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

"This product has helped us a lot by improving and growing the business in different domains."
"In terms of monetary savings, we automated a bot in three days that has saved us $30,000 in costs."
"Automation Anywhere is excellent for integrating with other solutions. It provides the ability to leverage the APIs of third-party solutions. We use some of the already built-in MetaBots to then scrape the data and manipulate independent data that we need in order to integrate with other third-party solutions."
"If you are looking for a fast solution using minimal resources not requiring an advanced programming skill set this is your product."
"The ability to automate renewals of government licenses four times a year is valuable."
"In general, when you set up the cloud solution, it's very, very easy."
"Automation Anywhere has provided the capability to automate repetitive tasks for the organization, which in turn has lead to a lot of cost-savings."
"Customers also are looking for the kinds of solutions that help enable their workforces to be more effective."
"Great having everything in one package; invaluable for companies without huge resources."
"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."
"The solution is fast enough for our workflow automations and has integration capability. It aligns with many use cases in our organization and for others we have planned."
"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."
"Now Platform's best features are collaboration, configurability, and customizability."
"The workflow feature really has a lot of value because you can create workflows in a simple, intuitive way, and with a few clicks you can actually develop quite a complex workflow using tool and product life cycles and so on."
"The integration with other tools is pretty good."
"The primary feature we find valuable is data management."
"The most valuable features are the ease of use, stability, and the ability to change or upgrade seamlessly."
 

Cons

"I noticed that from version 10.5 to 11.3 the number of clicks to start a bot through the Control Room and Schedule Manager have increased."
"Some NLP AI is required to work in combination with RPA, especially for reading unstructured emails."
"Maybe not improved but I heard that the 2019 version is going to look more like UiPath, which is not ideal for a typical/classic developer."
"Going on-cloud comes with security hiccups and concerns."
"Copilot is an area with a lot of scope for improvement."
"IQ Bot has some limitations that should be improved in future releases."
"I would like more cognitive abilities, artificial intelligence, and machine learning. E.g., if I see you, your facial recognition has to be there. If I send your picture, it should tell me your name, where you are from, and when I met you because we forget people. It should have these type of capabilities."
"Apart from the Chrome issue, which took them maybe a week to fix, we lost a lot of processes during that time, but it just happens unfortunately."
"It's not possible to significantly differentiate some of the UI elements."
"Aside from the fact that the license module is very expensive, it's a great product."
"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."
"The UI and mobile UI need to be improved."
"I feel that the solution's user interface is an area with certain shortcomings, where improvements are required."
"Currently, the product is comparatively quite expensive and lowering the cost would likely produce a better response from customers."
"The cost has room for improvement. It is currently expensive."
"The solution’s AI and NLP features could be improved."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"In terms of pricing, this is a good product."
"On average, a bot runner in Automation Anywhere can cost $5,000, while in Microsoft Power Automate, you can get most of the same functionality for $100."
"The price of this product is good."
"The initial setup and licensing fees are high, and although it saves costs in the long run, reaching the break-even point can take at least six months."
"The Automation Anywhere license is affordable and not complex."
"We save 34,000 hours of time per year and have recouped up to $6000 in lost revenue."
"This is a value for the money product."
"They give us a good deal on the licensing because we bundle and customize things. If you ask to get a bulk business deal, you will receive more benefit. If you take other products from the suite, like IQ Bot, you can also receive a deal on the licensing."
Information not available
"The product is very expensive."
"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."
"People seem to be buying the tool a lot. I think its licensing is okay."
"The price of the product falls on the higher side of the spectrum."

"The solution is expensive, and I rate it a ten for pricing."
"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."
