Automation Anywhere

Featured Reviews

Venkat Sivaprakash

Management Consultant at Accenture

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.

The solution is stable and has good support, but is expensive

Betty Blocks, when I started with it, was similar to a back-end platform with the ability to have a standardized back-office UI out of the box, which is perfect for a lot of situations. For more customer-facing UIs, we had to create the front end ourselves, building endpoints with HTML and JavaScript. Then Betty Blocks started in 2018 with the page builder. This allowed us to create drag-and-drop interfaces. That was quite cumbersome. Now Betty Blocks is entering a new generation of it - next generation forms - which should be a lot better. The most valuable feature is the back end. The way we can create action flows for things such as sending emails, creating PDF reports, or connecting to web services is very complete. I never experience a lack of functionality in it. The standardized back-office UI is said to be deprecated over time, which is a shame, because it is a real time-saver and is one of their strong points, only if it was kept up-to-date.

Hemanthreddy Vakiti

Junior Data engineer at a tech vendor with 10,001+ employees

Structured workflows have improved SLA compliance and now support prioritized incident handling

I think the licensing and pricing of ServiceNow is quite expensive compared to other tools. For large organizations, it is acceptable, but specifically for small and medium organizations to track incidents or change requests, ServiceNow is quite expensive. Sometimes performance can be slow when workflows and integrations are configured for complex tasks. For advanced customizations or advanced features which we rarely use, the documentation is not up to standard. The documentation needs to be improved for advanced customization features. However, the platform is stable overall and the features are quite good. The user experience and performance concerns I mentioned are areas I want to be improved. When many workflows and interactions are configured, performance is slow. For the features it is providing, it is quite expensive. If these performance features are improved, we can easily pay that price and get the return on investment.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The speed-up and greater control over the quality of the processes have also led to savings in money and are increasing the happiness of the company's customers."

"It is easy to install and use."

"We use AA Client, Bot runners, Control room, IQ Bot, Bot insights. With the AA Client, we are able to automate almost all kinds of automation requirements without any big challenges. We found the availability of the number of commands provided by AA is really helpful to do automation within a small time frame."

"I am confident that we are saving several million dollars as a result."

"It's pretty simple and non-invasive."

"Before Automation Anywhere, the insurance companies used to transfer data manually from one app to another, but after introducing them to automation the speed and accuracy have been outstanding."

"We saw a 70 percent decrease in manual steps. If something took 10 steps to do, we are doing it in three steps today."

"One of the most valuable features is the different possibilities it gives you to manipulate the interface screens that you're working with."

More Automation Anywhere pros

"The most valuable feature is the back end."

"All these components are separately tuneable, which makes it a very strong platform, and we believe that this should be considered in the enterprise market."

"ServiceNow has enabled us to rapidly deploy Application Managed Services for new clients, with the ability to configure, extend, and tailor our ITSM Platform to meet individual client needs."

"The best feature of ServiceNow, from my perspective, is that it is completely integral to our work on security, because from the start we can attend to tickets and through to resolving the ticket it helps us since every documentation is done by ServiceNow."

"The most impactful feature in our day-to-day operations is the ticket status, which provides crucial visibility into the progress of each resource or incident."

"It's enabled us to decommission a number of different systems that we were using such as incident change, problem management, asset management, financial etc. and it's enabled us to pull them all together so now we can develop an entire portal inside of ServiceNow."

"ServiceNow has a much bigger offering in the sense that you've got new changes, you've got your problem ticket findings, you've got tracking for CIs and the CMDB database, and sitting on the backend trying to provide all that data for those tickets throughout the company, making it a lot easier as a one-stop shop for being able to actually come in and help your users while also helping your full infrastructure and backend."

"It's very easy to customize and build off of, it's a simple platform to get up to speed on, and every company I've worked for has enjoyed their idle focus because a lot of customers just enjoy the usability of it."

"It has an excellent capability to integrate different access points."

"The most recent addition of SAM Premium is a game changer for many organizations."

More ServiceNow pros

Cons

"This solution should be more user-friendly so that our clients can take a bot that we have developed for them, and then run it by themselves."

"We encountered issues during the upgrade of the framework. We were using the older framework of version 10.3.5. When we were upgrading, we were having a few issues in terms of getting the proper hardware and software prerequisites. For some things, like getting the controls of some of the application's tools, we were getting Automation Anywhere's help."

"Copilot is an area with a lot of scope for improvement. It's the number one thing to improve."

"It is very difficult to create and automate timetables because they are modal, and it would be helpful if the bot could assist us with this."

"They have a ridiculously expensive bot licensing structure, especially for the Asian region."

"I used document automation about two years ago, however, it did not work as expected at that time, providing results around 70% to 80%. After that, we turned to third-party tools."

"When it comes to stability, complex bots always have issues."

"The pricing is a little bit high compared with other tools."

More Automation Anywhere cons

"What I find lacking in the software is its ability to query the database."

"In many cases, they make choices where flexibility is a little bit degraded, but if you leave everything open and the flexibility is great then the usability is a little bit less."

"I would like to see full integration with AI."

"if I consider from the IT operations management side, ServiceNow is pretty premature on some things, especially the discovery, while the other tools like Micro Focus and BMC Remedy, those that have been in the market for quite some time. ServiceNow is evolving itself in the discovery piece of the future."

"Our initial setup was not the best. We had some issues with it with the company that implemented it for us."

"I would like to see a mobile version of ServiceNow."

"We find it good in general. Obviously, there are areas of improvement for every capability. As they evolve more, if they keep on adding more intelligence into the capabilities, it will improve. The improvement areas are more integration across the landscape and more intelligence for the overall capability of the solution."

"I would say there had been times where it's taking a long time for a resolution."

"The biggest hassle we have for ServiceNow has been licensing."

"Their debugging tool. Sometimes it's hard to debug some of the scripts because once Javascript fails, it doesn't really tell you why."

"ServiceNow is such a complex piece of software. It's trying to be everything."

More ServiceNow cons

Pricing and Cost Advice

"They recently launched a Community Edition, which is okay, but they should have done this a long time ago."

"The pricing model can be a bit more flexible."

"It's cheaper than other similar solutions."

"Roughly, as of today, it is around $250,000 annually."

"This solution costs approximately $3,500 USD per license."

"The pricing strategy for us is one license for development. It is more complicated than that depending on the options you choose."

"We would like to use Citrix going forward. We use Bot Runners to scale up, and it gets to be expensive. Using Citrix, it can mitigate costs."

"Time and monetary savings can range from 20 to 90 percent."
