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.

Chatbot has organized HR queries and has improved employee experience and self-service
The best feature that Leena AI offers is that it improves daily. Everything is improving with Leena AI, especially with enhancements in integrations, analytics, and the addition of AI in chatbots that help personalize content and provide relevant answers to end users based on past experiences from other companies. I worked in Human Resources and managed only the human resources section of Leena AI. Currently, Leena AI has also onboarded smart integration with WhatsApp, Teams, and Outlook, which is a valuable feature to have. Leena AI has positively impacted my organization since I implemented it in 2022 during COVID, as it organized messages from management and recruiters for 25,000 employees, helping to check their wellbeing while circulating important messages. After implementing Leena HR chatbot recently, workflows were streamlined. Queries that previously took five, six, or ten days to resolve are now managed under SLA, significantly improving employee experience. The improvements include an increase in resolution times. Since Leena AI is a growing chatbot, information that was previously scattered is now centralized, improving employee experience from 70% to 90% according to our survey.

Macros and automation have streamlined workflows and reduced manual effort across support teams
The ability to communicate on the Zendesk ticket through the actual user software, so TOPs, would have been helpful. Somehow seeing a user's ticket history within our app would have been beneficial. That is the only thing that I do not think existed at the time that might have been helpful. Some people struggled with Zendesk, but it was always easy enough to show them how to use it and what they were missing. The only times we really had people report concerns about it was when they did not understand that it could do that or how to use it in that way.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The technical support has been good in my experience. However, you need to use the latest version to get the right level of support. If it is an end-of-life version, you might not get support from Automation Anywhere."
"In general, when you set up the cloud solution, it's very, very easy."
"We are trying to do about 100 automated processes this year, and I have confidence that the solution is able to cater our needs."
"We can integration with other APIs, which is a good thing. This helps us with our database integration. For example, we have done an SAP integration, which is great, since SAP has a lot of manual work."
"Automation Anywhere offers the capability of integrating the DLL files with meta bot and hence the developer can use DLL files to connect to applications likes outlook, SAP, etc"
"Automation Anywhere's document automation, powered by IQ Bots and now enhanced with AI, stands out as a particularly valuable feature."
"It has saved us a lot of hours, manual effort, and we can focus on more important tasks, which helps us with our ROI."
"We use IQ Bot for invoice processing. It can be any type of document. It could be a PDF or any sort of document. It will convert those PDFs into CSV files, which is a structured format. It takes it from an unstructured to structured format. That is why we use IQ Bot."
"Leena AI has positively impacted my organization by improving employee productivity through automating repetitive HR, IT, and finance tasks, so instead of employees writing and waiting for support teams, they receive instant assistance through AI, which reduces response time, lowers operational costs, improves employee satisfaction, and allows support teams to focus on more strategic work."
"Leena AI has positively impacted my organization by improving the efficiency of employees who were earlier not aware where to go to submit their HR-related queries."
"Leena AI has impacted my organization positively because its cost management is low, its responses are faster, and it scales easily."
"After implementing Leena HR chatbot recently, workflows were streamlined, queries that previously took five, six, or ten days to resolve are now managed under SLA, significantly improving employee experience."
"It is a scalable solution."
"Zendesk saves us over $50,000 per year and can be maintained in-house by our staff."
"The stability has been very good."
"It's very convenient to use."
"Zendesk might seem a bit pricey at first, but once you get down to what value Zendesk can provide your company - both in terms of saved working hours, happier customers and CX data from multiple channels, it's well worth it!"
"Zendesk has helped us to better connect and respond quicker to our clients."
"We rarely had issues with Zendesk."
"I'd say that the integration options that Zendesk offers are the most valuable features to our team."
 

Cons

"For assisted automation, the AA bot needs the facility to be triggered through an application interface after collecting input from the user."
"Had we had access to the RPA bots in advance, we would have practiced before fully implementing."
"The basic features are acceptable, but advanced tools often require deeper technical expertise, which can slow adoption. Additionally, some users experience delays in customer support for complex issues."
"Also, we're seemingly plagued with certain technological issues or bugs."
"There can be some options to connect to the database directly where we should be able to add some data."
"One improvement would be to implement a log mechanism within the workflow, similar to other automation tools. Currently, the log mechanism uses a text file. If we want to monitor a process, we need to check manually."
"It needs stability improvements. Sometimes, it becomes unstable."
"The scalability of Automation Anywhere's cloud version is excellent, but the on-premise version is a waste of time and money."
"Leena AI can be improved if we are able to automate all the questions rather than only common questions available."
"Leena AI can be improved by reducing manual work to achieve faster response times."
"Customer support for Leena AI is very good, but it takes a lot of turnaround time to come back and resolve the questions, queries, or issues."
"I would love to see an easier way to add users to Zendesk as well as a way to BCC people on tickets."
"There is always a network issue with Zendesk. But we don’t know whether it is managed. The network issue is that when I call, it does not let us."
"As Zendesk is an international business and has customers world-wide, it would be nice if it would provide 24/7 support."
"Customer Service: 6/10 – usually helpful but sometimes very slow. Technical Support: 6/10 – usually helpful but sometimes very slow."
"The solution itself wasn't easy to set up."
"The solution could integrate better with QR codes from some websites such as Facebook."
"Zendesk has not positively impacted my organization."
"It needs to improve in terms of its flexibility, price, and installation."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Automation Anywhere pricing and licensing are competitive compared to the other automation vendors."
"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."
"Costs savings have been seen by employing bots for multiple shifts instead of people."
"I would rate the cost an eight out of ten, with ten being the highest cost."
"It looks like it will be right around $115,000, not counting IQ Bot, which we won't renew until later."
"The price for Automation Anywhere is reasonable."
"We have established a CoE and we take our bot opportunities based on their ROIs. The best ROI opportunity goes to development first. Our ROI opportunities are compliance, profitable growth, productivity enhancements, productivity gains, number of hours the productivity saved, and resources not available that the work can be done by the bot. However, the single most important criteria that we use to measure ROI is how much time does the bot cut down from an analyst's work, as this has the best ROI. E.g., if an analyst is spending a 100 hours of work that a bot can do in one hour, we calculate the 99 hours saved as ROI."
"The licensing cost of Automation Anywhere is better than UiPath and Blue Prism."

"There are different plans that are offered. We are using the entry-level plan. The overall price of the solution should be reduced. The price is too high."
"The price is very competitive."
"You have to pay extra for better support. So it's not only the license that you pay for, but you have to pay extra for the support as well."
"Zendesk's licensing is not cheap. For Enterprise, we are paying $200 per agent. It's a per-month cost, so it's pretty steep. There are some services you need to pay extra for. For example, with Zendesk Guide, we had to buy the most expensive offering in order to get Multibrand and everything. We also had to pay a lot of money for themes."
"From what I hear, Zendesk's pricing is a little expensive."
"We pay for the solution on a yearly basis and my understanding is that the cost is about $30,000. That's the cost for 24 to 25 agents."
