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.

Director at a tech vendor with 501-1,000 employees

Automated onboarding has saved hundreds of hours and now standardizes device security globally

In terms of how Ivanti Neurons for UEM can be improved, I think there's potential for automation of some repetitive tasks. The device provisioning process has already become very close to zero-touch, but the patch deployment is still scheduled and policy-driven. As a result, I believe we can reduce endpoint administration further. I also think the number of integrations and the scalability of the tool can be improved, along with customer service, as we've encountered some issues in certain countries. Regarding the needed improvements, particularly concerning integrations or customer service challenges, we have had problems with integration with some third-party tools requiring additional configuration and testing. Occasionally, we also experienced delays between systems, particularly with user group changes and device compliance updates. The accuracy and reliability of output from Ivanti's AI can be improved. We notice that the AI-driven insights are useful, but there are anomalies and some false positives. Since we are still in a validation period, I cannot provide a definitive mark, but I believe that accuracy should be enhanced, especially for more complex and environment-specific issues where human intervention is still needed.

Remote control and massive deployment streamline operations efficiently

It seems that it is a bit difficult to learn and purchase. The requirement for employees to be certified before purchasing is understandable yet can be a hurdle. A focus on more simplicity and user-friendly features would be beneficial. More training deals, up-to-date articles, and improved documentation would help users navigate the solution more intuitively.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The Control Room for the bots and its ability to connect bots with APIs are the most valuable features."

"The features like IQ Bot and Metabot have helped our organization to gain business trust and provide a greater number of unique solutions to our clients for complex projects."

"We reduce the time that scientists spend on manual tasks and put them on more value-added work."

"The universal recorder along with the Excel basic and advanced packages has been highly valuable."

"Using automation, these processes are completed in between one and two hours, using one robot, and with these savings in time, the staff can do more in other areas, improving productivity and creativity while reducing the need for overtime and positively impacting the company overall."

"Automation Anywhere's central command center is good."

"On the server-side, multiple developers working on a single project can save their individual works and have them stored in a single repository."

"The drag-and-drop feature is valuable."

More Automation Anywhere pros

"We use the solution for security patching of Windows devices."

"We have very good technical support; when we had big issues, the support was fantastic, I have nothing to complain about, and it was important for us to have that level of security from the company."

"Ivanti Patch's most valuable features are the patch module and the package distribution."

"Ivanti Autonomous Endpoint Management has positively impacted my organization because I used this tool in my previous project, and it is useful for security purposes."

"Ivanti Autonomous Endpoint Management has had a significant positive impact on my organization, particularly in reducing manual endpoint management efforts and moving from reactive support to proactive remediation."

"The solution is good, it's effective in what it is able to achieve and it's easy to use."

"Both in terms of features and operations, this is a good solution."

"We manage over 1,000 new devices per year, saving more than 1,500 hours of manual IT work annually."

More Ivanti Autonomous Endpoint Management pros

"We use the solution for IT service desk management and asset management."

"The inventory in Quest KACE Asset Management Appliance is very valuable."

"The platform offers efficient stability."

"The ability to work on printers and everything can be done remotely, which enhances functionality."

"The solution is scalable."

"We utilize the package management feature the most. We also use it for getting the inventory. Companies like us don't have an inventory or asset management system per se. A lot of companies, for instance, use SCCM as their asset management tool. We are using Quest KACE Asset Management Appliance for asset management, which is a good feature. The feature that I really like is to be able to upgrade to the Windows management systems or Windows version. It is very seamless, and I have found it fairly good."

"Remote control and massive deployment for fixing bugs and issues on multiple computers and systems at once are highly valued."

"If you consider cost, support, stability, and usability, then it's better; it's slightly on the costlier side, but it's much more stable than most of the other solutions."

More KACE Asset Management Appliance pros

Cons

"It still uses old, deprecated Microsoft components that have an end date."

"There have been problems with scalability. It comes down to how we handle the code."

