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.

ICT Manager at a legal firm with 11-50 employees

Provides good stability, but it could be intuitive and easier to use

The product’s current version could be easier and straightforward to work with small IT organizations, similar to the older version. Its asset management feature has been significantly affected since the upgrade. Earlier, it was able to perform skill-based routing automatically. We could set up parameters within the system and view the details of the incident or a ticket. The same functionality needs to be fine-tuned in the new system.

IT Service Delivery Manager at Symposiam

Automation and AI have transformed our service delivery and have made IT support faster and more efficient

I always keep up with Freshservice's roadmaps and new features. Freshservice has been very good at listening to feedback and adding those feature requests into their next iterations. I wish they would offer more granular data export options for utilizing in Power BI, along with predictive analytics for capacity planning and SLA breaches to enable more proactive support management and reduce firefighting. While the dashboards are effective, some users find custom reporting limited compared to ServiceNow or Jira. I would also appreciate deeper integrations, especially for niche apps requiring development coding work to enable advanced orchestration. Native integrations for DevOps pipelines such as GitHub Actions and Jenkins, along with stronger API flexibility for complex workflows, would enhance functionality. Although the CMDB and asset management are solid, they do lack advanced dependency mapping compared to other enterprise tools. My wishlist includes automated impact analysis for changes and improved visualization of asset relationships, enabling quicker resolutions from an agent's perspective when alerts come in. I acknowledge that Device42 may enhance this, but it is an extra cost beyond what we already pay. While Freddy AI is excellent for triage and suggestions, some users desire more proactive automation, such as predictive ticket routing based on historical patterns and AI-driven capacity forecasting. Lastly, the pricing tiers might seem rigid for mid-sized teams, so a more granular add-on option for features such as Device42 or pay-per-use for orchestration workflows could be beneficial.

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 a ten out of ten."

"With Automation Anywhere, they receive their financial statements while still on the call."

"One of the most valuable features is object cloning, the ability to get into websites and do things faster."

"We have automated every finance-based operation, from collections to invoice processing, and it has streamlined many manual processes, eliminating errors and inefficiencies while allowing us to introduce metrics so we can generate operational reports and improve our overall business."

"Object Cloning is the most valuable feature I have found for automating a website or a process that includes multiple mouse clicks."

"The recording feature accelerates the timeline of your implementation."

"This solution is easy to use and understand, even for a non-technical person."

"I would rate Automation Anywhere a nine out of ten."

More Automation Anywhere pros

"Track-It! has many features that help make us more efficient and cost effective as a department."

"The solution is quite stable, and we've found it to be reliable and free from bugs and glitches that affect its usability."

"We use it to create and manage our work orders."

"As a department, we have been able to identify problems and resolve them faster because of the centralized database."

"Using the Help Desk and Purchasing modules, they let us keep track of all the issues in our organization and analyze them for trends."

"Our users have come to expect availability and quick responses, and we are able to provide this thanks to the Track-IT! solution."

"The customization of the product and reporting capabilities have allowed us to provide upper management the graphs (data) they request that helps validate specific needs that we (IT) have."

"Our efficiency has improved drastically due to a massive reduction in phone calls."

More BMC Track-It! pros

"Ability to scan barcodes and a great search feature."

"Freshservice was up and running without any expensive project planning, and all that without sacrificing features."

"One of the key benefits of Freshservice is license management."

"You can just register and within five to minute minutes, you are ready to go."

"The solution facilitates a transition from an organizational structure that is function-based to a process-oriented approach."

"The most valuable features of Freshservice are the notifications, customization, and flexibility."

More Freshservice pros

Cons

"I want the tool to be more stabilized. After three or four hours, the navigation keeps changing. We will be running error handling for 8,000 process and the system will fail. We need it to be more stable."

"The product falls behind in working with webhooks."

"With Oracle and ServiceNow, there seem to be challenges. With SAP, it worked very well."

"Their bot runners could be made to handle multiple payloads at the same time because if I want to run multiple parallel operations, the number of bot runners that I have to buy just keeps increasing. It is adding to the cost. However, there is a possibility that we don't need that many bot runners, and we can run multiple operations in a bot runner. This would be a great addition to have."

"They do not include the basic functionality of column headers in Excel worksheets. This is missing, and we need it."

"Regarding the pricing, I think it's high, and it's the same for the setup cost and licensing."

"Unwanted windows are popping up. We have to train a bot to recognize the window if it comes up, know what it is, and click it. If it is interrupting our bot, I just want to avoid that window, because I am getting failed logs."

"Automation Anywhere can be improved with better documentation."

More Automation Anywhere cons

"The product’s current version could be easier and straightforward to work with small IT organizations, similar to the older version."

"Currently, if you go and check the reports in the packet, the reports are useless; reporting is really bad."

"The area where we would like to see improvement is in the asset management module."

"Their self-service is not user friendly."

"Track-It! works great for a mid-size company, but anything over 700 employees, and trying to use Track-It! for any other areas of the business is difficult."

"The solution is cumbersome to use."

"There are a few items that I would like changed or extra features that could be added to our current version of this software, but those are all going to be addressed in a future software update."

"I experienced some delay in response time for non-function critical queries."

"The analytics could be better. We would like better visualization of items and KPIs, et cetera."

"They're not very good at technical support."

"Asset management can definitely be improved because it doesn't pick up every single device on the network or every single piece of information. Some manual information still needs to be entered."

"In hindsight, Freshservice isn't the solution we should have chosen, as it's just not customisable enough."

"The only thing I would have against it right now is that the workflow automation is not as granular as we would like it to be, at least for the size of our organization."

"I would suggest that Freshservice enhance its technical capabilities, particularly when it comes to ICT network discovery."

"Freshservice could improve the integration with Microsoft Outlook."

More Freshservice cons

Pricing and Cost Advice

"We only deal in annual licenses. There are no pay-as-you-go licenses."

"It is the most economically friendly and it provides you with a lot of functions."

"We paid separately for the Runner and Creater components. The final cost depends on the structure of your environment."

"We save 34,000 hours of time per year and have recouped up to $6000 in lost revenue."

"The licensing fees are approximately $10,000 USD for between five and ten users."

"They're very flexible around pricing and licensing."

"The pricing for Automation Anywhere is reasonable."

"In terms of pricing, this is a good product."

More Automation Anywhere pricing and cost advice

"BMC Track-It!’s price is reasonable compared to other products."

"It is $34 per license, per agent. Currently, we don't see any add-ons at extra fees."

"The solution may be around 20,000 euros a year."

"Its price is great. Its pricing is supposedly a lot less than ServiceNow and other alternatives."

"It is good for the price you pay. It has different plans. If you need all features, you need to go for a higher plan. Currently, with the second tier plan, you cannot completely separate the group of agents. So, the agent in each group can see another person's ticket. You also cannot modify the rules based on the viewable, readable stuff and cannot have a custom role in this plan. If you want to do that, you have to go for a higher plan. It works in our case because it doesn't matter if the other group can see our ticket because it doesn't contain anything sensitive. We also didn't need the project or change management features. That's why we didn't go with a higher plan."

"The price of Freshservice could improve, it is expensive."

"I can't recall exactly how much we pay, but it is somewhere in the middle compared to the rest of the market. The more we purchase, the cheaper it becomes, and I think the solution offers good value for money."

"We're basically paying about $100 USD per agent per month."

"The pricing information is on their website. It's my understanding that their Pro Plan, for example, is around $89/month."
