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

"From a technical perspective, developers can easily create bots and get things done with this tool."

"With Automation Anywhere you can read and extract CSV data easily. You don't need multiple commands to read it."

"Automation Anywhere stands out because it has brought productivity to the organization, improved customer service, accelerated business growth, and allowed for faster innovation."

"The tool is a huge time saver. If I want to do something manually, it will take half an hour, but the bot can do the task within minute or seconds. In a day, month, or year, this will be a huge amount of time for me. A reduction to a fraction of seconds will be a big impact."

"It helps increase productivity by 20% to 30%."

"We have already seen ROI, and we are already clocking in around 7000 hours of savings per month in terms of productivity."

"From the second year onward, ROI is achieved, which is a great thing because year-over-year you are accruing those benefits."

"In 2018, we looked at some other products on the market, but Automation Anywhere was a perfect fit. We didn't have any issues that Automation Anywhere couldn't solve. The critical factor for us was its ease of use. We liked the drag-and-drop interface and the low-code capabilities."

More Automation Anywhere pros

"The ManageEngine ServiceDesk Plus SaaS model helped us because it was easy on our pockets but also easy to use, configure, and manage."

"It has saved us downtime for project upgrades and saved time for the IT team not having to run around and manually install software."

"ManageEngine ServiceDesk Plus is definitely worth it; we have seen a return on our investment."

"The solution is interactive and flexible so engineers find it much easier to work with than other tools."

"ManageEngine ServiceDesk Plus has positively impacted our organization, particularly in customer satisfaction."

"The management of this application is good."

"I have been impressed by how easy it is to operate and how easy the structure is to manage service tickets. If they request an incident problem train, it's a very strong model. Another strong feature in the tool is the CMDB."

"ServiceDesk Plus helps eliminate confusion of what hardware, software, and users are impacted during a DR or scheduled maintenance."

More ManageEngine ServiceDesk Plus pros

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

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

Cons

"The price has room for improvement."

"Automation Anywhere has a lot of room for improvement. It is not customer-friendly."

"For my organization specifically, the challenge is with Automation Anywhere upgradation. We have more than 100 bots that were developed five years ago."

"Currently, Automation Anywhere's debugging functionality is minimal."

"Regarding my experience with the pricing, setup cost, and licensing of Automation Anywhere, I have some concerns about the product licensing model."

"Some NLP AI is required to work in combination with RPA, especially for reading unstructured emails."

"It is good for standard procedures with an SOP. For those, it works well. But there are processes that are tricky and need human intervention and intelligence. In those cases, the process gets stuck."

"There should be more available Data Analytics and more AI Front and Deep Learn concepts."

More Automation Anywhere cons

"I would like to see a clearer distinction between ManageEngine Cloud, ServiceDesk Plus, and ManageEngine Enterprise. That way, choosing the best one is better informed. Initially, I struggled to understand the difference, but I figured it out later."

"ManageEngine ServiceDesk Plus moves changes to the production directly. We need a local touch in support."

"I think asset management took a hit recently."

"The solution, overall, is expensive."

"We have experienced issues with tables, sheets and columns not displaying properly. This is temporarily fixed with updates but then reoccurs. The way tickets are displayed is messy."

"Its reporting could be improved."

"I expected more features than it has. The flexibility is missing. I also was expecting a different level of configuration and segregation."

"I would also like to see better integration with external software. It is possible, but it is tough. The APIs are not very flexible, so you really have to write a lot of code to create that integration. Opening it up for external integration would allow for easier customization of the existing autobox workflows. It would help with the user's perception."

More ManageEngine ServiceDesk Plus cons

"Asset management aspects of the solution need work."

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

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Automation Anywhere falls within a mid-range price point when compared to other RPA tools on the market."

"Costs savings have been seen by employing bots for multiple shifts instead of people."

"Cost is the biggest area in need of improvement for Automation Anywhere. Annually it's $250,000. That's what deterred us right away."

"The cost for scalability is much cheaper than developing a new system."

"I do not know the price, but I am told that it is cheaper than UiPath."

"No one is balking at the cost. They are market rates and will change, but no one is saying, "That is ridiculous or impossible." They are saying, "Show me the ROI and prove that the cost is accurate.""

"AA comes at a more affordable price than the other tools."

"I am not responsible for the pricing part, but I know the pricing is competitive compared to other tools."

More Automation Anywhere pricing and cost advice

"It is not an expensive solution."

"As compared to a lot of systems out there, it is more affordable."

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

"Its price is very lucrative. It would be great if the price can come down, but overall, its price is great. It is half or maybe one-third of the price of other market leaders."

"The price is much better than other products so pricing is rated an eight out of ten."

"For our 500 assets that are using the professional version of the solution, we pay somewhere between $4,000 and $5,000 per year."

"It is above average. But it is neither cheap nor expensive."

"The only issue for us is the pricing, which is quite high in comparison with the competition."

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.

Service Management: ITIL v4-aligned service desk covering request, incident, problem, change, release, project, and knowledge management, with AI-driven ticket routing based on skills, workload, and availability.

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.
