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.

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.

Hemanthreddy Vakiti

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 Control Room is the most important feature, where we can manage the bots and publish to various bot runners in the environment."

"In the age of agentic AI, it's allowing us to imagine what comes next."

"It saves time."

"By implementing the Automation Anywhere robot, we have reduced the FTE count and it was able to process 800 invoices per day with 100% accuracy."

"With Automation Anywhere you can read and extract CSV data easily. You don't need multiple commands to read it."

"Business analytics provides real-time data that's something other competing companies lack. It uses statistics and graphs to show the performance of the bots which processes are lagging behind and if you need to give priority to certain tasks."

"As a solution for process automation, it's been very easy for us to use, and I don't think that we could have done it with any other solution."

"It improves accuracy and reduces manpower. It is easy to learn."

More Automation Anywhere pros

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

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

"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."

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

"We can manually capture the assets available within the location."

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

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

More BMC Track-It! pros

"When we can centralize all the contract information, ServiceNow will give us better control over asset management and technical debt."

"ServiceNow has got all the features and functionalities, it is a solid solution, it is also easy to get into and use, and it is certainly highly scalable."

"Learn anything you need to know direclty from ServiceNow."

"The solution integrates well with other products."

"ServiceNow gives us more capabilities as far as giving us one platform to be able to have a lot of our systems on and it has a lot of functionality there just out of the box."

"The most valuable features are its ease of use and capabilities."

More ServiceNow pros

Cons

"We have had some quirkiness happen when integrating the Automation Anywhere with other solutions, such as weird Excel issues or temperamental legacy system issues."

"Cost-wise, it should be reduced."

"The GUI can be improved by making it more user-friendly."

"The help Automation Anywhere offers during setup isn't great for smaller companies like ours."

"The website can be buggy at times, and I would like to see improvements in latency and slow response times."

"New versions keep coming up. The challenge for us is to have the downtime to do the migrations. This could be improved upon. We would like fewer version changes and upgrades happening to the application. While the downtime is not that much, depending on the business processes, there are times few critical processes are running on a daily or hourly basis. We would expect the downtime to be even less for them."

"They have done a fairly good job on the RPA space, but more and more, the whole cognitive AI space and machine learning are where I see the industry actually going. I'm sure Automation Anywhere is also focused on that topic, but we would like to see more coming down the pipe, as early as possible."

"The regional distribution in Turkey can be improved."

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."

"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."

"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."

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

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

"We do a lot of relatively advanced stuff for the size that we are, but ServiceNow itself is so big and to some extent, there is a significant amount of complexity that you have, a big learning curve I would say, in order to really get on board."

"They could be more competitive with their licensing."

"I would say there is a lot of room for improvement when it comes to technical support."

"The initial setup was incredibly complex."

"I would say database or data visibility. In fact, I think for me, I'm going for the physical side, most of the people like to access data without any constraints."

"Reaching beyond IT asset management is the biggest challenge to ServiceNow right now."

"Our current challenge, because it's a little bit of a rub right now is we're going through re-negotiations on contract because absolutely you're going through the big sales pitch, it can do everything at a cost."

"Still there are a lot of restrictions, what developers like to see in an environment they're developing."

More ServiceNow cons

Pricing and Cost Advice

"On a yearly basis, our licensing costs are about $80,000. There are no additional costs beyond the standard licensing fees."

"With the rebate processing automation that we did, it has provided us a savings of around an hour or two a person on a daily basis, which is quite a lot of savings."

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

"Pricing is affordable and I would recommend beginning with the Starter Package."

"It is reasonable and affordable. If you consider the tasks that we can get done using this, the pricing is reasonable and affordable."

"I don't know exactly what the pricing schemes are for the product as this type of negotiation is not my responsibility, but I think the basic pricing comes to $15,000."

"If we count the integrations that we have done with Appian, which is where a lot of our savings is from, we are well over a million dollars in savings. This is from only doing development for about a year and a half."

"We are a partner of Automation Anywhere and find the pricing to be reasonable."
