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.

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

"The best features of Automation Anywhere include the user interface, which is quite easy to use now compared to its previous versions that were more difficult, and all code is visible during coding, showing what is going ahead and what follows in the code, which is not available in other RPA tools such as UiPath, making it a standout feature."

"The saving of efforts within my project has been to the tune of 20% as of now and I am sure that it will improve as we explore the tool more and automate many more processes."

"Document automation has notably reduced manual effort."

"There has been a great return on investment."

"Before switching to the cloud version of Automation Anywhere, I worked with v10 and v10, so I appreciate the core functionality and the fact that it's a low-code solution. That is one of the key elements that differentiates Automation Anywhere from other platforms and one of the reasons we have been able to achieve success."

"Unattended use is its most valuable feature."

"It has improved a lot. We could identify a lot of manual processes that can be automated for our customers. The scope of automation by using Automation Anywhere has become wonderful. IQ Bot and AI sense are the incredible features provided."

"Object Cloning is the most valuable feature I have found for automating a website or a process that includes multiple mouse clicks."

More Automation Anywhere pros

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

"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."

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

"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."

"What I appreciate best about Lansweeper is the scanning itself, as setting up scanning was relatively easy, and the reporting was comprehensive with numerous different reporting options, including a feature for creating your own reports."

"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."

"Lansweeper is performing exceptionally; as soon as it detects something on the network, it immediately adds it to Lansweeper, and the connection between the endpoint and the server is doing a really good job."

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

More Lansweeper pros

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

"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."

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

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

"The technical support is great."

"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."

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

More ManageEngine IT Asset Management pros

Cons

"I would like to see a comment feature that allows you to embed comments/notes into an action sidebar, without having to actually take up a line of code in order to write such a statement."

"Apart from the Chrome issue, which took them maybe a week to fix, we lost a lot of processes during that time, but it just happens unfortunately."

"Its pricing definitely needs to be more competitive. When licensing costs are high, we cannot use this tool for automation."

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

"A2019 is less stable than the previous versions."

"In the debugging mode, it writes all the logs to text files, but it doesn't ever clean them up."

"I would like to have the ability to schedule bots by whichever one is available."

"Their bot runners could be made to handle multiple payloads at the same time because if I want to run multiple parallel operations, the number of bot runners that I have to buy just keeps increasing. It is adding to the cost. However, there is a possibility that we don't need that many bot runners, and we can run multiple operations in a bot runner. This would be a great addition to have."

More Automation Anywhere cons

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

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

"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."

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

"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."

"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 disadvantages in comparison to other products are in the ITSM part and the CMDB."

More Lansweeper cons

"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."

"However, the issue is that the knowledge base often shows information for older versions such as versions 12, 13, or 11, while we are working with ManageEngine IT Asset Management 15.1."

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

"Responses from ManageEngine should be faster."

"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 engineering area needs improvement."

"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."

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

More ManageEngine IT Asset Management cons

Pricing and Cost Advice

"When I started working on it, it was difficult to obtain a trial version (barrier to entry). Now, they have a Community Edition, which may make it easy to get started."

"There are a lot of savings in terms of effort and time as well as costs. Automation Anywhere automates a lot of processes. It allows an organization to save the efforts of a lot people. It saves a lot of time because people can't work a whole day (24/7), but Automation Anywhere bots can."

"The cloud-based version comes at an increased cost, although our clients are happy with the new features and have not complained about the pricing."

"It is one of the most affordable RPA solutions, and as for licensing, they offer a community edition that greatly helps anyone who aspires to learn about the product before buying the enterprise solution."

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

"Considering the cost, it is a bit high, but worth the price because the output accuracy is high."

"It is not cheap, with costs ranging between 700 to 800 dollars per month. While Power Automate is cheaper at 15 dollars per month, Automation Anywhere offers superior features, user-friendliness, and smoothness."

"The pricing is a bit higher."

More Automation Anywhere pricing and cost advice

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

"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."

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