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.

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.

Provides predefined content, the ability to measure KPIs, and a reliable way for customer conversations
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. It also monitors the KPIs such as your CSAT, your time of conversation, etc. All the KPIs are mentioned on the first row of the screen. This is the second feature that I love about LivePerson. It has some predefined content. You can click on that, and it will be sent to the customer. Instead of typing a complete statement, you can use this predefined content.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The most valuable feature is its easy to use."
"Automation Co-Pilot helped increase productivity."
"All the data that comes in has to be QC'd, and Automation Anywhere helps us by automating the QC part."
"We get positive feedback from the client regarding the processes that we have developed, as it saves a lot of their manual time and most of their work is done by the bot, without any human intervention."
"Automation Anywhere helped me achieve my automation goals as it reduced turnaround time, cost, human intervention, and increased overall satisfaction levels for our customers."
"Automation Anywhere has helped me save both time and costs, with savings of approximately eight million in the last two to three years, and in terms of percentage, I saved around thirty to forty percent of time compared to before using Automation Anywhere."
"Our experience with technical support at Automation Anywhere has been great. They have been very helpful, especially during the PoC, processes which are sort of early on in their sales cycle, or when we were just starting with Automation Anywhere a couple of years ago. We got great support for getting it onboarded in-house and getting our team up to speed. So, we have found it to be a great partnership."
"Overall, Automation Anywhere is a very user-friendly and easy-to-use tool, and if clients are looking to implement automation into their business, I would definitely recommend Automation Anywhere over other tools because it is well-suited for their purposes and can be easily utilized."
"Customer Service: Top notch! The support team is available all the time and have been able to solve all our questions instantly."
"In my experience, the best features LiveChat offers include a clean interface, robust analytics, and the ability to provide human-to-human website chat."
"I majorly love the ticket and knowledge base features, which allow us to save automated answers to the most popular customer queries."
"We can attribute most of our high ticket sales to this software."
"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."
"Through the capabilities of LiveChat we are able to fully customise each live chat implementation to suit the goals of our clients."
"It truly does what I need it to do and anything else I would say, I would be making it up."
"The best feature of LiveChat in my evaluation is the AI chatbot module that I prefer most."
"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."
"LivePerson's technical support team is good since they are quick to solve the issues we face with the platform in our company."
"For customer engagement, you can rely on LivePerson; LivePerson is the best tool for any company."
"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."
 

Cons

"We have been a little frustrated by the frequency of cache releases."
"With Oracle, Blue Prism was easier and a little bit more stable than Automation Anywhere. Even with ServiceNow, the automation was very unreliable. It did not work as expected."
"The interface is not intuitive for business users who are used to seeing the process on a flow chart, like a Visio workflow diagram. This may be because of the nature of the way the interface is structured and the way the functions are built in list type of format."
"We had initial hiccups, like any new process. It took us six to eight months to sort the product out."
"I just came to understand that there is a cloud attached to it. I would like to see how the cloud is going to work, because every application is coming out with a cloud version. If you are not on-premise, then you will need to have Citrix automation."
"Its licensing can become too expensive for a small startup company."
"More structured and unstructured data collection will be a challenge. While we have the IQ Bot tool, the success rate at the beginning will be lower. It will be around 20 to 30 percent at the start because you need to train the bot at regular intervals. Of course, this depends on the data. This area could use be improvement."
"Automation Anywhere should improve its OCR capabilities."
"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."
"There have been times where Live Chat's servers have had DDOS attacks and have made communication difficult."
"The service needs to be more popular than it currently is."
"LiveChat did not support omnichannel messaging or multi-channel inbox, and it was not offering any free plan."
"The biggest friction point I have experienced with LiveChat so far is the lack of a free plan."
"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."
"During the peak times last year, my company observed some downtime in the solution, which had become common with LivePerson."
"They need to upgrade its user interface."
"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."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The price for Automation Anywhere is reasonable."
"The pricing and licensing of Automation Anywhere plays an important rule in the Indian market because in the Indian market $10,000 USD is too much. Hence, the pricing tends to go down depending on the customer relationship with the partner: A starter pack is $10,000 and an enterprise pack is $100,000. If you go through an implementation partner, you can get good deals. They can save some money."
"They all are very competitive today. At the end of the day, it boils down to the negotiations that happen and what type of partner you are."
"Initially, they charged a premium, but now the rest of the vendors have increased their overall pricing and Automation Anywhere is not that high at this time. It's pretty viable."
"It is not too expensive, but there are many tools available in the market that can provide the same functionality at a cheaper price."
"Annual licensing costs would be about $100,000."
"Automation Anywhere offers a subscription-based licensing model for cloud, on-premises, and hybrid deployments."
"Our pricing a year ago was $600 per license."
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."
