Nadeem K. - PeerSpot reviewer
Rpa Developer at a consultancy with 11-50 employees
Automation has freed teams from repetitive finance and supply tasks and supports global operations
In the current organization, we had trouble initially because I think the documentation and support could be better than what it is now. This is one difference between Automation Anywhere and other RPA tools such as UiPath. In UiPath, if you have an issue, you go to the UiPath website and search for it, and you get lots of help materials. In Automation Anywhere, you do not get exactly what you are looking for. You get a very large number of results when you search for something, and from this large result set, you have to filter out what you need, or only partial information will be available. User handbooks are available for each product. In that regard, I would say Automation Anywhere is lagging compared to other RPA tools. It is difficult to get hold of their customer support team. I want to clarify that it is not a matter of us building logic on Automation Anywhere and it failing. When it is a product-related issue, they have to give us support because we only know how to develop within Automation Anywhere. We do not know how to fix Automation Anywhere itself. Whenever we have an issue, trying to get in touch with them always takes three to four business days.
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.
Umair Akhlaque - PeerSpot reviewer
Enterprise Solutions & Services Head at Duroob Technology
A fairly stable solution that’s highly mature, but has a poor user interface
The solution does not align as modern service solutions do. Seamless integration is no available among the processes. Their service management application needs a lot of work. It’s in a really bad state right now. They brought on a new interface that clumped all the processes and features of the solution into one. Still, it’s not really compatible with other solutions. Because of this, its rating has dropped in Gardner. The solution needs to improve its reporting features. The user interface needs a lot of improvements. The product needs to implement a cloud platform solution, which is lacking so far. Their workflow engine is still segregated. It’s not embedded. If you need to do some workflow approvals, you cannot do them directly on the service desk. You have to go into Outlook and do an approval or you have to go in through another screen to handle the approval because the workflow engine they have is a separate product.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The benefits include a reduction in tedious tasks and manual handling of tasks and time savings."
"I like all of the features, especially the MetaBot, REST API, and SAP DLL."
"Automation Co-pilot has improved my productivity a lot, and I think it has increased by 60% in terms of the tasks that I put forth when I log in and log out, and all the tasks will be done quickly."
"We're finding time savings as a benefit. One example would be a customer service rep who might get a question about an order, and it's usually through email. It can take a good three to seven business days to answer a customer's question about their order. When we automate it, it takes hours, if not minutes."
"They've now included the code so we can add some additional code, and that's good."
"The solution has removed humans making errors while increasing our time savings, and we now have a lot more efficiencies in our process."
"IQ Bot is a valuable feature. It processes unstructured data to structured data. It helps me by making tasks less time consuming. It reduces the effort it takes versus manually."
"Overall, I would rate Automation Anywhere a nine out of ten."
"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."
"The best feature of LiveChat in my evaluation is the AI chatbot module that I prefer most."
"We can attribute most of our high ticket sales to this software."
"It truly does what I need it to do and anything else I would say, I would be making it up."
"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."
"Through the capabilities of LiveChat we are able to fully customise each live chat implementation to suit the goals of our clients."
"The ability to add Additional Information Screens on the fly."
"It's quite a complete entry into the SaaS ITSM market with a reasonable price point."
"CA Technologies support is excellent."
"It provides us with a very easy and flexible UI for CA Nimsoft Service Desk 7."
"This is the best product for Large Infrastructure companies/organizations to monitor their infrastructures/servers etc."
"The solution is a highly mature product, and because of this, it can stand up to any other product on the market."
"Improved the effectiveness of my Service Desk Team and improved the SLA timing."
"Using the self-service functionalities we have been able to eliminate a lot of the support phone calls, and actually reduce a lot of our help desk staff."
 

Cons

"The product needs to catch up to the promise of known technology and apply more intelligent behaviors concerning AI or unstructured learning."
"In the next release of this solution, I would like to see a plug-and-play tool for NLP programming."
"Integration with other platforms may prove to be very interesting for us and others."
"Off the top of my head, I cannot think of anything that they would need to improve on, but there are probably opportunities to explore some potential use cases where maybe there is a feature that is not yet available. We can discover and pioneer something together."
"We would like to be able to directly implement automation for Word documents and XML."
"With the user interface, a lot of the parts of it I really like, but there are some things that could be made a little simpler. A little less clicking around here and dragging over there to use."
"It takes a lot of time to deploy, and sometimes it fails after a timeout."
"I would like to see GitHub or GitLab integration in the next version."
"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."
"We have been seeing a little bit of latency here and there, but we haven't been able to identify it."
"I think they could update some of the interface. It doesn't look as pretty as some of the other ones."
"Flexibility to customize."
"Their service management application needs a lot of work."
"Importing data with relations is difficult and could be better."
"Few probes need improvement in their function and the way they get deployed for monitoring."
"The deployment was very difficult to handle. It's an unnecessarily difficult process that requires third-party assistance to do correctly."
"We had a lot of issues with non-Windows servers during implementation."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"From my experience, I can say that the initial setup cost is easily recovered over a period of time once the bots start running in production."
"We have reduced our headcount, approximately 200 to 300 employees, by eliminating manual, repetitive work. It provides profit to the business."
"It is fantastic. It has been great. It is perfectly priced for the quality received. When paying for quality, that is exactly what you get."
"We just did a round of price comparison on a global scale and found it's so hard to compare the license prices. But, Automation Anywhere, in general, is on the same price level as the other vendors, a bit lower in some cases."
"I am not sure about the costs, but two Bot Runners and four Bot Creators may cost approximately 1CR."
"The cost of Automation Anywhere is high in Turkey due to the weak economy."
"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."
"I have heard that Automation Anywhere is expensive."
