Venkat Sivaprakash - PeerSpot reviewer
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.

Prioritizes tasks and easily organizes messages and responses
I've not really noticed anything that needs to be improved with the solution. Generally, I enjoyed everything. Every feature LiveAgent has was a seamless journey for me. Maybe there are others who might notice one or two flaws on LiveAgent. I use LiveAgent, but based on my position in the company as a live chat professional, there is a level that I am restricted to. There are other products that are more popular and effective than LiveAgent, like Zendesk and HubSpot. They are among the most popular live chat products, and they have more users. I will advise that LiveAgent should look at what these other people are doing and use it to improve themselves. LiveAgent should add more functionalities.

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 object cloning, the ability to get into websites and do things faster."
"It helps increase productivity by 20% to 30%."
"Automation Anywhere has made it very easy for you to install, they've got the tools to make it very simple for you to create a quick, small application and to get out there."
"We can do automation for some complex issues."
"It reduced cost and effort significantly; yearly, our organization saved $14,000, the company started to save more, and increased efficiency in the field of automation then started to pioneer."
"One of the benefits my organization has seen from these features is productivity in two ways: I am able to save a lot of time because of the automation, I do not need manual intervention anymore as manual intervention has been cut down by ten to fifteen percent, and the productivity gains have been substantial."
"We have used support a few times for one of our customers, and they respond quickly. If the issue involves a critical production system, they respond to the request on the same day."
"We have an automation that we just put in production where we are doing a double-blind quality review, and the bot is comparing the two entries and kicking out a large number of exceptions for human review, so we have saved a large number of hours every day by not having humans look at things that match."
"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%."
"Because this product is infinitely customizable and easily developed, we are using it for other applications."
"Our customer service and productivity have increased in quality and quantity since using this product."
"The most valuable feature was how the solution helped us to prioritize tasks."
"My experience with LiveAgent so far has been a seamless one."
"I like that this solution provides the history and control over every process connected to a building so we can see everything that's happened since we started using this solution."
"Provides service level optimization."
 

Cons

"They could improve around continuous integration, e.g., Jenkins and GitHub, stating how you could use those products and integrating them into Automation Anywhere."
"The OCR component should allow integration with 3rd party OCR. This way we can use the best of breed solution along with AA or allow better control over OCR packages to be customized."
"These guys need to build a good team."
"The expectations of what we thought was possible, versus what appears to be possible, were a little bit off."
"We do not have the AI Agent Studio feature of Automation Anywhere available yet in our government GCC environment."
"The focus on usability and user experience is bang on. Addressing several personas and making it easy for every persona to adopt and embrace is the spot on focus. That's an area that has a lot more room to improve. In the absence of that, the skills and expertise in the industry are going to struggle and if you need broader adoption, which has maximum potential, the persona-based user experience is a focus and I'd say Automation Anywhere is already working on."
"If you work with image recognition and custom objects, there are stability issues."
"There could be more training provided by Automation Anywhere."
"We have found the documentation a bit confusing at times. This area could use some improvement."
"Connection to other softwares could be improved."
"I'd like to see an improved API to the system, rather than other softwares having to trigger everything."
"There are other products that are more popular and effective than LiveAgent, like Zendesk and HubSpot."
"There are other products that are more popular."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The pricing strategy for us is one license for development. It is more complicated than that depending on the options you choose."
"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."
"Our annual licensing costs for the entire company are $100,000."
"When I started working on it, it was difficult to obtain a trial version (barrier to entry). Now, they have a Community Edition, which may make it easy to get started."
"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!"
"Time and monetary savings can range from 20 to 90 percent."
"The cost for scalability is much cheaper than developing a new system."
"Annually, we are paying almost one million reais."
"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."
