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.

Omni-channel routing has transformed case handling and now supports complex field operations
From my experience, we might need queue-based alignment in Omni-Channel routing. Assignment rules should be defined at the flow level. The challenge with SLA creation is evident in escalation rules, which should include a field flagging feature that is lacking in the current setup. Einstein Bot, linked with Omni-Channel messaging, is complex to define, with a need for all related information in one place, making the process cumbersome. Understanding which bot is associated with specific messaging apps requires manual searching, and this can be improved.

A fairly stable solution that’s highly mature, but has a poor user interface
The solution does not align as modern service solutions do. Seamless integration is no available among the processes. Their service management application needs a lot of work. It’s in a really bad state right now. They brought on a new interface that clumped all the processes and features of the solution into one. Still, it’s not really compatible with other solutions. Because of this, its rating has dropped in Gardner. The solution needs to improve its reporting features. The user interface needs a lot of improvements. The product needs to implement a cloud platform solution, which is lacking so far. Their workflow engine is still segregated. It’s not embedded. If you need to do some workflow approvals, you cannot do them directly on the service desk. You have to go into Outlook and do an approval or you have to go in through another screen to handle the approval because the workflow engine they have is a separate product.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"I like all of the features, especially the MetaBot, REST API, and SAP DLL."
"The best feature is the Capture action. If we want to capture the whole process, we can do it in a single shot."
"It has been able to save us time in our processes from hours to minutes."
"We have almost 27 use cases in production and, as of now, we have saved almost eight FTEs per annum."
"One of the notable benefits we've realized from Automation Anywhere is a significant reduction in errors when processing data, which improves both revenue accuracy and operational efficiency."
"Within one minute we can view more than one thousand students and their results."
"Co-Pilot is a valuable feature."
"This solution has helped us in several ways, the first of which is scheduling processes."
"Automation, order of execution, bulkification, and error monitoring are features that I found to be valuable, and with Salesforce, I have not faced any issues related to these functionalities."
"It integrates with all our platforms, providing a comprehensive view of the customer."
"Nobody can compete with Salesforce Service Cloud's scalability."
"With Salesforce Service Cloud, customers can have end-to-end visibility from inquiry to delivery."
"We are very happy with the support team from Salesforce."
"In terms of visibility to my boss and the team, it does help a lot."
"Service Cloud has allowed our organization to centralize multiple tools and resources into one tech stack that has optimized our ability to coordinate service efforts across the organization."
"It's a cloud tool, so it is easy to set up."
"This is really easy solution to scale up and get get going to add new catalog items."
"It provides us with a very easy and flexible UI for CA Nimsoft Service Desk 7."
"The ability to add Additional Information Screens on the fly."
"It’s provided self-service and automation, notifications, and reporting, and it’s good on a day-to-day and macro perspective."
"Improved the effectiveness of my Service Desk Team and improved the SLA timing."
"Essential service management solution all in one, like 100- for service request, 200- for change request, 300- for incidents, 400- for problems."
"This is the best product for Large Infrastructure companies/organizations to monitor their infrastructures/servers etc."
"The most valuable features for me are scalable architecture, customization potential where the UI, background, and data movement allow you to tailor to the nitty gritty details of what you might need in your environment, and advanced workflow management."
 

Cons

"This solution could be more stable because sometimes I see some bugs."
"Cognitive services and PDF file automation should be refined."
"It takes a lot of time to deploy, and sometimes it fails after a timeout."
"It is not always predictable 100% of the time. While it has improved with each version, some unexplained issues still exist."
"It may sound a little funny or weird, but one thing that we are thinking is we have to go to various websites and pick up relevant data from various websites using the bot. That is something we have seen that none of the bots have been able to really do it because the back-end of those websites do not allow bots to scrap through all these websites and get the relevant data in one place. We would like to see how the bot companies would crack this idea. But, that's why I said, this look weird because of the legal reasons why this cannot be done. This is something that I am looking forward to."
"The main disadvantage of Automation Anywhere is its high cost."
"The website can be buggy at times, and I would like to see improvements in latency and slow response times."
"There are occasional bugs in the system but technical support is quick to address them and deliver solutions, patches, and upgrades."
"The support team is limited and does not typically go above and beyond like some companies. Unless you have premium support, assistance is restricted."
"The pricing for what Salesforce Service Cloud offers is not great."
"The pricing of the various editions could be improved."
"The governor limits are a troubling feature of Salesforce"
"Reporting needs improvement as sometimes we need to export data and work with it in Excel."
"The main concern for me revolves around the speed of certain integrations."
"I'd like to see a better UI/UX. It also needs more competitive pricing on the Service Cloud feature licenses."
"I'm not deeply engaged with this team, so I don't have extensive experience with it. As you mentioned, I haven't used it much yet, so my experience is limited."
"Their service management application needs a lot of work."
"Actually this product and its limitations reduced the Service Desk effectiveness compared to the product we were using."
"Usability for IT analysts could be improved."
"Flexibility to customize."
"It loses points because it’s not GUI enough, too code-y."
"I think they could update some of the interface. It doesn't look as pretty as some of the other ones."
"Importing data with relations is difficult and could be better."
"When tickets are closed occasionally, it is quite hard to reopen it, which will cause lost-tickets."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The cost is anywhere between $10,000 and $100,000."
"We're on a license package with Automation Anywhere (AA), paid yearly. What would be better is for them to have different packages for different types of organization."
"I think the solution's pricing is reasonable."
"There is an annual subscription for Automation Anywhere."
"The Automation Anywhere license is affordable and not complex."
"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."
"I am not responsible for the pricing part, but I know the pricing is competitive compared to other tools."
"The cost for scalability is much cheaper than developing a new system."
"Salesforce Service Cloud is a highly expensive solution"
"The product is expensive. There is a need to make yearly payments towards the licensing costs attached to the product."
"The licensing is flexible. Companies pay for what they use. However, a company with very small needs might find it difficult to justify the cost. Overall, it's in the medium price range."
"The solution is priced at 50 dollars a month per user."
"Salesforce is very cost-effective."
"The price is too expensive."
"We pay a yearly licensing fee for Salesforce Service Cloud, which is expensive."
"I believe that in our country, Colombia, we utilize this platform for the Latin American region. In terms of expenses, it's somewhat higher compared to other products. I would rate it as expensive and nine out of ten."
