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.

Platform excels across departments but requires more focus on integration and IT management features
Kaseya's focus is on something else and is not aligned to the business model we are into, and the enhancements which we are expecting are not happening on their platform or their products. The enhancements are very limited. Multi-tenancy was lacking in Kaseya Vorex. Tenancy was not 100% there in Kaseya Vorex. The IT Asset Management feature was very limited. The Service Desk was also limited because it is not a full-fledged ITSM; it was a professional service automation platform. Integrated communication tools were somewhat lacking in Kaseya. Multi-channel collaboration integrations were not there. The Service Desk was not in complete compliance with the ITIL framework.

Cloud storage with no hardware needed and great comprehensive reports
The software is cloud-based, so I do not need to store any data locally. It is a fully software-based solution, eliminating the need for investment in hardware. We have the capability to create reports as needed. It is good software to use, as there were no incidents where I needed to contact technical support. Additionally, it is free software.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"My company uses AA extensively for internal BPO work as well as we refer and deploy it to the customer as a RPaaS model, helping increase productivity, reduce overall operational costs, and deliver fewer errors while proving to be a reliable workhorse during the COVID situation."
"It has been able to save us time in our processes from hours to minutes."
"The process to add licenses has been very straightforward and seamless."
"It is very easy for anybody to learn."
"From a developer perspective, the user interface is user-friendly and easy to use."
"I have in fact told all my friends and colleagues who are in the RPA domain to work with Automation Anywhere because it's easier to run as well as to implement."
"The CyberArk integration and setup are really amazing and it helps us to win deals for new projects."
"One of the most valuable features is the error handler, as this command has helped me design bots that can handle multiple errors and exceptions."
"The platform's most valuable feature is the ability to produce daily summary reports."
"Kaseya Vorex is a comprehensive platform with a service desk, project module, CRM, and a complete finance model with auto billing."
"The nice thing about Spiceworks is always it's free."
"Spiceworks was the best product per our testing, and was recommended by other IT professionals at the time."
"It shows the users that are currently logged in, which is not something that Active Directory by default will ever let you know up front."
"Considering the fact that this is a free product, all you can get from this software is improvement in the way your organization operates and how your clients perceive you."
"Customer Service: Over 10/10 as the user network is incredibly active."
"If you need a help desk, just do it."
"This product is definitely a great start for a ticketing system at an organization, particular for small to medium size teams."
"I can tell you it works well and is stable."
 

Cons

"The tools are fundamentally solid. However, when I think of self-healing, such as automation with a new prompt or a new Windows patch occurring, being able to handle those kinds of things on top of what Automation Anywhere already does and that automatically click through and do the reboots that are necessary to just have a clean run would be ideal."
"From an IT perspective, we had too many issues and headaches."
"I think the pricing model should be more flexible."
"There have been problems with scalability. It comes down to how we handle the code."
"I would like to see more complex use cases coming out for our industry."
"Cost is the biggest area in need of improvement for Automation Anywhere. Annually it's $250,000."
"I have seen that the South American support is not as good as it should be."
"They need to improve the OCR engine which is not up to the market."
"Kaseya's focus is on something else and is not aligned to the business model we are into, and the enhancements which we are expecting are not happening on their platform or their products."
"Kaseya Vorex's customization features could be better."
"The ticketing system could be more robust, more like a service desk."
"Only issue was with scalability. After some time, as the back-end DB grew bigger, the solution started to perform slower."
"On larger networks, performance can be slow."
"The only issue encountered was setting up the email server information."
"The devices keep showing offline in the dashboard, but when we check it, it's already online."
"The social and collaborative tools, such as integration to LYNC, Yammer, or equivalents."
"Most problems are the system bugs and slowness, also because the product has a web interface that makes a lot of problems like refreshing and information loss."
"Since Spiceworks is a free tool, it's not very scriptable or customizable."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"While calculating the setup cost you should account for the server, virtual machines, product licenses, maintenance costs, and running costs."
"It's an ideal pricing model to customize the components based on everyone's needs."
"They sell it by license, but if they could charge by case or by interaction, that might be better. Right now, it's expensive when you want to scale or use them for simple processes."
"There is an annual subscription for Automation Anywhere."
"The product’s pricing is reasonable."
"I am not responsible for the pricing part, but I know the pricing is competitive compared to other tools."
"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."
"The solution is costly and the licensing is very confusing."
Information not available
"The tool is cheap."
"It's free."
"Seeing that it is a low-cost solution, I would advise you to go ahead with Spiceworks and experiment with it to see if you can get things working properly, especially if you currently don't have any existing service desk software in place."
"The product is free! Get it now."
"It might be about $300 annually for a bigger company. If you pay annually, it's better and cheaper."
