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.

Automation has transformed daily request handling and now tracks every customer interaction

ManageEngine ServiceDesk Plus helps my team manage and resolve requests compared to previous methods as we previously managed things through paperwork and diaries. After deploying ManageEngine ServiceDesk Plus, whenever any customer request comes, we provide the customer a product demo if they ask about the products. We then convert that request to a lead, which is converted to a demo, and then to the product POC, allowing us to follow up every stage of the requests. Everything can be tracked from ManageEngine ServiceDesk Plus, whether at the closing stage or the initial stage. I use ManageEngine ServiceDesk Plus daily in a unique way because previously everyone managed their own tracking system through their diary, but now everyone inputs data into this solution so that at the end of the day, we can get reports on how many leads we have taken care of and when they need to be taken care of. This information is visible from the ServiceDesk tool, and using the dashboard, we can easily identify it, providing an at-a-glance view. The best features ManageEngine ServiceDesk Plus offers for my team include automating manual tasks, which allows whatever tasks we previously did manually to be converted into automatic tasks. Currently, they have also introduced Zia, a very helpful solution for us. Using Zia, we can search for anything, not only inside the tool but also outside, integrating it with ChatGPT and Teams, and it can integrate with other ManageEngine solutions as well as solutions such as Jira and ServiceNow. When we integrate our network monitoring solutions with ManageEngine ServiceDesk Plus, it automatically raises an incident ticket and assigns it to the right team whenever any incident has occurred, which saves us time and reduces manual tasks. Previously, we had to communicate to the right people through mail or phone calls after an incident, but now the incidents are automatically converted and assigned to the relevant support groups along with the SLA. The integration with Teams allows us to raise tickets without logging into the portal, and we can see the ticket status and add comments through Teams, which is very helpful. Additionally, mail integration can automatically convert emails into tickets, adding further efficiency. ManageEngine ServiceDesk Plus has positively impacted our organization, particularly in customer satisfaction. Previously, customers managed service requests, incidents, changes, and problems manually, but after integration, most of these processes are automated. This includes change requests that now follow a workflow based on organizational needs and ITIL best practices, making tracking incidents and requests much easier for end customers through scheduled reports.

Responsive technical support and an easy initial setup but needs better asset management

We found the initial setup to be surprisingly straightforward. It's not overly complex and difficult, and the ease of setup is a great selling point. We started to do it on our own as it was so straightforward. There is a beginner's guide on their website which you can use. It's a very good toolbox and very useful. Basically, all you need to do is start up your virtual machine inside or outside, put in some passwords, and run one or two commands as directed and it's up and ready to go. The only thing that may take a while is the configuration process. Otherwise, the deployment is relatively fast. In about two weeks it's completely done. We have two or three people involved in the maintenance aspect of the product

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The advantage of Automation Anywhere is that you don't necessarily have to come from a programming background."

"We have saved time and money using the solution."

"It has helped us look at how our processes are organized."

"The data capture feature is very valuable. I know there are also some elements where you have to be able to incorporate AI, but I haven't gotten to that level yet."

"It has saved us a lot of hours, manual effort, and we can focus on more important tasks, which helps us with our ROI."

"The IQ Bot is unique. It is not available in another RPA tool that I am aware of, like UiPath or Blue Prism. IQ Bot converts unstructured data to structured data."

"This product makes my life easier."

"It is very user-friendly. Nobody has to sit down and work on coding. We have a drag and drop option where anybody can understand it."

More Automation Anywhere pros

"I rate the solution a ten out of ten for scalability."

"We have been able to track issues, get metrics of the technical staff."

"Overall, I've been satisfied with the product."

"Overall this is an easy and convenient solution to use."

"The most valuable feature is its ease of use."

"While I see the normal features of a ticketing system in ManageEngine ServiceDesk Plus, a good workflow engine is definitely present."

"The tool is easily configurable and we can make any changes ourselves whenever we want."

"CMDB as a baseline, incident management, service request management, and license management are valuable features."

More ManageEngine ServiceDesk Plus pros

"The documentation for beginners is easily available online and very useful."

"Due to this product, we've been able to improve our IT services and how we work."

Cons

"The local support in Brazil could improve. While it has gotten better in the last few months, we've struggled as a global company trying to contact them sometimes."

"The scalability of Automation Anywhere's cloud version is excellent, but the on-premise version is a waste of time and money."

"The areas in which the product and service must be improved are in the government sector and ministries such as the Ministry of Education and Health."

"What we currently have with Fortress IQ needs to mature more, and I say this since people spend weeks creating PDDs documentation."

