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.

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.

Helpful smart automation and tracking that can be used with minimal adjustments
This is a recording system, and it's an automation system. It's very smart. I use it with minimal adjustments needed. The focus is on test management. Everything can be tracked from asset management. Asset management offers many facilities. It doesn't require additional training for ManageEngine or technicians. Assets are simply reported from the dashboard, indicating where IT is missing, where compliance is mentioned, or where action is needed, with driver updates. All facilities are available in the enterprise edition, allowing users, customers, or any organization to easily obtain their referred insights. Anyone can easily install it. There are no handbells. An app provides instructions, with documentation available. Sometimes, IT issues arise like fraud blocking or service-related problems. Upon facing an issue, feedback is integrated, and the solution is provided from their end. This is a very IT-friendly solution. We get LiveSat and IT management. Facilities are accessible, like exporting the installation folder, making the migration process easy. Failover or redundancy can occur within two to five hours, making it scalable. This is a very stable solution.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The standout qualities of Automation Anywhere were the ease of automation and that it is an intuitive tool. After a simple walkthrough, a couple of hours or two, you would be able to hit the ground running."
"Automation Anywhere is one of the leading RPA tool vendors and they have done splendid work on improving their tool."
"AARI allows business users to trigger the bot, so I do not have to schedule everything. This convenience allows users to utilize it as they need. I can set it up to provide users with a form to fill in all required information, and then the bot operates based on those specifications. AARI is very convenient, and that is their biggest selling point."
"I like working with most of the commands in Automation Anywhere, such as object cloning commands. I like MetaBot for automating Citrix."
"What I appreciate the most about Automation Anywhere is how easy it is to use."
"The most valuable feature is the SAP application and the DLLs that Automation Anywhere provides. These DLLs help automate the SAP application."
"Training videos are very good and include detailed examples, which is really helpful for beginners."
"It doesn't require any coding knowledge. Any business person can automate this process."
"Using the Help Desk and Purchasing modules, they let us keep track of all the issues in our organization and analyze them for trends."
"We can manually capture the assets available within the location."
"The solution is quite stable, and we've found it to be reliable and free from bugs and glitches that affect its usability."
"Track-It! has many features that help make us more efficient and cost effective as a department."
"Our efficiency has improved drastically due to a massive reduction in phone calls."
"As a department, we have been able to identify problems and resolve them faster because of the centralized database."
"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."
"In my opinion, it is the MDM; patch management and deployment are the valuable features."
"The ability to define custom templates for asset management helps track assets, budgets, warranties, and expiries effectively."
"It's very smart. I use it with minimal adjustments needed."
"This is a very stable solution."
"It is a great product, and we are very satisfied with the features."
"The auto-discovery feature has helped us a lot."
"As far as IT Asset Management is concerned, I would rate it at ten out of ten."
"The most valuable component of the ITSM tool is the help desk due to its organized way of raising tickets."
 

Cons

"For the short term, in this pandemic era, they should have a feature to write and save directly into Word documents, Office 365, or Google Docs."
"It is a bit wonky with HTML when I'm working with it. There are times when it's not able to detect the technology that we are using. I don't know whether it's an Automation Anywhere issue or an internal issue. I want it to work smoothly with more technologies."
"The A2019 in early releases had been quite unstable to our experience."
"We have trouble with large volumes of data in Excel and are not getting good results."
"Autosuggestion of existing use cases based on the problem statement could use improvement."
"The GUI can be improved by making it more user-friendly."
"IQ Bot does have some limitations."
"Currently, Automation Anywhere's debugging functionality is minimal."
"Currently, if you go and check the reports in the packet, the reports are useless; reporting is really bad."
"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."
"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."
"The product’s current version could be easier and straightforward to work with small IT organizations, similar to the older version."
"The solution is cumbersome to use."
"The area where we would like to see improvement is in the asset management module."
"Their self-service is not user friendly."
"The asset management tool is costly compared to other tools in the market."
"I would love to see a digital adoption feature or guide that navigates first-time users through the application, as it is quite complex with many relevant and irrelevant elements."
"Responses from ManageEngine should be faster."
"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."
"I hope it includes barcode features, as barcode scanning and MacAdes cannot currently be mapped with this field."
"However, the issue is that the knowledge base often shows information for older versions such as versions 12, 13, or 11, while we are working with ManageEngine IT Asset Management 15.1."
"It requires some development to be better, more comfortable, and usable, enhancing customer satisfaction."
"The engineering area needs improvement."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The licensing cost of Automation Anywhere is better than UiPath and Blue Prism."
"From my experience, I can say that the initial setup cost is easily recovered over a period of time once the bots start running in production."
"We have reduced our headcount, approximately 200 to 300 employees, by eliminating manual, repetitive work. It provides profit to the business."
"Our annual licensing costs for the entire company are $100,000."
"The pricing is a bit higher."
"We purchase on a bot basis. Our costs are approximately $5,000."
"It is subscription-based. They have different schemes. The price depends on how you negotiate with the local partner or local representative in your country."
"If you look at the capital expenditure, Automation Anywhere is number two to UiPath. But if you take a long-term view, on a scalable model of a large number of bots coming out, it slowly goes on to become the costliest tool. There is something they can do about that. The capital expenditure goes out right at the point of buying the tool. For Automation Anywhere, I would need to spend $20,000. UiPath can give me something for $6,000, while Blue Prism will come in at $300,000."
"BMC Track-It!’s price is reasonable compared to other products."
"Its price is reasonable, but I wish it was lower."
