Venkat Sivaprakash - PeerSpot reviewer
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.

System Engineer at a outsourcing company with 10,001+ employees
Vulnerability management has prioritized high‑risk patching and simplified bulk system reporting
The primary issue is with the reporting functionality. Even though we fix vulnerabilities, the reports do not reflect the changes immediately. Sometimes we need to manually run a script to scan the systems before Qualys Enterprise TruRisk Management will update the scan results. The main issue is the reporting delay, and sometimes the Qualys Enterprise TruRisk Management agent will not scan the system, which means we do not receive accurate reports in a timely manner. Additionally, there are many metrics for calculating vulnerabilities, such as the Qualys ID, severity scores, CVSS scores, and other metrics. The abundance of information can be confusing. These two aspects are the most significant negatives I have experienced with this tool.

Comprehensive IT service processes have been supported but customization and support need improvement
All ITSM functionalities of SymphonyAI IT Service Management, including incident, problem, change, service request, and their out-of-the-box functionalities, are pretty good. SymphonyAI IT Service Management does not have too many integrations and does not have too many out-of-the-box integrations compared to other peers in the market. I think that is the only place where they lack. However, they did have a functionality where we could build our own integration, so we were using that. If they had any out-of-the-box capabilities for some of the common infrastructure tools, that would have been easier for us. The out-of-the-box functionalities were good, including AI. However, the moment we had to customize options, that becomes very difficult with SymphonyAI IT Service Management. As long as we were using out-of-the-box, it worked great.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The deployment was good."
"Easy to access: Without the need to download and install software on a local machine, we can access the RPA application from virtually anywhere."
"When it comes to financials, Automation Anywhere has done amazing work in ensuring not only the speed and accuracy of the bot, but also the compliance and error controls through which the bot executes the job at very high satisfaction and tolerance levels."
"The most valuable feature in this solution is the IQ Bot."
"We have had a very good experience with Automation Anywhere and we are very happy with the solutions."
"Automation Anywhere has positively impacted my organization by providing a lot of hours and dollars saved for many business teams across the company, and it helps spark ideas for people to look at their own business processes and learn how to automate them from end to end."
"Our return on investment is high."
"So far, the organization has 20+ bots, which has generated more than $50K of ROI."
"Using the vulnerability management module you can track the list of vulnerabilities and can take action to remediate them."
"If you are comparing Nexpose and Qualys, I would prefer Qualys."
"For vulnerability management, Qualys Enterprise TruRisk Management is very good for our organization."
"Qualys VM had a recent upgrade and the newer version is supporting the cloud."
"This is one of the best products I have worked with so far."
"The way we can maintain a current actual registry of all the IP assets within it is very good."
"The initial setup is straightforward."
"The process of defining and discovering scans is organized efficiently."
"SummitAI IT Management Suite's chat box feature has reduced our service discount, and because it's intelligent, the responses that go out to the users have improved, and the resolutions are much faster."
"All ITSM functionalities of SymphonyAI IT Service Management, including incident, problem, change, service request, and their out-of-the-box functionalities, are pretty good."
"The product has the best features for ITSM."
"It was easy to access and fast. Our experience using it solely as a ticketing tool. We used fetch reports from the tool, particularly with regard to SLA tracking for our partners."
"The most valuable feature is remote access. People are working from home, and we can take remote access through it."
"It is a good tool to use."
 

Cons

"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."
"Regarding my experience with the pricing, setup cost, and licensing of Automation Anywhere, I have some concerns about the product licensing model."
"One of the challenges that I face every now and then while working with A2019, is around the bot agent updates. Every week/alternate weeK, I receive an error while running my bots, that asks me to update the bot agent."
"Automation Anywhere can be improved as there are issues with the recorder, which needs enhancement to extract more fields in the property set to increase reliability across various web application platforms, such as those built on React, React Azure, and React Angular."
"They should do more on the cognitive side."
"There should be more organized training sessions. I prefer interactive classes to one-on-one training. You can create super users and organize conferences or workshops where users can learn from experts. Maybe you only have a few of these super users in your organization, so that's why you need to have workshops on a weekly basis."
"I would like more integration with Microsoft Excel. More screenshots that can be integrated with Excel would help our customers too."
"I would wish for a greater focus on citizen development, which is a priority for our company."
"Web application security model needs some work."
"They can tweak their UI since the new version seems a bit jumbled up, and the old UI was more user-friendly."
"The reporting and the GUI need improvements. Tenable dominated in these two areas: reporting and graphical user interface."
"They're still evolving their platform in terms of reporting capabilities."
"The reporting is lacking a little, and it would be nice to have reports sent via email."
"There needs to be better documentation."
"The disadvantage of working with Qualys is that the graphical interface is quite outdated."
"Its integration with ServiceNow and other similar products is complicated and can be improved."
"SummitAI IT Management Suite's project management and operational management features could be improved."
"I would like them to add software inventory in the next release. We don't have that right now."
"There could be flexibility in terms of customization."
"Integration was a major limitation with SummitAI."
"Technical support takes too long for any issues to get resolved, and that created a lot of frustration."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"We were paying approximately $30,000 for a year license."
"If you are looking into Automation Anywhere, get the Community Edition and play with it."
"I advise others that even as of right now, the setup cost and licensing cost to automate bots on Automation Anywhere is steep but it is worth the investment!"
"It is not cheap, but we are able to get an ROI."
"Our advice is that anybody interested in this product should negotiate product bundles in order to reduce the cost of installation and setup."
"Its usage is expensive for us because my user base is mostly in Manila and KL. The unit cost of labor is cheaper there than in the U.S. or Australia, which puts a bit more stress on how to get a positive ROI while continuing to use it."
"The ROI is really good. We have saved time and money."
"Their licensing processes are in par with most industry standards."
"The product is more expensive than that of any other vendor."
"Qualys VM is reasonably priced."
"They have recently changed the pricing model, which is now better than it was before."
"The license is on a yearly basis."
"Usually every implementation is different and the quote is in function of number of assets."
"Qualys is cheaper and more affordable than other solutions."
"We do see over $100,000 in terms of price, for mid-size programs. You likely will pay more than $100,000 without any discount. It is a bit pricey."
"In Nigerian Naira, we spend about roughly four to five million to use this solution and this is expensive compared to solutions like Nessus."
"We have a regular license."
"SummitAI IT Management Suite's pricing is a bit expensive."
"The product's cost is average."
