Venkat Sivaprakash - PeerSpot reviewer
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.

A user-friendly solution that has a good user interface, but its technical support is not good enough
Around 20 to 25 staff members are needed to deploy and maintain the solution, including two managers, one architect, and other implementers. IBM Tivoli Asset Management for IT does not adopt the latest technology. The solution can be integrated with our existing IT environment through some web services and connectors. Overall, I rate the solution a seven out of ten.

A stable and clever solution, but it is very complex and it needs a lot of improvements
There are a lot of things that need improvement. Software recognition, software licensing, software compliance, data inputs, reporting, and support are some of the areas. It needs a discovery tool of its own. You have to get that from other Micro Focus products, which means you have to pay more to get those products.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"It is very user-friendly. Nobody has to sit down and work on coding. We have a drag and drop option where anybody can understand it."
"Features such as MetaBot and IQ Bot are very advanced and capable as compared to reading PDFs using OCR."
"It lets users add value with their time other than focusing on downloading Excel files, consolidating, and drawing up formulas. Since everything is structured, these easily are incorporated into the bot's work."
"My impression of the Bot Store is good. It is a really smart offering. A lot of the time customers need the same things, and there's not necessarily a lot of logic in reinventing the wheel. When you take the Bot Store, you allow people to share knowledge, you allow best practices to be immediately adopted by users, and you can share good knowledge, saving a lot of time for customers. It's a really good thing."
"The solution helps with reducing operational costs, which can be reduced by up to 30% to 40% in savings in terms of operational cost."
"What Automation Anywhere has done is free up more time for our staff, and they're able to handle exceptions in our processes instead of having to do the mundane, repetitive tasks they were doing previously."
"There are ready plugins and connectors to integrate with APIs for common systems like Oracle or Microsoft."
"The best features of Automation Anywhere are having a user-friendly interface and the ability to integrate AI, and APIs and services like OpenAI's ChatGPT can be integrated, enhancing its functionality."
"IBM Tivoli Asset Management for IT is a user-friendly solution that has a good user interface."
"The most important features are the flexibility of the product and the way that we can use it to ensure software compliance within our organization."
"This product can be customized according to the needs of any company."
"It is stable and scalable."
"We are constantly using this product and we are constantly improving this product."
"Actually we have now automatic and immediate control of assets usage, and we can now better manage our assets pool and get benefits through that."
 

Cons

"I would like more integration with Microsoft Excel. More screenshots that can be integrated with Excel would help our customers too."
"Version 11 is a bit heavy. At times, it takes a toll on the computing resources. It consumes a lot for computing power. We have seen multiple instances where computers or the client has crashed because of this particular problem. Automation Anywhere can improve this a lot."
"Training is good and interactive but the final certification exam is very tough and it requires in-depth practical knowledge."
"The support and user community need improvement. For example, it would be nice to have a place for those who create bots to have a place to share information and success stories."
"From a QA and development perspective, we would like to communicate with the tech support through email and have that put in the dashboard. This would let us better track the ticket and make it easier for us to communicate with Automation Anywhere."
"The biggest issue was that the new license required upgraded hardware infrastructure so we were getting all new tech stuff procured which meant that we were getting updated RAMs and things like that. Getting the licenses was easier but building the infrastructure which was required to support the new version was difficult."
"When a bot is in production, sometimes the keystrokes will not work. I am not sure why, and we have tried to contact technical support. They said that they don't have an answer for this. It happens in the the remote environment when we are deploying a bot into AWS machines. So, technical support said this happens in AWS machines sometimes: If the bot is running and the machine is locked, then at that time, the key strokes will not work. They have provided that solution, but we are trying to avoid keystrokes now."
"Working with the Automation Anywhere servers and domains have proven to be difficult. We are trying to get more licenses and servers set up, so we can run multiple scenarios simultaneously."
"The solution’s initial setup is complex and technical support is not good enough."
"The usability of this product is still out-of-date and could be improved. The interface could be improved."
"There are a lot of things that need improvement. Software recognition, software licensing, software compliance, data inputs, reporting, and support are some of the areas."
"Technical support is very frustrating because we have probably 12 or 15 years’ experience with the products."
"The technology used is outdated, the interface is outdated, the database is outdated, everything is outdated."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"I would rate the cost of Automation Anywhere as a six out of ten, with ten being the most expensive."
"The licensing cost of Automation Anywhere is better than UiPath and Blue Prism."
"The solution's pricing is pretty decent."
"Overall, the pricing of Automation Anywhere is good."
"Automation Anywhere falls within a mid-range price point when compared to other RPA tools on the market."
"Our pricing a year ago was $600 per license."
"We have saved time and money using this solution."
"Automation Anywhere is thought to be quite expensive, especially for smaller organizations."
"IBM Tivoli Asset Management for IT is an expensive solution."
"From my experience, Asset Manager is expensive."
