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.

We use it for handling requests. It has reduced the IT staff required.
Handling requests - Technical service requests: hardware, software not working - Account requests: new/modify account requests to various systems - Software requests: of all types from our staff - IT related assets: hardware controlled by IT - All types of technical abuse complaints: ie copyright - Surveys about the follow-through of the staff to requests entered in the system

Comprehensive workflows and data views have supported complex teams but still need cost improvements
JIRA Service Management is costly. The pricing structure needs improvement. When I add some plugins, I have to pay the cost for every user whether they are using it or not. For smaller companies, the detailed workflow editing and the kind of details that JIRA Service Management provides would be complex. For startups and smaller companies, JIRA Service Management would be complex. The cloud offering is easier because I don't have to manage the infrastructure. There are two templates of the project: company-managed and team-managed. Team-managed is a newer feature, which is good for startup-kind companies where they don't need control over data from multiple projects displaying in one dashboard. For startups, JIRA Service Management is somewhat complex with its schemes and everything. Capacity management should be improved in terms of additional features in the next release of JIRA Service Management.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The ROI is very good because the output is very accurate and the speed is very fast."
"The bot creation process is relatively simple."
"In general, when you set up the cloud solution, it's very, very easy."
"The product has saved us a lot of time by reducing manually tasks, like entering data into Excel."
"Movement on cloud architecture according to me provided by AA2019, will be most beneficial as it will be easy to use and will provide flexibility."
"In version 11.3, they have a good security option. Tool-wise, it's pretty good to work on Automation Anywhere. If you compare it to other tools in the industry. It is very user-friendly and easy to develop processes. We liking using it very much."
"We were able to replace a lot of the manual and data entry workload that our accounts payable clerks were doing, and the work that was done before by this original group can now be done by four people."
"What I appreciate most about Automation Anywhere is the ease of use. Everything is easy to set up. I also appreciate the extensibility that it has."
"We were able to reduce the IT staff from 4 to 1.5 FTE, to handle the 2500/monthly requests."
"Easily integrates with other tools."
"We get software developed faster."
"The most valuable features of JIRA Service Management are the service level agreement or management, and the ticketing system. Additionally, there are frequent updates that provide improvements."
"I think one of the most valuable things is that it's all integrated, because between the Wiki and the product itself, whenever someone is typing in an error, it automatically pops up a solution."
"JSM's pricing is one of the best, starting at around $10 per user, per month, with volume discounts available."
"It is 100% stable."
"Jira Service Management has a workflow feature you can configure for your specific requirements. It also lets you efficiently manage service requests with team members."
"Auditing team uses this solution to track audit findings and follow-up."
 

Cons

"The assign value function is not there in the A2019 Community edition, which makes it hard for a developer to manipulate the data."
"They can provide more features for desktop application automation. They don't have extensive capabilities for automating desktop applications."
"They should consider being more multi-platform."
"Sometimes, the recorder from Automation Anywhere does not work well and is inaccurate. This should be improved."
"There's potential for Automation Anywhere to integrate conversational types of tools and AI into their tool set, which would be really valuable."
"Automation Anywhere can be improved by integrating self-correction capabilities into the bots, particularly as we develop RPA, where changes in environment paths require additional redeveloping efforts."
"The quality and speed of Automation Anywhere's support need significant improvement."
"The solution is costly and the licensing is very confusing."
"The GUI looks a little dated."
"I would like to see the user interface changed, it is not very user-friendly, and it transitions workflows."
"The way it handles subtasks can be improved. We would really like the ability to have different types of subtasks."
"Instability happens sometimes - although not frequently."
"The platform should be more user-friendly. JIRA's user interface needs training to understand and utilize."
"We decided to move away from JIRA Service Management to Azure because we felt it wasn't properly organized."
"In the Turkish market, the biggest problem is that they are looking for a server type of solution, but when it comes to Jira Service Management, Atlassian is a remote type of license. There are just two different options, data center and cloud."
"What needs to be added in Jira Service Management is the user screen. You'll find it very weird if this is your first time using the solution. The user-friendliness of its interface needs improvement."
"Service Management currently lacks an asset management module that can make deployment more difficult."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"I advise others that even as of right now, the setup cost and licensing cost to automate bots on Automation Anywhere is steep but it is worth the investment!"
"The current pricing for Automation Anywhere seems a little higher compared to competitors Power Automate or UiPath. Automation Anywhere is perceived as pricey due to the support model charges ranging from 20% to 30% based on the plans."
"They are already coming out with a community license, which is really good. That's something that I wish to have."
"We have saved time and money using this solution."
"It is reasonable, but it can always be a little bit cheaper."
"Our licensing costs are setup on an annual basis."
"It is the most economically friendly and it provides you with a lot of functions."
"It depends. For example, for my group, we are centralizing the infrastructure in Paris. Our contract is signed with Automation Anywhere in France. The currency and the pricing of Automation Anywhere in France can appear beneficial and interesting for Germany and Scandinavian countries, but when we share our infra and are internally charging other countries such as Poland, Brazil, or some other country with a lower currency value as compared to Euro, it becomes less beneficial. They would prefer to sign the contract directly with Automation Anywhere because they will benefit from a price that is as per their local market."
Information not available
"It depends on the number of users but it starts at $20 per month per user. I would rate them a three out of five for pricing."
"I would suggest to always buy licenses through an Atlassian partner, so you can also rely on their expertise."
"It is one of the premium products on the market, but it is very costly, especially in the Indian market."
"Buying a software solution is only a half part of the solution (or even less). You need to optimize usage of the software by hiring professionals who will help you to make the most of the software, especially in the beginning."
"I am using the free version, but my clients are paying for it. When they start, they evaluate it for 30 days, and after seeing the value, they move to its paid version."
"On a scale of one to five, with one being really high and five being good, I would rate the price of this solution as a four."
"I rate Service Management four out of 10 for affordability. The price could be better, especially for companies using more than one Atlassian product. It's suitable for SMBs that can afford it. I don't think there's another tool that's both better and cheaper. All help desk tools are relatively expensive."
"I price of JIRA Service Management is reasonable."
