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.

Centralized alerts and ticketing have improved SLA compliance and guided infrastructure decisions
For system monitoring and the alert system within ConnectWise PSA, we find it very useful, and its critical alerts are very important for us for ISOs and SOC compliances. The ticketing follow-up system is good, and there are many features that are very good in ConnectWise PSA. We use the time tracking feature with ConnectWise PSA, specifically for SLAs. The time tracking feature helps us improve billing accuracy, as it is really useful in improving the SLA of the tickets. We have different SLAs for different customers, including those who need a response within one hour and those who need a solution in one hour. According to those customer requirements, we have set the SLAs on the platform, and we get alerts if a ticket is going to be nearing the SLA. With the help of that, we improve the turnaround time and achieve the SLAs up to 90 percent maximum. ConnectWise PSA's reporting tools help our decision-making process a lot because, at certain points, we must make critical calls on moving and rebuilding servers. We can see the number of tickets and analyze server performance to make decisions, so it helps in that way.

Has helped streamline ticketing and change management while offering clear documentation support
Documentation and learning materials are available for Ivanti Neurons for ITSM, and if you check the vendor sites, you will find documents for each feature. I believe that short videos should be created and uploaded for newcomers to learn quickly since time can be limited. If a user believes in Ivanti, they should also believe in all its products including Ivanti Neurons for ITSM and Neurons because they are genuinely putting in hard work. This is reflected in the documentation, though I suggest they work on creating more videos. Other than that, you will find everything you need in the community site and documentation site. On a scale of 1-10, I rate Ivanti Neurons for ITSM an 8 out of 10.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"Automation Anywhere has save us more than $40,000 in the past year."
"In my case in particular, I come from a business background, not an IT background. So, it sort of speaks for itself that I was able to pickup its functionality and how it works. In the space of two years time, I've gone from a junior developer to a senior specialist. So, it really speaks for itself in terms of being user-friendly."
"Automation Anywhere is one of the leading RPA tool vendors and they have done splendid work on improving their tool."
"It has been really useful for traditional RPA, which remains our forte."
"The development of the company from Automation Anywhere V11 to a2019 was valuable. I found many important and new features, like changing the way we write code and programming. It became much easier and very flexible in version 2019A. It became very easy to use and the recording was also good. Excel became very good too."
"Efficiency is something that has increased a lot. Productivity has increased a lot too."
"The universal recorder is a kind of hybrid recorder that enables the user to record the data across devices."
"The core RPA capability is valuable."
"We are able to use our ticket system to track any remediation of a device stored in our configurations."
"The most valuable feature is the management of projects from start to finish, starting with sales and going right to project delivery, with automation and integration with our other systems and really good usability supported by a very thorough knowledge base."
"My tool to manage my devices and my tool for ticketing are all in one."
"ConnectWise Manage has made a difference in the connection to all of the other employees."
"I like the search function up top where if you know what you're searching for, you can find it pretty quickly. Because you've got the option to change what the search parameters are, whether you're searching for a project, quote, ticket, or an invoice, you can kind of pick and choose what you're looking for."
"It handles ticketing pretty well, and it's not something I have many critiques for."
"We're using the solution for ticketing and billing, and those features are useful."
"The platform is easy to use."
"The integrations are quite simple and clear."
"Ivanti Neurons allows me to adjust our workflow according to our needs."
"It is relatively cost-effective compared to other options like ServiceNow. Additionally, it is highly stable."
"Overall, the platform, in its abilities, is really powerful, especially now with AI as a part of hyper-automation."
"Primarily, I believe the focus lies on discovery, workflow configuration, and automation."
"The solution is easy to use and has a user-friendly interface."
"The interface, workflow, and dashboards are powerful and easy to manage for tracking KPIs and sharing strategies with our customers."
"The solution's installation depends on its customization. It is easy."
 

Cons

"Improving on the ease of use and user experience of Automation Anywhere (AA) could help."
"Setup and deployment of this product could be difficult for those without experience. These processes should be made easier."
"One way Automation Anywhere can be improved is in ticketing."
"For assisted automation, the AA bot needs the facility to be triggered through an application interface after collecting input from the user."
"The platform has good capabilities, but it could improve by providing more development options."
"It would be helpful if we could start running a process from a particular step."
"The quality and response time of the support, even on Sev-1 tickets, is not satisfactory."
"Automation Anywhere can be improved by integrating self-correction capabilities into the bots, particularly as we develop RPA, where changes in environment paths require additional redeveloping efforts."
"ConnectWise Manage can improve third-party integrations and the UI. The UI is good but it could improve in the graphics."
"The speed could be better, and the reporting could be a lot better."
"The UI needs a lot of improvement. ConnectWise has a very outdated 90s interface and it's difficult to access from the mobile app because of the limited number of features you can access."
"The UX for general users can be improved as the UI is quite clunky and complicated."
"ConnectWise PSA’s graphical interface is a little old."
"Sometimes it is a little bit slow, which is the only complaint I have about it."
"The technical support of ConnectWise PSA is not very good."
"The cloud platform has some slow days, which is an issue."
"The patching for non-Windows OSes such as Linux is poor."
"There is room for improvement in terms of response time. The support team takes a long time to respond."
"There could be an improvement in the ability to easily integrate other systems without extensive development."
"The user interface must be made simpler and more effective."
"We'd like more integration with solutions like SolarWinds."
"Areas that have room for improvement with Ivanti Neurons for ITSM might include some of the reliability with Mac devices."
"There's a lack of integration with other products. This needs to be improved."
"The process to add fields is time consuming and requires the system to be offline while you apply an Edit Set."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Automation Anywhere pricing and licensing are competitive compared to the other automation vendors."
"I feel the cost of licensing is very high for the A2019 version."
"More than 40 to 50 percent of the IT budget will be for the cost of automation projects in the coming years since these projects enhance operations add value."
"Automation Anywhere is thought to be quite expensive, especially for smaller organizations."
"I am using that Automation Anywhere Master Certification for version 11. Recently, this has been updated in Automation Anywhere University. Until this month, it's free to use. There are no charges. That's why I would like to complete it this month."
"The pricing that we received from Automation Anywhere in the beginning was very economical for us. We've seen a lot of benefit from what we spent to what we're receiving. From the beginning, it's been a very low-cost implementation for us."
"I am not sure about the costs, but two Bot Runners and four Bot Creators may cost approximately 1CR."
"Pricing is affordable and I would recommend beginning with the Starter Package."
"The pricing of ConnectWise Manage is reasonable."
"The pricing is not based on my clients so much as it is on how many people I have accessing the system, and I think it's pretty good."
"There are some different add-ons and benefits that are optional and come at an additional cost."
"I have one monthly license for all of the ConnectWise products I use, and it's $85 per user."
"We're paying $940 a month for 14 users."
"The cost can be the main barrier. It's not a solution for a three person company. It just isn't going to be cost effective. Because ConnectWise Manage does have everything there, the licensing is a little bit restrictive as far as how they want to granularly assign licenses rather than having more of an all-inclusive package."
"If you want to add more users who can handle support there will be additional fees. What we call our extensions, we need to pay more for. They tell us that we need to acquire more licenses or something like that. I think it's very expensive, because in terms the pula, our local currency, it's about 20,000 per license for each user. It is an annual fee."
"The product is affordable for small businesses."
"I came to know from my team members that my company used to operate ServiceNow but shifted to Ivanti Neurons for ITSM due to its low licensing prices."
"The price is on the higher side. The support is included in the standard licensing fees."
