Venkat Sivaprakash

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.

Significant asset management capabilities boost IT efficiency and support proactive monitoring

A positive aspect of Lansweeper is that they maintain a 30-minute recurring schedule with us for feedback. I have mentioned to the Lansweeper team that I would appreciate a clear separation between computers joined to our on-premise domain and those joined to the Microsoft Entra directory, as this distinction is currently difficult to make. In terms of reporting and knowledge, Lansweeper completely fulfills our needs. The software installation capability is being phased out as they now have the cloud version app, where this ability and Actions have been removed. My experience is primarily with Windows systems in Lansweeper, but it also supports Mac systems. We are currently adding Macs to scanning, though functionality is somewhat limited compared to Windows. It scans servers too, though this isn't the primary focus. Regarding network scanning, there are some security considerations due to specific service or port requirements on switches. For Windows needs in terms of asset management, report creation, and detailed information visibility, it is an excellent product. Building reports is straightforward, and while the database is quite extensive and may require research depending on needs, the information is readily available.

User-friendly modules impress with customization options while IT knowledge base updates remain incomplete

It's a vast product, and we use ManageEngine IT Asset Management because it has an Ops Manager, Event Viewer, Site 24/7, PAM360, and AD Manager among many options that we plan to explore in the future environment. ManageEngine IT Asset Management explores detailed aspects such as RAM frequency, RAM brand, product, expiry date, users, roles, technicians, groups, support groups, Active Directory, SAML, single sign-on, LDAP, Microsoft Entra ID, proxy settings, and template forms. We are satisfied with the product because each module is user-friendly, and we can customize it based on our organization's requirements. We are looking into the automated IT asset discovery feature. We have configured the incoming and outgoing mail server so that when users send an email to our standardized mail ID, it automatically creates a ticket. In the future, we will explore automation features such as SLA, KPI, and KRA to align targets, manage resources, assess project utilization, and assign tickets based on priority levels.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"AA has indirectly helped in re-engineering processes, which has made them more robust and efficient, and this has helped the business immensely."

"The Excel operations are very good."

"The features of Automation Anywhere improve my company by making deployment and maintenance of our automations a smoother process overall."

"The integrations with the OCR engines in Automation Anywhere are quite powerful, and they have helped us in many projects."

"The features like IQ Bot and Metabot have helped our organization to gain business trust and provide a greater number of unique solutions to our clients for complex projects."

"Automation Anywhere has positively impacted my organization by providing a lot of hours and dollars saved for many business teams across the company, and it helps spark ideas for people to look at their own business processes and learn how to automate them from end to end."

"Automation Anywhere saves time and money."

"In one of the use cases, we used to have around 300 tickets per month which has been reduced to almost zero now."

More Automation Anywhere pros

"The most valuable feature of Lansweeper is IT asset management. In the realm of cybersecurity, having knowledge of what is on the network is critical. We are able to conduct reports and see the assets we have. Initially, the solution required a machine on the local network to scan everything, but it has evolved to include agents that can report to a device, and more recently, an agent that can send data to the cloud even if the device is outside of the network. This has proven to be especially useful during the pandemic, as it has allowed us to keep track of devices that have been sent home with employees."

"Its functionality is very solid. The best part about it is that, when you have issues in getting information back from nodes, it tells you what the issue is, and you can quickly go to the specific nodes and respond to or repair those. There is an agent option, but to me, as a small business, the preference is to avoid agents where possible because you probably don't have the staff to keep up with them all."

"The solution has an excellent health status feature and a user-friendly interface that contains all necessary information."

"The best feature of Lansweeper is the discovery; it is really automatic and straightforward to install and use."

"For a small business that has an administrator or a couple of administrators that need tons of information in a central location, and that has some compliance people that have to run reports and are not necessarily power users, it is a great product."

"Lansweeper is very easy to use, and its technical support is very good."

"The most valuable feature of Lansweeper is that it can gather all the devices online and offline and generate proper IT assets."

"The solution is easy to deploy, easy to use, and scalable, whether for 1,000 devices or 1,000,000 devices."

More Lansweeper pros

"ManageEngine IT Asset Management helps with guarantee and warranty period management, license expiration tracking, device patches, and integration with our finance system for depreciation and invoicing."

"The most valuable component of the ITSM tool is the help desk due to its organized way of raising tickets."

"It's very smart. I use it with minimal adjustments needed."

"The ability to define custom templates for asset management helps track assets, budgets, warranties, and expiries effectively."

"We are satisfied with the product because each module is user-friendly, and we can customize it based on our organization's requirements."

"The auto-discovery feature has helped us a lot."

"In my opinion, it is the MDM; patch management and deployment are the valuable features."

"As far as IT Asset Management is concerned, I would rate it at ten out of ten."

