Featured Reviews

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.

Enterprise Cloud Cost Over And Visibility Parts at a manufacturing company with 10,001+ employees

Clear license visibility has reduced waste and guides current software spending decisions

We often communicate with the technical support of Flexera One, and they are providing a good service to us. We are raising cases for the SKU-based library of Flexera One. Suppose there are SKUs which are not recognized. We raise a case with them asking if they could please recognize this SKU or add this SKU to the SKU library. We are in touch with them. Suppose we are not understanding any feature of Flexera One, then we are asking them for a one-to-one call. They interact with us and easily tell us things which we can understand. I will give it a 10 for the technical support of Flexera One on a scale from one to ten.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"By using this, we are saving time and we no need to do routine work, as it is now automated and the result is shared with all of the end-users."

"My clients have seen ROI, as what would take them two to three days in work is now taking them two to three hours."

"I consider the verification station very useful because it allows you to quickly check if the data extracted are correct or if you need to change the process."

"For business professionals, it automates repetitive tasks and enhances efficiency and cost savings."

"Automation Co-Pilot helped increase productivity."

"It has saved our HR department time since this process automatically happens without anybody's intervention. Our HR department is able to devote their time to more productive work or activities. It has also saved a lot of costs since every employee in the HR department is involved in the attendance and payroll process. Second, the process is now no more human dependent."

"What Automation Anywhere is offering is amazing from a back-end office accounting standpoint."

"Automation Anywhere has brought fantastic changes in the process workflows, by automating the maximum number of processes with end-to-end solutions, some of them with 80% of the complete process."

More Automation Anywhere pros

"Sometimes I see cost savings in excess of 40 to 60 percent, with resources also in the same percentage area, depending on what the use case is and how much work and preparation was put into actually designing it appropriately for the use of the tool, as the more that had to get cleaned up or adjusted, the percentages could certainly even increase more."

"The best feature of Flexera One is the latest feature about AI, which really impresses me because I can log into the Flexera One portal, click on the AI, and ask it questions."

"In my opinion, the best features of the product are that it is precise, the SKU library contains all the products and it rightly associates all the use rights and the licensing that is required, and the analytics feature is helpful in strategic decision-making because it adequately and appropriately gives you the reports."

"Audit readiness and 100% users and usage calculation helped the organization to save money."

"The feature that I find most valuable in Flexera One is the discovery, which is crucial from an ITAM point of view to capture the entire environment and all the software installed in my customer's environment."

"I recommend it highly."

"It is a stable solution."

"I like the way it does its compliance. I like its discovery, and I like the fact that it keeps separate hardware and assets and provides easy accessibility to raw data."

More Flexera One pros

"The product helps users stay on top of gaining insight into the active directory, permissions and security sets, and user group policy changes."

"I would suggest you use this product as it's easy for administration, and is based on distributed model support."

"All I know is that when it comes to managing the active directory, ManageEngine is something I consider to be the best."

"Customer Service: Absolutely fantastic."

"It is easy to identify and collect information from all of the nodes on the network."

"The technical support is good."

"The primary use case of this solution is to manage and to protect the web servers, the mail server, and the website in my company."

"The monitoring capability is easy to use and it can be done without any training."

Cons

"We would like a better coding interface for developers. We would also like to have a user interface which reduces the time to learn the product so more people in the organization can use software, like Automation Anywhere, quickly automating processes."

"Many of our clients would want to see scalability in pricing, and while I could say cheaper, that's part of it."

"Sometimes, the ESX services will stop. We are working with IT to resolve this, as it's not our fault. Automation Anywhere is stopping the service, and during that time, the bot will be stopped. Right now, we are logging into the client machine and restarting/rebooting them, then restarting the services. As some of our processes run at night, we won't know that the service is down since our processes run 24/7. This issue is then escalated to the manager. This is the current challenge that we are facing, and we would like them to improve this."

"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."

"It is not as easy to implement as advertised. It is difficult across the board. It is difficult for technical and non-technical users."

"The REST API could be improved."

"Automation Anywhere is not fully compatible with browsers other than Internet Explorer while working with web extraction."

"We would like Automation Anywhere to have a way to run a capacity check on machines and show us what is available."

More Automation Anywhere cons

"The biggest challenge I am facing is that Flexera One has a lot of data. It takes time to load and process."

"The first and foremost aspect that could be improved about Flexera One is its capability for customization. It is not easily customizable, and if Flexera One does not have an integration available for different tools and publishers, then creating a custom integration or custom compliance for that particular publisher becomes very difficult."

"Flexera One does not have an agent for it, so it can't report on mainframe usage."

"The hardware and connectors in the product have certain shortcomings where improvements are required."

"One area that could use improvement is the deployment of Flexera agents."

"The customer support is fairly decent; it could be better in terms of the quality of answers provided."

"While it shows various configurations regarding where my server and VM are placed, it does not indicate how many licenses are needed or how the calculations are performed."

"The mainframe need improvement."

More Flexera One cons

"ManageEngine needs to fix the downtime scheduler for SNMP monitored devices. Alarms are still generated for the devices placed into scheduled maintenance."

"This is because of the lack of available technical knowledge in terms of competence and maximizing the power of the product."

"The GUI could be improved."

"The ManageEngine features could improve to show graphs of the traffic and network utility."

"We would like to have support for integration with ServiceDesk."

"The product could use more intelligence, automation and general availability of product information."

Pricing and Cost Advice

"I advise others that even as of right now, the setup cost and licensing cost to automate bots on Automation Anywhere is steep but it is worth the investment!"

"Pricing is a bit high when compared to other available tools; however, the tool is worth the cost."

"I think the solution's pricing is reasonable."

"Our pricing a year ago was $600 per license."

"We are restricted to use one license on one PC. However, if my license is not working, I want to be able to use it somewhere else. This would be a nice improvement to the licensing, as other competitors in the market have better licensing terms."

"The pricing of AA is similar to UiPath."

"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. This is from only doing development for about a year and a half."

"The pricing and licensing are definitely moderate to costly but easily recoverable by achieving ROI quickly."

More Automation Anywhere pricing and cost advice

"I can say that from a price perspective, you can go for FlexNet Manager if you have a very small environment."

"It was certainly on a par with the price we were paying for Snow License Manager. It wasn't overly expensive."
