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.

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.

Efficient integration enhances customer insights and communication
The integration between Zoho CRM, Zoho Desk, and Zoho Projects is very good. One of the key features of Zoho CRM is the ability to record telephone calls using AI. The AI tool, Tele Zia, translates calls into bullet points, providing insights such as when to send emails or contact the customer based on previous conversations.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"Bot Insights is the most valuable feature; we don't have to struggle with generating metrics around how the bots are performing, and this information coming out of Automation Anywhere is useful to us because of the way the metrics are generated, which inspires confidence in our customers."
"Many tasks take a long time for a person to do them. Automation Anywhere enables us to do those jobs in less time."
"The platform is easy to use, especially for business users."
"There are things that used to take us a lot of time, like manual entries or HR queries, but now that the bots are in place, we are saving a lot of time."
"We have started to see the ROI, as activities in which resources in my team would have taken four to five hours are now done in 30 minutes."
"Comparing to other products in the market, we are getting all the features in hundred percent quality with what the objective needs to be met by other products, and that is also delivered in Automation Anywhere."
"We have saved time and money using the solution."
"Most of the features are valuable."
"It’s provided self-service and automation, notifications, and reporting, and it’s good on a day-to-day and macro perspective."
"CA Technologies support is excellent."
"This is the best product for Large Infrastructure companies/organizations to monitor their infrastructures/servers etc."
"Essential service management solution all in one, like 100- for service request, 200- for change request, 300- for incidents, 400- for problems."
"Improved the effectiveness of my Service Desk Team and improved the SLA timing."
"The support is pretty good, the follow up is great; it is 24 hours, so that’s been useful, and it has a good escalation path, which is essential."
"The solution is a highly mature product, and because of this, it can stand up to any other product on the market."
"The most valuable feature is the ability to easily create service catalogues for our customers, something that we didn't have previously with the other tool we were using, which was SDM."
"You can use the solution anywhere, anytime, even on mobile phones, and it is capable of supporting a lot of users while remaining quite stable."
"The integration part is a valuable feature in the solution, especially if we're talking about Zoho One solution. Zoho Desk is easy to integrate with Zoho platform."
"The tool has made support very flexible and strong. We can use chat boxes and auto-responses. If someone creates a ticket, it will be created in Zoho Desk's ticket module. We can get emails and respond to them within the product. We don't need a support email product to manage emails. We can easily manage it within Zoho Desk. The tool's interface is good since it updated the layout three months ago and the current interface is more effective."
"The most valuable features of Zoho Desk are archiving queries and analytics."
"The product has a lot of features."
"The deployment process is swift, typically taking just one day, and includes customization and automation setup."
"It is a scalable platform."
"The ticketing feature is very easy to use, compared to other systems."
 

Cons

"Additional features should involve the Cognitive Section where we need more Advance solutions involving ML & AI."
"I would like the support to be faster. Their response time is one to two days. Their customer care could be faster."
"Some things that I do not see as of today are interactive chat or video interface."
"It is not able to use OCR effectively and has limited usability."
"Investment effect is almost none, unfortunately."
"I would like to have a bot as a service platform on AA Cloud."
"The solution doesn't offer all the capabilities that we need, so we have to use it in conjunction with other software."
"Their OCR is a bit expensive, meaning the IQ Bot."
"The solution needs to improve its reporting features. The user interface needs a lot of improvements."
"The deployment was very difficult to handle. It's an unnecessarily difficult process that requires third-party assistance to do correctly."
"Their service management application needs a lot of work."
"We have been seeing a little bit of latency here and there, but we haven't been able to identify it."
"Flexibility to customize."
"This is not appropriate for a small or even a medium-sized business. Too much overhead for a small company."
"Importing data with relations is difficult and could be better."
"I think they could update some of the interface. It doesn't look as pretty as some of the other ones."
"They could enhance the product’s features to customize the automated email responses."
"Zoho Desk lacks lookup fields for the layouts."
"Could have slightly better integration between additional functionalities in the Zoho desk."
"Zoho Desk should provide more integrations and improve the Zoho project integration."
"The solution needs to have more customization on alerts and notifications."
"The main concern is the pricing of Zoho Desk, as I consider it to be on the expensive side."
"Zoho Desk could be improved by making it multi-tenant, as it is currently not suitable for service providers with multiple customers."
"It could be easier to link Zoho Desk and Outlook."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Time and monetary savings can range from 20 to 90 percent."
"We have seen ROI on one of the process, but not on the other processes yet."
"This is a value for the money product."
"The cost of Automation Anywhere is high in Turkey due to the weak economy."
"As far as costs, it depends on your use. We started with a basic department pack, which is over 10K. The additional costs depend on the scale of the engagement and how it pans out. We customize to our needs on the go."
"There is an annual license to use the solution."
"It costs up to $1,200 per license."
"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."
Information not available
"Price-wise, Zoho Desk is about 35 USD a month per user."
"Zoho Desk's pricing is more flexible."
"The product costs $10 to $25 per user per month."
"The solution is relatively cheap. However, there are additional licensing fees involved."
"For what it does, it's quite cheap."
"The gap is limited, but it should limit the price back bracket so that most start-ups can use it most effectively."
"The pricing is better than Zendesk. Zendesk charges in USD per user per month, whereas Zoho let us pay in Naira (Nigerian currency)."
"Zoho Desk is a cost-effective solution."
