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.

Efficient integration enhances customer insights and communication
The integration between Zoho CRM, Zoho Desk, and Zoho Projects is very good. One of the key features of Zoho CRM is the ability to record telephone calls using AI. The AI tool, Tele Zia, translates calls into bullet points, providing insights such as when to send emails or contact the customer based on previous conversations.

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 strengths of Automation Anywhere is its user-friendly interface, which makes it accessible even to those without a development background."
"The most valuable feature of Automation Anywhere right now is its low-code, no-code framework, which allows us to build a lot of templates that are both repeatable and reusable over time."
"We have increased our productivity internally by using RPA with our employees who are completing the same tasks every day."
"Time-wise: We have saved hundreds of thousands of hours."
"It is really helpful that this solution is deployed in the cloud."
"The Control Room for the bots and its ability to connect bots with APIs are the most valuable features."
"By combining Automation Anywhere and Appian together, we have been able to build a bot that works with Appian workflows to manage all our employees."
"AA RPA has drastically reduced speed of execution and thus turn around time of processes, ensuring all service level agreements are met and our customers get a great experience."
"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."
"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%."
"It is a scalable platform."
"The product is quite stable."
"The deployment process is swift, typically taking just one day, and includes customization and automation setup."
"The tool has made support very flexible and strong. We can use chat boxes and auto-responses. If someone creates a ticket, it will be created in Zoho Desk's ticket module. We can get emails and respond to them within the product. We don't need a support email product to manage emails. We can easily manage it within Zoho Desk. The tool's interface is good since it updated the layout three months ago and the current interface is more effective."
"The solution doesn't have any bugs."
"Zoho Desk is very flexible, just like the other applications of Zoho."
"The most valuable feature of generating the ticket through the web form and for the e-mailers. So, if you are facing any issues, by the ticket, you can generate the issue in Google Test."
"The tool's UI is very user-friendly. The solution's workflow is flexible and we can create our workflows. We can assign and create groups with the tool. We are also able to control the privileges with the tool."
 

Cons

"I would like the ability to extract the code. You can go line by line, then open up each line of code and dig into the details, but it would be nice to extract all of the lines of code and all of the details into a document so we could read through everything. Right now, there is no way to really consume all of the code at once, except line by line, which can be fairly time consuming if we don't really know what we are looking for."
"Version 11 is a bit heavy. At times, it takes a toll on the computing resources."
"Giving access to our internal websites was not simple during the initial setup."
"We have in-house, a few variables, which we use from technical perspectives. We don't have them in Automation Anywhere, but they introduced them yesterday."
"There is limited scope for complex decision-making. For instance, a bot can extract invoice details, but it cannot determine if an invoice is fraudulent without AI integration."
"We have had some difficulty with ease of use. In addition, we have had some difficulties getting it to interact in predictable ways with our in-house software."
"One area where I can see room for improvement is the training material that is available."
"In A2019 it does not display the exact running status, but rather it displays the previous one."
"We have found the documentation a bit confusing at times. This area could use some improvement."
"Zoho Desk should provide more integrations and improve the Zoho project integration."
"The customization of modules and some blueprint in the solution are areas with shortcomings that need improvement."
"Could have slightly better integration between additional functionalities in the Zoho desk."
"There is room for improvement with the pricing."
"Sometimes support is available according to their time slots and they can't fulfill everything I need them to. They give us a time slot but it's not always enough."
"Zoho Desk lacks lookup fields for the layouts."
"They could enhance the product’s features to customize the automated email responses."
"The solution urgently needs improvement in the display's night mode. When we use the system for a long time, it's very stressful for our eyes. I also need to see improvements that can help to find the assets under a previous owner."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"In terms of pricing, this is a good product."
"The price of Automation Anywhere is a little higher than some of the competition, such as UiPath. However, depending on the use case and other factors we are able to receive some discounts."
"The licensing fees are approximately $10,000 USD for between five and ten users."
"The price for Automation Anywhere is reasonable."
"On a scale of one to ten with ten being the most expensive, I rate the price of Automation Anywhere an eight out of ten."
"Their licensing processes are in par with most industry standards."
"It saves me around $100,000 a year."
"In the Indian market, I feel that for mid-size companies, such as ourselves, that having multiple bots costs a lot. If Automation Anywhere wants to expand in the Indian market, they will need to look at their pricing."
"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%."
"Zoho Desk's pricing is more flexible."
"The product costs $10 to $25 per user per month."
"Price-wise, Zoho Desk is about 35 USD a month per user."
"For what it does, it's quite cheap."
"The solution is relatively cheap. However, there are additional licensing fees involved."
"The solution costs INR 8400 per user."
"The pricing is better than Zendesk. Zendesk charges in USD per user per month, whereas Zoho let us pay in Naira (Nigerian currency)."
"Zoho Desk's cost is pretty much okay."
