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.

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

"There is a very accelerated learning curve on the platform."
"Automation Anywhere has helped in automating business processes for simple to complex business cases and also helped in understanding, learning, and discovering new automation ideas."
"The features of Automation Anywhere are quite impressive; one aspect I particularly appreciate is the integration of AI, which has reached a mature level in its capability for agentic processes, greatly enhancing product usability and enabling adaptation to complex use cases."
"We are automatizing redundant activities, releasing employees to do value-added activities."
"Business users utilize Bot Insight dashboards to get analysis."
"Automation Anywhere has a uniqueness with respect to the IQ Bot."
"Based on my experience, I have found Automation Anywhere to be more stable and accessible."
"We have an automation that we just put in production where we are doing a double-blind quality review, and the bot is comparing the two entries and kicking out a large number of exceptions for human review, so we have saved a large number of hours every day by not having humans look at things that match."
"The platform is easy to use."
"The dashboards are nicely laid out."
"Reporting and easy export to Excel spreadsheets."
"One of the main advantages of JIRA is that it can be customized for our solutions."
"I think the general consensus is that Service Management is a good organizational and solid product."
"This service management solution has a good user interface. It helps improve your IT request requirements and makes tracking requests easier."
"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."
"Everything is good on the JIRA Service Management, in terms of what they have provided."
"The most valuable features are the ITIL compliance and billing."
"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."
"Their technical support has been very helpful and is very good."
"Their tech support has been talking to us about expanding features like integrations with Microsoft Teams."
"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."
"When using it predominantly for a help desk solution, it seems like an absolutely fine product."
"The product is very scalable and stable when used as a help desk once it is built out."
 

Cons

"In the age of AARI and Automation Anywhere 2019 IQ Bot, the biggest challenges for me and my company are understanding the product and implementing it at the right place."
"Training is good and interactive but the final certification exam is very tough and it requires in-depth practical knowledge."
"Cloud API vision and OCR engine integration should be more effective."
"The bot creation process is straightforward in some ways and complicated in others. You can get your initial stuff laid out really quick, but then putting in your exception handling is more time consuming."
"Unwanted windows are popping up. We have to train a bot to recognize the window if it comes up, know what it is, and click it. If it is interrupting our bot, I just want to avoid that window, because I am getting failed logs."
"There are occasional technical issues, particularly with cloud operations. Sometimes, the bot struggles to initiate on the cloud, even when everything appears in place."
"Automation Anywhere should add a couple of commands which will help most developers not to always use a script, a good example is in String operations."
"Automation Anywhere could improve by better integrating with DevOps. Currently, it cannot be integrated 100% with DevOps methodology, which many companies are requiring."
"Some of the areas that could be improved are with the customizations."
"I feel that Atlassian isn't really interested in fixing everything because if they did, the partners that are developing the fixes and features would not have a place in the market."
"While licensing is costly, setting up JIRA Service Management is overall good because the vendor helped me, and I also received support from JIRA support, making it a positive experience."
"In-built chat is missing in JIRA Service Management."
"The support we received was not fully provided at that time."
"It has change management and incident management, but CMDB is not there. It's also not as user-friendly as ServiceNow."
"It would be better if it had capabilities to connect to mobile applications (e.g., Whatsapp)"
"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 product is very difficult to use and configure and requires specialists."
"The business model for the company is to sell low and charge for customization, education or expertise."
"ManageEngine SupportCenter Plus could improve on workflow automation features."
"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."
"I would like to see some kind of project management or portfolio management in a future version."
"There is no cloud-based version and it would be helpful if it were available."
"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."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The enterprise version is expensive for small businesses and individual users."
"They're very flexible around pricing and licensing."
"Automation Anywhere is expensive, making it suitable only for enterprise organizations."
"The licensing cost of Automation Anywhere is better than UiPath and Blue Prism."
"Licensing costs range from $50,000 to $200,000."
"The Automation Anywhere license is affordable and not complex."
"We would like them to change the license model of charging per bot."
"It is the most economically friendly and it provides you with a lot of functions."
"I price of JIRA Service Management is reasonable."
"It's not really expensive, especially when you compare to ServiceNow or other solutions, and it's not expensive to maintain."
"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."
"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."
"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."
"JSM's pricing is one of the best, starting at around $10 per user, per month, with volume discounts available."
"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."
"Costs are about $50 per user per year. JIRA is sold in user tiers of 25, 50, 100, 250, 500, 2000, 10,000, and unlimited users. It is bad when you have 51 users then the price is based on that 100 user tier. Users at 100 will be the most cost effective."
"ManageEngine products will always be the lowest cost in category as that is part of their business model."
"The licensing fees depend on different criteria, including options and sizing."
