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.

Centralized alerts and ticketing have improved SLA compliance and guided infrastructure decisions

For system monitoring and the alert system within ConnectWise PSA, we find it very useful, and its critical alerts are very important for us for ISOs and SOC compliances. The ticketing follow-up system is good, and there are many features that are very good in ConnectWise PSA. We use the time tracking feature with ConnectWise PSA, specifically for SLAs. The time tracking feature helps us improve billing accuracy, as it is really useful in improving the SLA of the tickets. We have different SLAs for different customers, including those who need a response within one hour and those who need a solution in one hour. According to those customer requirements, we have set the SLAs on the platform, and we get alerts if a ticket is going to be nearing the SLA. With the help of that, we improve the turnaround time and achieve the SLAs up to 90 percent maximum. ConnectWise PSA's reporting tools help our decision-making process a lot because, at certain points, we must make critical calls on moving and rebuilding servers. We can see the number of tickets and analyze server performance to make decisions, so it helps in that way.

Simple and quick to implement, easy to use, saves us time and money

This is a very flexible system, which is why I chose the platform. It is flexible with respect to our company processes and workflows, and this is something that is very important to us. The system allows us to configure simple forms and flows, and we use it when new employees are hired, when one transfers from one unit to another, or when one leaves the company. These are the main reasons that I use the functionality of the forms. IT Care Center has very much helped to simplify our IT service management. I have an SLA that commits me to 85% with the company. This platform allows me to provide services at almost 92%. It is very useful from this point of view. This product has helped us to reduce the number of IT tickets because after we have worked on a problem and closed the ticket, we send the user information on what steps we took to solve the problem. With the explanation, a user knows how to deal with the problem if it happens again. The reports also help us to reduce the number of tickets that we have. We look to see what the main reasons are for incidents and look at whether the same problem is recurring. This allows us to fix the problem in basic maintenance, and it has been very successful in helping to reduce the number of related tickets. Using this solution has helped us to reduce costs in two ways, both as a result of having fewer tickets. The first is that we have fewer employees; we have reduced our staff from five people to only three. Second, we have reduced the related hardware costs. We do not need to pay for as many PCs or laptops.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"Our organization used to have a process which took five business days to do: our monthly pricing update. This was a very manual process. Our very first bot built was to automate this process. Now, the bot runs in the background every month and the process takes less than a day to run."

"This solution has decreased the time that our employees spend on manual processes."

"There is one user registration process in one application where there is no API which has been published by that framework. This is a very proprietary in one application by a third-party. So, there was a help desk, and whenever a call went to the help desk, they had a front-end where they created these user registrations. Now, this is completely automated for all employees who are onboarded. We receive the data, it is put it into Excel, and from Excel, it will update it into the particular tool where the registration happens."

"It automates forms for our customers and our analysts."

"Compared to other tools like NICE and Blue Prism, Automation Anywhere is the only tool that gets your work completed in half the time."

"Automation Anywhere is scalable and capable of adapting to any new requirements and technologies."

"It is easy and simple to use with its drag and drop functionality."

"The ability to find objects easily through the 'Capture' option saves your time most significantly."

More Automation Anywhere pros

"ConnectWise Manage has made a difference in the connection to all of the other employees."

"All the features of ConnectWise Manage are valuable. However, ticketing, customer management, customer communication, technician efficiency, calendars, coding, billing, invoicing, and contract management are available. It's a complete solution. Additionally, the company is responsive with the ability to progress or make necessary changes happen."

"The ease of reporting is valuable; we have a weekly management meeting, and we gather numbers from ConnectWise in preparation for that, and it is helpful for measuring how we're doing in our performance."

"We are able to use our ticket system to track any remediation of a device stored in our configurations."

"I've talked to other MSP owners and I still have the opinion that it's the best solution out there."

"The most valuable feature is the management of projects from start to finish, starting with sales and going right to project delivery, with automation and integration with our other systems and really good usability supported by a very thorough knowledge base."

"I like the search function up top where if you know what you're searching for, you can find it pretty quickly. Because you've got the option to change what the search parameters are, whether you're searching for a project, quote, ticket, or an invoice, you can kind of pick and choose what you're looking for."

"It's a nice ticketing system."

More ConnectWise PSA pros

"My advice for anybody who is looking into this product is not to think twice."

"It has reduced our costs by about $15,000 a year."

"It also enables us to configure simple forms and flows. The fact that the system is very flexible for adding fields and other forms assists our customer service, as well as myself as the CIO, to easily view my SLAs and KPIs."

"Overall, the solution has helped to simplify our IT service management, with fewer calls giving us more time to work without distraction, better efficiency in the IT department, and cost reductions of 33 percent along with a 30 to 35 percent reduction in the time it takes to manage tasks."

"The IT Care Center system enables me to see the SLAs of the company in one place, on a daily, weekly, monthly, quarterly, and yearly basis, in a very easy way."

"ITCC has helped us to simplify our IT service management and has definitely helped in reducing our time for consolidating reports, classifying reports, and tracking the problem, tickets, issues, and resolve."

"For customer service, IT Care Center has helped us to centralize our daily IT activities in one platform; it has made our operations easier to use, more efficient, reliable, and available."

"We have a lot of automation running from our HR system to IT Care Center. When a ticket has been raised to us, we can notify hiring managers on the status of every employee. We also get notifications in Slack for every ticket opened."

More IT Care Center pros

Cons

"I would also like to see better communication with their customer success teams. It often takes longer than expected when we submit requests for help or come across a problem we want to resolve. While I can appreciate that it sometimes takes a while to get the appropriate answer, it would be nice to be in constant communication about where they are in the process."

