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

"We've had many sit-down conversations with the Automation Anywhere team when we were testing out the document automation. We gave them feedback about potential enhancements, so when we launched our most recent document automation use case, the capabilities were already there. We didn't need to come up with a workaround or put the project on hold because the things we needed were unavailable. That commitment to customer success stands out because they know that without us, the product won't succeed."
"One of the most valuable features is the error handler, as this command has helped me design bots that can handle multiple errors and exceptions."
"The tool feature I found the most valuable is Metabot, as we can include the DLLs that are proprietary written code in .NET or other technologies."
"Automation Anywhere has significantly helped us achieve our automation goals, mainly by reducing costs, which alleviates organizational burdens."
"One of the benefits my organization has seen from these features is productivity in two ways: I am able to save a lot of time because of the automation, I do not need manual intervention anymore as manual intervention has been cut down by ten to fifteen percent, and the productivity gains have been substantial."
"It frees individuals up from mundane tasks so they can concentrate on being more active and creative other things that they need to do."
"AI governance is very important in my company, and we are implementing it now."
"Comparing to other products in the market, we are getting all the features in hundred percent quality with what the objective needs to be met by other products, and that is also delivered in Automation Anywhere."
"Using JIRA simplifies tracking issues and updates."
"We use JIRA Service Management for tracking purposes, planning, and execution."
"Jira lets us customize the workflow to meet our requirements. The email and alert features are also handy."
"I believe that JIRA is one of the best project management tools."
"The tool's stability is very good."
"In Jira Service Management, the most beneficial features are process improvement, workflows, and escalations."
"The price of Jira is very good."
"On a cost-basis, the product offering is very good."
"The most valuable feature was how the solution helped us to prioritize tasks."
"My experience with LiveAgent so far has been a seamless one."
"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."
"Provides service level optimization."
 

Cons

"Using Automation Anywhere is neither easy nor hard, but against IBM Robotic Process Automation, IBM Robotic Process Automation wins."
"In A2019 it does not display the exact running status, but rather it displays the previous one."
"There's potential for Automation Anywhere to integrate conversational types of tools and AI into their tool set, which would be really valuable."
"We don't have an ROI in any of our processes. We are just trying it out now to see if it works. We haven't had any savings yet. We have been putting more time in than saving time at this point."
"The quality and response time of the support, even on Sev-1 tickets, is not satisfactory."
"The IQ Bots need more out-of-the-box models to lessen the time required for model training. Their competitors provide more built-in models, which enhance capabilities in document processing."
"As a developer or user, I feel that the performance of the overall package could be made a little better or reliable. For example, if I'm opening up a heavy Excel file, which is uploaded in some shared drive over the net, and I have my box coded to open that Excel to do some work or formatting on it, and depending on the network load and the size of the file, this client version while trying to access that file becomes unstable at times. It goes into the hang position until a human being comes in, ends the task, and restarts it. Until this happens, it does not respond."
"It still uses old, deprecated Microsoft components that have an end date."
"As a consultant, I have used the support. Some of the support I have received has been good and other times it could improve."
"With Jira, we were unable to implement time-based automation in its ticketing system."
"We have tried exporting some of the test cases into Jira from Excel. The interface for that isn't very user-friendly."
"Some of the areas that could be improved are with the customizations."
"The performance in cloud service management could be improved. For example, sometimes queries get stuck, and when you search for a specific thing, it freezes until you refresh the page."
"Probably the biggest downside is that you are locked into that model and you have to accept what you signed up for."
"I think there are other IT ticketing tools that are better in terms of routing or workflows than Jira Service Desk."
"At times you will need add-ons or additional software, so built-in features would be helpful."
"I'd like to see an improved API to the system, rather than other softwares having to trigger everything."
"There are other products that are more popular and effective than LiveAgent, like Zendesk and HubSpot."
"Connection to other softwares could be improved."
"There are other products that are more popular."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"I've seen the price vary by whether the client is going to scale and adopt a tool."
"The pricing that we received from Automation Anywhere in the beginning was very economical for us. We've seen a lot of benefit from what we spent to what we're receiving. From the beginning, it's been a very low-cost implementation for us."
"It is the most economically friendly and it provides you with a lot of functions."
"Our annual licensing costs for the entire company are $100,000."
"It's cheaper than other similar solutions."
"The licensing cost of Automation Anywhere is better than UiPath and Blue Prism."
"There is an annual subscription for Automation Anywhere."
"The pricing of AA is similar to UiPath."
"We may upgrade the license that we have. The license that we currently have is good for 500 agents, and it's not full yet."
"JIRA Service Management's pricing is pretty decent compared to competitors. I rate the pricing an eight to nine on a scale of one to ten."
"Buying a software solution is only a half part of the solution (or even less). You need to optimize usage of the software by hiring professionals who will help you to make the most of the software, especially in the beginning."
"We have an annual license with JIRA Service Management, but it is billed monthly."
"JIRA Service Desk has different pricing as it is based on agents. On average, the price is about $300 per agent."
"The pricing is very competitive and I think that it is okay."
"The cost has recently increased. It might be around $20 to $25 per user license."
"It's not really expensive, especially when you compare to ServiceNow or other solutions, and it's not expensive to maintain."
