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.

Manager - Technical Support at a tech vendor with 10,001+ employees

Has helped streamline ticketing and change management while offering clear documentation support

Documentation and learning materials are available for Ivanti Neurons for ITSM, and if you check the vendor sites, you will find documents for each feature. I believe that short videos should be created and uploaded for newcomers to learn quickly since time can be limited. If a user believes in Ivanti, they should also believe in all its products including Ivanti Neurons for ITSM and Neurons because they are genuinely putting in hard work. This is reflected in the documentation, though I suggest they work on creating more videos. Other than that, you will find everything you need in the community site and documentation site. On a scale of 1-10, I rate Ivanti Neurons for ITSM an 8 out of 10.

Senior Manager - Strategic Initiatives | Project Management | Reporting & Analytics at a hospitality company with 10,001+ employees

Scalable but interface can be improved

Basically, we use it for service management from the financial side of things I would say the simplicity of it. It's not very difficult and doesn't require strong technical skills to understand or implement. The interface can be improved. It can be made more interactive for self-service users.…

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"One of the strengths of Automation Anywhere is its user-friendly interface, which makes it accessible even to those without a development background."

"Automation Anywhere is very good for rapid development. It has all the capabilities in terms of giving a stable automation framework. It has very cool technical capabilities, like MetaBots, dev controls, and object cloning."

"Automation has helped us improve productivity in that it first of all saves time, and because of the automation we are able to eliminate human errors, so it is really good for improving our productivity and has helped us a lot."

"The insights provided by the dashboard are excellent."

"Since our implementation, I can vouch for the fact that it is very easy to use. You do not need to know a lot of coding, even the business users, who have virtually no idea of coding, can easily operate it. They can run their bots and have the analysis ready for higher management. This is something which provides a great ease of use, and also in part why it is scalable."

"I like the OCR feature, where we can capture information from PDFs."

"I would rate Automation Anywhere a nine out of ten."

"Document automation has impacted efficiency and productivity because initially, we tried training the module on multiple unstructured documents, which resulted in less efficiency, but over time, we have trained with multiple documents, and it is now achieving great accuracy."

More Automation Anywhere pros

"Understand that this product is a great investment."

"Our First Call Close rate for the Service Desk was 70-80% once we got all the workflows and Notes and Question screens populated."

"The interface, workflow, and dashboards are powerful and easy to manage for tracking KPIs and sharing strategies with our customers."

"Primarily, I believe the focus lies on discovery, workflow configuration, and automation."

"The solution's technical support is excellent. I rate the technical support a ten out of ten."

"It is easy to set up."

"This is an excellent alternative to ServiceNow for smaller companies."

"They allow us to automate ticketing processes and create requests more efficiently, improving our overall support operations."

More Ivanti Neurons for ITSM pros

"Ivanti offers us the flexibility to transform it from purely an internal IT tool to something we can use across multiple departments. There's now a queue of departments waiting to onboard and get their processes built. The flexibility within the workflow is excellent."

"Incident management and service request management features are the most valuable."

"The initial setup was quite simple; installing just took a few minutes."

"It is highly configurable with PinkVERIFY status."

"Ivanti Service Desk gives all the functionality we need."

"The best feature is that SLAs are automatically tracked, so when we breach something, we can set up email escalations as well."

"Incident management is a valuable feature."

"The tool supports a lot of standard reporting KPIs."

More Ivanti Service Desk [EOL] pros

Cons

"The AI is very important, and they are starting to use AI. They could continue to develop it out."

"Sometimes, the files are getting corrupted and this causes us a lot of trouble."

"The human training area is still something that needs to be improved. It's not so much the actual technology learning, but rather how you bring this to life with all the peripheral competencies that are needed for it."

"The REST API could be improved."

"The quality and response time of the support, even on Sev-1 tickets, is not satisfactory."

"They need to improve the stability of the core functionality. If they keep the core constant and constant, they will continue to thrive."

