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.

Unified endpoint control has improved patch workflows and streamlined remote device management
I like the patch management side of things in this solution. You can set deployment rings so patches are rolled out in phases rather than hitting everyone at once, which reduces risk. I quite like that feature. I also appreciate the endpoint visibility when you're in the dashboard. You can see device health, the compliance status, software inventory, and other information all in one place without jumping between tools. Ivanti Neurons for ITSM is a key tool and is very important to my service delivery efficiency. Since implementing it and having used it for two years, the ease of use is a significant advantage because it covers Windows, Mac OS, iOS, and Android, so I can operate and manage devices all from the same console. This is good in a mixed device environment. From a Windows perspective, the BitLocker key retrieval feature is very helpful. The analytics and reporting tools in this product are helpful. I can see device health and out-of-warranty status. This is crucial in keeping our environment up to date and secure.

Enterprise Solutions & Services Head at Duroob Technology
A fairly stable solution that’s highly mature, but has a poor user interface
The solution does not align as modern service solutions do. Seamless integration is no available among the processes. Their service management application needs a lot of work. It’s in a really bad state right now. They brought on a new interface that clumped all the processes and features of the solution into one. Still, it’s not really compatible with other solutions. Because of this, its rating has dropped in Gardner. The solution needs to improve its reporting features. The user interface needs a lot of improvements. The product needs to implement a cloud platform solution, which is lacking so far. Their workflow engine is still segregated. It’s not embedded. If you need to do some workflow approvals, you cannot do them directly on the service desk. You have to go into Outlook and do an approval or you have to go in through another screen to handle the approval because the workflow engine they have is a separate product.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"Automation Anywhere is unlike any other software; Automation Anywhere provides me with my bread and butter, and I just love the tool."
"With RPA, specifically with Automation Anywhere, it has really helped us engage with those clients and achieve the results that they want."
"We have almost 27 use cases in production and, as of now, we have saved almost eight FTEs per annum."
"The Control Room is the most valuable feature. This is where I can schedule a task. It runs 24/7, so it's a great feature that I love. If we are not in office, we can schedule something and leave, then the bot will run at the scheduled time."
"Some of the really impactful features of working with Automation Anywhere are the ability to design and partner with their experts to come up with our solutions."
"A cloud deployment typically takes no more than one business day."
"Automation Anywhere receives high marks for its ease of use."
"Instead of packages like other RPA tools, I think the repo check-in and check-out feature enables the same in AA."
"It is easy to set up."
"What I appreciate about Ivanti Neurons for ITSM is its comprehensive change request management system, which we utilize for server patching, workstation patching, BIOS updates, and driver updates, enabling us to have CAB meetings to discuss changes and approve them before implementation."
"Primarily, I believe the focus lies on discovery, workflow configuration, and automation."
"The interface, workflow, and dashboards are powerful and easy to manage for tracking KPIs and sharing strategies with our customers."
"The solution's installation depends on its customization. It is easy."
"Overall, the platform, in its abilities, is really powerful, especially now with AI as a part of hyper-automation."
"Ivanti Neurons for ITSM is a key tool and is very important to my service delivery efficiency."
"Understand that this product is a great investment."
"The most valuable feature is the ability to easily create service catalogues for our customers, something that we didn't have previously with the other tool we were using, which was SDM."
"The solution is a highly mature product, and because of this, it can stand up to any other product on the market."
"It provides us with a very easy and flexible UI for CA Nimsoft Service Desk 7."
"This is the best product for Large Infrastructure companies/organizations to monitor their infrastructures/servers etc."
"The most valuable features for me are scalable architecture, customization potential where the UI, background, and data movement allow you to tailor to the nitty gritty details of what you might need in your environment, and advanced workflow management."
"Using the self-service functionalities we have been able to eliminate a lot of the support phone calls, and actually reduce a lot of our help desk staff."
"It’s provided self-service and automation, notifications, and reporting, and it’s good on a day-to-day and macro perspective."
"The support is pretty good, the follow up is great; it is 24 hours, so that’s been useful, and it has a good escalation path, which is essential."
 

Cons

"The product needs to catch up to the promise of known technology and apply more intelligent behaviors concerning AI or unstructured learning."
"Sometimes, while recording, the screen hangs and we are not able to perform any actions during that time."
"I would like to leverage the AI component without the requirement to know a coding language, such as Python."
"Commands in Excel, Outlook, and Word automation are very limited and hence facing difficulties automating complex requirements for the above applications with V11 version."
"The scheduling is a little difficult at times. Rather than setting up individual instances, it would be really nice if we had the ability to set repetitive jobs easily. Right now, if you want a job to run every 15 minutes, you have to schedule it a lot of times. I'd rather have the ability to just say 'run every 15 minutes.'"
"With the PDF command, you can only read structured data. If your data is in an unstructured format, there is no command for it in Automation Anywhere. Then, people need to use Python coding if their data is in unstructured format. Therefore, Automation Anywhere needs to improve in the PDF area."
"The solution should have a more robust forum to help users navigate the solution, learn about it, and get help when they need it."
"In the Microsoft Excel features, it needs a command to wait for a calculation to complete."
"The support that we're currently getting is just not there."
"There could be an improvement in the ability to easily integrate other systems without extensive development."
"The process to add fields is time consuming and requires the system to be offline while you apply an Edit Set."
"Configuration requirements are extensive, even in basic Service Desk processes."
"They could provide product integration with popular platforms."
"Perhaps one area that could see enhancement is at the hardware level, particularly regarding endpoint control."
"Ivanti Neurons for ITSM is not a user-friendly tool when compared to ServiceNow."
"The user interface could be more futuristic and modernized in terms of styling and colors."
"It loses points because it’s not GUI enough, too code-y."
"We had a lot of issues with non-Windows servers during implementation."
"Few probes need improvement in their function and the way they get deployed for monitoring."
"When tickets are closed occasionally, it is quite hard to reopen it, which will cause lost-tickets."
"I think they could update some of the interface. It doesn't look as pretty as some of the other ones."
"Their service management application needs a lot of work."
"Usability for IT analysts could be improved."
"We have been seeing a little bit of latency here and there, but we haven't been able to identify it."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"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."
"Our pricing a year ago was $600 per license."
"Our advice is that anybody interested in this product should negotiate product bundles in order to reduce the cost of installation and setup."
"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."
"It is expensive. I would rate Automation Anywhere an eight out of ten in terms of pricing."
"Time-wise: We have saved hundreds of thousands of hours."
"The cost for scalability is much cheaper than developing a new system."
"Licensing costs range from $50,000 to $200,000."
"If you want to add more users who can handle support there will be additional fees. What we call our extensions, we need to pay more for. They tell us that we need to acquire more licenses or something like that. I think it's very expensive, because in terms the pula, our local currency, it's about 20,000 per license for each user. It is an annual fee."
"The product is affordable for small businesses."
"The price is on the higher side. The support is included in the standard licensing fees."
"My customers do direct sales with Ivanti, and they complain that Ivanti Automation is more expensive than other solutions."
"I came to know from my team members that my company used to operate ServiceNow but shifted to Ivanti Neurons for ITSM due to its low licensing prices."
