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.

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.

VP of IT at a aerospace/defense firm with 51-200 employees
Manual ticketing features hinder workflow, but cost-effective ticket management is ensured
We just use it because it's more trouble to rip it out than to replace it with a more expensive tool. I would not recommend this product to others. If budget is a concern, it might be suitable but it doesn’t excite. Hence, I would rate it a four out of ten.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"AA has good coverage in terms of out-of-the-box functionality for bot development and management."
"Automation Anywhere has a very rich and easy to use interface. This makes it very intuitive. As an organization, we give training to business users to help them automate themselves. It is an easy to go, create your own scripts, and logic. The typical commands which they have in the workbench are very helpful for us."
"We were able to demonstrate that this application can do wonders for the organization, help us to digitally transform the way we're working, and introduce a new way of working to any organization."
"The most valuable feature of the product is the flexibility, as there are so many features that you can use to develop, and it can hit a lot of use cases."
"The best feature is the Capture action. If we want to capture the whole process, we can do it in a single shot."
"We've delivered tremendous value in a really short amount of time and gotten a lot of support from our organization."
"Features like reusing each and every piece of code for things such as login scripts and data extraction scripts helped us to speed up the implementation of PoC for the client."
"I like Automation Anywhere's cloud-based nature. You don't need any on-prem infrastructure to host it."
"The solution is easy to use and has a user-friendly interface."
"Understand that this product is a great investment."
"My advice to others considering Ivanti Neurons for ITSM is that it is a good platform to obtain comprehensive help in one location, and users can utilize this platform comfortably."
"The main feature for us is incident management, as it assists me in knowing my assignments because we have group assignments and when we go to the group assignment they can assign it to me there."
"HEAT Service Management is good for asset and service desk management. It is the focal point for this solution."
"I like Cloud Neurons. Since it's a cloud version, it's much easier to enhance productivity because it collects all the information automatically."
"What I appreciate about Ivanti Neurons for ITSM is its comprehensive change request management system, which we utilize for server patching, workstation patching, BIOS updates, and driver updates, enabling us to have CAB meetings to discuss changes and approve them before implementation."
"The solution's technical support is excellent. I rate the technical support a ten out of ten."
"Their tech support has been talking to us about expanding features like integrations with Microsoft Teams."
"Their technical support has been very helpful and is very good."
"We have found the reporting in this product to be very useful."
"ManageEngine SupportCenter Plus works fine as a help desk software and is relatively inexpensive."
"The product is very scalable and stable when used as a help desk once it is built out."
"The most valuable features are the ITIL compliance and billing."
"When using it predominantly for a help desk solution, it seems like an absolutely fine product."
"The product teams are continuously on the products trying to improve them. If, for example, I ask for a change to be done in the software, the chances are in the next release it's going to be done and incorporated. It's this personal touch that I like."
 

Cons

"MetaBots and Control Room may have some room for improvement."
"I would like to see a built-in read-only role for the control room so that the bot creators can log in and monitor the production environment without any auditing concerns."
"The AI centricity is a bit behind compared to the way we see Microsoft and AWS doing it. This is the feedback that I have also given to them. They need to expand themselves to provide more services than just RPA. Only RPA may not be enough for us, and it would not be our preferred choice for an automation tool."
"Automation Anywhere can be improved as there are issues with the recorder, which needs enhancement to extract more fields in the property set to increase reliability across various web application platforms, such as those built on React, React Azure, and React Angular."
"The assign value function is not there in the A2019 Community edition, which makes it hard for a developer to manipulate the data."
"There is an issue with the object cloning in Excel. OCR is also not that stable. Image recognition works fine, but not all the time."
"Not all data is good quality. This presents a challenge for automation, which is important."
"The product is not totally stable."
"The process to add fields is time consuming and requires the system to be offline while you apply an Edit Set."
"There is room for improvement in terms of response time. The support team takes a long time to respond."
"We'd like more integration with solutions like SolarWinds."
"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."
"Perhaps one area that could see enhancement is at the hardware level, particularly regarding endpoint control."
"Currently, the solution only supports SOAP web services, but a REST interface is on the roadmap and has been confirmed for mid-next year."
"The patching for non-Windows OSes such as Linux is poor."
"There's a lack of integration with other products. This needs to be improved."
"They're pretty good but there's always room for improvement. There should be more templates that users can utilize immediately."
"The tech support is terrible and that seems to be a part of their business plan."
"I would like to see some kind of project management or portfolio management in a future version."
"The product is very difficult to use and configure and requires specialists."
"There is no cloud-based version and it would be helpful if it were available."
"The business model for the company is to sell low and charge for customization, education or expertise."
"ManageEngine, in my experience, fosters that type of environment; it doesn't have an easy button, a graphic user interface, ease-of-use, and ease-of-dev — the product does not have any of that."
"ManageEngine SupportCenter Plus could improve on workflow automation features."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The price of Automation Anywhere is a little higher than some of the competition, such as UiPath. However, depending on the use case and other factors we are able to receive some discounts."
"It is cost-efficient in terms of licensing. I found their support good when I was working for the airline client. However, I hear from my managers here that the support price for Tier 3 or premium is a little higher. That is why we are not going for Automation Anywhere. Its price was okay for our client, but for us, it seems expensive."
"We save approximately 10,000 hours per year."
"The licensing fees are approximately $10,000 USD for between five and ten users."
"It is affordable for us."
"The setup cost for this is onetime and licensing is based on your choice of product."
"The setup cost depends on multiple factors, so you need to get details before choosing."
"Automation Anywhere's pricing is significantly higher than other RPA solutions."
"The price is on the higher side. The support is included in the standard licensing fees."
"The product is affordable for small businesses."
"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."
"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."
"The licensing fees depend on different criteria, including options and sizing."
"ManageEngine products will always be the lowest cost in category as that is part of their business model."
