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.

Simple to use and very easy to deploy
For the free version, the tool should improve the graphics as it is kind of old school. The graphics are very flat compared to Google Workspace and Office 365. If you are not concerned about aesthetics, it is a fine tool. It is a good tool if you are more focused on the functionality. There are some bugs in the tool because it has a lot of features. Correlating all of the features can sometimes cause the tool to fail. If you create a ticket and then link it to an asset, there can arise some issues, but with support, one can customize and fix the issues in the product. The cost of the tool is an area of concern since it is 19 Euros per agent for a month. If your help desk team is of ten people, then you can multiply 19 Euros by ten people. The updates will be automatic if you get the tool's cloud version, but for the free version, you need to learn how to manage or administer Linux, PHP, and Apache because you will be updating the system manually. The updates are available, but you need to ensure that you have a test environment first before you apply it to the production environment because sometimes the updates mess up the data. I need to have a test environment first before loading it, but aside from the system, you also need to update the OS, PHP, and the web server itself. A lot of administrative tasks are needed if it is the free version, but for the cloud, you just use the product.

Integrated planning has improved production scheduling and now reduces downtime and costs
The biggest friction point I have run into with IFS Cloud Platform is user adoption, which has been the biggest challenge, as different users in the organization need to get accustomed to the new processes after years of using spreadsheets and legacy systems, requiring training and a mindset shift, along with challenging data migration and process standardization. My advice to someone considering IFS Cloud Platform with a similar workflow is to spend sufficient time understanding and standardizing their business processes before implementing it, as the technology is very powerful, but the real value comes when processes, data, and teams are all aligned. I would rate my overall experience with IFS Cloud Platform as a 9 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

"We have found that the automation bots we have developed give great savings in terms of higher productivity and efficiency."
"Automation Anywhere brings speed with accuracy; we are replacing a lot of manual work that our agents used to do, this has been automated now, and we get things done faster."
"IQ Bot has been one of the top-notch solutions that I have seen in the OCR field, which covers a lot of the areas where we can transition unstructured data into structured data."
"Automation Anywhere is scalable and capable of adapting to any new requirements and technologies."
"We have saved 60 to 70 percent on operations."
"In our fund management and fund reconciliation process, we had a lot of headcount. Automation has significantly reduced our FTE count, investing that IT personnel into other work. Also, the quality of the work has slightly improved."
"One of the most valuable features is object cloning, the ability to get into websites and do things faster."
"Its integration with source control is very refreshing. There could be a little bit more maturity around how to do some of the features, but not having to go outside the app, not having a separate set of procedures, allows you to check in and check out right from within the app. You can make edits and uploads and undo your checkouts."
"The most valuable features of GLPI are asset management, asset tracking, asset reporting, and ticket management. We use it as a configuration management database (CMDB), which is very useful for impact assessment and change management. The license management feature is also beneficial because it is bundled with asset management. When an agent reports a certain set into the database, all the software running on that host or server is assessed, collected, and reported. This makes license management very useful. Since implementing GLPI, we've noticed that our IT operations are more stable. The tool allows us to manage changes in the environment more effectively by creating change requests for assets. GLPI supports our processes, allowing us to organize IT operations with custom forms and workflows, making it quite flexible. Although the deployment is still in progress, we see significant benefits in organizing our IT processes with this tool."
"The product is very easy to deploy."
"The product is user-friendly."
"The tool's most valuable features include UI, visualization, and data scraping."
"The best feature for me is the power of customization, allowing us to add extensions from each place of GLPI."
"GLPI helps with tracking device assets. For example, when I assign a laptop to an employee, the GLPI agent installed on the client device gathers detailed information about it."
"The most valuable features of GLPI are its ITSM capabilities, including ticketing, automatic tasks, plugins, and notification systems."
"IFS has been completely rebuilt, modernized, and cloud-based so we don't need bulky software installations."
"We applied the ISO 20000 standard using Assyst."
"Having a young talented programmer, during the six years of use, we were able to save around 75 000 EUR preparing simple modifications using customization rather than ordering them in IFS / Partner."
"A high level of ERP can be handled in IFS."
"I like the connectivity and interfaces. In V10, it's easy to modify the interfaces and layouts, but it's becoming more complicated in the cloud. IFS is excellent at asset maintenance and incident management. They have specialized modules for IFS that cover incident and asset management and everything else connected to finance. The reporting in IFS is also easy to use."
"There are fewer fields on the user screen compared to other products. This makes the UI a little bit easier to understand."
"Scalability-wise, I rate the solution a nine or ten out of ten since it is an extremely scalable solution that can be used for various use cases with thousands of users."
"IFS Cloud Platform has impacted my organization by allowing our team to spend less time reconciling data and more time executing business operations, as resources are utilized more effectively, reducing waste and improving productivity, while also resulting in reduced downtime and lowered maintenance costs, allowing management to make informed decisions based on actual data rather than historical reports."
 