"In the 10.7 version, the back-end port for the MetaBot password has looping. This has been a type of limitation."

"Automation Anywhere could add more tools to track the processes and ROI, so we can get a better understanding of the cost savings and compliance. We heavily track those metrics and make them available to the leadership for review."

"Built-in HTML features are lagging in this solution, whereas in UiPath, they are very good."

"For future prospects, this tool should 80 percent deal with neural networks, deep learning, and artificial intelligence and that has to be integrated a lot. As these are future skills, these integrations will help us take the tool to take to the next level."

"One aspect I wish to mention regarding needed improvements is that Automation Anywhere currently works only on Windows systems."

"It's somewhat pricier than some of the other tools that we've used, and the breakout between the different applications is also somewhat costly."

"The automated regression testing could be better. I need to build my own testing suite, and I know other tools have built-in testing suites. That is an area that's very weak in this platform."

More Automation Anywhere cons

"The custom reporting needs to be improved."

"There should be some improvements to the interface. It is not completely intuitive. When you click in a blank area of a screen, you'll find some options."

"All other ticket systems can search previous tickets, whether they were homegrown in Oracle or something else. I'm talking about searching the actual contents of the discussions in the ticket. In ConnectWise, you can only search the summaries. It's ridiculous."

"They definitely need better tech support. There is a lot of instances where we are kind of forced to go to them for their support team, it is a slow process and it constantly just feels like they're pretty much sending you to the documentation page that you already would have found, rather than actually offering direct assistance."

"Reliability is definitely something that I have issues with, especially over a bad connection."

"It needs to be easier to share tickets between users who need to work together."

"ConnectWise Manage can improve by having more integration with different software and have the process simple."

"Not a good ticketing system"

More ConnectWise PSA cons

"IT Care Center has some room for improvement in regard to mobile. It doesn't have an application, there is only an adaptable web page, and that is less convenient."

"There is no such thing as a perfect solution and in the past, I have contacted support to implement new features."

"There is no global support. With our previous system, we had 24/7 global support."

"IT Care Center must improve the UI because it looks old-fashioned all the time."

"The UI screens could be a little bit more modern."

"There is no global support. With our previous system, we had 24/7 global support. We need much faster support. When I have an issue and raise a ticket, someone should call me back. They can also think about having object-oriented APEX so that the agents can easily create dashboards instead of having to learn the complete APEX language. This is something very important for us. We are using Oracle APEX for creating certain dashboards with KPIs. This is the visual platform that we use to see all the data, and it is very important for us because we get all the BI and data. Currently, we have a vendor who helps us with that because we don't know how to use it ourselves. We want to use it to make more dashboards with more KPIs for every department, but we cannot because we don't have the knowledge. We are very dependent on the vendor and the time he has for us."

"They should have full integration with SSO services, like Okta, creating a full service solution."

"Our business is quite interesting because we actually look at our staff based on their productivity. So if a case is created where we want to track the productivity of the user, sometimes we look at how many actual hours they clocked in to solve the case. We realized that it would take quite a lot of hours, which was unusually high. We want to look at how we can measure that against a baseline. For example, every user should resolve the issue within three hours. We want a certain baseline where they have to resolve the issue within certain times and if they don't, I would get alerted."

More IT Care Center cons

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The major reason that we selected Automation Anywhere was the licensing model."

"UiPath is exceptionally more expensive than Automation Anywhere. UiPath is far ahead of its competition, but in terms of finances, Automation Anywhere offers better value and is more effective for organizations seeking cost-effective solutions."

"Automation Anywhere is cheaper than UiPath and Blue Prism. From a market point of view, Automation Anywhere is reasonable. Any organization can adopt Automation Anywhere."

"The solution is quite expensive. Not every organization can consider this option."

"Our company is investing a lot of money in Automation Anywhere. They have saved money wherever humans are working. They invest a lot of money in FTEs and other logistics, so the money saving is very pretty good with Automation Anywhere. While I don't know the exact figure, the tool is saving us millions of dollars as well as saving about 40,000 hours in the last year."

"We are interested in saving manual engineer man-hours. So far, we have saved $100,000."

"Including the AWS setup and everything per license, it costs us around $10,000 on an annual basis. I believe that is pretty reasonable considering the teams that we have."

"In most of the cases, the product value is very good. If the infrastructure, implementation, and framework are good, then generally, the client can get a good return on investment."

More Automation Anywhere pricing and cost advice

"We're paying $940 a month for 14 users."

"I have one monthly license for all of the ConnectWise products I use, and it's $85 per user."

"There are some different add-ons and benefits that are optional and come at an additional cost."

"The pricing is not based on my clients so much as it is on how many people I have accessing the system, and I think it's pretty good."

"The cost can be the main barrier. It's not a solution for a three person company. It just isn't going to be cost effective. Because ConnectWise Manage does have everything there, the licensing is a little bit restrictive as far as how they want to granularly assign licenses rather than having more of an all-inclusive package."

"The pricing of ConnectWise Manage is reasonable."

"Compared to other products in the market, pricing is reasonable. It does meet our usage and requirements."

"We reduced our costs compared to our previous solution, which was really expensive. We managed to reduce costs by half by switching to IT Care Center, not including any professional services."

"This product is very cheap when compared to other platforms."

"Buy it as one package, not as modules. That is from my knowledge and experience. Most of the time, it has better pricing. They have flexibility by price size in the negotiation."

"With SysAid, we paid for every end-user. If we had 100 end-users, we had to pay for each one of them. With IT Care Center, we can have as many users as we want. We only pay for the end unit. We have the asset manager and different models that we can use for the same price. So, it reduces costs."

"The licensing model is very flexible."
