Sentiment score
5.5
SAP Signavio's customer support varies; users praise expertise but desire faster, dedicated assistance for distinct modules.
Whenever we need help, we can reach out to them, and they help us out.
We also have dedicated account managers and technical experts to solve our problems related to Automation Anywhere.
We just have to raise a ticket, after which we receive a call, email, or ping from the Automation Anywhere team.
Ideally, there should be separate support for different modules, particularly for organizations using several different SAP products.
 

Scalability Issues

Sentiment score
7.5
Automation Anywhere offers scalable automation with seamless cloud integration, supporting diverse processes and rapid expansion across environments.
Sentiment score
6.1
SAP Signavio Process Intelligence is scalable and adaptable, but opinions vary on expansion ease due to structural constraints.
As we are using Microsoft Copilot for our AI agents, I look forward to integrating it with Automation Anywhere and its solutions, seeing it as a beneficial partnership as Automation progresses toward AI as the main solution.
For Windows-based applications, it provides UI interface automation, which enhances its scalability.
Automation Anywhere is highly scalable for both horizontal and vertical expansions.
Due to its inability to support multi-event logs, I have to re-extract data even if it already exists, leading to duplication.
 

Stability Issues

Sentiment score
7.1
Automation Anywhere shows improved stability and reliability, with occasional challenges in integration or system dependencies noted by users.
Sentiment score
8.0
SAP Signavio Process Intelligence is stable, despite occasional outages, with users generally rating its performance highly across environments.
With the latest applications, there are no significant issues like freezing or crashing.
From a stability and reliability perspective, we can remain confident that the product performs as an enterprise solution and meets expected standards.
The platform runs smoothly, and the deployment process is user-friendly in both UAT and production environments.
Regarding the stability of SAP Signavio Process Intelligence, I would give it a 10, as I find there are no stability issues.
Regarding stability, there are no complaints as it is very stable.
 

Room For Improvement

Automation Anywhere users seek enhanced cost-effectiveness, better integrations, improved stability, robust support, and user-friendly interfaces for optimal functionality.
SAP Signavio Process Intelligence faces challenges in usability, integration, feature limitations, and needs improvements in AI, blockchain, and pricing.
It is better to write a Python script instead of using Automation Anywhere's package when dealing with Excel because it is buggy and tends to break.
Making the product more lightweight by reducing its dependency on infrastructure could greatly help in the long run.
It would be beneficial if the platform provided options for power developers to integrate seamlessly with languages like Java or C#, allowing them to write their own scripts and code.
It would be helpful if they have their e-learning content segregated for different roles—for example, training specific to business users, training for leads, and training for consultants and analysts who are going to work on the tool as developers.
We recently did an analysis in which we were almost going to pay 10 times the cost of a normal process mining tool if we used SAP Signavio.
They should work on their networks and improve their servers because SAP Signavio Process Intelligence is in use more nowadays, resulting in busy servers.
 

Setup Cost

Automation Anywhere's pricing suits enterprises with flexible negotiations, but high costs deter small businesses, especially for advanced features.
SAP Signavio pricing is complex and non-transparent, with potential high costs, especially for non-SAP processes and large organizations.
It is more cost-efficient compared to all other RPA platforms.
Automation Anywhere costs are aligned with UiPath and Blue Prism, which are also expensive.
It is not cheap, with costs ranging between 700 to 800 dollars per month.
If it is an SAP process, it becomes a little cheaper, but if it is a non-SAP process, then it becomes highly expensive.
 

Valuable Features

Automation Anywhere offers user-friendly automation with cognitive tools, seamless integration, and scalability for efficient task management and productivity.
SAP Signavio Process Intelligence seamlessly integrates process tools, enhancing insights and decision-making with strong SAP module integration and user-friendly features.
I can set it up to provide users with a form to fill in all required information, and then the bot operates based on those specifications.
For example, the email module has been enhanced over the years to support all the latest authentication technologies. That is very important as we move away from username and password and embrace multi-factor authentication.
Automation Anywhere has undergone drastic changes over the past five years, transitioning from version 10 to A360, including desktop-based and cloud-based options.
SAP Signavio Process Intelligence has an upper hand compared to other solutions because the integration from other software is far better in SAP.
The best feature of SAP Signavio Process Intelligence is that it is not just Process Intelligence; it's a complete suite that comes with insights and mapping.
SAP Signavio Process Intelligence is just one of the modules of SAP Signavio, and there are approximately four to five modules that are interconnected, giving us a 360-degree view of your organization's digital twin, which is really helpful.

Vatsal Mehta - PeerSpot reviewer
Accommodates diverse use cases and effectively meets customer requirements
AI agents need further improvements. AI agent technology in agentic process automation is still evolving. We have only scratched the surface, and there are many potential use cases yet to be explored. As technology advances, I believe it will enable us to implement more comprehensive automation solutions. Document Automation has issues related to speed. When I compare Document Automation with IQ Bot, IQ Bot is faster than Document Automation. My understanding is that they are still evolving Document Automation, and this issue of slowness will be resolved in the upcoming .35 version, so we are good with that. They are working on signature identification and validations for handwritten documents. Currently, we are able to extract data out of scanned but digital images, but there is still scope for improvement for handwritten documents.
