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

Junior 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

"The dashboards are excellent."

"Scalability is one of the best things about most of the RPA bots. Once you create one, scalability is just about multiplying them."

"Automation Anywhere is very easy to use; it's a low-code platform that a person who doesn't have any technical knowledge can use."

"By automating processes we give back valuable hours to business stakeholders, which can be spent on value-adding activities instead of repetitive tasks."

"It frees individuals up from mundane tasks so they can concentrate on being more active and creative other things that they need to do."

"The initial deployment is not difficult at all for someone doing it for the first time."

"It is very easy to use and learn compared to a programming language, where you have to have a background in coding. Anyone can learn it. Learning the software is easy."

"I would rate Automation Anywhere a nine out of ten."

More Automation Anywhere 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."

"ServiceNow was the first true enterprise to service management platform."

"Go for it."

"ServiceNow has helped to streamline the processes with other groups and brought them all together."

"The area where we have benefited a lot is that, initially, it was very difficult to have end-to-end visibility into what was happening, and we were able to establish that with ServiceNow."

"It has the ability to consolidate different areas of the service desk into one solution."

"The flexibility of the product in regards to configuring and customizing it to meet the company needs within a few clicks."

"ServiceNow gives us a lot for free: workflows, organizational structures, service portal, forms, reporting, disaster recovery, and so on."

"As an end user, I would rate it a seven out of ten."

More ServiceNow pros

Cons

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

"I have noticed that after the bots have been delivered to run in a production environment, there are issues in terms of quality and performance."

"Sometimes, in Automation Anywhere, the recording process takes longer when capturing tasks on websites or applications, and there can be internal errors."

"This solution could be more stable because sometimes I see some bugs."

"Automation Anywhere could improve by better integrating with DevOps. Currently, it cannot be integrated 100% with DevOps methodology, which many companies are requiring."

"The areas that need improvement are the license management, user access permission, user role access management, and technical support."

"Regarding the UI, once you're in some of the screens there are fixed dialogues. They are a set size, so there's a lot of horizontal scrolls and vertical scrolls."

"They will need much more support, because it is a new thing and it’ll never fail because of productive partners. It will fail if people on the “gemba” don’t adopt it."

More Automation Anywhere 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."

"When we are using the solution on mobile phones on their networks the performance is reduced with a delay of approximately 8 seconds. There is less delay using the desktop computers connected to the WiFi or to the network directly."

"We would like to have an Asset Management and/or Project Management feature enabled in this version and in the IT Service Management edition."

"I would say there is a lot of room for improvement when it comes to technical support."

"I would say there had been times where it's taking a long time for a resolution."

"For me, there's a real opportunity, especially within the IT Service Management suite, to give a much better overall view of the workflow that individuals have across the different applications. At the moment, a lot of information is quite siloed in the different tables in ServiceNow."

"The product’s standard user experience is not the best."

"We don't have a huge amount of password reset requests, but the minimum package of resets that ServiceNow offers is much more than we need."

"Their user interface is old-fashioned and outdated, and it can be more friendly for the eye. They can improve the user experience."

More ServiceNow cons

Pricing and Cost Advice

"It's justified because we have saved quite a bit of money at the company and many manual hours. Overall, it justifies the cost."

"The pricing and licensing of Automation Anywhere plays an important rule in the Indian market because in the Indian market $10,000 USD is too much. Hence, the pricing tends to go down depending on the customer relationship with the partner: A starter pack is $10,000 and an enterprise pack is $100,000. If you go through an implementation partner, you can get good deals. They can save some money."

"The pricing is a bit higher."

"We generally follow the Gain-Sharing Pricing model, which enables the customer to start getting the RPA benefits right from day one of their implementation."

"Our advice is that anybody interested in this product should negotiate product bundles in order to reduce the cost of installation and setup."

"Licensing costs range from $50,000 to $200,000."

"Cost-wise, it is fine. A lot of medium businesses prefer Automation Anywhere. The development cost is also lower."

"The licensing needs to be made simpler or shortened."

Information not available

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

"The solution is expensive."

"The price of this solution is expensive."

"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 CapEx version is great."

"The pricing is on the high side, but if you look at the stability and option to work, it's kind of justified."

"In Tunisia, the companies find the licensing costs to be expensive."

"I rate the solution's pricing a six out of ten. The pricing for ServiceNow is based on a SaaS platform with annual contracts. However, it may not offer much flexibility for adjusting usage in the short term."

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.

Motadata ServiceOps is used across manufacturing, BFSI, government, healthcare, telecom, and education, and extends beyond IT into HR, facilities, and finance through enterprise service management.
