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.

Codeless with no customization required and excellent pricing

We have just displaced a ServiceNow installation, which is a major win. We have become partners with Halo and reduced our partnerships with other enterprise ITSM providers. We've actually become partners with Halo, and we've got rid of our partnership with Ivanti ITSM. It's a real market changer, for sure.

Comprehensive workflows and data views have supported complex teams but still need cost improvements

JIRA Service Management is costly. The pricing structure needs improvement. When I add some plugins, I have to pay the cost for every user whether they are using it or not. For smaller companies, the detailed workflow editing and the kind of details that JIRA Service Management provides would be complex. For startups and smaller companies, JIRA Service Management would be complex. The cloud offering is easier because I don't have to manage the infrastructure. There are two templates of the project: company-managed and team-managed. Team-managed is a newer feature, which is good for startup-kind companies where they don't need control over data from multiple projects displaying in one dashboard. For startups, JIRA Service Management is somewhat complex with its schemes and everything. Capacity management should be improved in terms of additional features in the next release of JIRA Service Management.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"Automation Anywhere is a pioneer in RPA tools."

"The company continues with research and development to expand the capabilities of the product to meet market needs."

"Automation Anywhere is a very good tool because it helps you along the process."

"With the cash flow generated just on the one bot we had operating, it's paid for itself in the first month."

"There are multiple levels of cloning. In case screen cloning doesn't work, you can do object-based cloning or keystroke-level cloning, depending upon what parameters are available to you and what is the level of information that you capture. You can traverse between object cloning, which is the lowest form of cloning to a stroke-based cloning, which is like taking care of each keystroke-level which is made by the agent."

"it helps to save time when doing processes. E.g., when you do a manual process for eight hours, that time is saved because the bot will do that task for you. The process owners will be able to do the analysis part. The repetitive/manual part will be done by the robot."

"By using SNMP configurations and Excel, I was able to read the mail. I used this functionality to categorize the fabric, then I used this information to correlate the value to Jira along with Excel."

"With the help of Automation Anywhere, we are able to upload 10k documents in 1 to 4 working hours which is a great achievement for us."

More Automation Anywhere pros

"The product’s UI is very good."

"The most valuable aspect is that is is codeless."

"The solution's initial setup process was quite straightforward... I rate the technical support a nine and a half out of ten."

"Two features I like about Jira are its ticketing system and its compatibility with Confluence. Also, the Knowledge Base is one of the more valuable features that would really benefit us."

"My advice to users is that JIRA Service Management is a good project management tool to handle projects respectively and efficiently."

"From where I sit, the cloud version is superior, mainly due to not having to manage the upkeep of Jira, which was quite frankly a pain, but that's just the nature of Jira."

"Automation capabilities allow for automatic ticket creation using monitoring tools."

"I like the precise ticket management capabilities. JIRA Service Management is easy to use as well."

"This solution has helped us a great deal in project management tracking and forecasting."

"I think one of the most valuable things is that it's all integrated."

"The dashboards are nicely laid out."

More JIRA Service Management pros

Cons

"They need to make the AA stable across all browsers and I hope to see it fixed in the next version."

"In the 10.7 version, the back-end port for the MetaBot password has looping. This has been a type of limitation."

"As a developer or user, I feel that the performance of the overall package could be made a little better or reliable. For example, if I'm opening up a heavy Excel file, which is uploaded in some shared drive over the net, and I have my box coded to open that Excel to do some work or formatting on it, and depending on the network load and the size of the file, this client version while trying to access that file becomes unstable at times. It goes into the hang position until a human being comes in, ends the task, and restarts it. Until this happens, it does not respond."

"When we are moving from one version to another version, it's very difficult because most of the features stop working."

"Automation Anywhere could use to be more stabilized."

"These guys need to build a good team."

"The expectations of what we thought was possible, versus what appears to be possible, were a little bit off."

"I would like more integration with Microsoft Excel. More screenshots that can be integrated with Excel would help our customers too."

More Automation Anywhere cons

"The product does not have its own orchestration engine."

"The solution's integration part needs to improve...In the future release of the solution, I expect to see certain changes in the programming of the solution. A customer of the solution should be able to customize it as per their need."

"There are no improvements needed. There is very little that HALO has not already built that is not on its roadmap."

"I am not familiar if there's an integration with Visual Studio from Jira."

"At times you will need add-ons or additional software, so built-in features would be helpful."

"I feel JIRA Service Management could be better if the APIs from the sponsoring team provided more support and flexibility in API endpoints."

"If we can have an easier way to deploy this solution without the help of a consultant and a more reliable way of deploying procedures, it would be quite helpful."

"Lacks an interface where the customer can report issues."

"It does not integrate very well with our email system (MS Outlook)."

"It is difficult to navigate if you don't have any prior knowledge."

"The price is a point of contention for me. It does overall work out as a significant amount of money that will be spent over a shorter period of time."

More JIRA Service Management cons

Pricing and Cost Advice

"One of the key features that we chose, the bot as a service or the BotFarm, when they launched version 11.3, they decided not to have the BotFarm anymore. This put us in a situation because we expected to have bots on demand, just like our cloud software. This would have been cost efficient for us to use. We hope to see this again being realized with A2019. I hope the scalability from an on demand basis improves."

"Including the AWS setup and everything per license, it costs us around $10,000 on an annual basis. I believe that is pretty reasonable considering the teams that we have."

"We save approximately 10,000 hours per year."

"Price is where I'm least satisfied. Other vendors are more willing to offer discounts."

"Regarding the price, licensing, and maintenance, Automation Anywhere provides its customers with its best and affordable value."

"Because it reduced the time duration of our processes, our costs went down."

"It is one of the most affordable RPA solutions, and as for licensing, they offer a community edition that greatly helps anyone who aspires to learn about the product before buying the enterprise solution."

"Annual licensing costs would be about $100,000."

More Automation Anywhere pricing and cost advice

"The product’s pricing is competitive and less complicated."

"It's $69 per user per month. Only administrators need a license, and there is no limit to the number of endpoints."

"The solution's pricing model is good. Also, they still follow the old concurrent licensing method."

"Buying a software solution is only a half part of the solution (or even less). You need to optimize usage of the software by hiring professionals who will help you to make the most of the software, especially in the beginning."

"JSM's pricing is one of the best, starting at around $10 per user, per month, with volume discounts available."

"I would suggest to always buy licenses through an Atlassian partner, so you can also rely on their expertise."

"JIRA Service Desk has different pricing as it is based on agents. On average, the price is about $300 per agent."

"The pricing is free for us because we are an associate partner for the product."

"It's not really expensive, especially when you compare to ServiceNow or other solutions, and it's not expensive to maintain."

"We have an annual license with JIRA Service Management, but it is billed monthly."

"It costs around $150 to $200 per user."
