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

"We have some bots which are saving a week or month of multiple employees' times."

"The interface is a lot better than a lot of other tools which are out there."

"The ease of use for the end user and the very low complexity in trying to build a bot are the big factors for us."

"it helps to save time when doing processes. E.g., when you do a manual process for eight hours, that time is saved because the bot will do that task for you. The process owners will be able to do the analysis part. The repetitive/manual part will be done by the robot."

"Automation Anywhere has equipped us with amazing tools including Bot Insight, IQ Bot, Discovery Bot, etc."

"In human resources, we created several core SAP systems so that the basic users in human resources can reduce redundancies by 10 times with very little cost."

"This solution has gives us greater employee satisfaction because manual recurring work has been reduced."

"One of the features that we have used the most is an action in the Workbench called Object Cloning. We find that very reliable and very useful for implementing different business processes."

More Automation Anywhere pros

"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."

"Provides good reports from every asset."

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

"Lansweeper was hands down the best tool; it collects every last piece of information we wanted to know about our equipment and has strong reporting capabilities."

"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."

"A great value is the fact that it supports multiple platforms, and it is agentless. Obviously, it still requires credentials, but being agentless makes it much easier to deploy, especially for a small business. It leaves fewer things to maintain. Especially for a small or medium business, it is a tremendous product."

"It is very flexible and very powerful. The reporting scripts that are continually posted are a real benefit. It makes it easier for someone who is a consumer, but not necessarily a power user, to quickly create and run reports, get updates, and know what tasks need to be performed."

More Lansweeper pros

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

"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 technical support is great."

"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."

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

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

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

More ManageEngine IT Asset Management pros

Cons

"The key area where improvement can happen is understanding the different perspectives and different industries that they're serving in terms of industry-wise use cases."

"Regarding the UI, once you're on some of the screens there are fixed dialogues, they are a set size, so there's a lot of horizontal scrolls and vertical scrolls. If I want to do something that is purely business-related and is somewhat complex to write or is nuanced, I sometimes have trouble implementing that inside of the Automation Anywhere script."

"We encountered issues during the upgrade of the framework. We were using the older framework of version 10.3.5. When we were upgrading, we were having a few issues in terms of getting the proper hardware and software prerequisites. For some things, like getting the controls of some of the application's tools, we were getting Automation Anywhere's help."

"The integration in UiPath is much better. Automation Anywhere's latest version has improved. It's fine but not as good as UiPath."

"The regional distribution in Turkey can be improved."

"In the Microsoft Excel features, it needs a command to wait for a calculation to complete."

"As a solution, it could have been easier to use than in the current state."

"Web automation capability needs to be improved."

More Automation Anywhere cons

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

"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."

"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."

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

"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."

"The support is an area that could improve. The support staff could be more knowledgeable."

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

"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

"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."

"Responses from ManageEngine should be faster."

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

"The engineering area needs improvement."

"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."

"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 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."

Pricing and Cost Advice

"UiPath is exceptionally more expensive than Automation Anywhere. UiPath is far ahead of its competition, but in terms of finances, Automation Anywhere offers better value and is more effective for organizations seeking cost-effective solutions."

"In terms of monetary savings, we automated a bot in three days that has saved us $30,000 in costs."

"We are not receiving the right information about their features, e.g. Automation Anywhere University, or anything that they are selling. They need to improve their documentation."

"This solution costs approximately $3,500 USD per license."

"I am not responsible for the pricing part, but I know the pricing is competitive compared to other tools."

"If we talk about the automation RPA. it definitely has worked very well for us. I'm talking about giving good savings, about more than 180 FTE savings, after implementing more than 200 plus bots. It has worked well. As an organization, it has supported us very well, and also for our customers."

"The solution itself is free unless we want to add the support option but we have to pay for the bots we use."

"Regarding the price, licensing, and maintenance, Automation Anywhere provides its customers with its best and affordable value."

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."

"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."

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