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.

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.
NR
Team Lead at a computer software company with 10,001+ employees
Plenty of features, stable, and scalable
The solution has not been updated in a while and parts appear to be outdated, such as the pictures. It is a reactive product in terms of development and features. They do not follow the market trends or have many innovations. I have found Symantec Asset Management Suite does not integrate well with Microsoft solutions, which in the corporate world is a large disadvantage. They are currently lagging behind Microsoft. The cloud version of this solution is not very convenient or comparable to other solutions, they need to improve it.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"After using AA for some of the flows, we identified that the execution time was reduced by 70% when compared to the other automation tool that we have been using for 8 years."
"One very useful feature is the IQ Bot, which is helpful in the operation of the data input process to all of their applications."
"The solution is easy to learn and with it, it's easy to replicate knowledge."
"It can be used for customer service support, data extraction, data migration, and software installation."
"IQ Bot is a valuable feature. It processes unstructured data to structured data. It helps me by making tasks less time consuming. It reduces the effort it takes versus manually."
"The tool is very easy to use and mostly user-friendly. I like that when using it I don't need much expertise."
"I like the new GenAI and Automation Co-Pilot, which is something like attended automation."
"My clients have seen ROI, as what would take them two to three days in work is now taking them two to three hours."
"As a department, we have been able to identify problems and resolve them faster because of the centralized database."
"Track-It! has many features that help make us more efficient and cost effective as a department."
"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."
"Using the Help Desk and Purchasing modules, they let us keep track of all the issues in our organization and analyze them for trends."
"Our efficiency has improved drastically due to a massive reduction in phone calls."
"We use it to create and manage our work orders."
"Using their problem management process, we can use parent/child tickets and set up public views for our problem work orders."
"Symantec Asset Management Suite has better features than some of its competitors, such as the Microsoft Configuration Manager."
 

Cons

"However, the AI Sense Recorder is too slow, so they can enhance its features for easier user experience."
"With any new upgrades, we have to make changes in the codes. To us, this means that the tool is not stable. We have been told by Automation Anywhere that this will be fixed in future releases."
"Regarding the UI, once you're in some of the screens there are fixed dialogues. They are a set size, so there's a lot of horizontal scrolls and vertical scrolls."
"We have encountered some issues in the actions like Terminal Emulator-> Send Key -> Page Down/Up not working."
"Not all data is good quality. This presents a challenge for automation, which is important."
"It has been challenging integrating Automation Anywhere with other solutions, due to all of the controls, as we are a bank."
"The bot scaling process was painful, when you go beyond a few bots, and because we had stability issues. We had to work through the issues, and they took us a long time."
"I had an issue lasting for the better part of three years, and it was quite severe."
"Currently, if you go and check the reports in the packet, the reports are useless; reporting is really bad."
"The area where we would like to see improvement is in the asset management module."
"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."
"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."
"The product’s current version could be easier and straightforward to work with small IT organizations, similar to the older version."
"The solution is cumbersome to use."
"Their self-service is not user friendly."
"The solution has not been updated in a while and parts appear to be outdated, such as the pictures. It is a reactive product in terms of development and features. They do not follow the market trends or have many innovations."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Our annual licensing costs for the entire company are $100,000."
"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."
"They are already coming out with a community license, which is really good. That's something that I wish to have."
"We would like them to change the license model of charging per bot."
"I am not sure about the costs, but two Bot Runners and four Bot Creators may cost approximately 1CR."
"The solution itself is free unless we want to add the support option but we have to pay for the bots we use."
"The cost for scalability is much cheaper than developing a new system."
"The solution is costly and the licensing is very confusing."
"BMC Track-It!’s price is reasonable compared to other products."
"The price of the solution was reasonable a couple of years ago but now it is expensive."
