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

"We had an old ERP which required human interactions because of the lack of a system, and what we did is have the robotics read an invoice and plug it directly into our ERP, avoiding the extra steps, saving about an hour-and-a-half a day and 20 percent of an FTE."
"Even as we were getting into RPA for the first time, I found it easy to understand this tool."
"The most valuable feature is recording in the Control Room, as it allows me to chose what I want to have recorded, ensuring that I get the right thing on time."
"The Control Room is the most important feature, where we can manage the bots and publish to various bot runners in the environment."
"The best features of Automation Anywhere are having a user-friendly interface and the ability to integrate AI, and APIs and services like OpenAI's ChatGPT can be integrated, enhancing its functionality."
"Automation Anywhere has benefited our company as we've been able to process thousands of transactions daily through various automations that distribute work, classify work, and handle claims, doing preliminary work for the finance team."
"The most valuable feature is the back-end process automation."
"The thing I appreciate most about Automation Anywhere is how integrated the aspects of it are."
"Great having everything in one package; invaluable for companies without huge resources."
"The integration with other tools is pretty good."
"The solution has more products than being an ITSM tool. Big customers such as those from Telcom tend to like it. Some of our customers use AI-based chatbots."
"ServiceNow is highly scalable from a customization point of view, allowing for the building of portals, adding and configuring widgets, and designing workflows as preferred."
"It is a stable solution...It is a scalable solution."
"The simplicity is great."
"The level of automation within the platform is great."
"ServiceNow is a vast application, but thankfully there are a variety of different solutions that can be easily adopted and managed according to your particular organizational structure."
"At this point, over and above what ServiceNow actually is, the key is that it's really nothing but a web service. Whether it's a form or anything, the best part is that you can easily leverage anything of ServiceNow for any application anywhere just by calling the REST endpoints and handling the request messages."
 

Cons

"The scripting can be a bit difficult."
"We had several issues when trying to connect the different components, due to our firewalls. They were eventually solved by our internal IT and the AA technical team."
"In the next release of this solution, I would like to see a plug-and-play tool for NLP programming."
"Automation Anywhere's current requirement for upfront annual payments limits flexibility for customers."
"As a solution, it could have been easier to use than in the current state."
"Compared to other RPA tools, the UI of Automation Anywhere is not that great and is not that easy to pick up for people, which takes more time for a newbie."
"Some things that I do not see as of today are interactive chat or video interface."
"Sometimes, while recording, the screen hangs and we are not able to perform any actions during that time."
"It's not possible to significantly differentiate some of the UI elements."
"The platform is quite complicated, because of the basics of the software."
"It is still difficult to build a set of services in ServiceNow. It can be done, but it is one of the more difficult things to do. If we're talking about scalability, we're talking about the ability to actually build that set of services a little easier."
"The Playbooks feature is useful for visualizing steps in a process, however, it lacks support for rollbacks in case of complex customer processes."
"It's not quick or cheap."
"We would like to see AI used to automate some of the functionality in this solution."
"They should reduce the solution's cost and make it more affordable for buyers."
"The tool has a lot of limitations."
"If AI were better integrated into ServiceNow, it would lower the RPA costs and make the platform more accessible."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Automation Anywhere has an advantage in terms of licensing. It is more cost-efficient compared to all other RPA platforms. It is a recommended solution when clients need a cost-efficient automation tool to perform unattended automation."
"We save 34,000 hours of time per year and have recouped up to $6000 in lost revenue."
"The pricing and licensing are definitely moderate to costly but easily recoverable by achieving ROI quickly."
"Time-wise: We have saved hundreds of thousands of hours."
"The pricing is a bit higher."
"It is expensive. I would rate Automation Anywhere an eight out of ten in terms of pricing."
"It is not cheap, with costs ranging between 700 to 800 dollars per month. While Power Automate is cheaper at 15 dollars per month, Automation Anywhere offers superior features, user-friendliness, and smoothness."
"Pricing is affordable and I would recommend beginning with the Starter Package."
Information not available
"It's expensive and if you need some analytical views of your activity, there is an additional cost."
"I don't have much exposure to the costs attached to the solution. I rate the product's price a six on a scale of one to ten, where one is the lowest price, and ten is the highest price since it is a costly tool."
"I would rate the pricing an eight out of ten, with ten being very expensive solution."
"ServiceNow is not open source, so there is a license you must pay. As for how much it costs, what I have observed is that it often depends on your subscriptions."
"The price of the product falls on the higher side of the spectrum."
"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."
"The pricing of this solution is done annually and it is very expensive."
"It is expensive only."
