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

"AA provides multiple features such as Windows actions, Database actions, Conditional Actions, Files/Folder Actions, Loop actions, Internet actions, and Clipboard actions. I have used mostly all of these features."

"Co-Pilot is a valuable feature."

"Automation Anywhere has been an integral part of this product's evolution in general. A hindrance that we were faced with was companies who did not have API integrations for Salesforce. This is where RPA and Automation Anywhere came in and helped us with integrating solutions which did not have API integrations within themselves. That's how we've evolved in the past two to three months."

"It saves us man-hours, headcount, and processing time, and we have automated the equivalent headcount of 500 FTEs since we started, with those people doing different types of work activities instead of being laid off."

"With RPA, specifically with Automation Anywhere, it has really helped us engage with those clients and achieve the results that they want."

"Automation Anywhere helped us to reduce the work time on data operations."

"The technical support is good, and we have not had any issues."

"Now, we can have the bot check all of them."

More Automation Anywhere pros

"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."

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

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

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

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

"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."

More BMC Track-It! pros

"I think the technical support is pretty good. They can be a little bit slow sometimes, but overall I think they're good."

"It offers enhanced and efficient communication between the requester and the four pillar EDR through an online chat platform."

"For me, the most valuable feature is the flexibility it allows in customization."

"We recently moved to ServiceNow from HP Service Manager about two years ago and it's been leaps and bounds just better than what we had before."

"From my standpoint, it's the process flexibility."

"The flexibility of the product in regards to configuring and customizing it to meet the company needs within a few clicks."

"The area where we have benefited a lot is that, initially, it was very difficult to have end-to-end visibility into what was happening, and we were able to establish that with ServiceNow."

"The most valuable aspect of the solution is the possibility of the application development cap so that we can digitize workflows."

More ServiceNow pros

Cons

"The feature, which might be interesting for companies that don't already have an identity management system, was a bit tricky because I would have preferred the system to directly rely on our corporate identity and access management system to manage the bot's credentials."

"Sometimes, the ESX services will stop. We are working with IT to resolve this, as it's not our fault. Automation Anywhere is stopping the service, and during that time, the bot will be stopped. Right now, we are logging into the client machine and restarting/rebooting them, then restarting the services. As some of our processes run at night, we won't know that the service is down since our processes run 24/7. This issue is then escalated to the manager. This is the current challenge that we are facing, and we would like them to improve this."

"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."

"IQ Bot requires a significant improvement for its data detection and data retention, mainly from the previously trained documents: regarding the document's format, layout, data contained within the document, the type of data that needs to be extracted."

"I would like a couple more features where I can talk and the line comes up automatically. I can just put on a mic, like in "Ok Google". With "Ok Google", I can tell it to please open an Excel spreadsheet with the header read. If this is there, then I don't even need to sit on a computer, I can just dictate my commands and it will automatically come up."

"The bot scaling process was painful, when you go beyond a few bots, and because we had stability issues. We had to work through the issues, and they took us a long time."

"I am looking for artificial intelligence and machine learning. I hope that they introduce them in A2019."

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

More Automation Anywhere cons

"Their self-service is not user friendly."

"The solution is cumbersome to use."

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

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

"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."

"It's like, "That's not an answer." It's like, "What should we do? We need guidance." Well, "No. you can do anything with it." Okay. That doesn't quite help me as a user, and future administrator, or as an executive."

"All the screens are similar. It's the same platform for everything and you need to familiarize yourself with it. In the past, you used to have one screen per application. Now, you have everything integrated into one. Everybody will manage the same screen and they need to navigate into the same screen as the Internet Explorer with a toolbar with the categories and look for the things you want to see or the models you want to use."

"It's missing monitoring capabilities."

"I'd like to have an offline mode. For us, we do a lot of workforce management."

"I do not like the user interface. I would like to see a more streamlined process to assign tickets to support people."

"The solution could improve by being more stable."

"I think some of the things we run into is the patching and how often patches come out to fix stuff."

"I find the pricing of ServiceNow to be high and somewhat reasonable."

More ServiceNow cons

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Automation Anywhere is costlier than the general competition. That is aligned with the share of the market it has."

"In the Indian market, I feel that for mid-size companies, such as ourselves, that having multiple bots costs a lot. If Automation Anywhere wants to expand in the Indian market, they will need to look at their pricing."

"If it is saving FTE and Generating a good ROI then it is Worth Investing."

"There may be room for the product to be more competitively priced to excel in the market."

"Our company is investing a lot of money in Automation Anywhere. They have saved money wherever humans are working. They invest a lot of money in FTEs and other logistics, so the money saving is very pretty good with Automation Anywhere. While I don't know the exact figure, the tool is saving us millions of dollars as well as saving about 40,000 hours in the last year."

"It is not too expensive, but there are many tools available in the market that can provide the same functionality at a cheaper price."

"Automation Anywhere falls within a mid-range price point when compared to other RPA tools on the market."

"We have established a CoE and we take our bot opportunities based on their ROIs. The best ROI opportunity goes to development first. Our ROI opportunities are compliance, profitable growth, productivity enhancements, productivity gains, number of hours the productivity saved, and resources not available that the work can be done by the bot. However, the single most important criteria that we use to measure ROI is how much time does the bot cut down from an analyst's work, as this has the best ROI. E.g., if an analyst is spending a 100 hours of work that a bot can do in one hour, we calculate the 99 hours saved as ROI."

More Automation Anywhere pricing and cost advice

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

"There are licensing fees."

"Getting the solution up and running is expensive."

"I rate the solution's pricing a six out of ten. The pricing for ServiceNow is based on a SaaS platform with annual contracts. However, it may not offer much flexibility for adjusting usage in the short term."

"ServiceNow is an expensive solution."

"It is fairly expensive."

"I would say it is moderately expensive, ranging from six to seven on a scale of ten."

"We know that ServiceNow is not cheap, it's more expensive than other solutions. But we are trying to increase our ability to handle tickets so that the cost per ticket is less."

"The solution is expensive."
