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.

A fairly stable solution that’s highly mature, but has a poor user interface

The solution does not align as modern service solutions do. Seamless integration is no available among the processes. Their service management application needs a lot of work. It’s in a really bad state right now. They brought on a new interface that clumped all the processes and features of the solution into one. Still, it’s not really compatible with other solutions. Because of this, its rating has dropped in Gardner. The solution needs to improve its reporting features. The user interface needs a lot of improvements. The product needs to implement a cloud platform solution, which is lacking so far. Their workflow engine is still segregated. It’s not embedded. If you need to do some workflow approvals, you cannot do them directly on the service desk. You have to go into Outlook and do an approval or you have to go in through another screen to handle the approval because the workflow engine they have is a separate product.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"Now, we can have the bot check all of them."

"The features that we found most valuable have been just automating manual processes. We are able to integrate and work with applications that users typically work with. That has been the best feature for us right now."

"Automation Anywhere can easily be adopted and learnt."

"We simply train the Bot by uploading sample files, and it then begins classifying, processing, and extracting the data within a short span of time."

"IQ Bots are extremely powerful. We are using them increasingly more where we're about to look through a lot unstructured sources, like PDF documents, scanned images, contracts, etc. We are able to take the data out, then use that toward processing structured data and creating insights for our clients."

"No other competitor has this email trigger, so it saves a lot of time if you automate the process. We don't need to fix a time for a task to run. It gives the feature of on demand execution for any task. Whenever a user wants, it can send a mail and get the task done as soon as possible."

"The speed of the delivery is its most valuable feature."

"Not all tools give us the clear utilization of the infrastructure in place but this does and trust me, this has been proved far better than other RPA tools and that is why I see AA booming day by day."

More Automation Anywhere pros

"I like that it's easy to set up Sprint and put tasks and stories into Sprint; it is really easy to lay out the work that needs to be done."

"We have found the issue type feature particularly valuable, as it provides an out-of-the-box solution that aligns with our needs."

"My advice to users is that JIRA Service Management is a good project management tool to handle projects respectively and efficiently."

"The most valuable feature of this solution is that it is user-friendly."

"We get software developed faster."

"The basic configuration and the basic abilities provided are the most valuable aspects of the solution."

"I think it's easy to use and user-friendly."

"The tool is scalable."

More JIRA Service Management pros

"Using the self-service functionalities we have been able to eliminate a lot of the support phone calls, and actually reduce a lot of our help desk staff."

"It provides us with a very easy and flexible UI for CA Nimsoft Service Desk 7."

"Improved the effectiveness of my Service Desk Team and improved the SLA timing."

"It’s provided self-service and automation, notifications, and reporting, and it’s good on a day-to-day and macro perspective."

"The most valuable feature is the ability to easily create service catalogues for our customers, something that we didn't have previously with the other tool we were using, which was SDM."

"It's quite a complete entry into the SaaS ITSM market with a reasonable price point."

"The solution is a highly mature product, and because of this, it can stand up to any other product on the market."

"The most valuable features for me are scalable architecture, customization potential where the UI, background, and data movement allow you to tailor to the nitty gritty details of what you might need in your environment, and advanced workflow management."

Cons

"Automation Anywhere changed OCR features in A2019. My suggestion is to improve the OCR command scope and usability. We use OCR for PDF data extraction as we use in V. 11.x product."

"One key feature we are looking for from Automation Anywhere is the need for a fully evolved CI/CD pipeline approach within our IT organization, given that we manage multiple applications."

"More and more innovation is going on, and they'll have to keep adding features to keep up with the market. They have generative AI on their platform, but that's a new part. They are working on it. It's not 100 percent foolproof, but eventually it will get better. They need to work on their AI capabilities."

"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."

"Most clients use systems which use old Java versions, trying to automate on these systems is really difficult since most features/commands are not supported."

"AA should include more features in the mobile app, such as monitoring and debugging bots."

"Queue management is still missing from the latest version which is a barrier to using the platform to start implementing complex cases where you have parent and child transactions going through multiple stages."

"An option should be provided to disable the flow and dual-mode since those are not used often by the developers, and hence take up extra space on the screen."

More Automation Anywhere cons

"JSD has some analytics, but it's pretty much basic and simple dashboards."

"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 reporting function of this solution, particularly the filters in the portal, could be improved."

"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."

"In the Turkish market, the biggest problem is that they are looking for a server type of solution, but when it comes to Jira Service Management, Atlassian is a remote type of license. There are just two different options, data center and cloud."

"I feel JIRA Service Management could be better if the APIs from the sponsoring team provided more support and flexibility in API endpoints."

"Recently, in the Jira cloud, we have had an issue. Users are not able to log in and some of the customer data has also been lost."

"We have tried exporting some of the test cases into Jira from Excel. The interface for that isn't very user-friendly."

More JIRA Service Management cons

"Flexibility to customize."

"Usability for IT analysts could be improved."

"Few probes need improvement in their function and the way they get deployed for monitoring."

"It loses points because it’s not GUI enough, too code-y."

"We had a lot of issues with non-Windows servers during implementation."

"I think they could update some of the interface. It doesn't look as pretty as some of the other ones."

"Actually this product and its limitations reduced the Service Desk effectiveness compared to the product we were using."

"This is not appropriate for a small or even a medium-sized business. Too much overhead for a small company."

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The setup cost for this is onetime and licensing is based on your choice of product."

"They all are very competitive today. At the end of the day, it boils down to the negotiations that happen and what type of partner you are."

"The pricing is a bit higher."

"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 affordable."

"The Community Edition is a good offering from the company."

"The control room access gives the ability to create different roles, which helps when purchasing additional licensing."

"I don't know exactly what the pricing schemes are for the product as this type of negotiation is not my responsibility, but I think the basic pricing comes to $15,000."

More Automation Anywhere pricing and cost advice

"The pricing is free for us because we are an associate partner for the product."

"The price for JIRA Service Management is reasonable and cheaper than other ITSM solutions, but the licensing model is different, so you cannot compare it with other solutions. Overall, the pricing for the solution is acceptable."

"The price of JIRA Service Management could be reduced."

"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."

"I rate Service Management four out of 10 for affordability. The price could be better, especially for companies using more than one Atlassian product. It's suitable for SMBs that can afford it. I don't think there's another tool that's both better and cheaper. All help desk tools are relatively expensive."

"The price of the solution is becoming expensive and it should be reduced."

"The pricing is very competitive and I think that it is okay."

"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."
