Automation Anywhere

Featured Reviews

Venkat Sivaprakash

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.

A modular, easy-to-use solution that needs to improve support and include automation

There are one or two annoying things. For example, if you make a drop-down list of something, it doesn't automatically alphabetize the drop-down list. You have to manually go and drag items up and down and alphabetize them yourself. That's annoying. If you have five items in the drop-down list or if you have a hundred, it's just pathetic. It makes no sense that you have to do that because I've never seen it not work before in any other system that I've ever worked with. If you make a list of things, most solutions automatically put it in an alphabetized order. Or it'll put it in date order, but there is some order. It doesn't just go randomly in the order you create them. For example, I might load about 20 neighborhoods into a drop-down list, starting at "a" and ending at "z." But I might miss one of the "b's" and two of the "c's," so I add them, but they are added after the "z." Then I have to go to the bottom of the list, click on the one that starts with "b," and drag it all the way up to the "b's." That's just a pain in the butt.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"In one of the use cases, we used to have around 300 tickets per month which has been reduced to almost zero now."

"Automation Anywhere has presented us with a platform that is easily accessible from a web interface, enabling us to write code for RPA scripts without having to download a dedicated software application."

"Now they have a nice tool that is mostly stable with most of the features I could want being covered in the functionality of the product."

"Our developers love it. It is fairly simple to use. Sometimes, we are able to even bring people on fairly quickly, like interns, and have them use the software. Then, we are able to see some real benefit out of it fairly quickly."

"I have been using Automation Anywhere for the past five years and it is one of the best tools to automate manual tasks."

"Now, we can have the bot check all of them."

"Courses on Automation Anywhere University are very easy to learn."

"It is easy to use and developer-friendly. The development time is very short. If any system needs to be changed or any functionality needs to be incorporated to any of the technology, it usually will be a long process, like months. With this innovative tool's automation, it is very dynamic, easy to develop, and deliver results quickly. With some of our use cases, we were able to deliver within the time frame of two to three weeks, which is the biggest plus with this tool."

More Automation Anywhere pros

"Openness and ease of use are the two big things right there."

"I like ServiceNow's Workspace feature. With Jira, we had to edit a ticket by going into it. We couldn't perform edits from within the project plan. ServiceNow allows you to edit everything from one screen. It's like an Excel spreadsheet, but Jira requires you to drill down into the ticket. ServiceNow is more convenient if you are working on multiple projects and workflows."

"It's more about the ease of use of ServiceNow, plus everything is there in a single platform, and if you need any additional functionality, you just need to enable the plugins without even installing anything on the servers."

"Overall, I have seen a substantial ROI when it comes to reporting: a faster response and also the assignment of tickets."

"I think realistically, it helped us better our processes."

"For our work, ServiceNow's service catalogs and SDK integrations are the most valuable features."

"The most valuable feature is the flexibility of development for customization."

"It's easy to integrate. For instance, yesterday we closed the integration with SAP for the IP business management module to manage the forecast of projects. We created an interface between ServiceNow and SAP to control projects for accounting and on the forecast of the project. It was really easy. We don't have any problems with ServiceNow at the moment. As a company, they are improving constantly."

More ServiceNow pros

"The most valuable feature of Vtiger CRM is automation."

"Very flexible and customizable; we appreciate being able to host it locally with direct access to the backend."

"The fact that we can build our own modules on the solution is really quite attractive, and it's not overly complex."

Cons

"Support is not very satisfactory."

"The technical support is critical for this product, but we have found them a challenge to work with."

"In terms of improvements for Automation Anywhere, I would prefer to see more options in packages and pricing, including a breakdown of different features and products, which would allow us to select certain products while potentially skipping others as needed."

"One key feature for improvement I have been providing feedback on through the MVP program is enhancing natural language conversation to action. The Automation Anywhere product team is actively putting this feature into their roadmap, which I believe is crucial."

"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."

"The Automation Anywhere calibrating needs to be more user-friendly to avoid human error."

"The technical support needs improvement."

"In high-availability, we have two Control Rooms acting as a cluster so if one fails the other one will take over. But that's not our environment operationally, and the latest information we have is that they identified another product bug."

More Automation Anywhere cons

"The ability to embed help information onto the screens."

"Time to respond from support could definitely be better, as the global support timing sometimes causes delays in interactions."

"The solution could be made cheaper. Machine learning and artificial intelligence should be introduced in the next release."

"I find some features are difficult to use."

"The user interface for accessing assistance sometimes disconnects."

"Very expensive."

"ServiceNow can improve by being customizable based on the different needs of companies, such as infrastructure and security requirements."

"The solution could improve by making the CMDB integrate with a CI better to allow it to be seen across multiple platforms."

More ServiceNow cons

"The mobile design could improve in Vtiger CRM. It could be more user-friendly."

"The charts and graphs available out of the box are pretty outdated, and you're a little limited in how you can present information on the dashboard without adding modules."

"If you make a drop-down list of something, it doesn't automatically alphabetize the drop-down list. You have to manually go and drag items up and down and alphabetize them yourself."

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The licensing cost for Automation Anywhere is high."

"It's cheaper than other similar solutions."

"Complaints are generally about the cost of IQ Bot, which is higher than its competitors. The base model’s pricing is comparable to other platforms with attended, unattended, and IDP capabilities as well."

"If I compare it with Blue Prism, Automation Anywhere is cheaper. Blue Prism is very costly. Automation Anywhere's pricing follows the market, not less and not more."

"I would rate the price of Automation Anywhere a six out of ten, with ten being the most expensive."

"I don't know exactly what the pricing schemes are for the product as this type of negotiation is not my responsibility, but I think the basic pricing comes to $15,000."

"Time and monetary savings can range from 20 to 90 percent."

"It's the best RPA tool, but the pricing could be improved."

More Automation Anywhere pricing and cost advice

"It is an expensive platform."

"It has a higher cost compared to local/regional solutions."

"The platform offers a free trial, by providing a free developer instance once you sign up."

"The mandatory minimum is US$ 20,000 for licensing."

"This is a pretty expensive product, so the licensing could be better."

"ServiceNow tends to be a little bit more expensive as compared to BMC Helix ITSM."

"ServiceNow's pricing is comparatively higher than Helix's."

"I'm not aware of any additional costs. I'm pretty sure that the current client is paying just the licensing fee per user. I do know that they've got some support agreement with ServiceNow, but I don't think that is broken out or specific to Project Management. It is just inclusive."

More ServiceNow pricing and cost advice

"The price doesn't change when you add users. It's a flat fee, and that's attractive."

"We are using the free open-source version of Vtiger CRM."
