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.

Comprehensive workflows and data views have supported complex teams but still need cost improvements
JIRA Service Management is costly. The pricing structure needs improvement. When I add some plugins, I have to pay the cost for every user whether they are using it or not. For smaller companies, the detailed workflow editing and the kind of details that JIRA Service Management provides would be complex. For startups and smaller companies, JIRA Service Management would be complex. The cloud offering is easier because I don't have to manage the infrastructure. There are two templates of the project: company-managed and team-managed. Team-managed is a newer feature, which is good for startup-kind companies where they don't need control over data from multiple projects displaying in one dashboard. For startups, JIRA Service Management is somewhat complex with its schemes and everything. Capacity management should be improved in terms of additional features in the next release of JIRA Service Management.

Prioritizes tasks and easily organizes messages and responses
I've not really noticed anything that needs to be improved with the solution. Generally, I enjoyed everything. Every feature LiveAgent has was a seamless journey for me. Maybe there are others who might notice one or two flaws on LiveAgent. I use LiveAgent, but based on my position in the company as a live chat professional, there is a level that I am restricted to. There are other products that are more popular and effective than LiveAgent, like Zendesk and HubSpot. They are among the most popular live chat products, and they have more users. I will advise that LiveAgent should look at what these other people are doing and use it to improve themselves. LiveAgent should add more functionalities.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"With automation, you can reduce that effort to half an hour or an hour, so it will improve your efficiency and save you a lot of time, so you can improve your time in other work."
"We have a plethora of good use cases saving good, hard dollars."
"This solution has gives us greater employee satisfaction because manual recurring work has been reduced."
"In 2018, we looked at some other products on the market, but Automation Anywhere was a perfect fit. We didn't have any issues that Automation Anywhere couldn't solve. The critical factor for us was its ease of use. We liked the drag-and-drop interface and the low-code capabilities."
"The most valuable feature of our solution is the cognitive computing because that is coming onto stream a lot faster than you would think. What used to be in the middle of, "Can this be done or not?", is becoming, "It can be done." We are getting some incredible straight through processing rates with AR around healthcare and financial services."
"Business process automation has improved the efficiency and accuracy of processes and reduced manual efforts which can be utilized in value addition for the firm."
"Since it is AI-powered, it automates our work; initially, we had many manual interventions, but now with the AI-powered capabilities, we are saving time and our productivity has increased."
"When our organization switched to Automation Anywhere, the accuracy rate improved and consequently, there has not been much data loss."
"I believe that JIRA is one of the best project management tools."
"The most valuable features of this solution are Incident and Request Management."
"Simplicity is a key aspect. It is not hard to use."
"I think one of the most valuable things is that it's all integrated, because between the Wiki and the product itself, whenever someone is typing in an error, it automatically pops up a solution."
"One of the best things about JIRA is that it searches for answers while questions are being typed so some tickets do not need to be submitted."
"Apart from ticket management and workflow, the Kanban board is one of the helpful tools in Jira."
"JIRA Service Management is user-friendly and can help you achieve what you want to achieve."
"Auditing team uses this solution to track audit findings and follow-up."
"I like that this solution provides the history and control over every process connected to a building so we can see everything that's happened since we started using this solution."
"My experience with LiveAgent so far has been a seamless one."
"The most valuable feature was how the solution helped us to prioritize tasks."
"Provides service level optimization."
 

Cons

"Enhancing the support tiers might be beneficial, and pricing has been a primary challenge, with a need for cheaper options and more tiered support."
"The main issue I identify is that the cost of the enterprise-scale license and add-ons can be a barrier for small businesses."
"Automation Anywhere's stability could improve. It isn't completely stable, but it's getting better daily."
"In Automation Anywhere, the logging process is manual."
"We face issues with Excel file creation. I’m trying to create a file in Excel .xls, it is getting corrupted."
"We also got a tool from Automation Anywhere that was supposed to fix or patch a problem, but it didn't work. It was a horrible, pathetic product that they brought out when it wasn't ready."
"The stability of this solution depends on the processes, but I think that there is room for improvement in this regard."
"It is not as easy to implement as advertised. It is difficult across the board. It is difficult for technical and non-technical users."
"The licensing model could be improved. There needs to be a different licensing model for large numbers of employees, as it remains one of the main barriers to using JIRA Service Management across our entire company."
"The product is supposed to include an interface where the customer can report issues, things they cannot resolve easily. It's not there at the moment so it's more difficult to resolve issues with the OEMs."
"I feel JIRA Service Management could be better if the APIs from the sponsoring team provided more support and flexibility in API endpoints."
"JIRA Service Management is costly."
"If I need a new feature, JIRA requires me to pay for all users when only specific people use that add-on. I should not have to pay for everyone, so this is an area for improvement."
"There should be better connections with access management. They should improve the connectivity."
"It was complex for us because we had to migrate data from HPSM. We required a consultant to be involved, and even the consultant struggled for some time."
"The solution needs to be integrated better with Office X5."
"I'd like to see an improved API to the system, rather than other softwares having to trigger everything."
"Connection to other softwares could be improved."
"There are other products that are more popular."
"There are other products that are more popular and effective than LiveAgent, like Zendesk and HubSpot."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"We are interested in saving manual engineer man-hours. So far, we have saved $100,000."
"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."
"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 pricing and licensing are definitely moderate to costly but easily recoverable by achieving ROI quickly."
"The pricing for Automation Anywhere is reasonable."
"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."
"IQ Bots are very costly. It's not a sustainable bot for us as of now. We will look for better, alternate options for that."
"The licensing needs to be made simpler or shortened."
"Actually in Iran we don't have copyright or intellectual property, so we can use JIRA for free."
"For the people like us, the lower the price, the better. But when compared to other competitors, I think it's Jira's price is okay."
"We have an annual license with JIRA Service Management, but it is billed monthly."
"The pricing is free for us because we are an associate partner for the product."
"I price of JIRA Service Management is reasonable."
"On a scale of one to five, where five is a good price and one is high, I would rate this solution as a three. It isn't cheap but it's not ridiculous."
"On a scale of one to five, with one being really high and five being good, I would rate the price of this solution as a four."
"It is a cheaply priced product."
