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.

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.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"We automated these processes so they will be processed automatically, and users will get the end result for validation—it is basically time-saving for them."
"It has improved the efficiency and reliability of the data in the systems."
"For a tool that can be fun to use and make people's job better on day one, that is the most valuable feature."
"The biggest benefit of Automation Anywhere is that it makes our processes error-free. Accuracy is how you build efficiency within the system and increase productivity."
"It is easy to use and very scalable."
"We have used support a few times for one of our customers, and they respond quickly. If the issue involves a critical production system, they respond to the request on the same day."
"From a technical perspective, developers can easily create bots and get things done with this tool."
"Be it a Windows application, a web application, or a legacy tool, Automation Anywhere is able to achieve automation on these technologies seamlessly."
"We can use it for remote monitoring, and it also works great as a troubleshooting tool. We are able to open up a command line or a PowerShell session remotely without having to disrupt the user. They have a limited network device monitoring capability, but for workstation servers, we have the event logs. We can do performance monitoring, system changes, software deployment, and patch management. We can also push scripts. It has a very simple web interface. There are no additional things to do there. Security is also pretty good. It does the same things that the other competitor's tools do. One of the advantages of Ninja is that they have a more capable mobile app, which allows you to see the alerts immediately. I get alerted to major critical issues."
"NinjaOne is a great product. It is working and it is always developing."
"It just works as advertised and serves the purpose for which we got it."
"The most relevant feature is the monitoring, which provides built-in tools for sending commands."
"NinjaOne saves me time and improves my troubleshooting process by providing information automatically so I don't have to search for it."
"NinjaOne has a feature where we can create custom scripts that we can run on devices remotely."
"The installation is easy, it only took two minutes."
"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."
"If you are looking for an affordable solution for your business but want all the features of something you would expect to pay highly for, choose Vision Helpdesk! Trust me - you won't look back!"
"Vision Helpdesk has a very small price but has many functions, and compared with others their price is 3-5x lower for similar functionality."
"Customer service has been one of the best for any software provider we have seen; any issue we had was solved quickly."
 

Cons

"When I change the name of a variable in the Variable Manager, I would really like it to change in the code."
"It should be easier to use."
"Automation Anywhere says that you can use this tool for any type of application, but there are some for which it is not compatible."
"Automation Anywhere can improve process mining."
"I feel the tool has to provide deeper insights for debugging issues, considering both internal and external factors."
"It still uses old, deprecated Microsoft components that have an end date."
"It does not easily integrate with customized solutions."
"I would like OCR for video and text using the IQ Bot. It should also be available in an email tag format."
"The ticketing system in NinjaOne is not the best."
"Customer support is active and proactive, but not reachable 24/7, which is an issue."
"The solution could improve by optimizing the internet connection being used."
"Lacks sufficient integrations with other PSAs."
"The one feature that I believe needs improvement is the software patching."
"NinjaOne's pricing and user interface needs improvement."
"NinjaOne can be improved by making mobile usage on the system cheaper because it becomes an expensive commodity."
"NinjaOne's dashboard could be easier to use."
"Their live-chat support needs work."
"I think I'd like to see a more user-friendly interface in the user-ticket view."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"IQ Bots are very costly. It's not a sustainable bot for us as of now. We will look for better, alternate options for that."
"The product’s pricing is reasonable."
"It's cheapest among the competition, although bargaining is a must."
"The Automation Anywhere license is affordable and not complex."
"We save 34,000 hours of time per year and have recouped up to $6000 in lost revenue."
"Our annual licensing costs for the entire company are $100,000."
"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."
"NinjaRMM uses a subscription model."
"The product's pricing depends on the number of PCs or devices."
"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."
"I rate the solution’s pricing a five out of ten, where one is the lowest and ten is the most expensive."
"We currently pay $1.20 per device on a monthly basis."
"NinjaOne is a little expensive but is still cheaper than competitors like Acronis or Veeam."
"NinjaOne's price is fine since my workplace is an educational institution, so we get the product at a really good price considering that we do not pay taxes, making the prices very fair and worth the product."
"Its pricing is great."
