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.

Provides limited scalability, and systems do not synchronize properly

Experience great asset management with seamless local network integration and efficient reporting
It is quite difficult to tell how Lansweeper can be improved, but we have encountered some problems correctly identifying product versions. For example, Lansweeper can scan 7-Zip version 7.2, but when a new version 7.3 comes out, Lansweeper shows it as new software, requiring us to manually add this software to the whitelist or change it in reports; it should be counted as the previous version. There is no analytics from Lansweeper to understand that it is the same software but with a different version.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"I would rate this solution a ten out of ten."
"Through the software, we have been able to reduce the time that we spend on manual, repetitive tasks so that we can focus on activities that add value to the business or to our partners and customers."
"All the data that comes in has to be QC'd, and Automation Anywhere helps us by automating the QC part."
"The best feature is the drag-and-drop command. Users with less coding knowledge can also automate their end-to-end processes very easily."
"The tech support for Automation Anywhere has been really good, so far. We haven't had to call them very much, but when we have, we have received a good response."
"The most valuable feature is the ability to transform data into clusters."
"The OCR feature in Automation Anywhere is the best I have encountered, even better than Google."
"It improved the task performance at a team level and improved productivity."
"The solution is easy to setup."
"The product's stability in terms of uptime is generally good; it is always operational."
"Its functionality is very solid. The best part about it is that, when you have issues in getting information back from nodes, it tells you what the issue is, and you can quickly go to the specific nodes and respond to or repair those. There is an agent option, but to me, as a small business, the preference is to avoid agents where possible because you probably don't have the staff to keep up with them all."
"The most valuable feature of Lansweeper is IT asset management. In the realm of cybersecurity, having knowledge of what is on the network is critical. We are able to conduct reports and see the assets we have. Initially, the solution required a machine on the local network to scan everything, but it has evolved to include agents that can report to a device, and more recently, an agent that can send data to the cloud even if the device is outside of the network. This has proven to be especially useful during the pandemic, as it has allowed us to keep track of devices that have been sent home with employees."
"The most valuable feature of Lansweeper is that it can gather all the devices online and offline and generate proper IT assets."
"Lansweeper is performing exceptionally; as soon as it detects something on the network, it immediately adds it to Lansweeper, and the connection between the endpoint and the server is doing a really good job."
"One valuable feature is the ability to monitor log-on times, providing insights into whether users are rebooting their machines as claimed. This is useful in scenarios where users may not be aware of the need to reboot for system optimization. Lansweeper helps verify such information by collecting log data. Another noteworthy feature is the capability to track CPU, memory, and network usage on workstations at intervals, say every thirty minutes. This allows me to assess the user's experience and validate their claims about resource consumption. For instance, if a user complains about high memory usage, Lansweeper enables me to verify the actual usage and address the issue accurately. This level of monitoring granularity is something I find particularly useful and haven't seen in many other tools."
"We've found the most value right now in the inventory of the equipment."
"For Windows needs in terms of asset management, report creation, and detailed information visibility, it is an excellent product."
"The solution provides inventory information that is very important to our company."
 

Cons

"However, when it comes to the agentic capabilities, there is still a gap where I need to figure out how the token consumption is happening and how my agents are talking with other agents."
"They have a ridiculously expensive bot licensing structure, especially for the Asian region."
"The API integration should be improved further since it is a bit difficult at the moment to connect with the API in the enterprise version."
"Triggers work in the attended mode on Automation Anywhere. I would love it if we could use triggers in the unattended mode too. This way we can use the feature more in our IT sector. E.g., when any service or folder is accessed by unauthorized person, we want to be able to get an immediate trigger, even on "out of office", this would be helpful for my organization."
"The document processing, OCR, needs to be more accurate. Sometimes, when you try it on documents, it keeps on failing and goes to a different queue. It needs to mature."
"With the automation copilot, if I have any internal tool or application and I want to pass on variables, I don't have it. Maybe the team can work on it to make it more efficient to make it work better across all automations."
"The version that I used (10.3) was not that stable. It easily crashed in-between processes."
"The Automation Anywhere University courses have helped us, but it could improve some things, like how the courses are designed."
"Queries fail to retrieve the correct information, and the discovery tool does not accurately reflect the details of devices."
"The synchronization between the ITAM and Neurons should be restored."
"With Lansweeper, some areas can be improved, such as the interfaces and legacy user interface elements."
"The disadvantages in comparison to other products are in the ITSM part and the CMDB."
"I did not use the ITSM tools aspect, which connects to a CMDB, because that was not how I utilized the BMC tool, so I do not have an opinion on how it could be improved."
"In Vietnam, there's no Lansweeper office, making it difficult to find the right vendor to get the license."
"We would greatly benefit from the ability to continue software installations and assistance with Windows updates, focusing more on action-oriented features."
"For example, Lansweeper can scan 7-Zip version 7.2, but when a new version 7.3 comes out, Lansweeper shows it as new software, requiring us to manually add this software to the whitelist or change it in reports; it should be counted as the previous version."
"Over the years, while we expanded from tracking around 5,000 to 6,000 computers, the licensing cost increased significantly, going from roughly $300 to about $2,500, which strained our budget as a non-profit healthcare organization."
"I think they should come up with an end-to-end asset management tool."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Automation Anywhere is affordable."
"It saves me around $100,000 a year."
"They're very flexible around pricing and licensing."
"The pricing of AA is similar to UiPath."
"Time and monetary savings can range from 20 to 90 percent."
"It is somewhere in the middle. The price and value of Automation Anywhere are better than UiPath. The pricing is good globally. It could be a little bit cheaper, but it is good."
"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."
"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."
"The solution is reasonably priced."
"Its cost is terrific. It has a great price and is cost-effective, and the license is free under a hundred nodes. I like the fact that it gets regular updates. Of course, it notifies you of the product and you can patch it and all that, but I like the fact that it is very affordable for the number of nodes. A company with three or four computers doesn't need it, but a company that has dozens or hundreds has to have some kind of governance. It can do everything such as Windows, Linux, and network devices, and the discovery is really intelligent. For example, you'd find smart devices, IOTs, and things like that. I'm very happy with it."
"On a scale from one to ten, where one is cheap, and ten is expensive, I rate Lansweeper's pricing a seven out of ten."
"The Lansweeper's price has increased and is now on par with or even higher than competitors, it still offers significant value in the area of IT asset management."
"It actually costs some money in the long run because of the licensing model."
"It is not high and it is fair according to the worth it offers."
