be improved by reducing the time of the processes and enhancing the efficiency of people."

"They continue to release new features, but end users struggle to adapt to them."

"Automation Anywhere (AA) has a lot of stability issues. It needs a lot of maintenance."

"Unfortunately, this process was not used for a long time due to latency issues and a functionality gap."

More Automation Anywhere cons

"What I find lacking in the software is its ability to query the database."

"I would like to see full integration with AI."

"In many cases, they make choices where flexibility is a little bit degraded, but if you leave everything open and the flexibility is great then the usability is a little bit less."

"Like all other IaaS, PaaS, and SaaS subscription cloud providers, ServiceNow is constantly improving by building new capabilities to expand the breadth and depth of its offerings while increasing its activities with partners to build more capabilities."

"From my standpoint, because we don't have people who are experienced in doing the performance analytics module and stuff like that, we can't get the right reporting and it's just a beast trying to get that configured the right way."

"The installation and deployment of ServiceNow can be a bit challenging. One major issue I've encountered is that ServiceNow doesn't provide the same mobile responsiveness or features that we used to enjoy with other tools. For example, with Splunk, our response times were about five minutes, and we could manage alerts and incidents directly from our mobile devices."

"The pricing seems confusing, with the integration hub being most confusing."

"Vulnerability management could be improved. Also, integration with tools such as Microsoft Defender ATP needs improvement."

"Security and privacy issues should be addressed in respect of the IT operations data and data storage."

"HR Service Management is one module that needs a lot of improvement because it's a pretty new module. It was introduced in the last two years. It's becoming more mature day by day, but there is a lot of scope for improvement in that module."

"The capital expenditure needed to get the tool up and running is extensive."

More ServiceNow cons

Pricing and Cost Advice

"On a scale of one to ten with ten being the most expensive, I rate the price of Automation Anywhere an eight out of ten."

"I have heard that Automation Anywhere is expensive."

"Additional costs will be for the machines and the number of machines that you are using. You can deploy virtually as well as on physical machines. In both the situations, you do need to allocate a certain budget for securing the machines and where the software will be installed and running. The machines cannot be used for anything else, because only a certain bot can run at a certain time. You need to be very particular about your scheduling of running the bots, and while the bot is running nobody can use the machine. You cannot have an agent working on a machine and the bot running in the background. It has to be completely dedicated. Then there are the network bandwidth requirements and space requirements, which are additional costs apart from the licensing and software costs. The developer is also going to charge you for their coding time too."

"The control room access gives the ability to create different roles, which helps when purchasing additional licensing."

"Automation Anywhere's pricing is significantly higher than other RPA solutions."

"I feel the cost of licensing is very high for the A2019 version."

"Automation Anywhere is affordable."

"The price of Automation Anywhere is a little higher than some of the competition, such as UiPath. However, depending on the use case and other factors we are able to receive some discounts."

More Automation Anywhere pricing and cost advice

"The pricing is quite high, but the pricing is also not very transparent."

"The pricing structure that we have been working with was based on a number of blocks."

"Some time ago it was expensive, but large companies have special contracts. It's enterprise prices, and we're talking about millions per year."

"There is an annual subscription to use this solution."

"ServiceNow pricing is an art, not a science. The deal depends on how commercially savvy you are, which does make it something that is quite difficult to get right. It is most definitely an opportunity area for ServiceNow to improve and have more visibility around pricing of the different products within the platform."

"The solution is expensive."

"We are happy with the pricing."

"The licensing cost is based on your partnership with ServiceNow and what you have selected for implementation. There is an annual license cost which is calculated based on your number of devices."

"I have found the solution very expensive."

"It's sold as a less expensive solution, but it has to be highly modified. That's where you get into the cost."