"We would like to have a better debugging facility."

"Having fewer connection instances would make it more secure, more simple to troubleshoot, and possibly more flexible with the type of applications in use."

More Automation Anywhere cons

"Sometimes I can't get the reports that I want until I go to the manager. They need to put more into the new reports. The standard reports are great, but there do not communicate as much."

"They could provide product integration with popular platforms."

"The patching for non-Windows OSes such as Linux is poor."

"Ivanti Neurons for ITSM is not a user-friendly tool when compared to ServiceNow."

"Ivanti Neurons for ITSM's support model is not very strong. You should buy professional services. Its self-service portal and survey are extremely lacking. You cannot customize it, and it doesn't look very good. The solution does not have a strong community."

"There is room for improvement in terms of response time. The support team takes a long time to respond."

"I have had to open a few support tickets with the HEAT Service Management. They are very good but there are some areas that they could improve on."

"Areas that have room for improvement with Ivanti Neurons for ITSM might include some of the reliability with Mac devices."

More Ivanti Neurons for ITSM cons

"The administrative side of it could be a little more intuitive. This is the side that you use to do customizations. It is very customizable, but it could be a bit more intuitive and user-friendly. Their support can also be better in terms of response time. Currently, their response time is a little slow."

"Ivanti Service Desk could improve the GUI because it is not as good as other solutions, such as BMC or ServiceNow. If Ivanti Service Desk works on the GUI and makes it more user-friendly, and its content more attractive it might help the solution in the long run."

"You must be very technical to configure it."

"The mobile service is minimal and doesn't provide sufficient capabilities."

"I rated it a six out of 10 because it takes a lot to configure it."

"The documentation for migration which includes migration from one version to another or cloud to on-premises is not available in detail. There is no proper planning on metadata updates. I am not able to do the data movement with the package push."

"It's not professional support. When we have a problem, Ivanti should investigate."

"When we need to implement changes, it usually takes two to three days to happen, making it a very time-consuming process."

More Ivanti Service Desk [EOL] cons

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The pricing is fair. My company is part of a big organization, so the pricing is very advantageous."

"Additional costs will be for the machines and the number of machines that you are using. You can deploy virtually as well as on physical machines. In both the situations, you do need to allocate a certain budget for securing the machines and where the software will be installed and running. The machines cannot be used for anything else, because only a certain bot can run at a certain time. You need to be very particular about your scheduling of running the bots, and while the bot is running nobody can use the machine. You cannot have an agent working on a machine and the bot running in the background. It has to be completely dedicated. Then there are the network bandwidth requirements and space requirements, which are additional costs apart from the licensing and software costs. The developer is also going to charge you for their coding time too."

"The initial setup and licensing fees are high, and although it saves costs in the long run, reaching the break-even point can take at least six months."

"It is expensive. Automation Anywhere has reduced the price slightly, as we have grown. However, the price is still excessive enough that we are engaged in PoCs on other tools."

"It's cheapest among the competition, although bargaining is a must."

"We're just starting to renew our license, and we were quoted $115,000 without the IQ Bot. The IQ Bot is another $30,000. This is with very limited pages, as we go through our first projects. The majority of the cost was for ten days of onsite training."

"Automation Anywhere is flexible in terms of costing and licensing."

"It looks like it will be right around $115,000, not counting IQ Bot, which we won't renew until later."

More Automation Anywhere pricing and cost advice

"The price is on the higher side. The support is included in the standard licensing fees."

"If you want to add more users who can handle support there will be additional fees. What we call our extensions, we need to pay more for. They tell us that we need to acquire more licenses or something like that. I think it's very expensive, because in terms the pula, our local currency, it's about 20,000 per license for each user. It is an annual fee."

"The product is affordable for small businesses."

"I came to know from my team members that my company used to operate ServiceNow but shifted to Ivanti Neurons for ITSM due to its low licensing prices."
