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.

Has helped streamline ticketing and change management while offering clear documentation support
Documentation and learning materials are available for Ivanti Neurons for ITSM, and if you check the vendor sites, you will find documents for each feature. I believe that short videos should be created and uploaded for newcomers to learn quickly since time can be limited. If a user believes in Ivanti, they should also believe in all its products including Ivanti Neurons for ITSM and Neurons because they are genuinely putting in hard work. This is reflected in the documentation, though I suggest they work on creating more videos. Other than that, you will find everything you need in the community site and documentation site. On a scale of 1-10, I rate Ivanti Neurons for ITSM an 8 out of 10.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"Support for Automation Anywhere is wonderful; I had an issue related to Chrome not working with the latest update, and they helped me extensively and even came on call to support me."
"The features of the Automation Anywhere bot bring us the ability to develop automations to production quickly."
"Looking at overall feasibility from features to costing perspective, I strongly feel Automation Anywhere offers a lot of features and scalability and is a very good tool overall and people who have not tried should give a try and put some hands-on."
"With this innovative tool's automation, it is very dynamic, easy to develop, and deliver results quickly."
"Our business has seen a good return on investment with Automation Anywhere, and they are so pleased that they are requesting to add more processes."
"From an organizational perspective, it has improved how we work and determine, "Is there a better way to do things?" and, "How can we challenge the status quo?" This builds a continuous improvement mindset throughout our organization."
"There are instances where use cases and opportunities have arisen as a result of having Automation Anywhere and RPA in place that have come about through very casual conversations and have actually resulted in increased revenue opportunities that we didn't realize."
"It is easy to use and very scalable."
"Because this product is infinitely customizable and easily developed, we are using it for other applications."
"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."
"Overall, the platform, in its abilities, is really powerful, especially now with AI as a part of hyper-automation."
"Ivanti Neurons for ITSM is a key tool and is very important to my service delivery efficiency."
"They allow us to automate ticketing processes and create requests more efficiently, improving our overall support operations."
"This is an excellent alternative to ServiceNow for smaller companies."
"Primarily, I believe the focus lies on discovery, workflow configuration, and automation."
"I like Cloud Neurons. Since it's a cloud version, it's much easier to enhance productivity because it collects all the information automatically."
"The main feature for us is incident management, as it assists me in knowing my assignments because we have group assignments and when we go to the group assignment they can assign it to me there."
"HEAT Service Management is a great tool for assets, service desk, and customer service management."
 

Cons

"We would like it to be more user-friendly."
"In order to score nine or ten, they still need to provide more flexibility and integration with other tools and options."
"Automation with bots runs fine only if it is an attended bot. With unattended bots, the bots run only 25 to 30 percent of the time."
"The older versions, like version 8 and 9, were not very stable."
"Version 11 is a bit heavy. At times, it takes a toll on the computing resources. It consumes a lot for computing power. We have seen multiple instances where computers or the client has crashed because of this particular problem. Automation Anywhere can improve this a lot."
"Automation Anywhere has newly integrated the Generative AI feature. It should be more customizable. Currently, we can change certain parameters, but we would like to have the ability to do modifications within the LLM for better outputs."
"There should be a way to avoid recoding everything whenever there's an upgrade to the latest version."
"I would like to see a comment feature that allows you to embed comments/notes into an action sidebar, without having to actually take up a line of code in order to write such a statement."
"We have found the documentation a bit confusing at times. This area could use some improvement."
"I have had to open a few support tickets with the HEAT Service Management. They are very good but there are some areas that they could improve on."
"The process to add fields is time consuming and requires the system to be offline while you apply an Edit Set."
"There is room for improvement in terms of response time. The support team takes a long time to respond."
"Configuration requirements are extensive, even in basic Service Desk processes."
"There's a lack of integration with other products. This needs to be improved."
"Ivanti Neurons for ITSM's support model is not very strong. You should buy professional services. Its self-service portal and survey are extremely lacking. You cannot customize it, and it doesn't look very good. The solution does not have a strong community."
"They could provide product integration with popular platforms."
"Support needs improvement in terms of responsiveness and timeliness."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"They all are very competitive today. At the end of the day, it boils down to the negotiations that happen and what type of partner you are."
"We have seen the tangible benefits of taking monotonous work off people's plates, creating capacity, and cost reductions."
"It costs up to $1,200 per license."
"The setup cost depends on multiple factors, so you need to get details before choosing."
"Yearly, our licensing costs are about $90,000 to $100,000. There will be additional licensing costs when we add more Bot Runners to our infrastructure."
"Its cost is good."
"We have seen ROI on one of the process, but not on the other processes yet."
"Our pricing a year ago was $600 per license."
"Agiloft has by far the best entry point for both cost and learning curve."
"After about six months, we started making a return on our investment at more than 300%."
"The price is on the higher side. The support is included in the standard licensing fees."
"I came to know from my team members that my company used to operate ServiceNow but shifted to Ivanti Neurons for ITSM due to its low licensing prices."
"If you want to add more users who can handle support there will be additional fees. What we call our extensions, we need to pay more for. They tell us that we need to acquire more licenses or something like that. I think it's very expensive, because in terms the pula, our local currency, it's about 20,000 per license for each user. It is an annual fee."
"The product is affordable for small businesses."
