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.

Clean chat interface has supported basic AI handoffs but now needs omnichannel and a free plan
LiveChat did not support omnichannel messaging or multi-channel inbox, and it was not offering any free plan. These limitations made me switch to another solution. I believe LiveChat should support at least a basic free plan so that potential customers can try out their features before paying for the full suite.

Provides predefined content, the ability to measure KPIs, and a reliable way for customer conversations
The auto feature where if there are five chats and one of them goes down or a customer leaves the conversation, a new chat automatically pops up with the next customer available on the line is valuable. It also monitors the KPIs such as your CSAT, your time of conversation, etc. All the KPIs are mentioned on the first row of the screen. This is the second feature that I love about LivePerson. It has some predefined content. You can click on that, and it will be sent to the customer. Instead of typing a complete statement, you can use this predefined content.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The solution has helped us increase productivity."
"The impact of Automation Anywhere on our organization has been significant; it has helped us save a considerable amount of time, approximately 30% to 40%, in repetitive processes and has improved automation accuracy."
"I'd say there are new useful features that will definitely help us as we do more development in the near future."
"This RPA software has good scalability and stability, is easy to understand and easy to use, even for users who have no experience with automation software."
"AA is a global market leader and the best RPA software to go with, in all aspects."
"Automation Anywhere greatly improved our processing time since robots can execute process steps faster than human resources do."
"The CyberArk integration and setup are really amazing and it helps us to win deals for new projects."
"The graphical user interface (GUI) is very useful, since I don't know any coding languages."
"In my experience, the best features LiveChat offers include a clean interface, robust analytics, and the ability to provide human-to-human website chat."
"We can attribute most of our high ticket sales to this software."
"Since we started to use LC we managed to increase our customer satisfaction level, increase sales and most important thing to speed up our interaction with our customers because it's all in real time."
"It truly does what I need it to do and anything else I would say, I would be making it up."
"The best feature of LiveChat in my evaluation is the AI chatbot module that I prefer most."
"Customer Service: Top notch! The support team is available all the time and have been able to solve all our questions instantly."
"I majorly love the ticket and knowledge base features, which allow us to save automated answers to the most popular customer queries."
"Through the capabilities of LiveChat we are able to fully customise each live chat implementation to suit the goals of our clients."
"LivePerson's technical support team is good since they are quick to solve the issues we face with the platform in our company."
"LivePerson has been really useful for us. For example, there are several features, such as predefined content and rating information, that are more client-oriented."
"The auto feature where if there are five chats and one of them goes down or a customer leaves the conversation, a new chat automatically pops up with the next customer available on the line is valuable."
"For customer engagement, you can rely on LivePerson; LivePerson is the best tool for any company."
 

Cons

"When you are implementing it initially, it's challenging as there's a lot of change management."
"The current accuracy rate of 60% for document-based automations requires human intervention."
"The stability of this solution depends on the processes, but I think that there is room for improvement in this regard."
"The human training area is still something that needs to be improved. It's not so much the actual technology learning, but rather how you bring this to life with all the peripheral competencies that are needed for it."
"I would like if the IQ Bot could read hand-written documents, otherwise, Automation Anywhere is fabulous to work or develop processes for customers."
"If you were to come to me and ask for an OCR to be done, I could only guarantee you about eighty percent accuracy."
"OCR capability needs to become better."
"Excel automation or the activities for Excel is an area of improvement."
"The service needs to be more popular than it currently is."
"I'd like to be able to create teams and filter the reports by team, in addition to the ability to currently filter by group, date, agent, tag etc."
"There have been times where Live Chat's servers have had DDOS attacks and have made communication difficult."
"LiveChat did not support omnichannel messaging or multi-channel inbox, and it was not offering any free plan."
"The biggest friction point I have experienced with LiveChat so far is the lack of a free plan."
"They should add an auto-correction tool. If we are writing the wrong word, it should show or type the right word that we want to convey to the customer. This feature is currently not available."
"During the peak times last year, my company observed some downtime in the solution, which had become common with LivePerson."
"They need to upgrade its user interface."
"In my current organization, we have faced the problem of not having very detailed instructions. For example, if you need to integrate this application with SSO, you need to enter some specific information. Unfortunately, we weren't able to find detailed instructions on what exactly needs to be entered in the specified fields."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"We have saved a lot of money on taxes based on the stuff that we run."
"When I started working on it, it was difficult to obtain a trial version (barrier to entry). Now, they have a Community Edition, which may make it easy to get started."
"Automation Anywhere is competitive... Pega is somewhat comparable, but Pega also requires a lot more infrastructure and a lot more experience to get up and running."
"I really enjoy the pricing options with Automation Anywhere, as they are able to flex their ability to adapt to the needs of the customer really well."
"My understanding is that the license cost of Automation Anywhere is more reasonable than UiPath and Blue Prism."
"It is subscription-based. They have different schemes. The price depends on how you negotiate with the local partner or local representative in your country."
"On a scale of one to ten with ten being the most expensive, I rate the price of Automation Anywhere an eight out of ten."
"They have a ridiculously expensive bot licensing structure, especially for the Asian region."
Information not available
"I am not aware of the pricing, but I have seen it not only being used in India. It is also being used in a lot of other countries such as the Philippines and Jamaica. So, I would assume that it is affordable."
