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.

Field service has become more customer focused but asset-centric workflows still need improvement
Regarding the positive aspects of the product, the first advantage is that it is integrated with the CRM customer, making it highly customer-focused. I can easily connect with the customer, have agent AI to directly communicate with them, and customers can create a case without any intervention. Technicians can reach out to customers, making communication seamless. The knowledge base in the product definitely helps resolve customer issues. I use the knowledge base mainly for the technicians; they get the details, pre-work brief, and information on probable cases based on what the customer reports, including what parts they need to carry. Omni-channel support definitely improves customer engagement, but it has been available for a long time, so it is nothing new currently.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The stability of Automation Anywhere is not a concern when deployed on the cloud."
"This is a perfect solution for us and Automation Anywhere helps us to close many deals."
"While our Automation Anywhere's implementation is in a premature stage, it has really decreased the workload on our service desk and we definitely see some ROI in the future from this product."
"Automation Anywhere lets us do that, as users can develop the bots by themselves."
"Some of the really impactful features of working with Automation Anywhere are the ability to design and partner with their experts to come up with our solutions."
"Automation Anywhere has excellent features."
"In 2018, we looked at some other products on the market, but Automation Anywhere was a perfect fit. We didn't have any issues that Automation Anywhere couldn't solve. The critical factor for us was its ease of use. We liked the drag-and-drop interface and the low-code capabilities."
"Automation Anywhere's most valuable feature is its seamless integration into procurement software, allowing for the automation of purchase orders, billing, employee travel details, and other tasks."
"It's a great tool for collaboration because it can track and share everyone's input."
"The flexibility of the platform is what really separates it from the crowd."
"It's a cloud tool, so it is easy to set up."
"Regarding pricing, I would say Salesforce field service is affordable, but the cost is increasing a little bit."
"With the implementation of a complete Service Renewal Cycle using Salesforce, their threshold value of conversion got reduced from 1-2 weeks to a single day!"
"The main benefit is having it integrated with the core Salesforce."
"There is an out-of-the-box feature for reporting and analytics"
"Service Cloud provides a best-of-breed cloud-based case management and call center solution."
"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

"Automation Anywhere lacks a desktop version and is solely web-based and cloud-based. Automation Anywhere is not so easy for business users who are not technical."
"It is not as easy to implement as advertised. It is difficult across the board. It is difficult for technical and non-technical users."
"The customization feature should be made more user-friendly in order to enable the use of external reference components."
"The availability of material in terms of more technical documentation could be improved, particularly in-depth information about how things can be done."
"I would like them to add OCR features. This would help us deal with unstructured data and we can get more data out of images."
"I would like to see them expand the service catalog with RCA add-ons to the current RPA package."
"Automation Anywhere (AA) has a lot of stability issues. It needs a lot of maintenance."
"There is limited scope for complex decision-making. For instance, a bot can extract invoice details, but it cannot determine if an invoice is fraudulent without AI integration."
"The solution's integration with the main ERP is a little cumbersome."
"The main concern for me revolves around the speed of certain integrations."
"Reporting could be improved."
"Salesforce Service Cloud's report functionality could be improved."
"This is the one area that I really dislike about Salesforce. Dealing with their Level One support is a nightmare."
"The workforce management could use improvement as my client wasn't happy with the scheduling engine."
"Specifically, they need to improve the Knowledge Management module."
"UI/UX has always proven difficult to keep up with. Salesforce, in general, requires a continued training effort to keep people up to speed and to encourage adoption in the tools."
"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

"It's somewhat pricier than some of the other tools that we've used, and the breakout between the different applications is also somewhat costly. If they can make it a little more cost-effective or bundle packages a little bit more, that would be beneficial."
"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."
"The cost of Automation Anywhere is high in Turkey due to the weak economy."
"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 setup cost for this is onetime and licensing is based on your choice of product."
"Cost-wise, it is fine. A lot of medium businesses prefer Automation Anywhere. The development cost is also lower."
"Overall, the pricing of Automation Anywhere is good."
"On average, a bot runner in Automation Anywhere can cost $5,000, while in Microsoft Power Automate, you can get most of the same functionality for $100."
"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."
"Salesforce Service Cloud is a bit expensive."
"The product is expensive. There is a need to make yearly payments towards the licensing costs attached to the product."
"The price of the solution depends on how many users need access to it"
"We pay a yearly licensing fee for Salesforce Service Cloud, which is expensive."
"Only enterprise businesses can afford the solution, and small companies cannot afford it."
"The tool is pretty expensive."
"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."
