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.

Sudden access suspension has disrupted compliance work and raises serious trust concerns
Scytale unilaterally suspended access because in their opinion, I don't know why they did that. I'm assuming they think that we're competitive, which we're not. They sold us the system and sent a contract to us in full knowledge of what we do as a business. Compliance is a very broad word; we provide compliance into nonprofits, housing associations, markets that these guys do not serve. Somebody inside Scytale likely thought, "Oh my God, these guys must be competitive, so let's just cut them off." I'm assuming that's what happened, but there was no explanation, nothing. Scytale did not help me streamline my compliance processes. It didn't really identify gaps. There was no gap analysis in there that we could see. I didn't really get that far to use the effectiveness of Scytale's real-time insights in identifying potential compliance issues. All my experiences with Scytale have been negative. We haven't used the automated evidence collection of Scytale. Scytale has not helped me allocate resources more efficiently for compliance; it's been the opposite experience. We have put six months of effort into looking at the controls on 27001, talking about auditors, getting audit-ready, and so forth. But we've invested significant time, which has now been a complete waste of time. Scytale is not only unreliable, considering they can suspend access without any notice or formal reason, but this lack of stability results in serious concerns about their dependability as a partner. If they can do that without explanation, my fear is that even if they switch it on again, who's to know in three months' time that the same thing couldn't happen again?

Vendor risk monitoring has strengthened our security posture and reduced insurance costs
In terms of improvements, I feel SecurityScorecard could enhance some of the integrations based on AI platforms, where I could receive suggestions from the AI tool regarding why SecurityScorecard rates specific issues as critical or high. Details on the technical mitigation would help my non-technical teams understand the security issues better. I think improvements could be made on the reporting side as well, such as the ability to download customizable reports. While SecurityScorecard offers various kinds of reports now, they are limited to predefined formats. Having the ability to choose specific fields for an automated report would be very helpful.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"Automation Anywhere consistently ranks at the top, matching our vision and strategy for implementing transformative solutions."
"Automation Anywhere is the best."
"Automation Anywhere overall is a great tool for automation, as it provides a lot of flexibility to work with different other applications."
"With the rebate processing automation that we did, it has provided us a savings of around an hour or two a person on a daily basis, which is quite a lot of savings."
"I like the new GenAI and Automation Co-Pilot, which is something like attended automation."
"It has the ability to tag different components within the automation. We built it to track the ROI and stability of the product."
"The customer engagement is really deep, and they work with the “gemba”. They work with operations very closely. I also believe they have a good product roadmap."
"The best aspect is the user interface. It is very user-friendly and snappy, responding quickly compared to other available tools. It is easy to learn, and the community support is good for asking questions and getting answers."
"The processes I participated in during the setup of Scytale were straightforward; it was acceptable and fine."
"With SecurityScorecard, the most valuable feature is the ability to identify if third parties or vendors have digital threats that may impact our company. It also scans all internal domains and IPs to find vulnerabilities in the digital landscape. The continuous monitoring capabilities have been beneficial by providing ongoing assessments of potential risks."
"With its automated approach, nothing is missed on the IPs your organization is related to."
"SecurityScorecard continuously scans just about every IP address out there, which means there is information available about virtually every company."
"The initial setup takes just a couple of days and doesn't require any installation."
"Fortify Data offers attack surface capabilities that identify vulnerabilities, exposed ports, and dark web information."
"Since we onboarded SecurityScorecard, our organization has been positively impacted by significantly improving our security maturity."
"SecurityScorecard has positively impacted my organization and my customers by providing numerous benefits, as customers easily obtain the score, can determine what ports are open and many other things so that they can secure their DNS, applications, and networks effectively, and they have improved compliance and security with the help of SecurityScorecard."
"The best features SecurityScorecard offers for me are mainly being able to properly position my organization's security posture because of the score that is provided."
 

Cons

"It is a bit wonky with HTML when I'm working with it. There are times when it's not able to detect the technology that we are using. I don't know whether it's an Automation Anywhere issue or an internal issue. I want it to work smoothly with more technologies."
"I would like more with OCR and data capture."
"The initial setup for the program was not straightforward. It was definitely complex."
"In terms of speed in Automation Anywhere, I feel it is taking a slightly longer time."
"We have done some automation of incoming documents, but it has been somewhat hard."
"It takes a lot of effort to build up the internal infrastructure/topics like Virtual Machine/Security/development-Governance/Usecase-Management."
"There is still a way to go for Automation Anywhere where we can see improvement."
"Automation Anywhere has a persistent click-related issue that can make automation difficult, particularly in unattended environments."
"Scytale is not reliable at all; not stable. You would be unwise to put a mission-critical function like ISO 27001 on Scytale."
"The pricing of the product needs improvement in Brazil."
"SecurityScorecard can be improved. As it currently stands, it does a good job monitoring public-facing devices and the internet and DNS."
"The tool needs to have the ability to mitigate vulnerabilities with alternative solutions."
"Regarding my experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing for SecurityScorecard, since it does not require active deployment on our side being a SaaS-first company, I expected slightly lower pricing."
"SecurityScorecard's technical team's response time is an area that my company expects to be made faster."
"There could be more information in regards to solving problems like hints on what specifically to look for."
"Some wanted a different solution."
"They could improve the process with a questionnaire module for the product."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"We have seen ROI in terms of cost and time with a couple of our projects."
"We have a three-year contract with Automation Anywhere."
"Pricing is a bit high when compared to other available tools; however, the tool is worth the cost."
"Automation Anywhere is reasonably priced because it can sustain us for a long period."
"Pricing is affordable and I would recommend beginning with the Starter Package."
"The licensing cost of Automation Anywhere is better than UiPath and Blue Prism."
"Automation Anywhere is flexible in terms of costing and licensing."
"We have seen the tangible benefits of taking monotonous work off people's plates, creating capacity, and cost reductions."
Information not available
"The pricing of SecurityScorecard is fair. I would rate it a seven. It's a bit more on the expensive side. In Brazil, for example, making a payment to the vendor involves wire transfers and high taxes, making it more expensive. Selling SecurityScorecard or any American vendor's product in the United States is very different from selling in South America or Brazil."
"The pricing could be split into a lower-paid tier for smaller organizations and another higher tier for others with a more security-focused outlook. $1000 per month is more than some companies pay for their internet connections in total. UPDATE: they have a new 400$ a month tier for starters."
"Even though it's competitive, they offer flexible pricing structures."
