SAP Signavio support is generally effective with rapid responses, but some users desire more consistency and cloud transition focus.
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.
I would rate their technical support a ten.
 

Scalability Issues

Automation Anywhere offers scalable, flexible solutions with centralized management, seamless integration, and efficient resource optimization for cloud and on-premises environments.
Sentiment score
7.5
SAP Signavio Process Manager is scalable and adaptable, supporting diverse projects efficiently with seamless deployment and easy user management.
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.
 

Stability Issues

Sentiment score
7.1
Automation Anywhere's stability improves with setup and management but faces challenges with upgrades, complex scenarios, and legacy integrations.
Sentiment score
7.6
SAP Signavio Process Manager is praised for stability, high ratings, and quick bug fixes, ensuring reliable performance and user satisfaction.
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.
If you have good best practices, reusable code, an effective framework, and a solid development methodology, bots can be 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 Manager needs UI updates, more ERP integration, enhanced features, and improved stability, documentation, and multilingual support.
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.
 

Setup Cost

Automation Anywhere's pricing is high, with potential discounts, but clarity and licensing improvements are needed for small businesses.
SAP Signavio Process Manager offers competitive pricing, flexible licensing, and comprehensive services despite increased costs post-SAP acquisition.
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.
After SAP acquired Signavio, the prices increased significantly, making it too expensive for our small company to afford.
 

Valuable Features

Automation Anywhere offers user-friendly automation with cognitive tools, seamless integration, and scalability for efficient task management and productivity.
SAP Signavio Process Manager optimizes workflows with intuitive features, collaboration tools, and seamless integration, supporting efficient process mapping.
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.
The ability to perform queries is a feature unique to SAP Signavio Process Manager, and it proves to be very useful for our needs.

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.
Enas Selim - PeerSpot reviewer
Transforming banking process documentation with effective collaboration tools
The free trial needs to have more options for end users, such as including Process Intelligence as a trial version. Although mentioned on the website, the governance feature is not available in the free trial. More guidance from support is also needed, as users can get lost on the website when looking for specific features.
