Automation Anywhere

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.

Assistant Vice President, Tech Solutions at LPL Financials

Has simplified remote software delivery and script management but needs improved reporting flexibility and better Mac support

NinjaOne's best features include ease of use regarding enablement and deployment, a broad selection and ability of software enablement, and API deliveries. Using CrowdStrike, we are able to tie in NinjaOne's API to have these automatically deliver to endpoints upon addition of those devices to a group with that policy deployed to it. NinjaOne has positively impacted our organization by making delivery easier for our end users and improving the ability to create scripts, manage scripts, and check status of devices and their compliance. This easier delivery with NinjaOne gives us oversight on devices without having to be on the call or remoted in directly to a device.

Todd Blake

Senior IT Specialist at a healthcare company with 11-50 employees

A solution that streamlines ticket creation for the staff members of a business and enables efficient issue resolution by the IT team

SysAid is similar to Nintex AssureSign. Some of the back-end configurations of the solution are very difficult. So, we always need SysAid's help. Also, there are almost too many features that we are not taking advantage of in our company since we don't even know about them. A little bit of a streamlining or simplification of the main features would be a good improvement. I would like to see SysAid present its solution more easily. There is a lot in the solution, and it is more than what we need in our company.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"Automation Co-Pilot helped increase productivity."

"We needed scalability and the ability to perform 10,000 or 1,000 or 200 tasks at any moment. No other software that we have had could provide such scalability and is built in a modular way."

"I utilize all the commands provided by Automation Anywhere, such as all the recorders. I use these commands to develop my processes and bots."

"This solution allows us to more fully automate our clients' specific tools."

"Most of the features are valuable."

"The graphical user interface (GUI) is very useful, since I don't know any coding languages. I have been able to be a developer with Automation Anywhere without knowing the technical background. I am a business user, and not needing the technical knowledge to use the system has been useful for me."

"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."

"We reduce the time that scientists spend on manual tasks and put them on more value-added work."

More Automation Anywhere pros

"NinjaOne has positively impacted my organization by providing an easier way to deploy machines, manage them, troubleshoot, and assist people."

"The best features NinjaOne offers are that I can see every device across the network regardless of location, and it is fantastic at being able to really control everything we have."

"It just works as advertised and serves the purpose for which we got it."

"NinjaOne saves me time and improves my troubleshooting process by providing information automatically so I don't have to search for it."

"If you're looking for a simple and cost-effective remote management tool, NinjaRMM is a good choice."

"NinjaOne's best feature is its monitoring."

"The solution's most valuable feature is related to its remote access...I know that NinjaOne's technical support is good."

"NinjaOne helped us address our user complaints regarding the system as well as providing us the ability to push software updates directly from NinjaOne to the user's device."

More NinjaOne pros

"Overall the administrative side does save you costs in terms of resources and time."

"It tracks everything that the technicians are doing. We can account for time and manage resources."

"The solution can scale."

"It's really customizable. It's very user-friendly to change very quickly. We've developed lots of custom forms and things, without any need for thousands of accounting consultants which was one of our main aims of it."

"I would say the overall flexibility of the product is its most valuable feature."

"The service desk automation and orchestration are very good. We are implementing it at the moment. We implemented it for two of our applications already for our CRM. Whenever there's a change in the CRM, it will automate them into SysAid as well. We have two workflows from our CRM into SysAid, which is very helpful. Overall, we're very happy with the workflow."

"The only way we could have managed that growth was by having an application like SysAid."

"It's supporting the daily routine of the IT organization, it is the ticketing system, and it's very helpful due to the fact that it provides us with full evidence and full transparency for what we are working on."

More SysAid pros

Cons

"The pricing is a little bit high compared with other tools."

"Automation Anywhere can be improved by integrating self-correction capabilities into the bots, particularly as we develop RPA, where changes in environment paths require additional redeveloping efforts."

"It would be nice to have the IQ Bots integrated with the Enterprise Edition without requiring extra licenses. That would be great."

