Management Consultant at Accenture
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.

Structured workflows have improved SLA compliance and now support prioritized incident handling
I think the licensing and pricing of ServiceNow is quite expensive compared to other tools. For large organizations, it is acceptable, but specifically for small and medium organizations to track incidents or change requests, ServiceNow is quite expensive. Sometimes performance can be slow when workflows and integrations are configured for complex tasks. For advanced customizations or advanced features which we rarely use, the documentation is not up to standard. The documentation needs to be improved for advanced customization features. However, the platform is stable overall and the features are quite good. The user experience and performance concerns I mentioned are areas I want to be improved. When many workflows and interactions are configured, performance is slow. For the features it is providing, it is quite expensive. If these performance features are improved, we can easily pay that price and get the return on investment.

Stable, easy to install, and cost effective, but it needs better integration and data management
It needs better integration with other tools like Jira. Better reporting and better data management are also needed. I believe the way they're structured is the flat file. So it'd be better if they actually used a database for the data storage, and a more robust portal. I would like more flexible reporting.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"We have saved customers 400% in terms of time saved by implementing this product."
"The code, once developed, is pretty stable."
"Earlier users were converting the unstructured data from the PDF into the structured format to process the task but now, this activity is replaced by IQ Bot."
"Automation Anywhere can grow alongside our automation needs."
"It has saved us a lot of hours, manual effort, and we can focus on more important tasks, which helps us with our ROI."
"What Automation Anywhere does exceptionally well is allowing users—especially those without a technical background—to navigate easily, and if you know how to work with Excel or Word, you can simply type commands in plain English like 'save Excel' or 'open Excel' to find the corresponding actions."
"Automation Anywhere, specifically A2019, has helped us in automating a major chunk of such tasks, thus helped in saving a lot of time, effort, and revenue."
"The marketing automation software provides easy workflow creation and management."
"​The workflow capability for easy setup is powerful."
"I like that it's always up and running."
"The features of ServiceNow that I find most valuable include its ability to easily access ticket details if you know the ticket number, monitor the timeline of when the ticket was created, and see the current status, which makes ServiceNow the best tool I have ever used."
"It is very user friendly, and I've enjoyed using the dashboard and user interface."
"It's a pretty complete platform that you can basically create whatever you want."
"It just enabled us to see the whole organization as a single organization, which, especially for higher ed and places like that, just doesn't happen."
"We have found change management and CMDB to be very useful."
"I think realistically, it helped us better our processes."
"It is more flexible than our current solution."
"The two most valuable features are the portal and reporting."
"Absolutely, we have seen a return on our investment."
 

Cons

"PDF extraction and cognitive automation need improvement."
"As a business user, I would like to have a feature wherein the bot is run on demand, whenever an email with a specific keyword or whenever a specific pers sends an email to the bot's email address."
"Although, IQ Bot has data being extracted from it. It can improve with more features, like handwritten copies that are readable."
"While the ease of use for non-tech users is good, it could be improved."
"Certain areas of the user interface require improvement."
"I think the pricing model should be more flexible."
"The regional distribution in Turkey can be improved."
"If I were to mention one area for improvement, it would be on advanced AI commands, such as advanced coding. While this is not critically needed since Automation Anywhere is doing great, improving in that area could be beneficial."
"Calendar views - there are no nice calendar views and I think I'm just starting to learn about resource management but it would be nice for them to have the roadmaps so you can see an actual calendar view to see where, from a project, you are."
"if I consider from the IT operations management side, ServiceNow is pretty premature on some things, especially the discovery, while the other tools like Micro Focus and BMC Remedy, those that have been in the market for quite some time. ServiceNow is evolving itself in the discovery piece of the future."
"ServiceNow doesn't cater to the Middle Eastern market."
"All the screens are similar. It's the same platform for everything and you need to familiarize yourself with it."
"They can maybe improve the area of agile project management. They do have user storyboards and other things, but we kind of lean on Jira for that work. This is perhaps an area that could be looked at a little more."
"What's not so good for us is also the support for problems and regressions."
"We've been through about four different vendors over the three and a half years. Some of that code has been problematic for us."
"I think they also should rethink the way they license the tool because it’s too expensive to automate all of your business, but you’ll need lots of licenses."
"Yes. Major system issues and outages during our implementation."
"It needs better integration with other tools like Jira."
"It's a very cost-effective solution, but it's not robust."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The pricing is a bit higher."
"It's the best RPA tool, but the pricing could be improved."
"Our advice is that anybody interested in this product should negotiate product bundles in order to reduce the cost of installation and setup."
"We brought onshore a lot of what we were doing offshore, saving our company close to $20 million."
"My understanding is that the license cost of Automation Anywhere is more reasonable than UiPath and Blue Prism."
"Our annual licensing costs for the entire company are $100,000."
"If you look at the capital expenditure, Automation Anywhere is number two to UiPath. But if you take a long-term view, on a scalable model of a large number of bots coming out, it slowly goes on to become the costliest tool. There is something they can do about that. The capital expenditure goes out right at the point of buying the tool. For Automation Anywhere, I would need to spend $20,000. UiPath can give me something for $6,000, while Blue Prism will come in at $300,000."
"The pricing and licensing are definitely moderate to costly but easily recoverable by achieving ROI quickly."
"ServiceNow is an expensive solution."
"The license model is based on a number of fulfillers (active users who play some role within the ServiceNow functionality). Therefore, you can serve as many end-users as you want, without additional costs."
"The price of the solution is comparable to industry standards. For the features that we received, it is reasonable."
"It is fairly expensive."
"While the option exists to pay for a monthly license, we are dealing with large enterprises and these typically involve multi-year licenses of ten or five years, at a minimum."
"It is very expensive because it is a big organization. You have to pay for additional things."
"I rate the solution's pricing a six out of ten. The pricing for ServiceNow is based on a SaaS platform with annual contracts. However, it may not offer much flexibility for adjusting usage in the short term."
"The price could be a little lower for the solution. Many of my customers have issues with the licensing process, they have to make it easier and straightforward."
"The price is approximately $70 per agent, per month."
