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.

Business processes are automated efficiently with a well-designed interface

There is room for improvement in integrations and customizations for AgilePoint and other low-code, no-code solutions. Additionally, the marketing of such products should be more honest. They often claim to solve all process automation needs, but they only handle problems of certain complexity. AgilePoint cannot handle highly complex processes like ERPs.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"I really like Screen Recording because it is used to record a task or a series of actions."

"Toward this life cycle, we have a very structured approach of governing, monitoring, and tracking, that's the approach we have taken. Insights we gain from this governance, we apply towards automation strategy and implementations. We've done this for many clients across the globe. We are happy to share those experiences with some of you as well."

"There are multiple levels of cloning. In case screen cloning doesn't work, you can do object-based cloning or keystroke-level cloning, depending upon what parameters are available to you and what is the level of information that you capture. You can traverse between object cloning, which is the lowest form of cloning to a stroke-based cloning, which is like taking care of each keystroke-level which is made by the agent."

"We have saved time and money using the solution."

"So far, we have seen that a valuable feature of Automation Anywhere is the ease of integrating it with multiple systems. It can very easily integrate with an environment of an organization. It helps in a quick go to access and implementation. You don't have to spend days implementing Automation Anywhere software. You can quickly go drag and drop and do an ease of configuration. You can actually get your bot up and running very fast, which is one important advantage."

"I consider the verification station very useful because it allows you to quickly check if the data extracted are correct or if you need to change the process."

"Automation Anywhere has excellent features."

"My organization has worked with multiple clients and helped them automate their repetitive and mundane processes, and these organizations have seen a drastic increase in employee productivity, reduced human errors, and better SLAs, all of which leads to customer satisfaction."

More Automation Anywhere pros

"The solution's workflows are its most useful feature."

"AgilePoint has improved our organization by making form implementation easier and to plan for future growth."

"Anytime companies need any solution with workflow, they can base it on AgilePoint, because AgilePoint allows companies to design and implement workflows very fast using the system's interface."

"AgilePoint's most valuable feature is process management."

"The initial setup of AgilePoint was very easy."

"I like the design and the integration capacity, and it's also easy to use."

"AgilePoint's automation is excellent in managing different user roles and handling data associated with a particular instance of the workflow."

"The tool helps to automate IT service management processes. It's the market-leading technology. It can provide the company with chatbots and a unique process or workflow orchestration. It can be customized to the customer's specific needs, enabling semi-automatic or full automation processes. It integrates fully with SAP and offers a wide range of advantages for both us and our clients."

"Now Platform's best features are collaboration, configurability, and customizability."

"It's very intuitive and easy to use. The flexibility and user-friendliness of ServiceNow are key reasons it's such a popular cloud solution."

"We work on it directly to send out tickets, it enables us to work seamlessly, we don't need to send them out manually, and we can create a ticket and assign it in the system."

"ServiceNow Now Platform is clearly more futuristic and much better to integrate with all other applications."

"Assignment Group history is really important to me."

"The solution provides a single platform for multiple systems and software to operate from. We have found the solution to be stable The initial setup and deployment of the solution was very easy. The technical support team are very helpful, we contact them whenever we are unable to fix an issue."

"ServiceNow Now Platform has one thing that no other tool offers, which is the dataset, specifically the management of the dataset."

More ServiceNow Now Platform pros

Cons

"Automation Anywhere can be improved with respect to the user-friendliness of the interface because most of the competitors are now using a flowchart-like structure, thus making it easy for anyone to learn and study it."

"One area requiring improvement is the debugging process. When I use a multi-structure with conditions to switch from one bot to another, successful debugging of the entire process is not feasible. Each bot has to be debugged individually."

"Instead of depending on other open-source BPM products, AA should provide their own BPM for attended automations."

"The Help menu/description can be provided while hovering over actions so that it can help us better to know them."

"I would like to be able to look at the steps that are completed as a process is running."

"Also, we're seemingly plagued with certain technological issues or bugs."

"In terms of speed in Automation Anywhere, I feel it is taking a slightly longer time."

"The technical support needs improvement."

More Automation Anywhere cons

"They should add more information about functionality."

"Technical support is very slow to respond and they need to be quicker in getting back to clients when problems arise."

"It could be more flexible, but it's already a good solution for the designer."

"Some issues with AgilePoint's design, AI and UX are some of the major problems we deal with when handling our company's business models or processes."

"The solution should be able to support Docker. This would help make scalability easier."

"Integrations and customizations should be improved in AgilePoint and other low-code solutions."

"While the platform is good and it has a lot of options, I would like to see more alternative features in future versions such as connectors to IDM. Currently, they have only ADFS and Okta."

"The licensing for this solution, with respect to the user, needs to be improved."

"It's not quick or cheap."

"The UI is very bad and needs to be updated."

"ServiceNow is not open source, so there is a license you must pay. As for how much it costs, what I have observed is that it often depends on your subscriptions. Suppose that you go with some subscriptions such as IDSM or any type of package like it, then the license cost will be impacted accordingly. Similarly, the cost is also adjusted based on your headcount of how many users will be using it."

"There's always room for improvement, but I think the biggest challenge with ServiceNow is the licensing model. It's not very clear and changes frequently."

"The number of API calls processed by the tool, specifically when the API calls increase, will cause a lot of load on the platform, and it tends to not work very efficiently."

"The user experience could be improved. The current design of forms lacks intuitiveness, as there seems to be only one form available for all types of operations."

"Bug and defect management are not available in ServiceNow."

More ServiceNow Now Platform cons

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Talk to your manager and try to procure an automation license for training. This will allow you to train people, so you can move to automation."

"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."

"We purchase on a bot basis. Our costs are approximately $5,000."

"Automation Anywhere has an advantage in terms of licensing. It is more cost-efficient compared to all other RPA platforms. It is a recommended solution when clients need a cost-efficient automation tool to perform unattended automation."

"Our annual licensing costs are about $500,000."

"They are already coming out with a community license, which is really good. That's something that I wish to have."

"In most of the cases, the product value is very good. If the infrastructure, implementation, and framework are good, then generally, the client can get a good return on investment."

"We were required to purchase licenses and bot runners, which determined the permissible run times for the bots."

More Automation Anywhere pricing and cost advice

"It is more cost-effective than local tools."

"Price-wise, AgilePoint is a cheap tool and a standard application for running analytics in an IT environment."

"I believe the pricing has changed recently. We had purchased one license per server, and it was about $2,000. It was a one-time payment. It's possible that they have recently implemented a new cost structure and now have yearly subscriptions."

"I think the price is reasonable."

"I would rate the pricing an eight out of ten, with ten being very expensive solution."

"Price-wise, I would describe the product's cost to be more than the average, but it compensates for that with the functionalities that it provides."

"From what I heard, the license for the ServiceNow Now Platform is paid monthly, and on a scale of one to five, I'm rating it a three in terms of pricing, so it's on the cheaper side. I don't know of any additional costs associated with the ServiceNow Now Platform, apart from the standard licensing fees."

"The pricing of this solution is done annually and it is very expensive."

"In my opinion, it is expensive. However, they do offer favorable licensing for charities, for example."

"Pricing is based on the number of users and user licenses, but the product is 20% to 30% more than the competition."

"People seem to be buying the tool a lot. I think its licensing is okay."

"The solution is expensive, and I rate it a ten for pricing."