"The OCR component should allow integration with 3rd party OCR. This way we can use the best of breed solution along with AA or allow better control over OCR packages to be customized."

"Automation Anywhere can improve the product in potential areas of improvement with respect to automation and AI."

"Debugging can be particularly tricky; identifying the exact reasons for bot failures can be time-consuming."

"The AISense recorder in Automation Anywhere needs improvement in resilience and OCR capabilities, particularly in comparison to UiPath's superior OCR functionality."

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

"I have not seen bots working efficiently in the area of reporting."

More Automation Anywhere cons

"Ivanti Autonomous Endpoint Management can be improved by ensuring it runs a little more smoothly. It should not lag every single time I have to open a window, and it should not take so much time to load a lot of data."

"An improvement Ivanti Autonomous Endpoint Management needs is a dashboard that shows which devices are not in sync or a proper dashboard that displays all telemetries related to machines with high CPU, RAM, missing patches, or those needing attention, or a health check."

"In terms of improvement, I would recommend better documentation. During the time I used it, there were issues with up-to-date patching, and the documentation around those specific errors was quite confusing."

"From my perspective of having just moved away from the product, I would probably give it a six."

"I noticed one thing when comparing Ivanti Autonomous Endpoint Management with other software in the market, such as Cherwell, where we can see the rating of the person. In Ivanti Autonomous Endpoint Management, I feel the individual ratings and feedback feature is missing."

"Sometimes there is a lag with the environment, and we need to refresh before using it."

"I have not seen a return on investment with Ivanti Autonomous Endpoint Management."

"Customer support is really poor."

More Ivanti Autonomous Endpoint Management cons

"Sometimes, it feels like the inventory it takes is not 100% accurate. I would say it is correct 90% of the time. We have had some issues. So, we have to rely on some factors of inconsistency in the data."

"The first thing I don't like about KACE is that it needs to have a proper service desk. The categories and the command section do not reflect the users and the permanent users porting commands on updating. There is an issue and delay in loading the commands. We also want a proper structure for infrastructure management. Also, the AI chatbot and user template options are missing."

"Quest KACE Asset Management Appliance could improve areas related to the management of updates, especially concerning new operating systems."

"The remote desktop tool they are using needs improvement. They have integrated some third-party tools for remote desktop connections but that is a bit complicated. That can be further simplified."

"It seems that it is a bit difficult to learn and purchase."

"The initial setup was burdensome for us because we manually deployed it."

"A focus on more simplicity and user-friendly features would be beneficial."

"Quest KACE Asset Management Appliance can improve by incorporating AI and machine learning into the solution."

More KACE Asset Management Appliance cons

Pricing and Cost Advice

"We have purchased licenses, but are trying to obtain more bot programmer licenses."

"We are interested in saving manual engineer man-hours. So far, we have saved $100,000."

"We are restricted to use one license on one PC. However, if my license is not working, I want to be able to use it somewhere else. This would be a nice improvement to the licensing, as other competitors in the market have better licensing terms."

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

"It is not cheap, but we are able to get an ROI."

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

"Pricing is affordable and I would recommend beginning with the Starter Package."

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

More Automation Anywhere pricing and cost advice

"The price of MobileIron UEM is very good."

"The solution is affordable."

"The license can get expensive if you have a lot of nodes."

"While the price is a bit high, it may be equitable with the features one gets with the product, such as that involving the interface."

"The solution is expensive compared to other products."

"For the one that works with SCCM, it is relatively inexpensive at $8 USD per node, yearly. The standalone product has two versions; the one that patches servers is about $45 USD annually and the version that patches workstations is about half that price at $22 USD."

"My impression is that MobileIron is very expensive."

"Quest KACE Asset Management Appliance provides two remote desktop licenses which are helpful. The price of the solution is high, it would be beneficial if it was more flexible and less expensive."

"It is less expensive as compared to SCCM."

"I would rate the solution's pricing a six out of ten."

"The product is expensive."
