Automation Anywhere

Featured Reviews

Nadeem K.

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.

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

"We have automated a few processes, which take four to five hours to do manually, and when we automated these processes that time became less than one hour with RPA."

"It is very easy for anybody to learn."

"The most valued feature of Automation Anywhere is its Excel functionality; earlier in my career, I used Process Studio as my RPA tool and there was no flexibility of retrieving single cells, but Automation Anywhere has the flexibility to extract data from Excel."

"The features of the Automation Anywhere bot bring us the ability to develop automations to production quickly."

"The Automation Anywhere software has improved our organization by moving us into the RPA climate and allowing us to save on our overhead."

"It's really easy to use. We have a number of people at our firm who are now certified RPA developers that had no development background. They did that just by the online training in some cases. In some cases, it was the online training, as well as a three day class that we brought in-house and had taught."

"Automation Anywhere's most valuable feature is its seamless integration into procurement software, allowing for the automation of purchase orders, billing, employee travel details, and other tasks."

"I am confident that we are saving several million dollars as a result."

More Automation Anywhere pros

"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."

"The product’s UI is very good."

"Simplicity is a key aspect. It is not hard to use."

"We have found the issue type feature particularly valuable, as it provides an out-of-the-box solution that aligns with our needs."

"It makes the IT department more transparent and helps the employees."

"We get software developed faster."

"The solution has improved company functioning by providing more transparency, in my opinion."

"The platform is easy to use."

"The most valuable feature of JIRA Service Management is a plugin we are using for the front end for simple user forms."

"Auditing team uses this solution to track audit findings and follow-up."

More JIRA Service Management pros

Cons

"Bringing a DevOps model for bot implementation integrated through private bot store might be a good idea to improve the tool."

"One of the main concerns with Automation Anywhere is the lack of a robust feature for capturing and managing information from the user interface, something competitors like Blue Prism already offer."

"With Oracle and ServiceNow, there seem to be challenges. With SAP, it worked very well."

"The main problem that I have with Automation Anywhere is the support. When I have problems that I cannot solve by myself, it is hard to achieve a good result with support. Language is another issue."

"Investment effect is almost none, unfortunately."

"It is not able to use OCR effectively and has limited usability."

"With the PDF command, you can only read structured data. If your data is in an unstructured format, there is no command for it in Automation Anywhere. Then, people need to use Python coding if their data is in unstructured format. Therefore, Automation Anywhere needs to improve in the PDF area."

"IQ Bot is bad and needs a lot of tweaking."

More Automation Anywhere cons

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

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

"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."

"At this stage, I would give it a five out of ten. This is mostly because we rely on other products for certain services or features."

"We have a lot of add-ons, however, instead of the add-ons, for example, cloning could be better."

"Recently, in the Jira cloud, we have had an issue. Users are not able to log in and some of the customer data has also been lost."

"The solution should be more formalized. It could be more user-friendly."

"It should be easier to log in."

"Technical support is not the best and could definitely be improved."

"The search function could be improved. We have to search a certain way. There is no generic search; it is more object-oriented search."

"The reporting function of this solution, particularly the filters in the portal, could be improved."

More JIRA Service Management cons

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The cost can be reduced a little for users."

"The cost of Automation Anywhere is high in Turkey due to the weak economy."

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

"The licensing cost could be improved. It costs a lot. At the very least, the developer licenses and the control panels should be made free to enterprises, and the production environment licensed."

"We are currently negotiating a contract. Depending upon that, we will definitely look at increasing usage."

"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."

"It's a bit expensive compared to other RPA tools on the market."

"I'm not sure what the monthly licensing cost is, as that is taken care of by another team, but I would say it's around $100,000."

More Automation Anywhere pricing and cost advice

"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."

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

"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."

"The license we use is on a yearly basis. As a Solution Partner, we were using the free one and were using the free plugins. We were also giving our own plugins to the Atlassian Solution Partners for free. We don't pay anything to Atlassian."

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

"Actually in Iran we don't have copyright or intellectual property, so we can use JIRA for free."

"The price for JIRA Service Management is reasonable and cheaper than other ITSM solutions, but the licensing model is different, so you cannot compare it with other solutions. Overall, the pricing for the solution is acceptable."

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

"For the people like us, the lower the price, the better. But when compared to other competitors, I think it's Jira's price is okay."

"We may upgrade the license that we have. The license that we currently have is good for 500 agents, and it's not full yet."
