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

"A project that we automated: A person used to spend about eight to twelve hours every week to finish the process. The bot finishes it in half an hour. Now, the person just reviews it, then passes along the information. This has helped our organization because originally EMEA and APAC would not receive the files the same day that they were processed. But because the bot only takes a half an hour, everyone can now receive the files on the same day."
"Automation Anywhere has saved us a lot of time, money & efforts by automating our ServiceNow tickets."
"The integration is helpful. We have quite a few use cases where we've integrated with Microsoft tools and local record systems, such as SAP and Vertex AI."
"AA RPA has drastically reduced speed of execution and thus turn around time of processes, ensuring all service level agreements are met and our customers get a great experience."
"One of the most valuable features is the different possibilities it gives you to manipulate the interface screens that you're working with."
"It has absolutely been worth it for us and has provided us with good value."
"For business professionals, it automates repetitive tasks and enhances efficiency and cost savings."
"With Automation Anywhere bots, we are able to cut down the manual efforts by 80% in generating Excel and Power BI reports, extracting and uploading files to various sites, and many other web-based administrative tasks."
"We used Salesforce Service Cloud for CRM (customer relationship management) cases and general sales cases."
"There is an out-of-the-box feature for reporting and analytics"
"The whole CRM suite is valuable, and it's a platform upon which to rapidly build applications."
"The complexity of the solution is very less."
"Salesforce Service Cloud improved our organization with its mobile capabilities."
"It integrates with all our platforms, providing a comprehensive view of the customer."
"The instant input of feedback into the CRM systems by case management is one of the impactful features"
"Logging activities and creating opportunities are easier than before, and it provides visibility of the sales pipeline."
"Customer service has been one of the best for any software provider we have seen; any issue we had was solved quickly."
"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."
 

Cons

"The initial setup was a bit difficult and took more time than expected."
"Additionally, the user interface is quite outdated and could be more user-friendly. The licensing cost is also too high, which means many small-scale industries may not choose this product."
"Some of the machine learning (ML) components are still in development. They deployed many of them, but they are doing some improvements on the machine learning part."
"I have seen that the South American support is not as good as it should be."
"Their bot runners could be made to handle multiple payloads at the same time because if I want to run multiple parallel operations, the number of bot runners that I have to buy just keeps increasing. It is adding to the cost. However, there is a possibility that we don't need that many bot runners, and we can run multiple operations in a bot runner. This would be a great addition to have."
"Also, we're seemingly plagued with certain technological issues or bugs."
"We have had so many stability issues."
"We looked at the Bot Store initially and didn't find much."
"There are elements of Service Cloud which cannot be smoothly migrated from sandbox environments to production, leading to manual steps in a deployment."
"There is no control over the appearance of Visual Flow pages, giving the appearance of an amateur web application within the Salesforce interface."
"Reporting could be improved."
"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."
"Customer Service: 3/10 Technical Support: 3/10"
"There is room for improvement in pricing."
"Salesforce Service Cloud should work more on the resolution side. Once a case is raised and activities are tracked, at the time of closure, they could make it more simple."
"The solution's integration with the main ERP is a little cumbersome."
"I think I'd like to see a more user-friendly interface in the user-ticket view."
"Their live-chat support needs work."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"They all are very competitive today. At the end of the day, it boils down to the negotiations that happen and what type of partner you are."
"We are interested in saving manual engineer man-hours. So far, we have saved $100,000."
"In terms of pricing, it's not at all cheap, and that's a concern. The licensing cost is very high. While I don't know the exact prices of other tools, Microsoft offers the lowest pricing for its RPA platform compared to UiPath and Automation Anywhere."
"The enterprise version is expensive for small businesses and individual users."
"The cost can be reduced a little for users."
"This is a comprehensive automation offering with a scalable architecture and flexible pricing models."
"On a yearly basis, our licensing costs are about $80,000. There are no additional costs beyond the standard licensing fees."
"Automation Anywhere is somewhat expensive. The prices are slightly higher, but if you need something, you must pay for it."
"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 is very cost-effective."
"Only enterprise businesses can afford the solution, and small companies cannot afford it."
"The tool is pretty expensive."
"Salesforce is not a cheap product. It can be expensive."
"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."
"The product is expensive. There is a need to make yearly payments towards the licensing costs attached to the product."
