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

"Our primary use has been to automate a few mundane tasks in the organization, which really helped us in this COVID situation, easing everyone's tasks, ensuring they were completed on time and without errors, keeping our customers happy, and enabling our vendors to help us meet customer satisfaction without compromising on anything."
"By automating processes we give back valuable hours to business stakeholders, which can be spent on value-adding activities instead of repetitive tasks."
"Automation Anywhere lets us do that, as users can develop the bots by themselves."
"The training and resources for this tool are very good, they are so simple that anyone can easily learn it, and one of the tool values is its ease of use."
"We are working with one of the bots where we send claims through WhatsApp. Any user could take a photo in WhatsApp, then send that data to the organization. Now, whenever a photo is takes, different phones have different primary resolutions, and the data being captured is not clear data. At that moment, the data is automated to a very power system which centralizes the process to one point. This is what we are using for the insurance provider. They fill out the claims form and send this information to the organization, then we use automation tools to automate the process and come to a conclusion."
"The most valuable feature is the task bots because we found that cognitive functionality can be improvised."
"It helps in improving employee productivity, morale, and retention, as automation removes the tedious parts of work and frees up often stretched-thin employees for more meaningful and creative work."
"One of the most valuable features is object cloning, the ability to get into websites and do things faster."
"Our customer service and productivity have increased in quality and quantity since using this product."
"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."
"The most valuable features of Zoho Desk are archiving queries and analytics."
"The initial setup is easy."
"Zoho Desk offers a wide range of features that allow integration with different systems, enhancing ease of use."
"The integration part is a valuable feature in the solution, especially if we're talking about Zoho One solution. Zoho Desk is easy to integrate with Zoho platform."
"The most valuable features of Zoho Desk are the user interface, pricing, and how they customize the solution for us."
"The ticketing feature is very easy to use, compared to other systems."
"The most valuable feature of Zoho Desk is the parent and child task management feature."
"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

"To improve the product, one aspect that Automation Anywhere can work on is archiving legacy data effectively. Currently, data older than current versions remains on the server, slowing the system down."
"The setup process is not easy compared to the competition, and this can be a barrier to entry."
"One way Automation Anywhere can be improved is in ticketing."
"When I change the name of a variable in the Variable Manager, I would really like it to change in the code."
"The expectations of what we thought was possible, versus what appears to be possible, were a little bit off."
"The areas that need improvement are the license management, user access permission, user role access management, and technical support."
"What I don't like about Automation Anywhere is that its troubleshooting tools need to be improved because they usually take a long time to solve problems as they come up."
"We want it to work with more APIs. It needs to integrate with multiple APIs. That would be something that I would like going forward."
"We have found the documentation a bit confusing at times. This area could use some improvement."
"Sometimes, the solution has some email issues in a new data center."
"I would like to have integrated support, and integration between the ticketing tool and the project management tool."
"Could have slightly better integration between additional functionalities in the Zoho desk."
"Zoho Desk needs to be enhanced to support IT service management policies."
"There is room for improvement with the pricing."
"The main concern is the pricing of Zoho Desk, as I consider it to be on the expensive side."
"Zoho Desk could be improved by making it multi-tenant, as it is currently not suitable for service providers with multiple customers."
"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."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"We save approximately 10,000 hours per year."
"They are already coming out with a community license, which is really good. That's something that I wish to have."
"It saves on the quality of work, because the quality can be bad when somebody's doing it. If a bot does the work, it's faster and comes with good quality. These are two important things along with the cost saving in the long run. That's where the value is."
"Although the initial implementation cost of Automation Anywhere is relatively high compared to other options, its annual subscription cost is lower than UiPath's, which has the opposite pricing structure."
"Time-wise: We have saved hundreds of thousands of hours."
"I do not know the price, but I am told that it is cheaper than UiPath."
"The major reason that we selected Automation Anywhere was the licensing model."
"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."
"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 gap is limited, but it should limit the price back bracket so that most start-ups can use it most effectively."
"Zoho Desk is a cost-effective solution."
"The solution is relatively cheap. However, there are additional licensing fees involved."
"Zoho Desk's pricing is more flexible."
"The product costs $10 to $25 per user per month."
"The pricing is better than Zendesk. Zendesk charges in USD per user per month, whereas Zoho let us pay in Naira (Nigerian currency)."
"Price-wise, Zoho Desk is about 35 USD a month per user."
"Regarding pricing, it's 35 USD per user a year and 45 USD per user a month. Under the price, I have access to all Zoho products since it all falls under Zoho One's package."
