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.

Lead Engineer at intelQong Technology

Automation has reduced repetitive endpoint maintenance and keeps our educational devices compliant

Every software has some drawbacks and cons. For Ivanti Autonomous Endpoint Management, I think the first improvement I would suggest is to simplify initial configuration. The process to make endpoint enrollment, device grouping, and configuration easier, particularly for organizations managing different categories of devices, would be helpful. If the initial configuration is simplified, better workflows for shared computers, labs, faculty workstations, and administrative devices would make it easier to apply different software and security policies without duplicating configuration. For my work, I would suggest one improvement that would make my experience with Ivanti smoother than before. I would want Ivanti to clearly explain the root cause when something fails, such as when a patch deployment or automated remediation fails. It shows the error code, but when we are doing a lot of work, it kind of makes a lot of hassle to read the documentation or ask an AI what kind of error it is facing. My recommendation here is to show the issue, show the full explanation of how it is working, where it failed, and show whether the issue can be safely resolved automatically without needing a third party. I think it needs a lot of improvement. First of all, centralized management and scalability can be improved, particularly the ability to manage endpoint configuration, which would be more helpful for my field of work. Regarding scalability, centralized deployment and policy enforcement can help maintain consistency across larger device fleets without configuring every endpoint individually. I think another improvement would be detailed failure diagnostics, flexible maintenance scheduling, controlled policy rollouts, and clearer reporting on whether the fix will cause any issues.

Remote control and massive deployment streamline operations efficiently

It seems that it is a bit difficult to learn and purchase. The requirement for employees to be certified before purchasing is understandable yet can be a hurdle. A focus on more simplicity and user-friendly features would be beneficial. More training deals, up-to-date articles, and improved documentation would help users navigate the solution more intuitively.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"AA has helped to automate a complex Audit process, saving auditors from doing the mundane manual task of logging into multiple applications independently while the bot securely manages credentials, collects screenshots, builds PDFs, and reports results."

"The control room is the best part as everything can be seen and controlled from there, scheduling storing of credentials, and much more. I have used PDF extraction and other tools where data needs to be extracted and it works great at that part. I highly recommended this tool for automation."

"We have started to see the ROI, as activities in which resources in my team would have taken four to five hours are now done in 30 minutes."

"Training videos are very good and include detailed examples, which is really helpful for beginners."

"AA brings a lot of benefits for our organization in a number of different ways."

"Automation Anywhere was the simplest solution, and it offered us immediate support."

"The MetaBots are by far the most effective system within AA. Due to the fact that no scripting is required and only the passing of variables or values to get a definite result. IQ Bot with the ABBY OCR is a powerful component to do multiple extractions in the shortest possible timeframe in comparison to human execution of similarly identified tasks or operations."

"The deployment was good."

More Automation Anywhere pros

"The products are quite good when they are operational."

"Ivanti Autonomous Endpoint Management has positively impacted my organization by being highly effective because now everything is mapped out and managed."

"Both in terms of features and operations, this is a good solution."

"The user interface is user-friendly."

"Ivanti Autonomous Endpoint Management has had a significant positive impact on my organization, particularly in reducing manual endpoint management efforts and moving from reactive support to proactive remediation."

"The solution is a good product and I have heard that the interface is more friendly than that of Windows."

"We can set a maintenance window and push the patch."

"I like the product's Peer to Peer patching feature."

More Ivanti Autonomous Endpoint Management pros

"The inventory in Quest KACE Asset Management Appliance is very valuable."

"Quest KACE Asset Management Appliance is highly stable."

"Remote control and massive deployment for fixing bugs and issues on multiple computers and systems at once are highly valued."

"We utilize the package management feature the most. We also use it for getting the inventory. Companies like us don't have an inventory or asset management system per se. A lot of companies, for instance, use SCCM as their asset management tool. We are using Quest KACE Asset Management Appliance for asset management, which is a good feature. The feature that I really like is to be able to upgrade to the Windows management systems or Windows version. It is very seamless, and I have found it fairly good."

"The ability to work on printers and everything can be done remotely, which enhances functionality."

"The solution is scalable."

"We use the solution for IT service desk management and asset management."

"The platform offers efficient stability."

