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.

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.

Current setup enables smooth problem-solving but lacks comprehensive guidance and local support

More information about setup procedures and a more user-friendly front end would be beneficial. We need more information for setup processes. It is difficult to do the work independently, requiring us to hire external companies for maintenance hours to fix small issues that could be resolved faster in-house if we had better information. We have been looking for an upgrade version, but finding local service has been difficult. It has been challenging trying to get things done. Speaking with the Microsoft office, we found there are no local companies with substantial experience with SCSM. What we have now was installed five or six years ago. It has been difficult to change configurations and look for upgrades, even with all the manuals. Our office is considering moving away from SCSM and getting a service desk solution outside of Microsoft. For me, it has been a good tool to get help and solve internal problems in the office. It is a very good tool, but the difficulty in getting local service or more information is pushing us to look for another tool.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"We saw a 70 percent decrease in manual steps. If something took 10 steps to do, we are doing it in three steps today."

"They've now included the code so we can add some additional code, and that's good."

"Automation Anywhere has significantly helped us achieve our automation goals, mainly by reducing costs, which alleviates organizational burdens."

"It has saved our HR department time since this process automatically happens without anybody's intervention. Our HR department is able to devote their time to more productive work or activities. It has also saved a lot of costs since every employee in the HR department is involved in the attendance and payroll process. Second, the process is now no more human dependent."

"It has the ability to tag different components within the automation. We built it to track the ROI and stability of the product."

"Automate Anywhere can just mimic what a human does."

"Automation Anywhere is a ten out of ten."

"Courses on Automation Anywhere University are very easy to learn."

More Automation Anywhere pros

"The most valuable features of GLPI are its ITSM capabilities, including ticketing, automatic tasks, plugins, and notification systems."

"The product is user-friendly."

"The product is very easy to deploy."

"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 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."

"We use SCSM to manage all of our IT operations, including incident and service requests and problem management."

"The solution has made managing the environment streamlined and much easier."

"If it is correctly configured, you can access and give service quickly to all the end users."

"The remote access is one of the features I really enjoy. The pushing of email updates and things like that are very good."

"SCSM helps us keep organized by tracking all user demands and change requests. However, the reporting is not sufficient to provide a clear view of ongoing projects. It helps with daily operations and change request management."

"The reporting is very good."

"The most requested feature from our customers is the helpdesk ticketing system."

"The solution's setup process is relatively straightforward due to the familiar deployment steps similar to other Microsoft solutions."

More SCSM pros

Cons

"We've had some technical difficulties connecting, but that's more on our environment and how we have the machines and everything set up. It's not specific to Automation Anywhere. However, it's pricier than some of the other tools."

"One thing about it that we have not found to be exceptionally useful are the built-in bot analytics, the Bot Insights. From our own extensive experimentation, as well as from what we've understood from other people using this solution, we've been able to come up with better solutions using our own in-house analytics and our own systems than through theirs."

"It's somewhat pricier than some of the other tools that we've used, and the breakout between the different applications is also somewhat costly."

"The only thing I would advocate for is making Automation Anywhere's developer environment Mac-enabled because many of our graduate students are coming out of school with Macs. Everything else in the Automation Anywhere world is built for Windows."

"I would like to see a comment feature that allows you to embed comments/notes into an action sidebar, without having to actually take up a line of code in order to write such a statement."

"I suggest that they add some features in dashboard, where you can say, "These type of features are things that people like more." You want to add those to your project and showcase them to the client so they will be happier. Because you know what features people like if you give a suggestion, that is good for everyone."

"Cloud API vision and OCR engine integration should be more effective."

"Moving away from client-server architecture to web-based deployment compromised developer experience of app reliability offered by 11.3.X flavors. Desktop app experience >>> Web experience, developers are not pleased."

More Automation Anywhere cons

"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."

"The stability of Windows OS could be enhanced."

"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 solution must be more flexible."

"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."

"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 have found SCSM not adequate enough to carry out some functions."

"I would like to have the ability to integrate with other systems from the back-end. I am using Orchestrator and it is a little bit difficult because there are too many constraints."

"Mobile application integration would be an improvement."

"Service Manager is not doing very well because, for example, there is no default web application and in order to use Service Manager we have to use the desktop console which is a disadvantage."

"It crashes our client's computers. Sometimes they get blue screens. It would be useful if SCSM could check the upgrades or patches before we implemented them to see if they are going to crash a client's system. Or, if it does install, and the client's system crashes, it would be good if the solution could revert back somehow."

"There is no development with this product, and we had to go and buy additional ITSM solutions to sit on top of it. We had to buy products from companies like Cireson and Cased Dimensions in order to get the functionality that we need out of it. So, we're using Service Manager as an engine, rather than as a full-blown product. It is the engine, but we have other products sitting on top of it to make it work properly."

"They might be looking for additional functionalities that SCSM could integrate."

"We would like to see a web-based interface that works on mobile devices."

More SCSM cons

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The cost is affordable, which makes an easy barrier to entry for the RPA market."

"It is expensive. I would rate Automation Anywhere an eight out of ten in terms of pricing."

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

"Costs savings have been seen by employing bots for multiple shifts instead of people."

"Automation Anywhere is affordable."

"Automation Anywhere's price is considerably better than UiPath's."

"Based on what I've heard, it's costly, but I don't know much about its pricing."

"The pricing is reasonable and one can achieve ROI faster when compared to other tools."

More Automation Anywhere pricing and cost advice

"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."

"The license for SCSM is cheap."

"The price of the solution could be better. My organization has an enterprise annual license with Microsoft which provides us support."

"I would rate the pricing as two out of five."

"It comes free with the enterprise agreement that we have, but the expense really is in having to buy another product to sit on top of it to make it work properly. You wind up having to buy additional support and additional product with their own support and maintenance costs on top of that."

"It is an expensive solution."

"The pricing is reasonable."

"Licensing can be complex and confusing."

"The platform is competitively priced."
