Venkat Sivaprakash - PeerSpot reviewer
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.
Vikas Kejriwal - PeerSpot reviewer
Engineering Manager at a comms service provider with 11-50 employees
Clean chat interface has supported basic AI handoffs but now needs omnichannel and a free plan
LiveChat did not support omnichannel messaging or multi-channel inbox, and it was not offering any free plan. These limitations made me switch to another solution. I believe LiveChat should support at least a basic free plan so that potential customers can try out their features before paying for the full suite.

Management Consultant at a tech services company with 501-1,000 employees
Along with functionalities like chat and web messaging, the tool also offers a great UI and good technical support
During the peak times last year, my company observed some downtime in the solution, which had become common with LivePerson. LivePerson couldn't handle the volume our company was getting. Right now, our company doesn't have any issues with LivePerson, but during peak times, LivePerson can improve themselves and be capable enough to support their agents. From the point of view of a customer support agent, the last time I checked LivePerson, our company's customers could not send videos through the platform. The inability of our company's customers to send videos through LivePerson could be related to something that the customers are working on in their IT environment. There is nothing that I can suggest any new features to be added to the solution right now.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"It saves a lot of effort and hours. It is time-efficient and cost-efficient."
"The robust and flexible nature of the product gives it the capability to automate almost all rule-based processes in each and every ERP application that is currently available in the market."
"From the customer's perspective, the biggest benefits are automation of the security and monitoring systems."
"Automation Anywhere provides the best feature to make a software bot for processes."
"Automation Anywhere is fully configurable."
"IQ Bot is very helpful as it is easy to learn and implement and the data output accuracy is almost 90%."
"What I appreciate most about Automation Anywhere is the ease of use. Everything is easy to set up. I also appreciate the extensibility that it has."
"It is easy to fix bug issues which you encounter in the post-production process."
"Customer Service: Top notch! The support team is available all the time and have been able to solve all our questions instantly."
"It truly does what I need it to do and anything else I would say, I would be making it up."
"We can attribute most of our high ticket sales to this software."
"Through the capabilities of LiveChat we are able to fully customise each live chat implementation to suit the goals of our clients."
"I majorly love the ticket and knowledge base features, which allow us to save automated answers to the most popular customer queries."
"In my experience, the best features LiveChat offers include a clean interface, robust analytics, and the ability to provide human-to-human website chat."
"Since we started to use LC we managed to increase our customer satisfaction level, increase sales and most important thing to speed up our interaction with our customers because it's all in real time."
"The best feature of LiveChat in my evaluation is the AI chatbot module that I prefer most."
"The auto feature where if there are five chats and one of them goes down or a customer leaves the conversation, a new chat automatically pops up with the next customer available on the line is valuable."
"LivePerson has been really useful for us. For example, there are several features, such as predefined content and rating information, that are more client-oriented."
"For customer engagement, you can rely on LivePerson; LivePerson is the best tool for any company."
"LivePerson's technical support team is good since they are quick to solve the issues we face with the platform in our company."
 

Cons

"This solution should be more user-friendly so that our clients can take a bot that we have developed for them, and then run it by themselves."
"We noticed slowness in a few of the commands like Object Cloning, Web Recorders, etc. on which Automation Anywhere can work to make it more robust. There are improvements required in the WLM solution provided by AA, which can make it a more robust queuing system and the system should retry by itself in case of failure due to system error."
"There's potential for Automation Anywhere to integrate conversational types of tools and AI into their tool set, which would be really valuable."
"On the document automation side, the document learning features are not as robust as one would expect them to be. When I am doing document automation and a document fails due to low confidence in populating a field, it requires manual correction."
"Triggers work in the attended mode on Automation Anywhere. I would love it if we could use triggers in the unattended mode too. This way we can use the feature more in our IT sector. E.g., when any service or folder is accessed by unauthorized person, we want to be able to get an immediate trigger, even on "out of office", this would be helpful for my organization."
"It still uses old, deprecated Microsoft components that have an end date."
"Getting the bot design into the developer's hands is taking longer than we initially anticipated."
"We would like to have a better debugging facility."
"The biggest friction point I have experienced with LiveChat so far is the lack of a free plan."
"LiveChat did not support omnichannel messaging or multi-channel inbox, and it was not offering any free plan."
"The service needs to be more popular than it currently is."
"There have been times where Live Chat's servers have had DDOS attacks and have made communication difficult."
"I'd like to be able to create teams and filter the reports by team, in addition to the ability to currently filter by group, date, agent, tag etc."
"During the peak times last year, my company observed some downtime in the solution, which had become common with LivePerson."
"In my current organization, we have faced the problem of not having very detailed instructions. For example, if you need to integrate this application with SSO, you need to enter some specific information. Unfortunately, we weren't able to find detailed instructions on what exactly needs to be entered in the specified fields."
"They should add an auto-correction tool. If we are writing the wrong word, it should show or type the right word that we want to convey to the customer. This feature is currently not available."
"They need to upgrade its user interface."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"No one is balking at the cost. They are market rates and will change, but no one is saying, "That is ridiculous or impossible." They are saying, "Show me the ROI and prove that the cost is accurate.""
"Considering the cost, it is a bit high, but worth the price because the output accuracy is high."
"Approximately, for a developer, it is around $750 for a license a year. For Bot Runners, it is about $550."
"The cost is anywhere between $10,000 and $100,000."
"The cost of this solution is a little bit high, but it is worth the price."
"Automation Anywhere has an advantage in terms of licensing. It is more cost-efficient compared to all other RPA platforms. It is a recommended solution when clients need a cost-efficient automation tool to perform unattended automation."
"When you compare the cost of Automation Anywhere with UiPath and Blue Prism, those others are much less. Licensing-wise, UiPath wins the deal."
"There is an annual subscription for Automation Anywhere."
Information not available
"I am not aware of the pricing, but I have seen it not only being used in India. It is also being used in a lot of other countries such as the Philippines and Jamaica. So, I would assume that it is affordable."
