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.

Business Continuity And Disaster Recovery Manager at Cadence Bank

Continuous asset discovery has strengthened audits and BCDR planning but reporting needs improvement

FireMon Asset Manager supports my disaster recovery and business continuity planning through continuous real-time discovery, which is the foundation of everything. The fact that it's not a point-in-time scan, but ongoing, passive and active discovery, means my inventory is always current. That's what makes it useful for BCDR, where stale data is dangerous. The best features FireMon Asset Manager offers include leak path detection, which is genuinely valuable. It identifies rogue internet connectivity, unauthorized connections, and paths in and out of the network that shouldn't exist. In a bank, that's both a security concern and a BCDR concern because undocumented network paths create recovery risks I don't know I have. The topology mapping is also excellent. Being able to visualize how assets connect to each other and to the network helps my BCDR team understand dependencies between systems, which is critical for sequencing recovery procedures correctly. If I'm recovering a system, I need to know what it depends on and what depends on it. FireMon Asset Manager has positively impacted my organization primarily on our audit and examination posture. Before FireMon Asset Manager, when examiners asked about our asset inventory, I was presenting data I knew had gaps and hoping nobody looked too closely. Now I can walk into an examination with a continuously updated, discovery-validated asset inventory and answer those questions with confidence. That's a qualitative shift, but it has real consequences. Examination findings in banking are not trivial. This shift has led to measurable outcomes, such as reducing the time to compile our annual BIA asset inventory from roughly three weeks of manual effort down to essentially a report pull. That's significant staff time saved. I've also seen our CMDB accuracy improve. FireMon Asset Manager's continuous discovery keeps finding things that manual processes miss. And from a regulatory standpoint, I've had two examinations since deploying FireMon Asset Manager, and in both cases, the asset inventory questions that were previously a weakness in our program were answered cleanly. That's the metric that matters most in a regulated banking environment.

Hemanthreddy Vakiti

Data Engineer at a tech vendor with 10,001+ employees

Structured workflows have improved SLA compliance and now support prioritized incident handling

I think the licensing and pricing of ServiceNow is quite expensive compared to other tools. For large organizations, it is acceptable, but specifically for small and medium organizations to track incidents or change requests, ServiceNow is quite expensive. Sometimes performance can be slow when workflows and integrations are configured for complex tasks. For advanced customizations or advanced features which we rarely use, the documentation is not up to standard. The documentation needs to be improved for advanced customization features. However, the platform is stable overall and the features are quite good. The user experience and performance concerns I mentioned are areas I want to be improved. When many workflows and interactions are configured, performance is slow. For the features it is providing, it is quite expensive. If these performance features are improved, we can easily pay that price and get the return on investment.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"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."

"We're finding time savings as a benefit. One example would be a customer service rep who might get a question about an order, and it's usually through email. It can take a good three to seven business days to answer a customer's question about their order. When we automate it, it takes hours, if not minutes."

"The most valuable feature of Automation Anywhere right now is its low-code, no-code framework, which allows us to build a lot of templates that are both repeatable and reusable over time."

"The cloud implementation is easy, you do not have to install anything, and when we use it in the Automation Anywhere Cloud, it becomes even easier."

"The management works well."

"While RPA is the cutting-edge technology to bring digital transformation, the RPA as a service will reduce costs and increase efficiency with ease of deployment, less maintenance, and cheaper upgrade costs."

"It has provided our organization a lot of benefits, as we have reduced our headcount, approximately 200 to 300 employees, by eliminating manual, repetitive work and providing profit to the business."

"My understanding is that the initial setup is pretty straightforward."

More Automation Anywhere pros

"FireMon Asset Manager supports my disaster recovery and business continuity planning through continuous real-time discovery, which is the foundation of everything."

"FireMon Asset Manager fills a genuine gap in network security visibility that many organizations underestimate."

"The most valuable aspects of FireMon Asset Manager are its integrations and its ability to passively monitor the network for unknown assets."

"The most valuable feature is the change modules. Whenever there is a change in the firewall, it automatically reflects on FireMon."

"Now I can walk into an examination with a continuously updated, discovery-validated asset inventory, and I can answer those questions with confidence."

"It offers a single platform for managing firewalls of different brands and simplifies policy deployment and auditing. It helps push policies to different firewalls, and it also helps with policy auditing."

