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 metrics have improved risk visibility and now guide daily security decisions
One feature I would love to see in Cortex.io is more advanced real-time threat detection and automated alerting. I feel that this is very important, especially tailored for vulnerability severity and risk prioritization. Currently, Cortex.io provides excellent scoreboards and insights, but having real-time security alerts tied directly to risk levels, with automatic escalation and suggested remediation actions, will make the platform even more powerful in my opinion. This matters because it bridges the gap between observability and active security response, helping prioritize high-severity risks automatically, which can cut down the time spent manually correlating metrics and alerts. One area for Cortex.io's improvement could be deeper automation and actionable recommendations. For example, the automation prioritization for vulnerabilities by risk could have more remediation actions based on historical issues, and also more security tools for real-time alerts.

Customizable, easy to manage using a single dashboard, but the features in my version are quite basic
Infraon Desk is very flexible in nature and can be customized for my needs. The fact that I can customize it the way I want is the best part of the tool for me. The customization took longer than I expected to complete, although it may be the team that I was interacting with. They might not have had enough manpower in place. If enough resources are available then the customization is easy. All of the information that I need for monitoring the entire platform is available on a single dashboard. This is very helpful with respect to managing. The multi-channel ticketing options that this solution provides are very important to us because it's all about how we engage with our customers and what options we offer for them to communicate with us. Nowadays, there are many collaborative platforms and many methods for ticket logging. Every system of this type should be flexible enough to provide a mobile app, at least for Android and iOS, and not be confined to using Windows alone. Similarly, self-service portals as well as integration with Slack, as this product has, are important options that many people use.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"We are using it for scripting, and it is end user based with screen captures. It is a bit easier to use than any of the other tools out there."
"The deployment is very easy."
"It helps improve performance and helps companies save time and money."
"The feature of this solution that I like the most is that it is coding free - it is a coding free tool. It does not need much coding at all. For all the activities you just drag and drop. That is the best advantage of this tool."
"This solution allows us to more fully automate our clients' specific tools."
"The immediate impact is administrative tasks which were traditionally done manually are now being done by robots. This reduces the workload for people."
"I found that the REST API commands are very useful and easy to use."
"AARI is very convenient, and that is their biggest selling point."
"Cortex.io is user-friendly, and its intuitive user interface is beneficial for non-technical team members."
"Cortex.io has positively impacted team collaboration because it provides clear visibility into service health, security posture, and operational metrics."
"The visibility feature has helped our teams by resulting in a 75% reduction in mean time to restore, allowing us to get alerts and incident history instead of relying on scattered spreadsheets and unreliable tools, thus saving around 15 to 20 hours per newly created service."
"The best features Cortex.io offers are the dashboard, which is very detailed, and the fact that you can run different kinds of testing such as application security testing, vulnerability management testing, and cloud security testing, allowing you to see the levels and rankings of how vulnerable those situations are, including the risk factors."
"It is meeting our requirements and we are very happy and satisfied with the services of Infraon Desk."
"Infraon Desk was the best choice for my budget, considering the features and customization that I wanted."
"There are a few dashboards and they are helpful because, in our organization, we have different groups of people who need different kinds of dashboards... as head of network operations, I need a top-level view. I want to see how many calls are open and how many calls are pending, on average, and some trend analysis. Whereas a manager in my team might like to see slightly more detail."
"Infraon Desk is very flexible in nature and can be customized for my needs. The fact that I can customize it the way I want is the best part of the tool for me."
 

Cons

"I suggest having more ways to perform string manipulations and string operations, instead of just what is pre-defined in the V11 tool."
"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."
"Anything that can be done to increase the stability from a system standpoint in regards to large-scale systems, which are being used by a number of applications, e.g., Salesforce or Workday."
"Automation Anywhere can be improved by working on the next step with GenAI process automation and the agents."
"The solution could improve the integration with some web applications. It was difficult to manage them."
"The Automation Anywhere calibrating needs to be more user-friendly to avoid human error."
"An option should be provided to disable the flow and dual-mode since those are not used often by the developers, and hence take up extra space on the screen."
"While the community provides a platform for interaction and resource sharing, not all training content aligns with the specific needs of developers."
"One feature I would love to see in Cortex.io is more advanced real-time threat detection and automated alerting."
"I wish Cortex.io could cater to smaller teams struggling with visibility and operational toil, as a lighter version would be really great."
"I have not seen a return on investment, so I cannot share relevant metrics."
"Deployment for Cortex.io is not a simple process and is somewhat complex."
"The version that I am using is very basic and I wouldn't say that it has extraordinary services capabilities that I've never seen before."
"The reporting is okay, but it doesn't give you reports that make you say "wow," like you might see from a tool like MRTG or PRTG whose reports give you a good feeling. The detailing is not there in the Infraon Desk reports and there are no graphical elements in them. The reporting is slightly weak and needs to be improved."
"Better connectivity and integration with more collaborative platforms would be helpful."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The cost is high for small-scale businesses but it is fine for medium and large enterprises. Its high licensing cost may affect small-scale businesses. Reducing licensing costs would benefit many users."
"On a yearly basis, our licensing costs are about $80,000. There are no additional costs beyond the standard licensing fees."
"I am using that Automation Anywhere Master Certification for version 11. Recently, this has been updated in Automation Anywhere University. Until this month, it's free to use. There are no charges. That's why I would like to complete it this month."
"The price is a little bit high but the support is good."
"Currently, it stands as one of the more expensive RPA tools available."
"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."
"It saves on the quality of work, because the quality can be bad when somebody's doing it. If a bot does the work, it's faster and comes with good quality. These are two important things along with the cost saving in the long run. That's where the value is."
"It is fantastic. It has been great. It is perfectly priced for the quality received. When paying for quality, that is exactly what you get."
