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.

Quite good back-end architecture for end users but the API is very, very bad
Our company uses the solution for system, program, service request, change, and knowledge-based management.  We perform CMD authorizations and use a lot of integrations for our in-house or third-party applications. We also use Salesforce automations and Microsoft orchestrations.  We have about…

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"If we count the integrations that we have done with Appian, which is where a lot of our savings is from, we are well over a million dollars in savings."
"We are getting massive efficiencies across our back office, internally."
"Learning Automation Anywhere prepares our students for a better future because the future belongs to RPA Automation."
"We reduce the time that scientists spend on manual tasks and put them on more value-added work."
"Automation has helped us improve productivity in that it first of all saves time, and because of the automation we are able to eliminate human errors, so it is really good for improving our productivity and has helped us a lot."
"The deployment was good."
"As a solution, Automation Anywhere is complete for business users and developers."
"With Automation Anywhere you can read and extract CSV data easily. You don't need multiple commands to read it."
"The most valuable feature is the usability of the search when you want to find other tickets that relate to the incident you're working on."
"Our users access it via the web. We have external and internal sources, and we're now introducing the mobile app portion so our computer engineers can respond to tickets remotely."
"From a quick resolution point of view, the fact that xFlow has got the self-service that's linked to knowledge management means people are also able to solve their own problems without necessarily requiring tickets through the entire life cycle of second line support, and that has helped a lot."
"Our stability has been really great."
"It has all our configurations. All our infrastructure configurations are on a single pane of glass to view, allowing for one single point of information."
"If you set it up correctly, you're going to find the patterns, and you're going to be able to resolve issues quicker and be able to improve on your services."
"It now tells us how we should do our work, it now tells us how we can staff, it tells us how we're doing, and it's reliable."
"It is the most stable product in the market."
"Customer service has been one of the best for any software provider we have seen; any issue we had was solved quickly."
"If you are looking for an affordable solution for your business but want all the features of something you would expect to pay highly for, choose Vision Helpdesk! Trust me - you won't look back!"
"Vision Helpdesk has a very small price but has many functions, and compared with others their price is 3-5x lower for similar functionality."
 

Cons

"Automation Anywhere should implement this feature. They should also decrease their cost."
"It would be really good if they could give more priority to tickets which are raised by partners. Right now, Automation Anywhere customers and employees have higher priority."
"For improvement, I would like to see Automation Anywhere integrating with multiple other technologies."
"Automation Anywhere is troublesome for some people because of the way it is organized."
"When I change the name of a variable in the Variable Manager, I would really like it to change in the code."
"The customer service could be improved."
"The vendor should increase the training and other engagements with users before they acquire the platform, as this will simplify its usage further and ensure that there no hindrances in using the platform."
"My biggest suggestion would be to allow us to set up test and development licenses or environments that don't use unattended licenses needed for production."
"The user interface is a little bit old and not so mainstream."
"Ticket event and notification creation and management is cumbersome and has not improved over the many versions I have worked with."
"If I had to choose, it would be more around the user interface than the mobile experience."
"We would like the CMDB to be populated automatically. At the moment, everything is manually created."
"I am not able to see tickets on a bigger scale. I can't see the overall bigger picture."
"They should enhance the service desk manager's service point function to be more customizable."
"There are a lot of messages that just are not necessary."
"Maileater is the biggest issue we’ve had recently."
"Their live-chat support needs work."
"I think I'd like to see a more user-friendly interface in the user-ticket view."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"AA comes at a more affordable price than the other tools."
"When I started working on it, it was difficult to obtain a trial version (barrier to entry). Now, they have a Community Edition, which may make it easy to get started."
"Our annual licensing costs are around $100,000 a year."
"The pricing strategy for us is one license for development. It is more complicated than that depending on the options you choose."
"It has good licensing costs which are average for the market."
"Despite being less expensive than UiPath, Automation Anywhere remains cost-prohibitive for many small and medium-sized businesses."
"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."
"Our pricing a year ago was $600 per license."
"It is a bit expensive, but you definitely get what you pay for. It is worth it!"
"The pricing is based on a subscription model."
"I don't see anyone other than large companies being able to afford this system."
"I think pricing of this model is suitable for growing corporations."
"Pricing is simple, as it’s per concurrent analysts."
"The solution is quite reasonable compared to other solutions in the market."
"There is a subscripted needed to use Clarity SM. The price of the solution could be less expensive. ServiceNow is less expensive and BMC Helix is priced similar to Clarity SM."
"Clarity offers a perpetual license. Customers purchase the license once and then pay for maintenance. CA provides a subscription model as well. Both models are available for our customers."
