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.

Low-code workflows have transformed how we automate processes and build enterprise apps
First and foremost, ServiceNow Now Platform allows us to do a low-code or no-code platform, which is the wonderful first feature. On top of that, if you want to do some customization along with the low-code and no-code, you can do it. Beyond that, if you write a full-fledged customized code and make your functionality, you can do it. Workflow is there, and we can automate our workflows. Flow is there as an option. Apart from workflow and flow, we have many business rules and script includes. These are all the technical components and features of ServiceNow Now Platform that allow us to achieve our objective. ServiceNow Now Platform offers a very easy feature that we call workflow or flow. Using workflow or flow, we can customize industry workflows. The development on that flow is very simple, and you can use drag and drop functionality. If you want to do some scripting, you can do it. This is an awesome feature of ServiceNow Now Platform that allows us to develop or automate any flow in quick time. Internally, ServiceNow Now Platform uses a lot of AI features and machine learning features. This makes it more wonderful. AI and machine learning are the core of ServiceNow Now Platform, and they are using it heavily. It is making a lot of impact on deliverables. You can develop anything whatever you want on ServiceNow Now Platform. If you understand ServiceNow Now Platform capabilities, you can develop a full-fledged application on ServiceNow Now Platform easily. You don't have to write scratch code or do any database operations. You just need to create tables and forms, which are very easy to develop if you are familiar with ServiceNow. Everything is on one platform, so it is a single source of data that you can find on ServiceNow itself for the overall enterprise. ServiceNow Now Platform offers a reporting feature very well. Along with the reporting, they are offering workspace and dashboard. All these UI interfaces you can use to extract precise information for your customer. This is really helping the customer make decisions with the precise and versatile reports. You can have a list report view, a graph report view, or a pie chart. All these features can be developed quickly and used in ServiceNow. This is where ServiceNow Now Platform makes a lot of difference.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"There are ready plugins and connectors to integrate with APIs for common systems like Oracle or Microsoft."
"Bots add a lot of productivity and value to our business, because a robot can work for 24/7. They work a lot better, as compared to a human being, specifically for tasks which are repetitive in nature."
"The support team responds quickly."
"We have almost 27 use cases in production and, as of now, we have saved almost eight FTEs per annum."
"The ability to create automation itself is a benefit that reduces human error and enhances efficiency. Technical support is unsurpassed."
"Movement on cloud architecture according to me provided by AA2019, will be most beneficial as it will be easy to use and will provide flexibility."
"We have a very resourceful pipeline to use AA bots in our RPA projects and we are looking to be more engaged with the AA team in deploying these bots."
"Even a non-IT or business user can just look at the bot language and understand what the bot is doing, and that's the easy part."
"Great having everything in one package; invaluable for companies without huge resources."
"I would recommend this product to businesses who are using multiple systems across different departments, and are looking for a single point to operate them from."
"The tool is generally easy to use, making it a very user-friendly product."
"This is a development platform that provides us with a strong database and a low code environment."
"It is a very stable solution."
"The most valuable feature of the ServiceNow Now Platform is the workspaces feature, which allows you to create customized workspaces."
"It is a stable solution...It is a scalable solution."
"You can develop anything whatever you want on ServiceNow Now Platform."
"The solution is in Gartner's Magic Quadrant."
 

Cons

"There is room for improvement in terms of costs and procurement considerations."
"We have done some automation of incoming documents, but it has been somewhat hard."
"We have had so many stability issues."
"If the deployment is not right, you get the frustration, not the automation."
"Automation Anywhere says that you can use this tool for any type of application, but there are some for which it is not compatible."
"MetaBot still needs to be optimized, though Version 11.3 did integrate all the commands into it. We are not able to see all the lines of code which are executed in MetaBot."
"I suggest having more ways to perform string manipulations and string operations, instead of just what is pre-defined in the V11 tool."
"Queues are great but need improvement. They are helpful because most of the automations are transaction-based."
"It's not possible to significantly differentiate some of the UI elements."
"Currently, the product is comparatively quite expensive and lowering the cost would likely produce a better response from customers."
"Because of the high cost of this product, you don't always see an ROI."
"I feel that the solution's user interface is an area with certain shortcomings, where improvements are required."
"The programming language is currently limited to JavaScript. So I would like to see more programming languages available, especially since they have come up with the machine-learning features. Some more languages would be an additional improvement."
"The analytics should be more readily available on the base product."
"If AI were better integrated into ServiceNow, it would lower the RPA costs and make the platform more accessible."
"The user interface could be modernized and made more attractive for users."
"The solution's user interface is very average, and it needs to be more enriched and user-friendly."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The pricing and licensing are definitely moderate to costly but easily recoverable by achieving ROI quickly."
"The price is a little bit high but the support is good."
"I am not sure about the costs, but two Bot Runners and four Bot Creators may cost approximately 1CR."
"Its price is competitive with all other products in the market."
"Automation Anywhere pricing and licensing are competitive compared to the other automation vendors."
"We have seen about a 10 percent monetary savings."
"Automation Anywhere is expensive, making it suitable only for enterprise organizations."
"I think the solution's pricing is reasonable."

"Pricing is based on the number of users and user licenses, but the product is 20% to 30% more than the competition."
