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.

Technical Officer at a tech services company with 11-50 employees

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

Hemanthreddy Vakiti

Data engineer at a tech vendor with 10,001+ employees

Structured workflows have improved SLA compliance and now support prioritized incident handling

I think the licensing and pricing of ServiceNow is quite expensive compared to other tools. For large organizations, it is acceptable, but specifically for small and medium organizations to track incidents or change requests, ServiceNow is quite expensive. Sometimes performance can be slow when workflows and integrations are configured for complex tasks. For advanced customizations or advanced features which we rarely use, the documentation is not up to standard. The documentation needs to be improved for advanced customization features. However, the platform is stable overall and the features are quite good. The user experience and performance concerns I mentioned are areas I want to be improved. When many workflows and interactions are configured, performance is slow. For the features it is providing, it is quite expensive. If these performance features are improved, we can easily pay that price and get the return on investment.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"Automation Anywhere has helped me save both time and costs, with savings of approximately eight million in the last two to three years, and in terms of percentage, I saved around thirty to forty percent of time compared to before using Automation Anywhere."

"It is really helpful that this solution is deployed in the cloud."

"We have increased our productivity internally by using RPA with our employees who are completing the same tasks every day."

"IQ Bot is very helpful as it is easy to learn and implement and the data output accuracy is almost 90%."

"The saving of efforts within my project has been to the tune of 20% as of now and I am sure that it will improve as we explore the tool more and automate many more processes."

"The ability to build automation without coding is its most valuable feature."

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

"The best features in Automation Anywhere that I really appreciate are found in the basic module for pure RPA, such as the recorder function, which helps in making automation even easier; no coding is required, you are just doing things, and the recorder records your movements and actions, creating the code out of that."

More Automation Anywhere 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."

"Makes ticket information easy to access."

"Very easy to implement and to respond to my clients' needs."

"The main features of ServiceNow that I use are incident approval management and the ability to link all the information we receive from the finance bureau service."

"I recommend ServiceNow due to its stability and good security."

"I think the technical support is pretty good. They can be a little bit slow sometimes, but overall I think they're good."

"We're getting a good cost-efficiency."

"It enables us to meet SLAs, track issues across the environment, and report those issues."

"We could have chosen many different platforms but for lack of a better word, it was the easiest to be able to move to, taking all of our existing processes and data from different sources."

More ServiceNow pros

Cons

"When I post questions, I seldom get answers fast, and when I do, there are inconsistencies with the existing documentation."

"Improvements that can be made are: It should be easier to automate tasks on a virtual machine that uses a different environment altogether."

"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."

"The tools are fundamentally solid. However, when I think of self-healing, such as automation with a new prompt or a new Windows patch occurring, being able to handle those kinds of things on top of what Automation Anywhere already does and that automatically click through and do the reboots that are necessary to just have a clean run would be ideal."

"They have incorporated many latest technologies, such as AI, and there is always scope to improve the processes and have more stability."

"The improvements that we could see would be the increased stability of each A2019 releases and reduce the likely impact on existing features. We are also looking to see improvements in the upgrade and bot deployment processes to make them easier and less interaction with back end servers."

"I would like more with OCR and data capture. We are partnering with IBM to help bridge this gap, but Automation Anywhere should continue to expand on their product line and provide these capabilities, as well."

"Accuracy to process handwritten documents should be improved and more analytics and intelligence-related capabilities should be added."

More Automation Anywhere 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."

"They could improve license management, particularly when integrating different applications or toolsets."

"Before implementing this solution, you should have the ITSM model in place for change management requests. That is a prerequisite because you cannot perform tasks without it."

"The discovery of assets could be improved; right now they only allow for one domain."

"Calendar views - there are no nice calendar views and I think I'm just starting to learn about resource management but it would be nice for them to have the roadmaps so you can see an actual calendar view to see where, from a project, you are."

"This solution needs to be improved for global use."

"I know that discovery tools are not meant to be simple, but somehow, if they could make it more simple and robust, that would be great."

"Primary areas of inefficiencies and delays were related to change resistance and lack of support from the IT Team Lead and IT Manager level staff for involvement in ServiceNow design and training workshops, and lack of support for governing new process policies."

"I would say database or data visibility. In fact, I think for me, I'm going for the physical side, most of the people like to access data without any constraints."

More ServiceNow cons

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The licensing fees are approximately $10,000 USD for between five and ten users."

"Automation Anywhere University is pretty good. They make it available free for everyone."

"In terms of monetary savings, we automated a bot in three days that has saved us $30,000 in costs."

"As far as costs, it depends on your use. We started with a basic department pack, which is over 10K. The additional costs depend on the scale of the engagement and how it pans out. We customize to our needs on the go."

"The solution itself is free unless we want to add the support option but we have to pay for the bots we use."

"There is an annual subscription for Automation Anywhere."

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

"Approximately, for a developer, it is around $750 for a license a year. For Bot Runners, it is about $550."

Information not available

"The platform offers a free trial, by providing a free developer instance once you sign up."

"I have found the solution very expensive."

"I'm not aware of any additional costs. I'm pretty sure that the current client is paying just the licensing fee per user. I do know that they've got some support agreement with ServiceNow, but I don't think that is broken out or specific to Project Management. It is just inclusive."

"ServiceNow is a leader and its pricing is quite good, quite competitive... Sometimes some plugins are not priced reasonably but, generally, the platform itself, its modules, are priced reasonably."

"The pricing is reasonable and affordable, making it suitable for businesses ranging from small to large scale."

"I know that it's not too bad because people continue to use it and they are happy to renew up their contract."

"Isn't pricing always too much? We really do chafe at the ITIL licensing. ITOM is also pretty expensive."

"ServiceNow's pricing is comparatively higher than Helix's."

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.

What are the main modules in Motadata ServiceOps?

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.
IT Asset and Configuration Management: Full asset lifecycle from procurement to disposal for hardware, software, non-IT, and consumable assets, backed by a unified CMDB that maps configuration items and their dependencies.
Patch and Deployment Management: Automated patch discovery and deployment across Windows, macOS, and Linux, plus package and Windows registry deployment, with test-group rollout and approval workflows.
Agentic AI and Orchestration: AI classification, smart ticket assignment, and a workflow engine that automates approvals, notifications, and SLA actions across requests, problems, changes, and releases.
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.
