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

"Automation Anywhere is stable."
"Since it can be utilized 24/7, the ROI is pretty high with minimal efforts and resources by using unattended automation."
"Automation Anywhere has positively impacted my organization by providing a lot of hours and dollars saved for many business teams across the company, and it helps spark ideas for people to look at their own business processes and learn how to automate them from end to end."
"For a tool that can be fun to use and make people's job better on day one, that is the most valuable feature."
"The saving of efforts within my project has been to the tune of 20% as of now and I am sure that it will improve as we explore the tool more and automate many more processes."
"The most valuable part is that it have the integrated OCR solution within it. All the other solutions do not have the right integration of the OCR solutions. You need to go to two different places to get one solution. Whereas, in IQ Bot, there is one area where you get all these solutions together in one area. That is the most important and beautiful point that I like about IQ Bot."
"The biggest benefit of Automation Anywhere is that it makes our processes error-free. Accuracy is how you build efficiency within the system and increase productivity."
"The most valuable feature is that a job by RPA can be done three or four times faster than a human without human error."
"We were able to reduce the IT staff from 4 to 1.5 FTE, to handle the 2500/monthly requests."
"JIRA is an excellent tool that can cater to multiple needs and purposes, and the fact that we can use it for multiple tasks alone makes it scalable and very good at what it does."
"It has improved our work in a number of ways. First, it has made everything much faster. Before Jira Service Management, it could take weeks to resolve a ticket."
"The simplicity is good for our clients. The price is good."
"JIRA Service Management impacts my organization positively because it is easy to use, and everyone is happy to use it."
"Developing processes is easy and user-friendly."
"I think that one of the most valuable features is when I am typing in my question for a ticket JIRA does a search for the answer at the same time."
"The tool's stability is very good."
"We previously used ITAM, BMC Remedy and some other tools, and JIRA Service Management is comparatively better."
 

Cons

"Pricing is too high for small-scale groups. The Control Room yearly fee is high, making it difficult to break even."
"To achieve a perfect ten, I would want to see new features working as expected and further advancements in automation."
"Automation Anywhere should improve its OCR capabilities."
"We could use more accuracy with IQ Bot."
"With the automation copilot, if I have any internal tool or application and I want to pass on variables, I don't have it. Maybe the team can work on it to make it more efficient to make it work better across all automations."
"Getting the bot design into the developer's hands is taking longer than we initially anticipated."
"There are some business areas for which this tool is not capable of doing, such as in the areas of graphically-based input."
"I feel that document extraction like IQ Bot can be made more refined so that it may reach its full potential."
"The GUI looks a little dated."
"The documentation needs improving, it's difficult to find specific procedures."
"JIRA Service could benefit from improvements to its voice support. We need to have quick customer care implementation for anyone trying to connect."
"Integration could be improved."
"The search function could be improved. We have to search a certain way. There is no generic search; it is more object-oriented search."
"There should be better connections with access management. They should improve the connectivity."
"An AI feature that enables automation and alerts for users can be an improvement."
"I think there are other IT ticketing tools that are better in terms of routing or workflows than Jira Service Desk."
"JSD has some analytics, but it's pretty much basic and simple dashboards. There's no mobile application for JSD. It really would benefit from better implementation with other vendors. We're heavily reliant on some external marketplace applications."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"We would like them to change the license model of charging per bot."
"Price is where I'm least satisfied. Other vendors are more willing to offer discounts."
"Our pricing a year ago was $600 per license."
"UiPath is exceptionally more expensive than Automation Anywhere. UiPath is far ahead of its competition, but in terms of finances, Automation Anywhere offers better value and is more effective for organizations seeking cost-effective solutions."
"It is not cheap, but we are able to get an ROI."
"Our annual licensing costs are around $100,000 a year."
"I am not involved in the pricing, but based on what I hear from our central RPA team, it is not very expensive; it is also not cheap. Its price is in the midrange."
"Annual licensing costs would be about $100,000."
Information not available
"I would suggest to always buy licenses through an Atlassian partner, so you can also rely on their expertise."
"It is a cheaply priced product."
"The price of JIRA Service Management could be reduced."
"The price of the solution is becoming expensive and it should be reduced."
"We need a license because we have a higher number than the free part."
"We may upgrade the license that we have. The license that we currently have is good for 500 agents, and it's not full yet."
"It is one of the premium products on the market, but it is very costly, especially in the Indian market."
"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."
