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.

Our customer service and productivity have increased in quality and quantity since using this product

Agiloft has a great support team to help the process along. They are affordable, friendly, and knowledgeable. The tech support team acts like walking encyclopedias. They know databases and programming. After all these years, we hardly need to speak to Agiloft anymore. However, they have great customer support. Every time we need something from them, they make our small troubles go away quickly.

IT Manager at Telstra

Remote monitoring has streamlined endpoint management and consistently reduced ticket resolution time

The best features Atera offers include the per-technician pricing, which is honestly one of the biggest things. Unlimited endpoints for a flat monthly fee per tech is a model that makes sense for us, since we are not paying more every time we add a new endpoint. The AI Copilot feature has been a nice addition that helps our techs summarize tickets and suggest fixes faster, which has cut our resolution times noticeably. The AI Copilot feature has specifically helped my team because the automation handles a lot of the routine work, such as patch deployments, maintenance tasks, and monitoring alerts. Atera has positively impacted my organization by transforming how our team operates day-to-day, and the pricing model is hard to beat. The outcomes or metrics showing how Atera has made a positive impact include the 30% reduction in ticket resolution time I mentioned earlier.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"One of the most valuable features is the different possibilities it gives you to manipulate the interface screens that you're working with."

"I like all of the features, especially the MetaBot, REST API, and SAP DLL."

"Automation Anywhere has impacted our efficiency and productivity in a very positive way since we are shutting down a very manual process."

"As a solution, Automation Anywhere is complete for business users and developers."

"I'd say there are new useful features that will definitely help us as we do more development in the near future."

"AA has good coverage in terms of out-of-the-box functionality for bot development and management."

"Some of the really impactful features of working with Automation Anywhere are the ability to design and partner with their experts to come up with our solutions."

"With Automation Anywhere, our clients can get their work done fast and in an automated manner."

More Automation Anywhere pros

"This product paid for itself within the first six months of use, and after about six months, we started making a return on our investment at more than 300%."

"Our customer service and productivity have increased in quality and quantity since using this product."

"Because this product is infinitely customizable and easily developed, we are using it for other applications."

"I would say it's the number one tool for all ITMS."

"The most valuable features of this solution are automatic batch matching and unattended support access."

"Atera has saved us a lot of time."

"Atera has helped me to provide more accurate solutions based on a given problem."

"All of the features of Atera are valuable because they allow the customers to achieve their goals. It is easy to use, has good collaboration, and has zero maintenance."

"Atera saves money. A trip to the customer costs between $20 to $30. Then, you need to charge the customer $20 to $30 for the travel. However, if you are doing this work remotely, then you are not driving. This makes the process easier and saves money for you and the customer. For example, if it is just one machine, then the savings comes out to $50 to $60. If we are talking about a huge client, who has hundreds of machines and is changing their infrastructure, that is a lot of money."

"Atera has positively impacted my organization by transforming how our team operates day-to-day, and the pricing model is hard to beat."

"All corporations that have an IT department should look into and utilize this solution."

More Atera pros

Cons

"While we have been developing over time, there have been issues with stability."

"The bot scaling process was painful, when you go beyond a few bots, and because we had stability issues. We had to work through the issues, and they took us a long time."

"There is definitely some room for improvement there. It is sort of a hit and miss with their support engineers, you have some really good ones and some that aren't."

"The product should improve on Voice Recognition and IoT pretty soon, as this is the next big thing in and I would like to see this upgraded in the next release."

"Automation Anywhere should implement this feature. They should also decrease their cost."

"Vertical connecting lines would be appropriate within the code, and a collapse/expand feature for code blocks would be ideal."

"The product is not totally stable."

"We don't have an ROI in any of our processes. We are just trying it out now to see if it works. We haven't had any savings yet. We have been putting more time in than saving time at this point."

More Automation Anywhere cons

"We have found the documentation a bit confusing at times. This area could use some improvement."

"There is definitely room for improvement with its automation capabilities."

"The billing module has a standard layout which is too limited for my needs."

"The solution is scalable. However, in the past, we did have some issues."

"I would like to see more mobile device management. iPad is a big one. I know they've been working on some of that. For me, it would be amazing if I could do tablet devices and even expand it to POS systems or the like. I know that a lot goes into that but I've seen it is an area they're looking at."

"Atera could be improved by adding more granular control over technician roles. We need more specific controls on what technicians can access, like limiting their ability to view certain sections or access devices and share files. This feature request has already been made. The IP asset management capabilities need improvement to better manage assets beyond just devices."

"The mobility of Atera is also a feature which needs to be addressed so that it can be used on iPads, iPhones and things of this nature. I would also like to see an agent included on these devices so that I can monitor, maintain and manage them."

"They are working on an update, and I would like to see more stuff outside of just computers and servers. Increasingly, we need to be able to monitor and manage network devices. Atera is improving on that already, which is one place that it is currently lacking."

"While scalability meets growing needs, there haven't been many additions in the last two years."

More Atera cons

Pricing and Cost Advice

"I find the license pricing to be competitive and reflective of the pricing models throughout the RPA space, and I believe there is a lot of value in continuing to maintain the free community edition platform."

"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."

"The cost is affordable, which makes an easy barrier to entry for the RPA market."

"The pricing that we received from Automation Anywhere in the beginning was very economical for us. We've seen a lot of benefit from what we spent to what we're receiving. From the beginning, it's been a very low-cost implementation for us."

"We have seen a return of investment because it takes less time to market in our current process. I would estimate a times savings between 20 to 30 percent."

"Automation Anywhere is expensive, making it more suitable for enterprise organizations."

"Subscription for Automation Anywhere (AA) is paid yearly."

"The setup and licensing cost is affordable, and it is not exaggerated like UiPath."

More Automation Anywhere pricing and cost advice

"After about six months, we started making a return on our investment at more than 300%."

"Agiloft has by far the best entry point for both cost and learning curve."

"In terms of cost, it's not very expensive. I’d rate it around three or four out of ten, considering its value for money."

"We pay per user. I am the only user. It is $150 per user. If I need to add one, it is not as costly as expanding with other providers."

"Our company is a startup. The initial reason I looked into Atera was the fact that you pay by the technician, not per-device. That means you are able to jump right in with a service without having a large overhead."

"The solution cost approximately $200 Canadian per month."

"Atera happened to have the best pricing model."

"Atera's pricing stays fixed and predictable, enabling us to add more customers and unlimited monitored devices. We still have a number of clients who fit a break/fix IT model. This is something where clients are complaining more about having to pay extra month-by-month for technology services. With Atera's model, we don't have to be going out and asking for more from clients each month. Right now, with where we are at in terms of scale, this is very important to us."

"As an internal IT, it's gold right there. It is money in the bank."

"With Atera, the more you add, the cheaper the cost of the additional endpoints will be."
