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
I use the platform to track IT assets, including who they belong to and their current status I do not find the product beneficial. It has ongoing issues and does not meet my expectations. The two systems within Asset Manager do not synchronize properly. Queries fail to retrieve the correct…

Significant asset management capabilities boost IT efficiency and support proactive monitoring
A positive aspect of Lansweeper is that they maintain a 30-minute recurring schedule with us for feedback. I have mentioned to the Lansweeper team that I would appreciate a clear separation between computers joined to our on-premise domain and those joined to the Microsoft Entra directory, as this distinction is currently difficult to make. In terms of reporting and knowledge, Lansweeper completely fulfills our needs. The software installation capability is being phased out as they now have the cloud version app, where this ability and Actions have been removed. My experience is primarily with Windows systems in Lansweeper, but it also supports Mac systems. We are currently adding Macs to scanning, though functionality is somewhat limited compared to Windows. It scans servers too, though this isn't the primary focus. Regarding network scanning, there are some security considerations due to specific service or port requirements on switches. For Windows needs in terms of asset management, report creation, and detailed information visibility, it is an excellent product. Building reports is straightforward, and while the database is quite extensive and may require research depending on needs, the information is readily available.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"When we compare other projects on other platforms versus Automation Anywhere, the technical support we are receiving in terms of efficiency, and even that they are giving us good price, this is what we are looking for."
"The most valuable feature of the product is the flexibility, as there are so many features that you can use to develop, and it can hit a lot of use cases."
"Working with the Automation Anywhere application is very easy in our environment."
"Object cloning with an option to enter wildcard selection was very useful when working in a web application that generated dynamic HTML content."
"This product makes my life easier."
"The best features of Automation Anywhere include the user interface, which is quite easy to use now compared to its previous versions that were more difficult, and all code is visible during coding, showing what is going ahead and what follows in the code, which is not available in other RPA tools such as UiPath, making it a standout feature."
"IQ Bot is very helpful as it is easy to learn and implement and the data output accuracy is almost 90%."
"The feature we found to be the most valuable is the documentation automation as it allows us to focus on the actual important piece of building automation instead of tracking some of the repugnant documentation that goes along with building automation."
"The product's stability in terms of uptime is generally good; it is always operational."
"The solution is easy to setup."
"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."
"The solution provides inventory information that is very important to our company."
"We have seen a return on investment with Lansweeper, as we save time preparing reports for Microsoft, and it has been very useful in terms of cost savings."
"The use of Teams for EdgeScript agent and agentless scanning of devices within our network proves valuable."
"The solution has an excellent health status feature and a user-friendly interface that contains all necessary information."
"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 benefits I have seen from using Lansweeper at the infrastructure level include licensing and optimization, the cost reduction and elimination of redundant tools reduced our needs, and this was particularly evident in the most recent project."
"The most valuable feature of Lansweeper is that it can gather all the devices online and offline and generate proper IT assets."
 

Cons

"Automation Anywhere is easy to use, even if you lack technical skills. People without deep technical expertise can easily develop scenarios."
"I would like to see more bots available right out-of-the-box in the SAP area."
"Although Automation Anywhere is a GUI-based platform with drag-and-drop functionality, non-technical business users struggle to implement it due to the complexities of operationalizing automation within a business context."
"Automation Anywhere can be improved in certain areas specified in the cognitive zone where the information needs better OCR Engine + Machine Learning capabilities. Also, they can improve on the System Identified region function of the IQ Bot - Our team faced a tough time in handling that as we were not able to assign variable to System Identified Region as the IQ Bot tool wasn't allowing it."
"The website can be buggy at times, and I would like to see improvements in latency and slow response times."
"Automation Anywhere can be improved with better documentation."
"One of the important drawbacks of Automation Anywhere is that it needs to be able to show the automated process as a single flowchart."
"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 synchronization between the ITAM and Neurons should be restored."
"Queries fail to retrieve the correct information, and the discovery tool does not accurately reflect the details of devices."
"We're trying to use it for the help desk, but that's not exactly its strong suit."
"It would be beneficial if the solution could show more account-related information, beyond just the main Active Directory user account, and include management capabilities for other account types."
"In Vietnam, there's no Lansweeper office, making it difficult to find the right vendor to get the license."
"It would be great if Lansweeper could combine security functions like vulnerability management."
"In Lansweeper, reporting has some glitches. Reporting needs to be more customized as per customer requirements."
"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."
"I don't have any complaints about it, and I've never really had any issues. It isn't wizard-driven or anything like that, but it doesn't need to be. For someone who is not familiar with system administration, it would be daunting. There would be a lot of info there. They wouldn't necessarily know what to do, but that's not its target audience. For its target audience, in particular, it doesn't need to change. It is really a good tool."
"The support is an area that could improve. The support staff could be more knowledgeable."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"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. If they can make it a little more cost-effective or bundle packages a little bit more, that would be beneficial."
"I feel the cost of licensing is very high for the A2019 version."
"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."
"Automation Anywhere is expensive, making it more suitable for enterprise organizations."
"If you are looking into Automation Anywhere, get the Community Edition and play with it."
"There may be room for the product to be more competitively priced to excel in the market."
"Cost is the biggest area in need of improvement for Automation Anywhere. Annually it's $250,000. That's what deterred us right away."
"Cost-wise, it is fine. A lot of medium businesses prefer Automation Anywhere. The development cost is also lower."
"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."
"It is not high and it is fair according to the worth it offers."
"It actually costs some money in the long run because of the licensing model."
"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."