"The ability to get in there and create stuff without worrying about setting everything up first; we can start developing right away without having to get instances set up, get everything provisional, or all the networking stuff done, and just get up and go."

"The most valuable feature by far of ServiceNow is the rapid development, how quickly you can actually go out and change things, adapt things, ready to fulfill the business needs."

"I have found the workflows and integration the most valuable in this solution."

"We can keep track of incidences. There is a bucket where we keep all our information, and it enables communication between stakeholders. It helps us collaborate with each other."

"I like the flexibility on ServiceNow; we use it for our help desk admin and our call center, but we also use it for our knowledge management system, which is our growth area, and we get to add our custom homemade apps plus vendor apps to integrate into it to get the total package that we need."

"We have large chats with 150,000 people and everyone has found it to be useful."

"I recommend ServiceNow due to its stability and good security."

"I like that it's always up and running."

More ServiceNow pros

Cons

"The scalability of Automation Anywhere's cloud version is excellent, but the on-premise version is a waste of time and money."

"The areas for room for improvement are always going to be around experience, making it even easier to get engaged, and get started. Because lowering that threshold to get started is what enables an additional set of problems to be solved."

"Another feature that would be cool to see in Automation Anywhere is more use of artificial intelligence."

"The product is not totally stable."

"A standardized improvement area for any RPA tool is making it more user-friendly. This can be done by allowing users to give instructions in their language. For example, one should be able to say in his or her language to automate the login page of the XYZ application. It should be able to create a flow based on the information or screenshots that the user provides."

"The product is not working sometimes with the methods we prefer."

"Automation Anywhere is not as flexible as Process Studio."

"I would like to see a technology where they can automatically update or upgrade themselves to the latest version, without having to uninstall the current bot."

More Automation Anywhere cons

"It is not very good at monitoring the Check Point firewall, but it works very well with other firewalls such as Palo Alto, Fortinet, and Cisco ASA."

"While passive discovery remains important, active retrieval of asset details would be valuable, and this functionality is starting to be implemented, as I've observed in recent updates but it is not fully there yet."

"FireMon Asset Manager can be improved in reporting customization, which is more limited than I'd prefer."

"The biggest friction point or frustration I have encountered with FireMon Asset Manager is the support experience being inconsistent."

"I find that FireMon Asset Manager's reporting customization is more limited than I would like."

"The discovery process could be improved. If incorrect credentials are entered, it should give an error message. That would make our work easy rather than having to troubleshoot why the issue is occurring."

"Compared to other products that I have been using, it is not as user-friendly."

"It is pricey, and for good reason."

"Their support is not experienced."

"The only complaint that I would have is just the interface itself is not always user friendly."

"Our initial setup was not the best. We had some issues with it with the company that implemented it for us."

"I would say there had been times where it's taking a long time for a resolution."

"I think within knowledge management the editor could be greatly improved. To me it's very archaic looking."

"We find it good in general. Obviously, there are areas of improvement for every capability. As they evolve more, if they keep on adding more intelligence into the capabilities, it will improve. The improvement areas are more integration across the landscape and more intelligence for the overall capability of the solution."

More ServiceNow cons

Pricing and Cost Advice

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

"The ROI is really good. We have saved time and money."

"The cost of Automation Anywhere is high in Turkey due to the weak economy."

"I have heard that Automation Anywhere is expensive."

"We just did a round of price comparison on a global scale and found it's so hard to compare the license prices. But, Automation Anywhere, in general, is on the same price level as the other vendors, a bit lower in some cases."

"The pricing of AA is similar to UiPath."

"Automation Anywhere's price is considerably better than UiPath's."

"They recently launched a Community Edition, which is okay, but they should have done this a long time ago."

More Automation Anywhere pricing and cost advice

"FireMon Asset Manager's pricing has been reasonable and has worked well for us from a licensing standpoint."

"FireMon is more expensive than other brands but justified by its comprehensive feature set. It includes several functions that might require additional subscriptions in other solutions."

"We are happy with the pricing."

"The licensing expenses are excessively high."

"The CapEx version is great."

"ServiceNow is an expensive solution."

"It's sold as a less expensive solution, but it has to be highly modified. That's where you get into the cost."

"The setup cost is high compared to others, especially when the scope is not fixed."

"ServiceNow's pricing is comparatively higher than Helix's."

"The price could be a little lower for the solution. Many of my customers have issues with the licensing process, they have to make it easier and straightforward."