Cons

"I would like for AA to add an inbuilt debug log that has functionalities to view the values of variables during run time in order to have a point-to-point debugging in case of an error."
"Support is not very satisfactory."
"Technical support is not very good and they sometimes promise what they cannot deliver. They promised us that they would implement multitrigger and according to sources delivery of that functionality is not in their plans."
"I noticed that from version 10.5 to 11.3 the number of clicks to start a bot through the Control Room and Schedule Manager have increased. In certain cases, I would like to see that become simpler, faster, and easier."
"We face issues with Excel file creation. I’m trying to create a file in Excel .xls, it is getting corrupted."
"Looking at the POC's requirements and use cases, our customers are asking us for the OCRing of handwritten documents."
"I would like a couple more features where I can talk and the line comes up automatically."
"The price has room for improvement."
"The solution has occasional lags and glitches."
"For the free version, the tool should improve the graphics as it is kind of old school. The graphics are very flat compared to Google Workspace and Office 365."
"The solution must be more flexible."
"One area for improvement is the occasional issues we encounter, which are not directly related to GLPI but are due to network providers. These include network errors like 502 and 504, indicating some failure in network communication with the server."
"A stringent plugin management would benefit GLPI. You can extend GLPI with many plugins, but plugin development is handled by individuals worldwide. Since it's an open-source solution, plugins are developed independently, and you never know which plugin is compatible with your version of GLPI. I would suggest that the developers focus more on plugin management to ensure plugins are more consistent and compatible with most versions of GLPI. Currently, you always have to check if a plugin works with your GLPI install, which can be inconvenient."
"I've encountered some issues with GLPI. The official documentation on the GLPI website recommends using PHP version 8.3, but it used to recommend PHP version 8.2."
"The stability of Windows OS could be enhanced."
"Technical support could be improved."
"When it comes to AI, I feel that is the area where we expect something more from IFS Cloud Platform."
"However, if we had any bids with the other products Assyst unfortunately would have lost the bids."
"IFS Applications can improve the reporting capabilities and increase the speed of feedback time in the IFS Applications. This would help with the overall performance of the solution and provide better experiences for customers."
"The solution's initial setup process was complex...The technical support my company receives from the implementation partners of the solution is not that great."
"The solution's reporting tools still require improvement."
"Pricing is comparatively or sufficiently higher than maybe all other IT solutions."
"Customization can only be done by IFS and not by the clients themselves."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"We generally follow the Gain-Sharing Pricing model, which enables the customer to start getting the RPA benefits right from day one of their implementation."
"I think it's $5,500 per license."
"Our pricing a year ago was $600 per license."
"The starting price, which is a one-off fee is a bit high and this may deter mid and small-sized companies from acquiring and decide to shun the platform."
"Pricing is too high for small-scale groups. The Control Room yearly fee is high, making it difficult to break even."
"The price for Automation Anywhere is reasonable."
"Because it reduced the time duration of our processes, our costs went down."
"Cost is the biggest area in need of improvement for Automation Anywhere. Annually it's $250,000. That's what deterred us right away."
"The solution's pricing is reasonable."
"I have used the tool's open-source version...GLPI Network Cloud is 19 Euros per month. It comes with one agent only, but if you use the IT asset management part, it is unlimited."
"I consider it to be a well-priced solution compared to other mid-range or high-end ERP solutions."
"IFS Applications are competitive in terms of pricing compared to other vendors, such as SAP, Oracle, and Epicor. They are generally cheaper, especially for licensing costs."
"Pricing is an area that could be improved. They could be more competitive."
"The pricing of the solution may appear to be expensive for smaller companies with only tens of users; however, for larger and mid-size industrial companies, IFS is able to win deals and the pricing is competitive in the market."
"Compared to SAP, the pricing for IFS Applications was very affordable. People using the solution would find that it's worth the money."
"There's an additional yearly cost for support."
"Licensing is on an annual basis, with no additional costs."
"Ask for all-inclusive pricing, as they are pretty flexible if you ask for custom models."
