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

"Instead of packages like other RPA tools, I think the repo check-in and check-out feature enables the same in AA."
"Using the Automation Anywhere University, you can go and train yourself to be an expert in the tool."
"With the help of Bot, it has increased the productivity of the current process and we do not need to spend more time on error resolution and rectification."
"It has helped us to save a lot of FTEs for our solutions that we have provided to our companies."
"One of our customers here in the Middle East has saved around 10,000 man-hours for a telecom company with the help of 50 to 60 robots initially, and now the same company is using around 4,000 robots now."
"It provides, not only hard benefits, but also soft benefits, leaving the human mind free of all voluminous repetitive tasks so workers can do the work that they are intended to do, which is thinking."
"It is highly scalable on cloud and virtual machines."
"Most clients prefer Automation Anywhere because it is easy to implement. You don't need to know rocket science to learn this solution. If you know logic, that is sufficient. Automation Anywhere is more user-friendly."
"Scytale has positively impacted my organization by giving us the ability to really educate our employees and make them aware, providing them more situational awareness when it comes to cybersecurity."
"The processes I participated in during the setup of Scytale were straightforward; it was acceptable and fine."
"The solution helps identify our environment's vulnerabilities."
"SecurityScorecard has impacted my organization positively as it was a surprise to notice that many of our customers follow us there, and the tool scans the web twice per day, so we can see how hackers and what they can see from our publicly available IPs."
"SecurityScorecard helps us identify potential vulnerabilities early, reduce third-party risk, and make more informed security decisions without relying only on questionnaires or self-reporting information."
"With its automated approach, nothing is missed on the IPs your organization is related to."
"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."
"I rate the product's initial setup phase a nine on a scale of one to ten, where one is a difficult setup phase, and ten is an easy setup process."
"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."
 

Cons

"One thing I learned with Co-Pilot is that it is very static. For instance, when dealing with tables and their headers, I must program them in a form. If my build changes, I have to return to my form and update the table titles. Features like looping are missing from Co-Pilot."
"Automation Anywhere should implement this feature. They should also decrease their cost."
"It would be great if they could do more third-party Salesforce integrations into the RPA side, which would be helpful."
"We did face some issues last year when there was an upgrade in Automation Anywhere control room, and at that time our web application automations were failing."
"The Automation Anywhere community is less active than the UiPath community, which is a downside. When I ask questions in the Automation Anywhere community, responses take a longer time."
"It is not able to use OCR effectively and has limited usability."
"Automation Anywhere's current requirement for upfront annual payments limits flexibility for customers."
"I would like the support to be faster. Their response time is one to two days. Their customer care could be faster."
"Scytale can be improved by making the interface a bit more consistent in most areas of the platform, as sometimes it can be confusing, and some information can be inaccessible or cut off."
"Scytale is not reliable at all; not stable. You would be unwise to put a mission-critical function like ISO 27001 on Scytale."
"SecurityScorecard can be complex during setup, and I would recommend that anyone implementing it get help setting it up because it is not as straightforward as people might think."
"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."
"Some wanted a different solution."
"SecurityScorecard's technical team's response time is an area that my company expects to be made faster."
"The pricing of the product needs improvement in Brazil."
"I realized that because my company was acquired by a bigger organization, SecurityScorecard started associating other portfolio company vulnerabilities to our score, which was not helpful because it was giving us wrong data and giving us vulnerabilities we did not have."
"There are areas for improvement in response times and overall support."
"The tool needs to have the ability to mitigate vulnerabilities with alternative solutions."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Yearly, our licensing costs are about $90,000 to $100,000. There will be additional licensing costs when we add more Bot Runners to our infrastructure."
"It's cheaper than other similar solutions."
"The pricing and licensing of Automation Anywhere plays an important rule in the Indian market because in the Indian market $10,000 USD is too much. Hence, the pricing tends to go down depending on the customer relationship with the partner: A starter pack is $10,000 and an enterprise pack is $100,000. If you go through an implementation partner, you can get good deals. They can save some money."
"It is one of the most affordable RPA solutions, and as for licensing, they offer a community edition that greatly helps anyone who aspires to learn about the product before buying the enterprise solution."
"It is not cheap, but we are able to get an ROI."
"Approximately, for a developer, it is around $750 for a license a year. For Bot Runners, it is about $550."
"Regarding the price, licensing, and maintenance, Automation Anywhere provides its customers with its best and affordable value."
"One of the things that will be good for the community will be to get the free version to download, which came out just a month ago called Community Edition. So, you can actually download it and try it for yourself."
Information not available
"Even though it's competitive, they offer flexible pricing structures."
"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."
"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."
