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

"Document Automation is something we are using and have used in the past; it is excellent."
"We've shifted platforms a couple of times, and Automation Anywhere is the one that stuck based on end-user experience, the ease of development, and trainability with the tool."
"The ease of use of getting started is probably the big thing. They had a lot of references that we were able to check. It is a well-known player, and being able to get up and running quickly was the big thing."
"The best part about Automation Anywhere is the easy to use UI. It's very user-friendly. You have everything that you want in front of your eyes. You just have to drag and drop, then build your logic accordingly."
"Automation Anywhere reduced the manpower up to 80% with a high return on investment."
"Automation Anywhere has a great learning curve, and we have automated processes through bots that ease our work by handling repetitive tasks and minimizing effort and work inefficiencies."
"Automation Anywhere has evolved significantly and upgraded itself to provide agentic AI and AI-based automation solutions for document automation, with modern features to train documents ensuring high accuracy and repeatability over time."
"The code, once developed, is pretty stable."
"Great having everything in one package; invaluable for companies without huge resources."
"The most valuable feature of the ServiceNow Now Platform is the workspaces feature, which allows you to create customized workspaces."
"ServiceNow Now Platform has one thing that no other tool offers, which is the dataset, specifically the management of the dataset."
"This solution is very reliable, and they are proactive."
"What I appreciate best about ServiceNow Now Platform is that they are self-sufficient, they have a good ecosystem built around it, and they integrate with a lot of standard partners, which is a great thing to talk about."
"In ServiceNow, the best features are the reports. We have more options there."
"Now Platform's best features are collaboration, configurability, and customizability."
"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."
"ServiceNow Now Platform is very powerful in terms of data management."
 

Cons

"It still uses old, deprecated Microsoft components that have an end date."
"New versions keep coming up. The challenge for us is to have the downtime to do the migrations."
"We would like to have more ease of use for the operations team."
"Sometimes, the bot struggles to initiate on the cloud, even when everything appears in place. This issue occasionally requires uninstalling and reinstalling a component on my PC, although I cannot recall the specific component involved."
"Our tool is a bit slow, as it's a legacy tool. Automation Anywhere is having some issues when running back."
"While the community provides a platform for interaction and resource sharing, not all training content aligns with the specific needs of developers."
"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."
"I would like to see more bots available right out-of-the-box in the SAP area."
"It's not possible to significantly differentiate some of the UI elements."
"The initial setup requires a lot of customization based on the individual company's processes."
"They should reduce the solution's cost and make it more affordable for buyers."
"Bug and defect management are not available in ServiceNow."
"The solution’s AI and NLP features could be improved."
"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. Suppose that you go with some subscriptions such as IDSM or any type of package like it, then the license cost will be impacted accordingly. Similarly, the cost is also adjusted based on your headcount of how many users will be using it."
"The Playbooks feature is useful for visualizing steps in a process, however, it lacks support for rollbacks in case of complex customer processes."
"The reporting capabilities need to be improved, otherwise we need to pay for performance analytics."
"This platform is used more by large companies because it is a little bit expensive."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The major reason that we selected Automation Anywhere was the licensing model."
"I really enjoy the pricing options with Automation Anywhere, as they are able to flex their ability to adapt to the needs of the customer really well."
"This is a comprehensive automation offering with a scalable architecture and flexible pricing models."
"Automation Anywhere pricing and licensing are competitive compared to the other automation vendors."
"Automation Anywhere offers a subscription-based licensing model for cloud, on-premises, and hybrid deployments."
"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."
"It is not cheap, but we are able to get an ROI."
"There are a lot of savings in terms of effort and time as well as costs. Automation Anywhere automates a lot of processes. It allows an organization to save the efforts of a lot people. It saves a lot of time because people can't work a whole day (24/7), but Automation Anywhere bots can."
