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.

ICT Manager at a legal firm with 11-50 employees

Provides good stability, but it could be intuitive and easier to use

The product’s current version could be easier and straightforward to work with small IT organizations, similar to the older version. Its asset management feature has been significantly affected since the upgrade. Earlier, it was able to perform skill-based routing automatically. We could set up parameters within the system and view the details of the incident or a ticket. The same functionality needs to be fine-tuned in the new system.

Raja Farrar

IT Service Delivery Manager at Symposiam

Automation and AI have transformed our service delivery and have made IT support faster and more efficient

I always keep up with Freshservice's roadmaps and new features. Freshservice has been very good at listening to feedback and adding those feature requests into their next iterations. I wish they would offer more granular data export options for utilizing in Power BI, along with predictive analytics for capacity planning and SLA breaches to enable more proactive support management and reduce firefighting. While the dashboards are effective, some users find custom reporting limited compared to ServiceNow or Jira. I would also appreciate deeper integrations, especially for niche apps requiring development coding work to enable advanced orchestration. Native integrations for DevOps pipelines such as GitHub Actions and Jenkins, along with stronger API flexibility for complex workflows, would enhance functionality. Although the CMDB and asset management are solid, they do lack advanced dependency mapping compared to other enterprise tools. My wishlist includes automated impact analysis for changes and improved visualization of asset relationships, enabling quicker resolutions from an agent's perspective when alerts come in. I acknowledge that Device42 may enhance this, but it is an extra cost beyond what we already pay. While Freddy AI is excellent for triage and suggestions, some users desire more proactive automation, such as predictive ticket routing based on historical patterns and AI-driven capacity forecasting. Lastly, the pricing tiers might seem rigid for mid-sized teams, so a more granular add-on option for features such as Device42 or pay-per-use for orchestration workflows could be beneficial.

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

Pros

"There are many features of Automation Anywhere that were found to be most valuable like WLM, PDF integration, Advanced Excel Commands, Terminal Emulator and its commands, Interactive Forms building features of A2019 which helped us in developing UI for our front office automation and integrate it with multiple rest APIs."

"Automation Anywhere has improved my organization by automating many rule-based and nonjudgmental processes in domains like telecommunications, human resources, financial services, and daily or monthly reporting."

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

"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 most valuable feature is its easy to use."

"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."

"We get positive feedback from the client regarding the processes that we have developed, as it saves a lot of their manual time and most of their work is done by the bot, without any human intervention."

"We have been with Automation Anywhere as their platinum partners, and for us, the first and foremost recommendation to any customer is Automation Anywhere, which is true from the price perspective, feature perspective, and support perspective."

More Automation Anywhere pros

"The solution is quite stable, and we've found it to be reliable and free from bugs and glitches that affect its usability."

"Using the Help Desk and Purchasing modules, they let us keep track of all the issues in our organization and analyze them for trends."

"The customization of the product and reporting capabilities have allowed us to provide upper management the graphs (data) they request that helps validate specific needs that we (IT) have."

"Our users have come to expect availability and quick responses, and we are able to provide this thanks to the Track-IT! solution."

"We use it to create and manage our work orders."

"The initial setup is pretty easy."

More BMC Track-It! pros

"One of the things I liked about Freshservice was how easy it was to implement. While it doesn't have extensive customization capabilities, the available options are sufficient for certain sizes of companies. You don't need to customize your ticketing system much. Freshservice is a great solution because you can implement it very quickly. You can upload your catalog, and you're done in maybe a week or two."

More Freshservice pros

Cons

"The biggest challenge that I have with Automation Anywhere is the pace of upgrades that they do. We are not an IT company, we are a mining company. We are very conservative in doing our upgrades and moving from one platform to another. Upgrades are one of the challenges we are having with Automation Anywhere."

"Scalability has been a pain point; the scalability is there, but there are ongoing operational issues with it."

"Initially, the implementation was tough."

"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."

"I would like to see integration better integration with Excel and SAP."

"If there were one thing I could ask for it would be a text-based language. Right now it's proprietary, so you always have to go through the tool, even for things like basic compares."

"The data migration could be better."

"Automation Anywhere's UI is difficult. Its user interface can be improved."

More Automation Anywhere cons

"Track-It! works great for a mid-size company, but anything over 700 employees, and trying to use Track-It! for any other areas of the business is difficult."

"Currently, if you go and check the reports in the packet, the reports are useless; reporting is really bad."

"The solution is cumbersome to use."

"Their self-service is not user friendly."

"There are a few items that I would like changed or extra features that could be added to our current version of this software, but those are all going to be addressed in a future software update."

"The area where we would like to see improvement is in the asset management module."

"The product’s current version could be easier and straightforward to work with small IT organizations, similar to the older version."

"The round robin ticketing feature that they have is not ideal."

"The product should look at BCM or ServiceNow and see if there are features that would make nice additions. It would help them stay competitive."

"Freshservice could improve the integration with Microsoft Outlook."

"I am not too happy with the page layout or screen layout since it always looks messy."

"Freshservice could improve the delegation and workflow management features."

"I've had some problems with Freshservice's technical support. They often drag out cases by continually passing them on to other people, and they seem overeager to close tickets and sometimes mark them as resolved without checking first."

"It would be good to have the product integrated with Google because that's our corporate tool of choice."

"We would like to have chat as a support channel in order to enjoy the same benefit of real-time support that Freshdesk has."

More Freshservice cons

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Subscription for Automation Anywhere (AA) is paid yearly."

"We purchase on a bot basis. Our costs are approximately $5,000."

"We would like them to change the license model of charging per bot."

"Time-wise: We have saved hundreds of thousands of hours."

"It depends. For example, for my group, we are centralizing the infrastructure in Paris. Our contract is signed with Automation Anywhere in France. The currency and the pricing of Automation Anywhere in France can appear beneficial and interesting for Germany and Scandinavian countries, but when we share our infra and are internally charging other countries such as Poland, Brazil, or some other country with a lower currency value as compared to Euro, it becomes less beneficial. They would prefer to sign the contract directly with Automation Anywhere because they will benefit from a price that is as per their local market."

"Time and monetary savings can range from 20 to 90 percent."

"It saves me around $100,000 a year."

"Initially, they charged a premium, but now the rest of the vendors have increased their overall pricing and Automation Anywhere is not that high at this time. It's pretty viable."

More Automation Anywhere pricing and cost advice

"BMC Track-It!’s price is reasonable compared to other products."

"It was a middle tier. It wasn't an expensive one. It was a tier model usage. Licensing costs varied between admin users and regular users."

"Freshservice is a fairly cheap solution. Though monthly payments can be made towards the licensing costs of the solution, my company prefers to make annual payments."

"The solution has an annual licensing model."

"The solution may be around 20,000 euros a year."

"There are some additional costs but not that many. For example, we have unlimited assets, which is something for which we pay extra. We also paid for additional orchestration. I would rate it a three out of five in terms of pricing. They are right in the middle."

"Freshservice's licensing costs are pretty good, and it has different categories of pricing based on what modules and features you choose, which gives a lot of flexibility."

"It is $34 per license, per agent. Currently, we don't see any add-ons at extra fees."

"One of the key benefits of Freshservice is license management. Asset management has the possibility to keep track of licenses and that's very useful. The price of the solution is very good."
