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

Enterprise Solutions & Services Head at Duroob Technology
A fairly stable solution that’s highly mature, but has a poor user interface
The solution does not align as modern service solutions do. Seamless integration is no available among the processes. Their service management application needs a lot of work. It’s in a really bad state right now. They brought on a new interface that clumped all the processes and features of the solution into one. Still, it’s not really compatible with other solutions. Because of this, its rating has dropped in Gardner. The solution needs to improve its reporting features. The user interface needs a lot of improvements. The product needs to implement a cloud platform solution, which is lacking so far. Their workflow engine is still segregated. It’s not embedded. If you need to do some workflow approvals, you cannot do them directly on the service desk. You have to go into Outlook and do an approval or you have to go in through another screen to handle the approval because the workflow engine they have is a separate product.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"By implementing it, we were able to solve the issue of automation, which we had almost given up on."
"There is a very accelerated learning curve on the platform."
"The most valuable feature of Automation Anywhere is the ease with which it integrates with our existing APIs."
"Automation Anywhere is stable."
"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 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."
"With Automation Anywhere, it has become very easy for us to do invoice billing. It has saved us about 80% of the time."
"AI governance is very important in my company, and we are implementing it now."
"We were able to reduce the IT staff from 4 to 1.5 FTE, to handle the 2500/monthly requests."
"This is the best product for Large Infrastructure companies/organizations to monitor their infrastructures/servers etc."
"It provides us with a very easy and flexible UI for CA Nimsoft Service Desk 7."
"It’s provided self-service and automation, notifications, and reporting, and it’s good on a day-to-day and macro perspective."
"Improved the effectiveness of my Service Desk Team and improved the SLA timing."
"It's quite a complete entry into the SaaS ITSM market with a reasonable price point."
"The ability to add Additional Information Screens on the fly."
"The solution is a highly mature product, and because of this, it can stand up to any other product on the market."
"Essential service management solution all in one, like 100- for service request, 200- for change request, 300- for incidents, 400- for problems."
 

Cons

"The areas in which the product and service must be improved are in the government sector and ministries such as the Ministry of Education and Health."
"The product needs to catch up to the promise of known technology and apply more intelligent behaviors concerning AI or unstructured learning."
"The version that we are using has been difficult for us to code. As changes are very frequent, we have to make sure the code can be updated automatically so we don't have to make a change every time a user makes a change. Then, the user doesn't have to update us and we don't have to push a change to production. We have found a workaround with the help of the Automation Anywhere support people for this."
"Several competing products now offer superior functionality compared to Automation Anywhere's current capabilities."
"I would like to have a bot as a service platform on AA Cloud. This would minimize the installation process, and we wouldn't need to have all the hardware to support the platform in-house."
"Automation Anywhere is unable to connect to the database directly."
"If the option were available to use the old generic-style variable type, it would be helpful."
"With Oracle and ServiceNow, there seem to be challenges. With SAP, it worked very well."
"The GUI looks a little dated."
"The deployment was very difficult to handle. It's an unnecessarily difficult process that requires third-party assistance to do correctly."
"I think they could update some of the interface. It doesn't look as pretty as some of the other ones."
"When tickets are closed occasionally, it is quite hard to reopen it, which will cause lost-tickets."
"The solution needs to improve its reporting features. The user interface needs a lot of improvements."
"Actually this product and its limitations reduced the Service Desk effectiveness compared to the product we were using."
"Their service management application needs a lot of work."
"I would love to see better two-factor authentication as that would really help us and make a big difference."
"Few probes need improvement in their function and the way they get deployed for monitoring."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"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."
"Regarding the price, licensing, and maintenance, Automation Anywhere provides its customers with its best and affordable value."
"We have seen ROI on one of the process, but not on the other processes yet."
"We have established a CoE and we take our bot opportunities based on their ROIs. The best ROI opportunity goes to development first. Our ROI opportunities are compliance, profitable growth, productivity enhancements, productivity gains, number of hours the productivity saved, and resources not available that the work can be done by the bot. However, the single most important criteria that we use to measure ROI is how much time does the bot cut down from an analyst's work, as this has the best ROI. E.g., if an analyst is spending a 100 hours of work that a bot can do in one hour, we calculate the 99 hours saved as ROI."
"Automation Anywhere is expensive, making it suitable only for enterprise organizations."
"Automation Anywhere falls within a mid-range price point when compared to other RPA tools on the market."
"Based on what I've heard, it's costly, but I don't know much about its pricing."
"Annually, we are paying almost one million reais."
