Nadeem K. - PeerSpot reviewer
Rpa Developer at a consultancy with 11-50 employees
Automation has freed teams from repetitive finance and supply tasks and supports global operations
In the current organization, we had trouble initially because I think the documentation and support could be better than what it is now. This is one difference between Automation Anywhere and other RPA tools such as UiPath. In UiPath, if you have an issue, you go to the UiPath website and search for it, and you get lots of help materials. In Automation Anywhere, you do not get exactly what you are looking for. You get a very large number of results when you search for something, and from this large result set, you have to filter out what you need, or only partial information will be available. User handbooks are available for each product. In that regard, I would say Automation Anywhere is lagging compared to other RPA tools. It is difficult to get hold of their customer support team. I want to clarify that it is not a matter of us building logic on Automation Anywhere and it failing. When it is a product-related issue, they have to give us support because we only know how to develop within Automation Anywhere. We do not know how to fix Automation Anywhere itself. Whenever we have an issue, trying to get in touch with them always takes three to four business days.

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.

Comprehensive IT service processes have been supported but customization and support need improvement
All ITSM functionalities of SymphonyAI IT Service Management, including incident, problem, change, service request, and their out-of-the-box functionalities, are pretty good. SymphonyAI IT Service Management does not have too many integrations and does not have too many out-of-the-box integrations compared to other peers in the market. I think that is the only place where they lack. However, they did have a functionality where we could build our own integration, so we were using that. If they had any out-of-the-box capabilities for some of the common infrastructure tools, that would have been easier for us. The out-of-the-box functionalities were good, including AI. However, the moment we had to customize options, that becomes very difficult with SymphonyAI IT Service Management. As long as we were using out-of-the-box, it worked great.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The CyberArk integration and setup are really amazing and it helps us to win deals for new projects."
"The management works well."
"We found that Automation Anywhere was the easiest to use, and their offer was much more appealing compared to the other products, so that's why we ended up choosing them."
"Some of the really impactful features of working with Automation Anywhere are the ability to design and partner with their experts to come up with our solutions."
"It is highly scalable on cloud and virtual machines."
"It helps improve performance and helps companies save time and money."
"The insights provided by the dashboard are excellent."
"Automation Anywhere is fully configurable."
"Jira lets us customize the workflow to meet our requirements. The email and alert features are also handy."
"Developing processes is easy and user-friendly."
"It's a good experience."
"This is the most complete and versatile enterprise task management product and issue tracker."
"I think the general consensus is that Service Management is a good organizational and solid product."
"The most valuable features are the flexibility of defining your own workflows and automation around the workflows, and the integration with the gate or any repository."
"​Allows customized processes for our service contracts."
"We have an Agile environment and using Jira makes it easy to adhere to Agile best practices."
"All ITSM functionalities of SymphonyAI IT Service Management, including incident, problem, change, service request, and their out-of-the-box functionalities, are pretty good."
"It was easy to access and fast. Our experience using it solely as a ticketing tool. We used fetch reports from the tool, particularly with regard to SLA tracking for our partners."
"It is a good tool to use."
"The most valuable feature is remote access. People are working from home, and we can take remote access through it."
"The product has the best features for ITSM."
"SummitAI IT Management Suite's chat box feature has reduced our service discount, and because it's intelligent, the responses that go out to the users have improved, and the resolutions are much faster."
 

Cons

"When comparing the code under version checks, although there is a change done, it doesn't say so because the change is done at the variable level and not in the line of code."
"The bot creation process is tedious. The solution has a lot of features, but since you have to drag down a lot of the commands, it can get tedious to use it. You end up having to use the mouse a lot more."
"An additional feature we would like to see is the inclusion of a particular kind of scripting in the development environment itself."
"We will be running error handling for 8,000 process and the system will fail."
"They sell every different functionality in too many separate packages, making the procurement process complicated as it requires paying additional licensing for more features."
"We have had issues with stability in the past, and there should be a function that helps you to find out what is wrong with your environment that is causing the automation to fail."
"Its licensing can become too expensive for a small startup company."
"The initial setup was a bit difficult and took more time than expected."
"In-built chat is missing in JIRA Service Management."
"The product does not have the capability to sort queued tickets by product. This would be useful in making workflows more efficient."
"An AI feature that enables automation and alerts for users can be an improvement."
"Lacks an interface where the customer can report issues."
"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."
"It is difficult to navigate if you don't have any prior knowledge."
"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."
"The documentation needs improving, it's difficult to find specific procedures."
"I would like them to add software inventory in the next release. We don't have that right now."
"Technical support takes too long for any issues to get resolved, and that created a lot of frustration."
"There could be flexibility in terms of customization."
"Integration was a major limitation with SummitAI."
"SummitAI IT Management Suite's project management and operational management features could be improved."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"I would like them to have better license management."
"Their overall pricing falls in the middle of the market. Cost-wise, Automation Anywhere is quite expensive because of their analytics, IQ Bots, and MetaBots. For a standalone machine, the pricing is okay. When adding in the licensing for IQ Bots (or MetaBots), it can become quite costly."
"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."
"Currently, it stands as one of the more expensive RPA tools available."
"We paid separately for the Runner and Creater components. The final cost depends on the structure of your environment."
"Automation Anywhere is costlier than the general competition. That is aligned with the share of the market it has."
"On average, a bot runner in Automation Anywhere can cost $5,000, while in Microsoft Power Automate, you can get most of the same functionality for $100."
"We have saved customers 400% in terms of time saved by implementing this product."
"It costs around $150 to $200 per user."
"We have an annual license with JIRA Service Management, but it is billed monthly."
"It is one of the premium products on the market, but it is very costly, especially in the Indian market."
"I price of JIRA Service Management is reasonable."
"The cost has recently increased. It might be around $20 to $25 per user license."
"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."
"But about the plugins, I found one plug-in — its name is Actionable Metric I think — and it is $3000. That is very expensive for users in Iran."
"The license we use is on a yearly basis. As a Solution Partner, we were using the free one and were using the free plugins. We were also giving our own plugins to the Atlassian Solution Partners for free. We don't pay anything to Atlassian."
"The product's cost is average."
"We have a regular license."
"SummitAI IT Management Suite's pricing is a bit expensive."