More KACE Asset Management Appliance pros

Cons

"Cloud was one of the features we wanted to see, because it makes it much easier. The second feature is ease of use in terms of agnostic operating system."

"We also got a tool from Automation Anywhere that was supposed to fix or patch a problem, but it didn't work. It was a horrible, pathetic product that they brought out when it wasn't ready."

"Maybe not improved but I heard that the 2019 version is going to look more like UiPath, which is not ideal for a typical/classic developer."

"MetaBot still needs to be optimized, though Version 11.3 did integrate all the commands into it. We are not able to see all the lines of code which are executed in MetaBot."

"They need to make the solution more robust."

"Automation Anywhere is a tool. It is not able to go ahead and extract the hand-written documents. Most of the automation tools that we have in the market are not able to get an accuracy of close to 80 to 90 percent on hand-written documents. So, I'm eagerly looking at a release from Automation Anywhere, wherein they could plug in an LP or look at some sort of a platform which could convert hand-written documents into a readable format. If they could bring in they own platform, this would make a big in-roads for the entire automation industry."

"We've had a lot of issues with the installation and performance on a variety of computers, onshore and offshore. Our network bounds multiple domains, and we've had issues there, as well. So, we are looking forward to the web-based development versions."

"Security needs improvement."

More Automation Anywhere cons

"Customer support is really poor."

"I also found the UI to be quite complicated to work with, so it takes quite a bit of time to train any new staff and to get them to understand how the solution works."

"Regarding improvements for Ivanti Autonomous Endpoint Management, I would suggest including other operating systems like Ubuntu and improving the remote control functionality, especially for users on VPN."

"The reports have to show the compliance level of the patching, which Ivanti does not provide."

"We would like the initial setup to be simpler."

"Integration errors with endpoints generated more incidents, so there wasn't that much improvement, and we actually still need to improve this."

"Ivanti Neurons for UEM could be improved by providing training on the dashboard, which could help users understand better how they can get more out of the platform."

"I would like to have better support for the application."

More Ivanti Autonomous Endpoint Management cons

"Quest KACE Asset Management Appliance can improve by incorporating AI and machine learning into the solution."

"It seems that it is a bit difficult to learn and purchase."

"Sometimes, it feels like the inventory it takes is not 100% accurate. I would say it is correct 90% of the time. We have had some issues. So, we have to rely on some factors of inconsistency in the data."

"The initial setup was burdensome for us because we manually deployed it."

"The price of the solution is high, it would be beneficial if it was more flexible and less expensive."

"The first thing I don't like about KACE is that it needs to have a proper service desk. The categories and the command section do not reflect the users and the permanent users porting commands on updating. There is an issue and delay in loading the commands. We also want a proper structure for infrastructure management. Also, the AI chatbot and user template options are missing."

"The remote desktop tool they are using needs improvement. They have integrated some third-party tools for remote desktop connections but that is a bit complicated. That can be further simplified."

"Quest KACE Asset Management Appliance could improve areas related to the management of updates, especially concerning new operating systems."

More KACE Asset Management Appliance cons

Pricing and Cost Advice

"We are a partner of Automation Anywhere and find the pricing to be reasonable."

"The cost is anywhere between $10,000 and $100,000."

"I would like them to have better license management."

"I have heard that Automation Anywhere is expensive."

"We paid separately for the Runner and Creater components. The final cost depends on the structure of your environment."

"The certifications are free of cost."

"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.""

"Based on what I've heard, it's costly, but I don't know much about its pricing."

More Automation Anywhere pricing and cost advice

"The price of MobileIron UEM is very good."

"The solution is expensive compared to other products."

"My impression is that MobileIron is very expensive."

"The license can get expensive if you have a lot of nodes."

"The solution is affordable."

"For the one that works with SCCM, it is relatively inexpensive at $8 USD per node, yearly. The standalone product has two versions; the one that patches servers is about $45 USD annually and the version that patches workstations is about half that price at $22 USD."

"While the price is a bit high, it may be equitable with the features one gets with the product, such as that involving the interface."

"The product is expensive."

"Quest KACE Asset Management Appliance provides two remote desktop licenses which are helpful. The price of the solution is high, it would be beneficial if it was more flexible and less expensive."

"It is less expensive as compared to SCCM."

"I would rate the solution's pricing a six out of ten."
