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.

Manager - Technical Support at a tech vendor with 10,001+ employees
Has helped streamline ticketing and change management while offering clear documentation support
Documentation and learning materials are available for Ivanti Neurons for ITSM, and if you check the vendor sites, you will find documents for each feature. I believe that short videos should be created and uploaded for newcomers to learn quickly since time can be limited. If a user believes in Ivanti, they should also believe in all its products including Ivanti Neurons for ITSM and Neurons because they are genuinely putting in hard work. This is reflected in the documentation, though I suggest they work on creating more videos. Other than that, you will find everything you need in the community site and documentation site. On a scale of 1-10, I rate Ivanti Neurons for ITSM an 8 out of 10.

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

"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."
"The speed-up and greater control over the quality of the processes have also led to savings in money and are increasing the happiness of the company's customers."
"This most valuable features of this solution are the drag-and-drop interface, and it is easy to code."
"In Automation Anywhere, I appreciate the main UIs very much; they are very intuitive."
"All RPA tools used in the market have similar features and aspects that can be developed, however, specifically for Automation Anywhere, the ready-to-use templates which can be used as plug and play are a great feature."
"MetaBots are useful when connecting to websites or to forms with objects that need to be captured."
"I like web automation and SAP application automation."
"Automate Anywhere can just mimic what a human does."
"Overall, the platform, in its abilities, is really powerful, especially now with AI as a part of hyper-automation."
"The integrations are quite simple and clear."
"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."
"The interface, workflow, and dashboards are powerful and easy to manage for tracking KPIs and sharing strategies with our customers."
"Ivanti Neurons for ITSM is a key tool and is very important to my service delivery efficiency."
"The main feature for us is incident management, as it assists me in knowing my assignments because we have group assignments and when we go to the group assignment they can assign it to me there."
"HEAT Service Management is a great tool for assets, service desk, and customer service management."
"They allow us to automate ticketing processes and create requests more efficiently, improving our overall support operations."
"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."
"This is the best product for Large Infrastructure companies/organizations to monitor their infrastructures/servers etc."
"Improved the effectiveness of my Service Desk Team and improved the SLA timing."
"CA Technologies support is excellent."
"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 quite a complete entry into the SaaS ITSM market with a reasonable price point."
"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."
"This is really easy solution to scale up and get get going to add new catalog items."
 

Cons

"One thing about it that we have not found to be exceptionally useful are the built-in bot analytics, the Bot Insights. From our own extensive experimentation, as well as from what we've understood from other people using this solution, we've been able to come up with better solutions using our own in-house analytics and our own systems than through theirs."
"The technical support needs improvement."
"There should be a meeting between the Automation Anywhere team and the end-users to understand whether the process can be made to work on the first attempt."
"Overall improvement is needed for non-technical users who face challenges with how to use it and how to perform more tasks."
"Pricing is too high for small-scale groups. The Control Room yearly fee is high, making it difficult to break even."
"Their OCR is a bit expensive, meaning the IQ Bot."
"One thing with the bot that we are always struggling with is the memory management."
"We have been looking at processes which can easily transition into a large scale environment, where you can have cloud or hybrid model. However, being a bank, some of our processes are critical and we would like to hold those on-premise. This limits us with our usage of Automation Anywhere."
"The support that we're currently getting is just not there."
"I believe that short videos should be created and uploaded for newcomers to learn quickly since time can be limited."
"I have had to open a few support tickets with the HEAT Service Management. They are very good but there are some areas that they could improve on."
"There's a lack of integration with other products. This needs to be improved."
"There is room for improvement in terms of response time. The support team takes a long time to respond."
"Ivanti Neurons for ITSM's support model is not very strong. You should buy professional services. Its self-service portal and survey are extremely lacking. You cannot customize it, and it doesn't look very good. The solution does not have a strong community."
"Currently, the solution only supports SOAP web services, but a REST interface is on the roadmap and has been confirmed for mid-next year."
"Configuration requirements are extensive, even in basic Service Desk processes."
"I would love to see better two-factor authentication as that would really help us and make a big difference."
"Flexibility to customize."
"Few probes need improvement in their function and the way they get deployed for monitoring."
"Importing data with relations is difficult and could be better."
"Actually this product and its limitations reduced the Service Desk effectiveness compared to the product we were using."
"The solution needs to improve its reporting features. The user interface needs a lot of improvements."
"We have been seeing a little bit of latency here and there, but we haven't been able to identify it."
"The deployment was very difficult to handle. It's an unnecessarily difficult process that requires third-party assistance to do correctly."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The cost of this solution is a little bit high, but it is worth the price."
"In terms of pricing, it's not at all cheap, and that's a concern. The licensing cost is very high. While I don't know the exact prices of other tools, Microsoft offers the lowest pricing for its RPA platform compared to UiPath and Automation Anywhere."
"Costs savings have been seen by employing bots for multiple shifts instead of people."
"Automation Anywhere might have a higher upfront cost than some competitors, but its extensive features and seamless integration with other tools can save organizations money in the long run."
"There may be room for the product to be more competitively priced to excel in the market."
"It's a bit expensive compared to other RPA tools on the market."
"In terms of pricing, this is a good product."
"Additional costs will be for the machines and the number of machines that you are using. You can deploy virtually as well as on physical machines. In both the situations, you do need to allocate a certain budget for securing the machines and where the software will be installed and running. The machines cannot be used for anything else, because only a certain bot can run at a certain time. You need to be very particular about your scheduling of running the bots, and while the bot is running nobody can use the machine. You cannot have an agent working on a machine and the bot running in the background. It has to be completely dedicated. Then there are the network bandwidth requirements and space requirements, which are additional costs apart from the licensing and software costs. The developer is also going to charge you for their coding time too."
"The price is on the higher side. The support is included in the standard licensing fees."
"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."
"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."
