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.

An affordable and scalable solution that provides an excellent UI and many out-of-the-box integration capabilities
The product’s UI is very good. The tool’s performance is very good. The overall performance of the tool and the navigation is fast. It is very responsive. It has a lot of out-of-the-box integration capabilities with some of the common tools that we want to integrate. If something is not available out of the box, creating or configuring a new integration on HaloITSM is easier compared to other tools.

Clean chat interface has supported basic AI handoffs but now needs omnichannel and a free plan
LiveChat did not support omnichannel messaging or multi-channel inbox, and it was not offering any free plan. These limitations made me switch to another solution. I believe LiveChat should support at least a basic free plan so that potential customers can try out their features before paying for the full suite.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"Automation Anywhere has helped my company with APIs. We are currently in a project to create APIs for our core banking service and other transactional systems, migrating from another integration technology to API."
"Toward this life cycle, we have a very structured approach of governing, monitoring, and tracking, that's the approach we have taken. Insights we gain from this governance, we apply towards automation strategy and implementations. We've done this for many clients across the globe. We are happy to share those experiences with some of you as well."
"Overall, I would rate Automation Anywhere a nine out of ten."
"In finance, it has helped us deliver on productivity and provided us with FTE savings."
"The ease of use is the most valuable feature. It's very easy to use, so to get started, you don't really need hardcore development skills."
"Automation Anywhere has impacted our efficiency and productivity in a very positive way since we are shutting down a very manual process."
"I'm impressed with the scalability. We are able to do changes. We are able to scale from different environments now with the Control Room in version 10 and 11. The scalability is pretty good. It is up to the mark of the other market competitors."
"The company continues with research and development to expand the capabilities of the product to meet market needs."
"The most valuable aspect is that is is codeless."
"The product’s UI is very good."
"The solution's initial setup process was quite straightforward... I rate the technical support a nine and a half out of ten."
"Customer Service: Top notch! The support team is available all the time and have been able to solve all our questions instantly."
"In my experience, the best features LiveChat offers include a clean interface, robust analytics, and the ability to provide human-to-human website chat."
"Through the capabilities of LiveChat we are able to fully customise each live chat implementation to suit the goals of our clients."
"Since we started to use LC we managed to increase our customer satisfaction level, increase sales and most important thing to speed up our interaction with our customers because it's all in real time."
"We can attribute most of our high ticket sales to this software."
"It truly does what I need it to do and anything else I would say, I would be making it up."
"The best feature of LiveChat in my evaluation is the AI chatbot module that I prefer most."
"I majorly love the ticket and knowledge base features, which allow us to save automated answers to the most popular customer queries."
 

Cons

"OCR technology could be more inclusive by offering a wider range of supported languages, as its current selection is limited."
"The Excel part needs improvement because we use it as a database. Right now, we are using UiPath for this feature, as that RPA tool allows us to sort, search, and filter in Excel databases."
"In Automation Anywhere, the logging process is manual."
"Automation Anywhere has a persistent click-related issue that can make automation difficult, particularly in unattended environments."
"More interactions with PDFs would be great for Automation Anywhere. The ability to use more legacy technology for object cloning, flash plugins, etc. A lot of their Excel commands could use some improvement."
"Not all data is good quality. This presents a challenge for automation, which is important."
"It needs stability improvements. Sometimes, it becomes unstable."
"The vendor should increase the training and other engagements with users before they acquire the platform, as this will simplify its usage further and ensure that there no hindrances in using the platform."
"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."
"The product does not have its own orchestration engine."
"There have been times where Live Chat's servers have had DDOS attacks and have made communication difficult."
"LiveChat did not support omnichannel messaging or multi-channel inbox, and it was not offering any free plan."
"I'd like to be able to create teams and filter the reports by team, in addition to the ability to currently filter by group, date, agent, tag etc."
"The biggest friction point I have experienced with LiveChat so far is the lack of a free plan."
"The service needs to be more popular than it currently is."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"We are interested in saving manual engineer man-hours. So far, we have saved $100,000."
"Annually, we are paying almost one million reais."
"We have seen ROI in terms of cost and time with a couple of our projects."
"Automation Anywhere is competitive... Pega is somewhat comparable, but Pega also requires a lot more infrastructure and a lot more experience to get up and running."
"It is not cheap, with costs ranging between 700 to 800 dollars per month. While Power Automate is cheaper at 15 dollars per month, Automation Anywhere offers superior features, user-friendliness, and smoothness."
"As our team size increases, we may get some more licenses for the tool."
"Because it reduced the time duration of our processes, our costs went down."
"The solution's pricing is pretty decent."
"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."
"It's $69 per user per month. Only administrators need a license, and there is no limit to the number of endpoints."
