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

"Automation Anywhere saves time and money."
"Automation Anywhere has provided the capability to automate repetitive tasks for the organization, which in turn has lead to a lot of cost-savings."
"In terms of development for our developers, it is very easy and quick to learn because Automation Anywhere has provided an online academy where developers can easily learn the features. It is very easy. If someone does not have a coding background, they can also learn from it very easily because it is just drag and drop and very interactive."
"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."
"Excel automation is especially helpful because a lot of small companies are still using Excel as their data storage."
"The Object Cloning command is the most useful feature. Through the use of this command, between 30% and 40% of the process automation is complete."
"Using Automation Anywhere has improved our company significantly, as we are doing over eight to 10,000 invoices a month, which people had to do before, while now the automated process is doing that without too much human intervention, saving probably about at least two to possibly three FTEs per week."
"Automation Anywhere is fully configurable."
"The best feature of LiveChat in my evaluation is the AI chatbot module that I prefer most."
"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."
"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."
"It truly does what I need it to do and anything else I would say, I would be making it up."
"Through the capabilities of LiveChat we are able to fully customise each live chat implementation to suit the goals of our clients."
"We can attribute most of our high ticket sales to this software."
"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."
"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."
"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

"Support is not very satisfactory."
"The license cost is high and needs improvement."
"Setting up Automation Anywhere is a bit complex."
"They can provide more features for desktop application automation. They don't have extensive capabilities for automating desktop applications."
"I would like more cognitive abilities, artificial intelligence, and machine learning."
"I would like them to add OCR features. This would help us deal with unstructured data and we can get more data out of images."
"The initial setup is difficult because Automation Anywhere does not have a GitHub integration. They need to build a patch for that."
"We have trouble with large volumes of data in Excel and are not getting good results."
"The service needs to be more popular than it currently is."
"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."
"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."
"There have been times where Live Chat's servers have had DDOS attacks and have made communication difficult."
"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."
"During the peak times last year, my company observed some downtime in the solution, which had become common with LivePerson."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Automation Anywhere is expensive, making it more suitable for enterprise organizations."
"The licensing cost of Automation Anywhere is better than UiPath and Blue Prism."
"Automation Anywhere's pricing is significantly higher than other RPA solutions."
"Pricing is too high for small-scale groups. The Control Room yearly fee is high, making it difficult to break even."
"I do not know the price, but I am told that it is cheaper than UiPath."
"We save approximately 10,000 hours per year."
"There are some additional costs beyond the standard licensing fees. There are a couple of add-ons we've looked at: The IQ Bot for OCR and machine-learning were add-ons, as well as the Bot Insights - the analytics."
"Licensing for Automation Anywhere (AA) is paid on a yearly basis. Out of all the RPA tools, it has the most value for money, e.g. what you pay is what you get."
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."
