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.

Provides limited scalability, and systems do not synchronize properly

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

"Automation Anywhere has helped us save on both time and cost."

"We reduce the time that scientists spend on manual tasks and put them on more value-added work."

"By automating those processes we achieved high ROI, great customer satisfaction, better STP, reduced manual work, reduced processing time, high accuracy, and 24/7 working capacity with the AA bots."

"This Testing Anywhere is a good tool for the functional testing and also good for the beginners in Automation who don't have knowledge in scripting."

"With the cash flow generated just on the one bot we had operating, it's paid for itself in the first month."

"It's very easy to use. It helps streamline manual processes."

"One of the things I appreciate the most about Automation Anywhere is that it's in the cloud, so when we are on-site on a project, we collect a lot of data, hand it to this bot, and it runs the function; by the time we reach our destination, whether we move from San Francisco to New York, it's equivalent to 20 people's work in six hours, utilizing quite a few attended or unattended bots."

"When this technology first came to market, I thought it was about robotic things, which we cannot do, however, when I started to learn about Automation Anywhere, it's completely different; it's a user friendly tool with drag and drop commands and a person just needs technical, logical thinking."

More Automation Anywhere pros

"The solution is easy to setup."

"The product's stability in terms of uptime is generally good; it is always operational."

"Its integrated process data-model is a feature that's valuable for us."

"It gave us professionalized, faster incident turn around times. Improved quality of information shared with our customers. Over time we build an extensive knowledge base that assists in both self-service as in services provided by the servicedesk when handling incidents."

"Overall, I have seen a substantial ROI when it comes to reporting: a faster response and also the assignment of tickets."

"We recently moved to ServiceNow from HP Service Manager about two years ago and it's been leaps and bounds just better than what we had before."

"Discovery is super advantageous and has gotten us away from the manual work of walking the floor to find assets, while Automatic Workflows are a big deal that helps streamline processes and interconnect incident management."

"The product is extremely stable, with no bugs or glitches, and it doesn't crash or freeze, making it very reliable and not problematic at all."

"Of all the systems in our environment, ours has been the most stable."

"ServiceNow is a cloud solution. That fact was very important for us, that it is not an on-prem solution, as it reduces our internal cost of support."

More ServiceNow pros

Cons

"In the learning track, I was looking at the latest feature which is coming in A2019, which is very nice, because it is a web-based. So, we can do our development while sitting from anywhere. We don't need any type of installation. It's a web-based. Nowadays, everyone has the Internet."

"In the next release of this solution, I would like to see a plug-and-play tool for NLP programming."

"The key area where improvement can happen is understanding the different perspectives and different industries that they're serving in terms of industry-wise use cases."

"The IQ Bot is pretty immature, in regards to AI and machine learning. I would like them to add additional logic."

"As of now IQ Bot only takes/fetches the record of the places that we have marked. e.g. Invoices fields that are dynamic in nature are very difficult to fetch the data from the scan copy. If this feature gets added, it will save a lot of time for developers."

"I would like to have a bot as a service platform on AA Cloud."

"We have had a lot of issues using Automation Anywhere and find ourselves stuck."

"There is a lot of scope for improvement in terms of stability. It is a concern, because right now we are close to 20 to 25 percent false negatives that are coming up."

More Automation Anywhere cons

"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."

"Sometimes there is not enough information about releases. For example, right now we have an issue understanding what the roadmap is for the Scaled Agile Framework."

"ServiceNow might need to improve its capabilities to integrate with third-party tools."

"We have implemented some various complex ACLs and they've impacted our performance significantly, and we've had several incidents open to help with performance, and it's been kind of a struggle to get the ServiceNow support group to say "Yup, I see it's a problem, let's do this.""

"The Software Asset Management feature can be improved. We would like to see more features for the Software Asset Management functionality. Its price can also be better. It is currently more expensive than other solutions."

"The setup wasn't as straightforward or easy as it should have been."

"In some cases stability is an issue."

"The user interface for accessing assistance sometimes disconnects."

"Licensing costs are very high."

More ServiceNow cons

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."

"As our team size increases, we may get some more licenses for the tool."

"It looks like it will be right around $115,000, not counting IQ Bot, which we won't renew until later."

"The current pricing for Automation Anywhere seems a little higher compared to competitors Power Automate or UiPath. Automation Anywhere is perceived as pricey due to the support model charges ranging from 20% to 30% based on the plans."

"In most of the cases, the product value is very good. If the infrastructure, implementation, and framework are good, then generally, the client can get a good return on investment."

"No one is balking at the cost. They are market rates and will change, but no one is saying, "That is ridiculous or impossible." They are saying, "Show me the ROI and prove that the cost is accurate.""

"Our costs are approximately between $5,000 to $10,000 per license."

"If it is saving FTE and Generating a good ROI then it is Worth Investing."

More Automation Anywhere pricing and cost advice

"The solution is reasonably priced."

"I would say it is moderately expensive, ranging from six to seven on a scale of ten."

"The licenses are expensive."

"Isn't pricing always too much? We really do chafe at the ITIL licensing. ITOM is also pretty expensive."

"The CapEx version is great."

"The solution is expensive."

"$230 per user."

"It has a higher cost compared to local/regional solutions."

"It is fairly expensive."
