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.

Comprehensive workflows and data views have supported complex teams but still need cost improvements

JIRA Service Management is costly. The pricing structure needs improvement. When I add some plugins, I have to pay the cost for every user whether they are using it or not. For smaller companies, the detailed workflow editing and the kind of details that JIRA Service Management provides would be complex. For startups and smaller companies, JIRA Service Management would be complex. The cloud offering is easier because I don't have to manage the infrastructure. There are two templates of the project: company-managed and team-managed. Team-managed is a newer feature, which is good for startup-kind companies where they don't need control over data from multiple projects displaying in one dashboard. For startups, JIRA Service Management is somewhat complex with its schemes and everything. Capacity management should be improved in terms of additional features in the next release of JIRA Service Management.

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 product is easy to use, and it helps business users to more easily understand RPA."

"Automation Anywhere is the best."

"The character extraction capability of IQ Bot is much, much better than the other OCR (Optical Character Recognition) engines that you have in the market today."

"We've been using a lot of object cloning and screen scraping, but we've also had success with: inbuilt email functionality, some integrations to incorporate heterogeneous systems like Python scripting, etc."

"It is easy to use and developer-friendly. The development time is very short. If any system needs to be changed or any functionality needs to be incorporated to any of the technology, it usually will be a long process, like months. With this innovative tool's automation, it is very dynamic, easy to develop, and deliver results quickly. With some of our use cases, we were able to deliver within the time frame of two to three weeks, which is the biggest plus with this tool."

"The way templates can be configured is quite simple - it's a matter of drag and drop."

"There are quite a few very strong features available to users."

"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."

More Automation Anywhere pros

"Overall, it's the best option on the market, after looking at other products."

"Everyone knows how to use it, so there's no need to teach new members."

"With JIRA Service Management, tracking requests is better, because users contact us through tickets, and we are also able to ask for feedback from the users more easily, for example, if our service was good, or if they have any issues with the solution."

"The dashboards are nicely laid out."

"It's easy to use and the fastest way to handle a ticketing system."

"A good organizational tool."

"We get software developed faster."

"The most valuable features of JIRA Service Management are the service level agreement or management, and the ticketing system. Additionally, there are frequent updates that provide improvements."

More JIRA Service Management pros

"It's quite a complete entry into the SaaS ITSM market with a reasonable price point."

"The ability to add Additional Information Screens on the fly."

"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."

"It’s provided self-service and automation, notifications, and reporting, and it’s good on a day-to-day and macro perspective."

"This is really easy solution to scale up and get get going to add new catalog items."

"Improved the effectiveness of my Service Desk Team and improved the SLA timing."

"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."

"Essential service management solution all in one, like 100- for service request, 200- for change request, 300- for incidents, 400- for problems."

More Serviceaide ChangeGear pros

Cons

"The time taken to execute a Bot through A2019 can be reduced."

"Automation Anywhere can include database commands like insert row, bold row, etc commands in 11.x"

"I suggest increasing assistance from support personnel."

"I would like it to have AI and ML capabilities."

"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."

"I would like better support. The technical support is mediocre. The support is sometimes really good, and sometimes it is really bad."

"I would like more integration into the entire Microsoft Suite of products, not just Excel. Companies use all of Microsoft products at the same time, and being good at just one Microsoft tool is a limiting factor. Being able to use Microsoft Excel, Access, and Outlook together and have them integrated (as standard) into the tool would be very useful, especially when you go into attended automation."

"I would like the ability to extract the code. You can go line by line, then open up each line of code and dig into the details, but it would be nice to extract all of the lines of code and all of the details into a document so we could read through everything. Right now, there is no way to really consume all of the code at once, except line by line, which can be fairly time consuming if we don't really know what we are looking for."

More Automation Anywhere cons

"The deployment can be a bit complex, especially for those who are not technical."

"The way it handles subtasks can be improved. We would really like the ability to have different types of subtasks. If we have a user story for a feature, we would like to have a subtask for documentation, a subtask for requirements, a subtask for development, and a subtask for testing. Right now, we just make four subtasks, but there is no way to specify their type, so we have to add a custom field to specify what type of work is this. It just means you've got to look at more data. For logging time or time tracking, we would like to have something using which we can define the work type we're doing. We would like to log whether we're working on a bug, a new development, scope change, or rework. We've got a user story for which we do the dev, and then we have to do more dev. It is the same story, but some of it could have been a scope change, and some of it could be a rework because we either screwed up the first time or missed something obvious. Currently, we have to have a custom field and track that separately. It would be nice to have some kind of work type for logging time."

"I feel JIRA Service Management could be better if the APIs from the sponsoring team provided more support and flexibility in API endpoints."

"Recently, in the Jira cloud, we have had an issue. Users are not able to log in and some of the customer data has also been lost."

"Cost has prohibited us from switching entirely to this solution."

"I think the performance can be better."

"The licensing model could be improved."

"You can use different plug-ins for JIRA Service Desk to add some functionality, but these plug-ins are very expensive."

More JIRA Service Management cons

"Flexibility to customize."

"The deployment was very difficult to handle. It's an unnecessarily difficult process that requires third-party assistance to do correctly."

"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."

"I would love to see better two-factor authentication as that would really help us and make a big difference."

"This is not appropriate for a small or even a medium-sized business. Too much overhead for a small company."

"I think they could update some of the interface. It doesn't look as pretty as some of the other ones."

"When tickets are closed occasionally, it is quite hard to reopen it, which will cause lost-tickets."

Pricing and Cost Advice

"When you compare the cost of Automation Anywhere with UiPath and Blue Prism, those others are much less. Licensing-wise, UiPath wins the deal."

"If I compare it with Blue Prism, Automation Anywhere is cheaper. Blue Prism is very costly. Automation Anywhere's pricing follows the market, not less and not more."

"We have a few licenses. They cost roughly $10,000 each."

"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."

"The pricing that we received from Automation Anywhere in the beginning was very economical for us. We've seen a lot of benefit from what we spent to what we're receiving. From the beginning, it's been a very low-cost implementation for us."

"The licensing fees are approximately $10,000 USD for between five and ten users."

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

"The pricing is fair. My company is part of a big organization, so the pricing is very advantageous."

More Automation Anywhere pricing and cost advice

"For the people like us, the lower the price, the better. But when compared to other competitors, I think it's Jira's price is okay."

"Do not forget to calculate add-on costs. These cost a percentage of the JIRA purchasing costs and are based on the number of JIRA users."

"It's not really expensive, especially when you compare to ServiceNow or other solutions, and it's not expensive to maintain."

"I would suggest to always buy licenses through an Atlassian partner, so you can also rely on their expertise."

"The pricing is very competitive and I think that it is okay."

"Jira Service Management has affordable license fees. It's $12 a month per person."

"On a scale of one to five, where five is a good price and one is high, I would rate this solution as a three. It isn't cheap but it's not ridiculous."

"This is pricey solution. Should we move to using all cloud solutions in our business, we may move to different tools that have multiple functionality versus having a solution for each area. This would be too pricey and we would need to replace Jira with a different solution that also offers other features."