"Integrations should be included with the analytics platforms and third-party SAP, enterprise-level applications, as well as if there are any built-in connectors where you can connect with the ERPs to automate the required teams."

"We would like Automation Anywhere to have a way to run a capacity check on machines and show us what is available."

"One day, there will be a message box saying that the application is down or not available on a weekend. The instructions will say read the information and click, "Okay." But a bot doesn't understand the instructions because it is not the IQ system."

"Scaling from small to medium automation works well, but if building out very big applications, sometimes the code can be too lengthy and uncontrollable."

More Automation Anywhere cons

"Some of the features which are currently available in the cloud version can be made available with the on-premise editions."

"The timing reporting module, and how it's used is a bit difficult to understand."

"ManageEngine ServiceDesk Plus could improve by offering a user-friendly environment similar to ServiceNow."

"When I think of improvements the first thing that comes to mind would have to be the active management function."

"We'd like to have more integration into other platforms."

"They need to be more reactive. They play around the bush to get some time to provide you a proper solution."

"New features may be introduced as add-ons, which could require additional payments from users to access these new functionalities."

"It is sometimes a bit slow. If it can have a quicker response time, it would be good for users, service desk engineers, and technicians. For service requests, they don't have an SLA for each priority. For a service request, the SLA of response or resolution is only one irrespective of the priority. SLA should be different for each priority. For a ticket, there is no response SLA for the service request. For resolution SLA, that is, P1, P2, P3, or whatever you define, you still have the same SLA. It should be different."

More ManageEngine ServiceDesk Plus cons

"We have noticed that sometimes we have a delay in action on technical support issues due to time differences."

"Asset management aspects of the solution need work."

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The cost is high for small-scale businesses but it is fine for medium and large enterprises. Its high licensing cost may affect small-scale businesses. Reducing licensing costs would benefit many users."

"Automation Anywhere is expensive, making it more suitable for enterprise organizations."

"We have seen ROI on one of the process, but not on the other processes yet."

"This solution costs approximately $3,500 USD per license."

"We are not receiving the right information about their features, e.g. Automation Anywhere University, or anything that they are selling. They need to improve their documentation."

"There may be room for the product to be more competitively priced to excel in the market."

"It is somewhere in the middle. The price and value of Automation Anywhere are better than UiPath. The pricing is good globally. It could be a little bit cheaper, but it is good."

"Their licensing processes are in par with most industry standards."

More Automation Anywhere pricing and cost advice

"The cost of licensing is approximately ten dollars per suite, per month. When scaling up, there are a lot of other expenses such as infrastructure, the telecommunication companies, etc."

"We use the cloud model, which is subscription-based, and each year, the subscription fees seem to go up, making it a more expensive solution."

"ManageEngine ServiceDesk Plus' pricing is reasonable."

"The licensing is around $10,000 per year."

"Pricing can always be improved and made more affordable."

"The tool's price is okay and in line with other products, maybe even cheaper than some products."

"ManageEngine ServiceDesk Plus is much cheaper than many of its competitors. We pay about nine dollars per agent and one dollar per device. There are no hidden costs."

"ManageEngine ServiceDesk Plus' price is very reasonable."

Motadata ServiceOps is an AI-enabled, ITIL v4-aligned IT service management platform that unifies the service desk, IT asset management, and patch and package management on a single product. It runs on Motadata's Deep Learning Framework for IT Operations (DFIT) and integrates natively with Motadata ObserveOps, so observability alerts can open and close tickets in one workflow.

ServiceOps is dual-certified: PinkVERIFY from Pink Elephant and PeopleCert ATV (ITIL 4 compliant across 12 practices). It deploys as SaaS, on-premises, private cloud, or public cloud, which suits regulated industries with data-residency needs. AI is built into every module rather than sold as an add-on, covering ticket routing, smart suggestions, and SLA automation. A 30-day free trial is available.

MSP Edition: Multi-tenant support for managing several entities or customers from one instance, with client isolation and branded self-service portals.

What should users look for in reviews for ROI?

Tool Consolidation: Check whether reviewers replaced separate service desk, asset, and patch tools with one platform, and what that did to total licensing cost.
Cost Against Enterprise Suites: A recurring theme in reviews is comparable ITSM capability at lower cost than large vendors. Look for reviewers who name the suite they switched from and the saving they saw.
Automation Impact: Look for reported ticket deflection through self-service and virtual agents, and faster resolution after AI-based routing.
Deployment and Compliance Fit: Assess how the on-premises and private-cloud options, audit trails, and dual ITIL certifications held up in regulated environments.
