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.

Helpful smart automation and tracking that can be used with minimal adjustments

This is a recording system, and it's an automation system. It's very smart. I use it with minimal adjustments needed. The focus is on test management. Everything can be tracked from asset management. Asset management offers many facilities. It doesn't require additional training for ManageEngine or technicians. Assets are simply reported from the dashboard, indicating where IT is missing, where compliance is mentioned, or where action is needed, with driver updates. All facilities are available in the enterprise edition, allowing users, customers, or any organization to easily obtain their referred insights. Anyone can easily install it. There are no handbells. An app provides instructions, with documentation available. Sometimes, IT issues arise like fraud blocking or service-related problems. Upon facing an issue, feedback is integrated, and the solution is provided from their end. This is a very IT-friendly solution. We get LiveSat and IT management. Facilities are accessible, like exporting the installation folder, making the migration process easy. Failover or redundancy can occur within two to five hours, making it scalable. This is a very stable solution.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"Document automation has impacted efficiency and productivity because initially, we tried training the module on multiple unstructured documents, which resulted in less efficiency, but over time, we have trained with multiple documents, and it is now achieving great accuracy."

"The solution is easy to learn and with it, it's easy to replicate knowledge."

"It's really easy to use. We have a number of people at our firm who are now certified RPA developers that had no development background. They did that just by the online training in some cases. In some cases, it was the online training, as well as a three day class that we brought in-house and had taught."

"Automation Anywhere offers the capability of integrating the DLL files with meta bot and hence the developer can use DLL files to connect to applications likes outlook, SAP, etc"

"It is easy to automate SAP by using Cloning and Metabot."

"So far, the experience with Automation Anywhere in the last two and a half years has been wonderful."

"AA helped us to reduce the processing time of requests almost instantly."

"The ROI is very good because the output is very accurate and the speed is very fast."

More Automation Anywhere pros

"For Windows needs in terms of asset management, report creation, and detailed information visibility, it is an excellent product."

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

"The benefits I have seen from using Lansweeper at the infrastructure level include licensing and optimization, the cost reduction and elimination of redundant tools reduced our needs, and this was particularly evident in the most recent project."

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

"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."

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

"The use of Teams for EdgeScript agent and agentless scanning of devices within our network proves valuable."

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

More Lansweeper pros

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

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

"This is a very stable solution."

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

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

"It is a great product, and we are very satisfied with the features."

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

"The technical support is great."

More ManageEngine IT Asset Management pros

Cons

"From my experience, for a normal automation-related task, Automation Anywhere is a good tool, but currently the world is moving toward AI, Gen-AI, and code-based agents; I feel that Automation Anywhere is lagging behind in the AI realm."

"Technical support needs to be worked on as the turnaround time can be around a week, even though we are just using the solution on a pilot basis. We are working in real-time with realistic data. While the process of a logging a ticket is good, the process from logging a ticket to closure needs faster support time."

"Having better documentation that is more openly available would help. Often, it feels necessary to contact someone or search for documentation that is stored behind a login or in another location. It would be beneficial to have one centralized place for everything."

"The solution could improve the integration with some web applications. It was difficult to manage them."

"There are a few features that we would love to have: running on the cloud, running on Linux, out of the box integration availability with larger ecosystems like Salesforce, Workday, or Microsoft."

"If you are not on-premise, then you will need to have Citrix automation."

"Debugging can be particularly tricky; identifying the exact reasons for bot failures can be time-consuming."

"In Automation Anywhere, the logging process is manual."

More Automation Anywhere cons

"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."

"For example, Lansweeper can scan 7-Zip version 7.2, but when a new version 7.3 comes out, Lansweeper shows it as new software, requiring us to manually add this software to the whitelist or change it in reports; it should be counted as the previous version."

"In Vietnam, there's no Lansweeper office, making it difficult to find the right vendor to get the license."

"We would greatly benefit from the ability to continue software installations and assistance with Windows updates, focusing more on action-oriented features."

"In Lansweeper, reporting has some glitches. Reporting needs to be more customized as per customer requirements."

"With Lansweeper, some areas can be improved, such as the interfaces and legacy user interface elements."

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

More Lansweeper cons

"The engineering area needs improvement."

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

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

"Currently, we are having some challenges in managing assets. We are still managing them in Excel sheets and keeping a track of them outside the system."

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

"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."

"Responses from ManageEngine should be faster."

"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."

More ManageEngine IT Asset Management cons

Pricing and Cost Advice

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

"It's cheapest among the competition, although bargaining is a must."

"The pricing is reasonable and one can achieve ROI faster when compared to other tools."

"In most of the cases, the product value is very good. If the infrastructure, implementation, and framework are good, then generally, the client can get a good return on investment."

"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."

"Automation Anywhere pricing and licensing are competitive compared to the other automation vendors."

"They're very flexible around pricing and licensing."

"The pricing of AA is similar to UiPath."

More Automation Anywhere pricing and cost advice

"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 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."

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

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