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

"Automation Anywhere is the first RPA solution we have taken and suggested implementing it to our customers, and it has helped tremendously in assisting our customers in achieving their goals."
"I would rate this solution a ten out of ten."
"The time savings are valuable."
"We have improved on IQ Bot collectively with the normal Taskbot that we use. How it got started was that we have a lot of scanned documents to input for our solution. So, I used to get a lot of scanned documents, and extracting or reading the data from those has always been a pain area. We always used to bring a manual person in to do it. Once a manual person did that activity, it was brought into Excel where I could run the bot. With the entry of IQ Bot, it now takes care of my scanned documents, which means IQ Bot does the OCR extraction and gives my data to the Automation Anywhere Taskbot. This means no manual intervention and end-to-end bot processing, along with a happy customer at the end of the day. We provide these services to multiple clients, so we have been doing this for all of our clients."
"The integration is helpful. We have quite a few use cases where we've integrated with Microsoft tools and local record systems, such as SAP and Vertex AI."
"A user can easily adopt this technology and utilize it, when compared to the other available resources in the market."
"Business analytics provides real-time data that's something other competing companies lack. It uses statistics and graphs to show the performance of the bots which processes are lagging behind and if you need to give priority to certain tasks."
"With our conversion from v11 to A360, there has been better ease of development of components within the control room for our development teams."
"Great having everything in one package; invaluable for companies without huge resources."
"You can develop anything whatever you want on ServiceNow Now Platform."
"In ServiceNow, the best features are the reports. We have more options there."
"When it comes to complex workflows, cross-functional projects and extended integration features, ServiceNow does a much better job."
"The simplicity is great, and based on my experience with other solutions in the market, the most important is the simplicity of implementing all the features that we have in ServiceNow and helping customers to simplify the work process in the daily journeys that they have."
"The most valuable feature of the ServiceNow Now Platform is the workspaces feature, which allows you to create customized workspaces."
"This is a development platform that provides us with a strong database and a low code environment."
"The solution is very comprehensive."
"Assignment Group history is really important to me."
 

Cons

"The improvements that we could see would be the increased stability of each A2019 releases and reduce the likely impact on existing features. We are also looking to see improvements in the upgrade and bot deployment processes to make them easier and less interaction with back end servers."
"Some NLP AI is required to work in combination with RPA, especially for reading unstructured emails."
"Automation Anywhere is unable to connect to the database directly. What we are doing now is directly writing the PL/SQL scripts and trying to push the data from the database into Automation Anywhere. This feature is available in UiPath, but not in Automation Anywhere."
"Automation with bots runs fine only if it is an attended bot. With unattended bots, the bots run only 25 to 30 percent of the time."
"I could personally use automated testing, which we currently do not have in Automation Anywhere."
"It takes a lot of effort to build up the internal infrastructure/topics like Virtual Machine/Security/development-Governance/Usecase-Management."
"IQ Bot is pretty good, but we can only run a maximum 150 documents."
"Because I am using an older version, I am rating the scalability as a seven out of 10. I feel a lack of convenience when I try to scale it."
"It's not possible to significantly differentiate some of the UI elements."
"The UI is very bad and needs to be updated."
"The integration towards other ERP systems could be improved."
"The user experience could be improved. The current design of forms lacks intuitiveness, as there seems to be only one form available for all types of operations."
"The product's UI is ugly, making it an area where improvements are required."
"We would like to see AI used to automate some of the functionality in this solution."
"The basic reporting system is rather static."
"The Robotic Process Automation features are not mature enough. ServiceNow could work toward that because we can leverage RP only from this platform."
"The tool has a lot of limitations."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"We're paying a monthly subscription fee for the bot and for services. There are no additional costs beyond the standard licensing fee."
"If you are looking into Automation Anywhere, get the Community Edition and play with it."
"The Automation Anywhere license is affordable and not complex."
"It's justified because we have saved quite a bit of money at the company and many manual hours. Overall, it justifies the cost."
"The setup cost for this is onetime and licensing is based on your choice of product."
"Automation Anywhere is reasonably priced because it can sustain us for a long period."
"It's fine. However, I'm concerned with the credits in terms of the pricing for the AI models. It is understandable that the new ones are more expensive, but the base models, after doing the pricing conversion, cost about four to ten times as much as paying directly."
"I don't deal have cost specifics but I can say it is a tool that provides value for the money."
Information not available
"The product is very expensive."
"The solution is expensive."
"The price of the product falls on the higher side of the spectrum."
"Pricing is based on the number of users and user licenses, but the product is 20% to 30% more than the competition."
"It is expensive only."
"In my opinion, it is expensive. However, they do offer favorable licensing for charities, for example."
"Price-wise, I would describe the product's cost to be more than the average, but it compensates for that with the functionalities that it provides."
"There are extra expenses for maintaining the product apart from the licenses."