More ManageEngine IT Asset Management pros

Cons

"They do not include the basic functionality of column headers in Excel worksheets. This is missing, and we need it."

"Automation Anywhere can be improved in certain areas specified in the cognitive zone where the information needs better OCR Engine + Machine Learning capabilities. Also, they can improve on the System Identified region function of the IQ Bot - Our team faced a tough time in handling that as we were not able to assign variable to System Identified Region as the IQ Bot tool wasn't allowing it."

"Some things that I do not see as of today are interactive chat or video interface."

"Integrations should be included with the analytics platforms and third-party SAP, enterprise-level applications, as well as if there are any built-in connectors where you can connect with the ERPs to automate the required teams."

"They can further improve the AI. It is already at a certain level, but it can be improved."

"We would like to have a better debugging facility."

"Sometimes I get challenges with the customer support team; when I contact them, they are sometimes busy, and I get delays in replies."

"Currently, there are some vulnerabilities in security that need attention in Automation Anywhere."

More Automation Anywhere cons

"I don't have any complaints about it, and I've never really had any issues. It isn't wizard-driven or anything like that, but it doesn't need to be. For someone who is not familiar with system administration, it would be daunting. There would be a lot of info there. They wouldn't necessarily know what to do, but that's not its target audience. For its target audience, in particular, it doesn't need to change. It is really a good tool."

"I think they should come up with an end-to-end asset management tool."

"The feature to deploy software in endpoints needs to be improved."

"I did not use the ITSM tools aspect, which connects to a CMDB, because that was not how I utilized the BMC tool, so I do not have an opinion on how it could be improved."

"It would be great if Lansweeper could combine security functions like vulnerability management."

"We're trying to use it for the help desk, but that's not exactly its strong suit."

"The support experience hasn't been satisfactory. Establishing a direct connection with someone is challenging, as communication is limited to chat or forums through a web link. There's a lack of direct interaction with support personnel, making it difficult to have real-time conversations or seek immediate assistance, which is not ideal."

"It would be beneficial if the solution could show more account-related information, beyond just the main Active Directory user account, and include management capabilities for other account types."

More Lansweeper cons

"It would be helpful if there were a premium technician license that includes all the suites, eliminating the need to buy separate licenses for each feature."

"The assets that can be discovered are pretty easy to manage, but there should be a better way to manage non-discoverable assets. Our development team works on bots and tests particular hardware. They have got different varieties of hardware. They want a feature for managing these assets within a warehouse kind of environment. For example, our IT has received 100 items, and they have assigned these items as a bulk unit to a project manager. The project manager further wants to distribute these items within his or her team. Instead of maintaining a separate Excel sheet, the project manager should be able to reallocate these items from within the tool so that we have hierarchical entities for the same unit."

"I hope it includes barcode features, as barcode scanning and MacAdes cannot currently be mapped with this field."

"I would love to see a digital adoption feature or guide that navigates first-time users through the application, as it is quite complex with many relevant and irrelevant elements."

"The asset management tool is costly compared to other tools in the market."

"The engineering area needs improvement."

"Responses from ManageEngine should be faster."

"It requires some development to be better, more comfortable, and usable, enhancing customer satisfaction."

More ManageEngine IT Asset Management cons

Pricing and Cost Advice

"I don't know exactly what the pricing schemes are for the product as this type of negotiation is not my responsibility, but I think the basic pricing comes to $15,000."

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

"I feel the cost of licensing is very high for the A2019 version."

"Automation Anywhere is flexible in terms of costing and licensing."

"This is a comprehensive automation offering with a scalable architecture and flexible pricing models."

"Our annual licensing costs for the entire company are $100,000."

"We have saved a lot of money on taxes based on the stuff that we run."

"From my experience, I can say that the initial setup cost is easily recovered over a period of time once the bots start running in production."

More Automation Anywhere pricing and cost advice

"It is not high and it is fair according to the worth it offers."

"Its cost is terrific. It has a great price and is cost-effective, and the license is free under a hundred nodes. I like the fact that it gets regular updates. Of course, it notifies you of the product and you can patch it and all that, but I like the fact that it is very affordable for the number of nodes. A company with three or four computers doesn't need it, but a company that has dozens or hundreds has to have some kind of governance. It can do everything such as Windows, Linux, and network devices, and the discovery is really intelligent. For example, you'd find smart devices, IOTs, and things like that. I'm very happy with it."

"On a scale from one to ten, where one is cheap, and ten is expensive, I rate Lansweeper's pricing a seven out of ten."

"The Lansweeper's price has increased and is now on par with or even higher than competitors, it still offers significant value in the area of IT asset management."

"It actually costs some money in the long run because of the licensing model."

"Its price is reasonable, but I wish it was lower."
