Nadeem K. - PeerSpot reviewer
Rpa Developer at a consultancy with 11-50 employees
Automation has freed teams from repetitive finance and supply tasks and supports global operations
In the current organization, we had trouble initially because I think the documentation and support could be better than what it is now. This is one difference between Automation Anywhere and other RPA tools such as UiPath. In UiPath, if you have an issue, you go to the UiPath website and search for it, and you get lots of help materials. In Automation Anywhere, you do not get exactly what you are looking for. You get a very large number of results when you search for something, and from this large result set, you have to filter out what you need, or only partial information will be available. User handbooks are available for each product. In that regard, I would say Automation Anywhere is lagging compared to other RPA tools. It is difficult to get hold of their customer support team. I want to clarify that it is not a matter of us building logic on Automation Anywhere and it failing. When it is a product-related issue, they have to give us support because we only know how to develop within Automation Anywhere. We do not know how to fix Automation Anywhere itself. Whenever we have an issue, trying to get in touch with them always takes three to four business days.

Enterprise Cloud Cost Over And Visibility Parts at a manufacturing company with 10,001+ employees
Clear license visibility has reduced waste and guides current software spending decisions
We often communicate with the technical support of Flexera One, and they are providing a good service to us. We are raising cases for the SKU-based library of Flexera One. Suppose there are SKUs which are not recognized. We raise a case with them asking if they could please recognize this SKU or add this SKU to the SKU library. We are in touch with them. Suppose we are not understanding any feature of Flexera One, then we are asking them for a one-to-one call. They interact with us and easily tell us things which we can understand. I will give it a 10 for the technical support of Flexera One on a scale from one to ten.

Solutions Architect at Parseq
A user-friendly solution that has a good user interface, but its technical support is not good enough
Around 20 to 25 staff members are needed to deploy and maintain the solution, including two managers, one architect, and other implementers. IBM Tivoli Asset Management for IT does not adopt the latest technology. The solution can be integrated with our existing IT environment through some web services and connectors. Overall, I rate the solution a seven out of ten.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"We are trying to do about 100 automated processes this year, and I have confidence that the solution is able to cater our needs."
"The RPA automation itself is valuable."
"Automating a tedious manual process has helped to reduce manual work and the time taken to process the records."
"The features of Automation Anywhere are quite impressive; one aspect I particularly appreciate is the integration of AI, which has reached a mature level in its capability for agentic processes, greatly enhancing product usability and enabling adaptation to complex use cases."
"The marketing automation software provides easy workflow creation and management."
"Courses on Automation Anywhere University are very easy to learn."
"There are quite a few very strong features available to users."
"It has improved a lot. We could identify a lot of manual processes that can be automated for our customers. The scope of automation by using Automation Anywhere has become wonderful. IQ Bot and AI sense are the incredible features provided."
"Flexera One helps us gain more customers because we are able to look after customer assets, which is really good."
"The best feature of Flexera One is the latest feature about AI, which really impresses me because I can log into the Flexera One portal, click on the AI, and ask it questions."
"I like the way it does its compliance. I like its discovery, and I like the fact that it keeps separate hardware and assets and provides easy accessibility to raw data."
"In my opinion, the best features of the product are that it is precise, the SKU library contains all the products and it rightly associates all the use rights and the licensing that is required, and the analytics feature is helpful in strategic decision-making because it adequately and appropriately gives you the reports."
"So the solution has a really great licensing module, and they're constantly keeping up with the newest trends."
"I recommend it highly."
"I like the way that Flexera connects our contracts to our purchases."
"Audit readiness and 100% users and usage calculation helped the organization to save money."
"IBM Tivoli Asset Management for IT is a user-friendly solution that has a good user interface."
 

Cons

"In the 10.7 version, the back-end port for the MetaBot password has looping. This has been a type of limitation."
"In the next release, I think it has to be more compatible when deployed with the Citrix environment."
"To improve the product, one aspect that Automation Anywhere can work on is archiving legacy data effectively. Currently, data older than current versions remains on the server, slowing the system down."
"AA has many features but the issue is with the loss of overhead on computing resources. For example, if the bot is encrypted, the bot should decrypt it first then act accordingly. If there are issues with the logic in the bot, there will be a lot of computer memory overload. There should be an additional feature for cloud functionality."
"From a QA and development perspective, we would like to communicate with the tech support through email and have that put in the dashboard. This would let us better track the ticket and make it easier for us to communicate with Automation Anywhere."
"The product needs to catch up to the promise of known technology and apply more intelligent behaviors concerning AI or unstructured learning."
"We do not have a precise area that needs improvement, but sometimes while running bots that traverse through different websites, the screen hangs or takes time to fully load."
"Their support also needs improvement."
"The mainframe need improvement."
"Sun Solaris server discovery needs to be improved. Apple Mac OS was not supported fully."
"While it shows various configurations regarding where my server and VM are placed, it does not indicate how many licenses are needed or how the calculations are performed."
"There is room for improvement in the purchasing module. There are things I would change in that. Also, the automation components, like having the contracts, scheduling, and notifications embedded into the application, which they've been promising to do since 2014."
"The biggest challenge I am facing is that Flexera One has a lot of data. It takes time to load and process."
"They could improve their reporting. I'd particularly like them to allow you to schedule it."
"Flexera One does not have an agent for it, so it can't report on mainframe usage."
"The first and foremost aspect that could be improved about Flexera One is its capability for customization. It is not easily customizable, and if Flexera One does not have an integration available for different tools and publishers, then creating a custom integration or custom compliance for that particular publisher becomes very difficult."
"The solution’s initial setup is complex and technical support is not good enough."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The cost of Automation Anywhere is high in Turkey due to the weak economy."
"It is reasonable and affordable. If you consider the tasks that we can get done using this, the pricing is reasonable and affordable."
"The licensing cost for Automation Anywhere is high."
"I don't agree with the IQ Bot licensing costs, which depends on the consumption of the document rather than per bot or user. This is confusing for me, because most of the cases for us in a possible future scenario, there would be a lot of invalid data to be scanned to get to real data. E.g., we would have to supply approximately 100 pages of scanned data to extract two pages of original data. In these type of cases, the IQ Bot might be a costly venture."
"In most of the cases, the product value is very good. If the infrastructure, implementation, and framework are good, then generally, the client can get a good return on investment."
"The solution's pricing is pretty decent."
"It's a bit expensive compared to other RPA tools on the market."
"We have seen ROI on one of the process, but not on the other processes yet."
"It was certainly on a par with the price we were paying for Snow License Manager. It wasn't overly expensive."
"I can say that from a price perspective, you can go for FlexNet Manager if you have a very small environment."
"IBM Tivoli Asset Management for IT is an expensive solution."
