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.

User-friendly modules impress with customization options while IT knowledge base updates remain incomplete

It's a vast product, and we use ManageEngine IT Asset Management because it has an Ops Manager, Event Viewer, Site 24/7, PAM360, and AD Manager among many options that we plan to explore in the future environment. ManageEngine IT Asset Management explores detailed aspects such as RAM frequency, RAM brand, product, expiry date, users, roles, technicians, groups, support groups, Active Directory, SAML, single sign-on, LDAP, Microsoft Entra ID, proxy settings, and template forms. We are satisfied with the product because each module is user-friendly, and we can customize it based on our organization's requirements. We are looking into the automated IT asset discovery feature. We have configured the incoming and outgoing mail server so that when users send an email to our standardized mail ID, it automatically creates a ticket. In the future, we will explore automation features such as SLA, KPI, and KRA to align targets, manage resources, assess project utilization, and assign tickets based on priority levels.

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

Pros

"Automation Anywhere was the simplest solution, and it offered us immediate support."

"Automation has been playing a significant role in every aspect of our institution."

"It has drag-and-drop features, which makes it very fast for us to gather the required data."

"I found the new feature of integrating Python and HTML the most valuable."

"The setup is straightforward. Automation Anywhere provides customer success managers to help with the setup."

"Web-based control is the most valuable feature. We can access it from anywhere in the world with the control room URL and in any browser. Bot Insights make our report generation and other insights view easier. We can export the data in the form of CSV, PDF, etc."

More Automation Anywhere pros

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

"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."

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

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

"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."

"Using their problem management process, we can use parent/child tickets and set up public views for our problem work orders."

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

Cons

"They need to make the AA stable across all browsers and I hope to see it fixed in the next version."

"Another feature that would be cool to see in Automation Anywhere is more use of artificial intelligence. Right now, RPA is basically limited to a bot which is simply following the instructions that it was given. However, what would be really useful is if a bot was able to more flexibly respond to issues. For example, sometimes there are erroneous errors and pop ups. With good code, you can certainly build your bots to be able to handle that. However, it does take time and a bit of technical know-how to be able to do that."

"If I build a bot today and don't use it, however, in several months, someone tries to use it, there's a 30-40% change the bot will fail in one or two areas."

"In high-availability, we have two Control Rooms acting as a cluster so if one fails the other one will take over. But that's not our environment operationally, and the latest information we have is that they identified another product bug."

"With Automation Anywhere, it took us a bit of time to stand it up initially. We tried to do it in a virtual environment, which caused us a bit of headache. It could have been smoother in this aspect."

"It's somewhat pricier than some of the other tools that we've used, and the breakout between the different applications is also somewhat costly."

"Automation Anywhere has some limitation with its integrations."

"I would like to see improvement in its scalability."

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."

"Their self-service is not user friendly."

"The solution is cumbersome to use."

"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."

"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."

"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."

"Currently, we are having some challenges in managing assets. We are still managing them in Excel sheets and keeping a track of them outside the system."

"The assets that can be discovered are pretty easy to manage, but there should be a better way to manage non-discoverable assets. Our development team works on bots and tests particular hardware. They have got different varieties of hardware. They want a feature for managing these assets within a warehouse kind of environment. For example, our IT has received 100 items, and they have assigned these items as a bulk unit to a project manager. The project manager further wants to distribute these items within his or her team. Instead of maintaining a separate Excel sheet, the project manager should be able to reallocate these items from within the tool so that we have hierarchical entities for the same unit."

"It requires some development to be better, more comfortable, and usable, enhancing customer satisfaction."

"The asset management tool is costly compared to other tools in the market."

"The engineering area needs improvement."

"Responses from ManageEngine should be faster."

"I hope it includes barcode features, as barcode scanning and MacAdes cannot currently be mapped with this field."

"It would be helpful if there were a premium technician license that includes all the suites, eliminating the need to buy separate licenses for each feature."

"I think the solution's pricing is reasonable."

"I think it's $5,500 per license."

"Automation Anywhere might have a higher upfront cost than some competitors, but its extensive features and seamless integration with other tools can save organizations money in the long run."
