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.

Executive Director at Marval Software
Offers multi-tenancy architecture, both in terms of functionality and reporting, requires minimal configuration and no-code deployment
We're still biased towards our previous, more mature product. 4me still needs to reach that level of maturity. However, for most users, the product will do what they need. It's only when you have mature service management processes and need deeper integrations at the process level that you might encounter some limitations. But for less mature needs, 4me works well.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The features of Automation Anywhere improve my company by making deployment and maintenance of our automations a smoother process overall."
"None of the commands are unique to Automation Anywhere, which allows beginners to leverage external knowledge."
"Automation Anywhere has improved our company a lot. The SLA of some tasks that we need to deliver to some clients has improved greatly."
"The time savings from using Document Automation are substantial, as previously a team of about five to ten people managed specific processes end-to-end, such as processing fourteen thousand entries in a month, but after automation, that entire process is streamlined, saving us a lot of FTEs."
"Web-based control is the most valuable feature. We can access it from anywhere in the world with the control room URL and in any browser. Bot Insights make our report generation and other insights view easier. We can export the data in the form of CSV, PDF, etc."
"Scalability is one of the best things about most of the RPA bots. Once you create one, scalability is just about multiplying them."
"For an organization who is looking to do some business renovation, the solution can work well depending on its purpose and usage."
"The UI is very user-friendly, even for someone who doesn't have much coding knowledge."
"A good organizational tool."
"Simplicity is a key aspect. It is not hard to use."
"The tool is scalable."
"The most valuable features of this solution are Incident and Request Management."
"This is the most complete and versatile enterprise task management product and issue tracker."
"Reporting and easy export to Excel spreadsheets."
"JSM's pricing is one of the best, starting at around $10 per user, per month, with volume discounts available."
"Our service desk is completely automated using Jira for everyone in the organization."
"The multi-tenancy architecture, both in terms of functionality and reporting, is the best feature. It is a really well-thought, designed, and developed part of this product."
"I like their request management as well as their project management."
"It offers a comprehensive set of features without requiring additional payments for each feature."
"The solution is highly stable."
"When compared to BMC Helix ITSM, the 4me setup is much simpler and less complicated."
 

Cons

"There should be more available Data Analytics and more AI Front and Deep Learn concepts."
"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."
"It would be better if they could extend the support for AA version 11 for a few more years, as most of the companies have tasks completed in AA version 11, and A2019 is much slower compared to AA 11."
"The document processing, OCR, needs to be more accurate. Sometimes, when you try it on documents, it keeps on failing and goes to a different queue. It needs to mature."
"The Image Recognition functionality should be enhanced to improve the accuracy of checkboxes."
"In high-availability, we have two Control Rooms acting as a cluster so if one fails the other one will take over. But that's not our environment operationally, and the latest information we have is that they identified another product bug."
"Automation Anywhere should improve its OCR capabilities."
"We run these bots in multiple environments from staging to development to production. We find usually in the production environment when we run the bots for them to be stable for a week or two. After a week or two, we see some glitches here and there, though the application doesn't change much. This is one feature which I want Automation Anywhere to work on: Increasing stability."
"The queries are weak and lack advanced functionality. You can do rudimentary queries, but you can't aggregate. You can't filter for a lot of things that would be useful, so you need to use plugins to write writing advanced queries. I run into problems when working with different organizations because they always have restrictions on what kind of plugins they allow."
"I am not familiar if there's an integration with Visual Studio from Jira."
"I don't think the program is very scalable. It lacks scaling capabilities from the performance perspective and load balancing and some other infrastructure capabilities."
"The main issue with this solution is there's no limited subscription available for plugins we only use for a few people. If we only have a team of twenty using a plugin, we still have to purchase a subscription for the whole 200 users."
"It is pretty complex to move between the test environment and the production environment. There is potential for improvement."
"It should be easier to log in."
"I would like to see improvement in the ability to filter completed tasks."
"The biggest issue is not being able to display linked issues and that makes scalability painful as far as the customer experience goes, and weighs down the system with more tickets."
"One area where I believe there's room for improvement in the 4me system is the absence of an asset discovery tool."
"We're still biased towards our previous, more mature product. 4me still needs to reach that level of maturity."
"We would like to be able to customize and brand the solution, or at least the majority of its features and dashboards, particularly those that will be used by a large number of people."
"Asset Discovery is a feature that should be added."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Yearly, our licensing costs are about $90,000 to $100,000. There will be additional licensing costs when we add more Bot Runners to our infrastructure."
"Licensing costs range from $50,000 to $200,000."
"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."
"We were paying approximately $30,000 for a year license."
"Their overall pricing falls in the middle of the market. Cost-wise, Automation Anywhere is quite expensive because of their analytics, IQ Bots, and MetaBots. For a standalone machine, the pricing is okay. When adding in the licensing for IQ Bots (or MetaBots), it can become quite costly."
"IQ Bots are very costly. It's not a sustainable bot for us as of now. We will look for better, alternate options for that."
"Their licensing processes are in par with most industry standards."
"We save approximately 10,000 hours per year."
"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."
"I price of JIRA Service Management is reasonable."
"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."
"Jira Service Management has affordable license fees. It's $12 a month per person."
"It is one of the premium products on the market, but it is very costly, especially in the Indian market."
"It costs around $150 to $200 per user."
"On a scale of one to five, with one being really high and five being good, I would rate the price of this solution as a four."
"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."
"The pricing is expensive."
"It is the most affordable because it is priced per month per user."
"This pricing falls on the lower end of the spectrum, making it a cost-effective option."
"The licensing costs on the website are about $60 for pay-as-you-go. And then it decreases based on volume discounts or something."
