Featured Reviews

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.

Good monitoring and alerting capability, and it is easy to deploy

This solution is good for configuration management. The monitoring capability is easy to use and it can be done without any training. ManageEngine is easy to deploy. It is easy to identify and collect information from all of the nodes on the network. The alerting capability is good and it will send out emails.

Ajay Paul

System Engineer at a outsourcing company with 10,001+ employees

Vulnerability management has prioritized high‑risk patching and simplified bulk system reporting

The primary issue is with the reporting functionality. Even though we fix vulnerabilities, the reports do not reflect the changes immediately. Sometimes we need to manually run a script to scan the systems before Qualys Enterprise TruRisk Management will update the scan results. The main issue is the reporting delay, and sometimes the Qualys Enterprise TruRisk Management agent will not scan the system, which means we do not receive accurate reports in a timely manner. Additionally, there are many metrics for calculating vulnerabilities, such as the Qualys ID, severity scores, CVSS scores, and other metrics. The abundance of information can be confusing. These two aspects are the most significant negatives I have experienced with this tool.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"None of the commands are unique to Automation Anywhere, which allows beginners to leverage external knowledge."

"Our developers love it. It is fairly simple to use. Sometimes, we are able to even bring people on fairly quickly, like interns, and have them use the software. Then, we are able to see some real benefit out of it fairly quickly."

"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."

"Comparing to other products in the market, we are getting all the features in hundred percent quality with what the objective needs to be met by other products, and that is also delivered in Automation Anywhere."

"The most valuable feature is its Excel integration."

"The speed of the delivery is its most valuable feature."

"We have increased our productivity by five times as of now, and we are still growing."

"In one of the use cases, we used to have around 300 tickets per month which has been reduced to almost zero now."

More Automation Anywhere pros

"Customer Service: Absolutely fantastic."

"It is easy to identify and collect information from all of the nodes on the network."

"The technical support is good."

"All I know is that when it comes to managing the active directory, ManageEngine is something I consider to be the best."

"The monitoring capability is easy to use and it can be done without any training."

"The product helps users stay on top of gaining insight into the active directory, permissions and security sets, and user group policy changes."

"The primary use case of this solution is to manage and to protect the web servers, the mail server, and the website in my company."

"I would suggest you use this product as it's easy for administration, and is based on distributed model support."

"The product's patch management is excellent for keeping our critical servers and third-party applications updated efficiently."

"I find the solution's dashboard interesting...The response time is fine. You can pull up reports without dragging or consuming bandwidth."

"The most valuable feature is the QID part, especially of CentralList, which makes it easy to assess new critical vulnerabilities."

"Qualys is a very good tool for companies, and the different tools this brand offers bring all the necessary tools for good development for these companies."

"Risk-based prioritization is a new feature with Qualys Enterprise TruRisk Management, and overall, the vulnerability posture of our organization has improved significantly."

"Qualys Enterprise TruRisk Management is a very good software application to scan each and every vulnerability and, through that, it prevents the attackers from exploiting the systems, servers, or our data and prevents data leaks in short."

"Almost all of the features are great."

"The solution is easy to use."

More Qualys Exposure Management pros

Cons

"Although Automation Anywhere is a GUI-based platform with drag-and-drop functionality, non-technical business users struggle to implement it due to the complexities of operationalizing automation within a business context."

"Pricing with respect to the competitors is more."

"IQ Bot is bad and needs a lot of tweaking."

"I would like to see more bots available right out-of-the-box in the SAP area."

"There are occasional bugs in the system but technical support is quick to address them and deliver solutions, patches, and upgrades."

"We would like to have more ease of use for the operations team."

"I would like to use VB.NET native code inside of Automation Anywhere."

"As a developer or user, I feel that the performance of the overall package could be made a little better or reliable. For example, if I'm opening up a heavy Excel file, which is uploaded in some shared drive over the net, and I have my box coded to open that Excel to do some work or formatting on it, and depending on the network load and the size of the file, this client version while trying to access that file becomes unstable at times. It goes into the hang position until a human being comes in, ends the task, and restarts it. Until this happens, it does not respond."

More Automation Anywhere cons

"We would like to have support for integration with ServiceDesk."

"The product could use more intelligence, automation and general availability of product information."

"The GUI could be improved."

"This is because of the lack of available technical knowledge in terms of competence and maximizing the power of the product."

"ManageEngine needs to fix the downtime scheduler for SNMP monitored devices. Alarms are still generated for the devices placed into scheduled maintenance."

"The ManageEngine features could improve to show graphs of the traffic and network utility."

"I would like to see this solution more developed and competitive in the Cloud space."

"Qualys VMDR is basically susceptible to false positives, and false negatives."

"Integration could be better. When you think about scanning, it's not used just with this product alone but with other Qualys products. If you think about the bundle, the product itself is good. But integration with other products and packages has space for improvement. They should also offer a better price for bundles."

"Qualys VM could improve by having more skilled support personnel."

"The solution is a bit expensive if you do not have access to discounts."

"The main issue is the reporting delay, and sometimes the Qualys Enterprise TruRisk Management agent will not scan the system, which means we do not receive accurate reports in a timely manner."

"Improve the API speed."

"One of the biggest issues from the clients' perspective is that all Qualys computing is on the cloud."

More Qualys Exposure Management cons

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The setup cost depends on multiple factors, so you need to get details before choosing."

"Overall, the pricing of Automation Anywhere is good."

"It's cheaper than other similar solutions."

"I would rate the price of Automation Anywhere a six out of ten, with ten being the most expensive."

"I think the solution's pricing is reasonable."

"Whatever investment, licensing, and resource costs together are put in for development and delivery, we are still at an ROI of 250 percent."

"In most of the cases, the product value is very good. If the infrastructure, implementation, and framework are good, then generally, the client can get a good return on investment."

"Yearly, our licensing costs are about $90,000 to $100,000. There will be additional licensing costs when we add more Bot Runners to our infrastructure."

Information not available