"A standardized improvement area for any RPA tool is making it more user-friendly. This can be done by allowing users to give instructions in their language. For example, one should be able to say in his or her language to automate the login page of the XYZ application. It should be able to create a flow based on the information or screenshots that the user provides."

"The availability of material in terms of more technical documentation could be improved, particularly in-depth information about how things can be done."

"Working with the Automation Anywhere servers and domains have proven to be difficult. We are trying to get more licenses and servers set up, so we can run multiple scenarios simultaneously."

"I would like more with OCR and data capture."

"The main request I have for Automation Anywhere is to focus more on technical demonstrations."

More Automation Anywhere cons

"The remote connectivity could be better. It works most of the time, but sometimes, there are issues."

"To improve NinjaOne, there should be better integration between multiple different software including Cisco and Meraki."

"Improvements could be made to reduce NinjaOne's functionalities to focus more on inventory or remote help tools."

"The ability to not have a NinjaOne agent or multiple NinjaOne agents on a singular device is a big pain point for the device, and secondly, the macOS support is also what keeps it from being a higher score."

"One area where I think NinjaOne could improve is in reporting and customization."

"NinjaOne's dashboard could be easier to use."

"The network monitoring needs to be improved."

"NinjaOne's reporting module is cumbersome."

More NinjaOne cons

"This means the facilities people can see every ticket that is in the support queue, which is not great."

"One of the features that I'm hoping comes at some point is that currently you can only have one Knowledge Base instance within it."

"The only thing that I would like to see is for them to improve asset management so that it's more usable."

"The administrative side of the user interface could be a little more user-friendly. It is easier for me to export our reports into Excel, then do a server retrieval and get the information. Whereas, to do a report, you have to go through a configuration type of process, which is kind of difficult and complicated. I have been using this solution for two years now and I still haven't gotten the hang of the reports."

"The automation needs improvement. The workflow has some improvements to do."

"The automation needs improvement. The workflow has some improvements to do. There's some stuff that they are working on like having cascaded fields. For example, we're categorizing tickets by location, by site and by building and then by data room within a data center. At the moment they're all separate fields."

"The administrative side of the user interface could be a little more user-friendly."

"SysAid has fewer AI features compared to other tools."

More SysAid cons

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The product starts at $10,000 and then it's up to you regarding how much you can consume."

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

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

"If I compare it with Blue Prism, Automation Anywhere is cheaper. Blue Prism is very costly. Automation Anywhere's pricing follows the market, not less and not more."

"The cost of this solution is a little bit high, but it is worth the price."

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

"We save approximately 10,000 hours per year."

"It is affordable for us."

More Automation Anywhere pricing and cost advice

"NinjaOne is a little expensive but is still cheaper than competitors like Acronis or Veeam."

"We got a pretty good deal. It was fairly affordable."

"NinjaRMM uses a subscription model."

"The product's pricing depends on the number of PCs or devices."

"The pricing is reasonable and cheaper than ConnectWise."

"We currently pay $1.20 per device on a monthly basis."

"I rate the solution’s pricing a five out of ten, where one is the lowest and ten is the most expensive."

"It roughly costs $400 a month. It provides a good value because of the number of tools that you get in the solution. I would rate it a four out of five in terms of pricing. There are no additional costs other than the standard licensing fees."

More NinjaOne pricing and cost advice

"Overall, the price is good. It's all about what you get for the base amount. From my perspective, you want to look at what you're getting out-of-the-box. SysAid does a good job of putting key stuff in the box for you."

"Once you're interested, talk with SysAid. You can have them come in and look at your company and advise you on the best solution. They will tell you what comes with each separate package and also advise you what application to activate. If you want something that they don't have, they have a department that can design something based on your unique requests."

"The pricing of SysAid is less than its competitors."

"We saw our investment back at the end of year one."

"Though I am not really sure about SysAid's prices, I know that it is competitive compared to some of the other products that our company looked at, like ConnectWise and ServiceNow."

"SysAid is a good solution, especially from a pricing perspective."
