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.

Directly integrates with AWS, interface functions are great and it's all in one package
I like that Honeycode directly integrates with AWS as it reduced the friction in setting up the back end. When I started working with Honeycode, I didn't have the resources to set up a server and go internally within the company so it was helpful to be able to create an account, start coding, and get the job done. The interface functions are great. Everything I needed to do was in one package. It's invaluable for small companies that are starting out and don't have a huge amount of resources.

Structured workflows have improved SLA compliance and now support prioritized incident handling
I think the licensing and pricing of ServiceNow is quite expensive compared to other tools. For large organizations, it is acceptable, but specifically for small and medium organizations to track incidents or change requests, ServiceNow is quite expensive. Sometimes performance can be slow when workflows and integrations are configured for complex tasks. For advanced customizations or advanced features which we rarely use, the documentation is not up to standard. The documentation needs to be improved for advanced customization features. However, the platform is stable overall and the features are quite good. The user experience and performance concerns I mentioned are areas I want to be improved. When many workflows and interactions are configured, performance is slow. For the features it is providing, it is quite expensive. If these performance features are improved, we can easily pay that price and get the return on investment.

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 the error handler, as this command has helped me design bots that can handle multiple errors and exceptions."
"IQ Bot is the most important feature and it has been extensively used by our clients."
"Many of our tasks are automated using AA and due to ease in handling, it becomes the first choice in terms of RPA tool."
"Just for this use case, we had around 300 tickets coming in every month. We went live last month and the tickets went down to around 80 as of August 20th. While it might touch around 100, over a period of around six months it will become zero because we have not removed all the legacy data. We are just doing it from the go date of when we went live. The target is that it will be zero after three months. So, it's working well."
"In finance, it has helped us deliver on productivity and provided us with FTE savings."
"On average, the return that I've seen is about three dollars for every dollar spent on RPA."
"The impact of Automation Anywhere on our organization has been significant; it has helped us save a considerable amount of time, approximately 30% to 40%, in repetitive processes and has improved automation accuracy."
"Using automation, these processes are completed in between one and two hours, using one robot, and with these savings in time, the staff can do more in other areas, improving productivity and creativity while reducing the need for overtime and positively impacting the company overall."
"Great having everything in one package; invaluable for companies without huge resources."
"I would recommend this solution because I make good use of it."
"Ninety percent of the time the people that respond to the high tickets that we open are really knowledgeable and solve our questions within a week."
"The solution has very good automation tools."
"I would recommend it and I love this tool."
"ServiceNow has impacted our organization very positively, and we are improving day by day."
"It's filling a niche I think a lot of people have really, really wanted which is bringing a lot of this information into one central location."
"ServiceNow can be used for service requests and change management."
"The flow designer for application development is the most valuable. The newest version of flow designer allows us to develop applications quite fast. We can have custom and mobile applications. It has an interface for mobiles, and it also has a good reputation."
 

Cons

"The biggest challenge in attended automation, every time the agent has to log in to the control room and execute bot for most of the agents this is a time-consuming activity plus they are not tech-savvy."
"I would like to see more complex use cases coming out for our industry."
"The A2019 in early releases had been quite unstable to our experience."
"The accuracy in Web Recorder needs to be improved, defective outputs found most of the time (not sure if is a website side issue)."
"Some things that I do not see as of today are interactive chat or video interface. These are things that I will look for in future. I saw something like picture recognition, but something like a video or voice recognition is something that I'm looking for in the Automation Anywhere platform as an end user and even as a reseller."
"My experience has been that if the person who codes the bot is not very well-trained, then they might create unstable bots."
"Technical support is not very good and they sometimes promise what they cannot deliver. They promised us that they would implement multitrigger and according to sources delivery of that functionality is not in their plans."
"Automation Anywhere is easy to use, even if you lack technical skills. People without deep technical expertise can easily develop scenarios."
"It's not possible to significantly differentiate some of the UI elements."
"With ServiceNow, you have to do a lot of manipulation ahead of time to get to what that end state is."
"I would like the reporting aspect to be better, including the graphs."
"Vulnerability management could be improved."
"While ServiceNow has many options, the number of options can sometimes be confusing regarding where to click or how things work, as it is based on configuration provided by the administrator."
"Probably the backlog organization could be a little bit easier in terms of transversality between different squads."
"ServiceNow is such a complex piece of software. It's trying to be everything."
"The big area of improvement that I see is in the licensing model for the CreateNow app."
"The biggest hassle we have for ServiceNow has been licensing."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"I am not responsible for the pricing part, but I know the pricing is competitive compared to other tools."
"Automation Anywhere might have a higher upfront cost than some competitors, but its extensive features and seamless integration with other tools can save organizations money in the long run."
"Initially, they charged a premium, but now the rest of the vendors have increased their overall pricing and Automation Anywhere is not that high at this time. It's pretty viable."
"Automation Anywhere is expensive, making it more suitable for enterprise organizations."
"Automation Anywhere is costlier than the general competition. That is aligned with the share of the market it has."
"The licensing fees are approximately $10,000 USD for between five and ten users."
"Price is where I'm least satisfied. Other vendors are more willing to offer discounts."
"IQ Bots are very costly. It's not a sustainable bot for us as of now. We will look for better, alternate options for that."
Information not available
"Certainly, from a product-platform perspective, the price is not too bad."
"There is an annual subscription to use this solution."
"For the modules we use, we found it competitive. I can't think of any costs in addition to the licensing fees."
"The price is okay for us. It's reasonable."
"The mandatory minimum is US$ 20,000 for licensing."
"The license model is based on a number of fulfillers (active users who play some role within the ServiceNow functionality). Therefore, you can serve as many end-users as you want, without additional costs."
"ServiceNow tends to be a little bit more expensive as compared to BMC Helix ITSM."
"The licenses are expensive."
