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.

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.

Comprehensive IT service processes have been supported but customization and support need improvement

All ITSM functionalities of SymphonyAI IT Service Management, including incident, problem, change, service request, and their out-of-the-box functionalities, are pretty good. SymphonyAI IT Service Management does not have too many integrations and does not have too many out-of-the-box integrations compared to other peers in the market. I think that is the only place where they lack. However, they did have a functionality where we could build our own integration, so we were using that. If they had any out-of-the-box capabilities for some of the common infrastructure tools, that would have been easier for us. The out-of-the-box functionalities were good, including AI. However, the moment we had to customize options, that becomes very difficult with SymphonyAI IT Service Management. As long as we were using out-of-the-box, it worked great.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The initial deployment of Automation Anywhere is user-friendly, the wizards are self-explanatory, it is a very low-code environment that allows flexibility to explore based on the project's complexity, and overall I believe Automation Anywhere is a very user-friendly tool."

"It extracts what the IQ Bot does, converting it and ensuring the entire process right from the input to the output and is fully automated. It is digitizing a particular process, which is really great."

"The features that we found most valuable have been just automating manual processes. We are able to integrate and work with applications that users typically work with. That has been the best feature for us right now."

"We have more than 50 bots in the company, the FTE and ROI are very good, and in the future we have many projects in pipeline that we are about to implement, so definitely there is a good ROI and FTE savings for us."

"With IQ Bot, we can now include cognitive automation into our process. The cognitive document processing is pretty good with IQ Bot."

"It is very self-explanatory, making it easy for non-technical users to develop."

"The valuable features that I see for automation with enterprise RPA are IQ Bot and Bot Insights. If you do anything, Bot Insight will provide the dashboard. It starts from the developer with artificial intelligence and the dashboard, which will provide the visibility of business-level metrics as well as operational-level metrics. Those are the good things I see in automation."

"The solution has removed humans making errors while increasing our time savings, and we now have a lot more efficiencies in our process."

More Automation Anywhere pros

"Anyone who is considering Jira Software, I would recommend they go with Jira Service Desk."

"JIRA helps integrate Kanban Board features and for this reason what it does it does well."

"My advice to users is that JIRA Service Management is a good project management tool to handle projects respectively and efficiently."

"Simplicity is a key aspect. It is not hard to use."

"The solution has improved company functioning by providing more transparency, in my opinion."

"We get software developed faster."

"What I really like about this solution, is how it manages the queues, the tickets and the routing."

"The most valuable feature of the solution is its SLA, which everybody wants when it comes to a service-based offering."

More JIRA Service Management pros

"It was easy to access and fast. Our experience using it solely as a ticketing tool. We used fetch reports from the tool, particularly with regard to SLA tracking for our partners."

"All ITSM functionalities of SymphonyAI IT Service Management, including incident, problem, change, service request, and their out-of-the-box functionalities, are pretty good."

"SummitAI IT Management Suite's chat box feature has reduced our service discount, and because it's intelligent, the responses that go out to the users have improved, and the resolutions are much faster."

"The most valuable feature is remote access. People are working from home, and we can take remote access through it."

"It is a good tool to use."

"The product has the best features for ITSM."

Cons

"The product is not the best that it could be. There is always room to improve it a bit more. They are heading in the right direction with their innovations."

"The data migration could be better."

"Their bot runners could be made to handle multiple payloads at the same time because if I want to run multiple parallel operations, the number of bot runners that I have to buy just keeps increasing. It is adding to the cost. However, there is a possibility that we don't need that many bot runners, and we can run multiple operations in a bot runner. This would be a great addition to have."

"The solution should have a more robust forum to help users navigate the solution, learn about it, and get help when they need it."

"Automation Anywhere's UI is difficult. Its user interface can be improved."

"Our tool is a bit slow, as it's a legacy tool. Automation Anywhere is having some issues when running back."

"Its licensing can become too expensive for a small startup company."

"Overall improvement is needed for non-technical users who face challenges with how to use it and how to perform more tasks."

More Automation Anywhere cons

"Lacks an interface where the customer can report issues."

"Integration could be improved."

"An improvement they could add is a better management dashboard. We only use the dashboard for the administration mode. We have a dashboard that reports the state of bugs or requirements. However, customers can only view requests that they made. We are not able to share a dashboard with our manager level customers to show them all of the requests in a quick dashboard."

"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."

"With Jira, we were unable to implement time-based automation in its ticketing system."

"I don't think the program is very scalable."

"In general, JIRA has no relation to customers or financials. Therefore, marketplace add-ons are needed to make it work for customer-facing systems."

"An AI feature that enables automation and alerts for users can be an improvement."

More JIRA Service Management cons

"I would like them to add software inventory in the next release. We don't have that right now."

"SummitAI IT Management Suite's project management and operational management features could be improved."

"There could be flexibility in terms of customization."

"Technical support takes too long for any issues to get resolved, and that created a lot of frustration."

"Integration was a major limitation with SummitAI."

Pricing and Cost Advice

"We generally follow the Gain-Sharing Pricing model, which enables the customer to start getting the RPA benefits right from day one of their implementation."

"It is reasonable, but it can always be a little bit cheaper."

"It is affordable for us."

"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."

"If you look at the capital expenditure, Automation Anywhere is number two to UiPath. But if you take a long-term view, on a scalable model of a large number of bots coming out, it slowly goes on to become the costliest tool. There is something they can do about that. The capital expenditure goes out right at the point of buying the tool. For Automation Anywhere, I would need to spend $20,000. UiPath can give me something for $6,000, while Blue Prism will come in at $300,000."

"The cost of this solution is a little bit high, but it is worth the price."

"I am using that Automation Anywhere Master Certification for version 11. Recently, this has been updated in Automation Anywhere University. Until this month, it's free to use. There are no charges. That's why I would like to complete it this month."

"Cost is the biggest area in need of improvement for Automation Anywhere. Annually it's $250,000. That's what deterred us right away."

More Automation Anywhere pricing and cost advice

"Buying a software solution is only a half part of the solution (or even less). You need to optimize usage of the software by hiring professionals who will help you to make the most of the software, especially in the beginning."

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

"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."

"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."

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

"The license we use is on a yearly basis. As a Solution Partner, we were using the free one and were using the free plugins. We were also giving our own plugins to the Atlassian Solution Partners for free. We don't pay anything to Atlassian."

"The price of the solution is becoming expensive and it should be reduced."

"It is a cheaply priced product."

More JIRA Service Management pricing and cost advice

"We have a regular license."

"The product's cost is average."

"SummitAI IT Management Suite's pricing is a bit expensive."
