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.

Automation has transformed daily request handling and now tracks every customer interaction

ManageEngine ServiceDesk Plus helps my team manage and resolve requests compared to previous methods as we previously managed things through paperwork and diaries. After deploying ManageEngine ServiceDesk Plus, whenever any customer request comes, we provide the customer a product demo if they ask about the products. We then convert that request to a lead, which is converted to a demo, and then to the product POC, allowing us to follow up every stage of the requests. Everything can be tracked from ManageEngine ServiceDesk Plus, whether at the closing stage or the initial stage. I use ManageEngine ServiceDesk Plus daily in a unique way because previously everyone managed their own tracking system through their diary, but now everyone inputs data into this solution so that at the end of the day, we can get reports on how many leads we have taken care of and when they need to be taken care of. This information is visible from the ServiceDesk tool, and using the dashboard, we can easily identify it, providing an at-a-glance view. The best features ManageEngine ServiceDesk Plus offers for my team include automating manual tasks, which allows whatever tasks we previously did manually to be converted into automatic tasks. Currently, they have also introduced Zia, a very helpful solution for us. Using Zia, we can search for anything, not only inside the tool but also outside, integrating it with ChatGPT and Teams, and it can integrate with other ManageEngine solutions as well as solutions such as Jira and ServiceNow. When we integrate our network monitoring solutions with ManageEngine ServiceDesk Plus, it automatically raises an incident ticket and assigns it to the right team whenever any incident has occurred, which saves us time and reduces manual tasks. Previously, we had to communicate to the right people through mail or phone calls after an incident, but now the incidents are automatically converted and assigned to the relevant support groups along with the SLA. The integration with Teams allows us to raise tickets without logging into the portal, and we can see the ticket status and add comments through Teams, which is very helpful. Additionally, mail integration can automatically convert emails into tickets, adding further efficiency. ManageEngine ServiceDesk Plus has positively impacted our organization, particularly in customer satisfaction. Previously, customers managed service requests, incidents, changes, and problems manually, but after integration, most of these processes are automated. This includes change requests that now follow a workflow based on organizational needs and ITIL best practices, making tracking incidents and requests much easier for end customers through scheduled reports.

Responsive technical support and an easy initial setup but needs better asset management

We found the initial setup to be surprisingly straightforward. It's not overly complex and difficult, and the ease of setup is a great selling point. We started to do it on our own as it was so straightforward. There is a beginner's guide on their website which you can use. It's a very good toolbox and very useful. Basically, all you need to do is start up your virtual machine inside or outside, put in some passwords, and run one or two commands as directed and it's up and ready to go. The only thing that may take a while is the configuration process. Otherwise, the deployment is relatively fast. In about two weeks it's completely done. We have two or three people involved in the maintenance aspect of the product

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"It saves us man-hours, headcount, and processing time, and we have automated the equivalent headcount of 500 FTEs since we started, with those people doing different types of work activities instead of being laid off."

"Our ROI has ranged from thousands to hundreds of thousands, depending on the type of process being automated."

"We have worked with various tools over many years and we believe that Automation Anywhere is one of the most stable platforms."

"Automation Anywhere can easily be adopted and learnt."

"We are making less mistakes and have more metrics available to understand what our problems are. Now, we can do root cause analysis and have less noise in the system during the process."

"AA brings a lot of benefits for our organization in a number of different ways."

"It is easy to understand how to use the tool. For a developer, it is very easy to understand the opportunities and how to use and learn these features. It is very business-oriented."

"The tool is very easy to use and mostly user-friendly. I like that when using it I don't need much expertise."

More Automation Anywhere pros

"Its interface is most valuable; it is easy to use, and our customers find it amazing because of that."

"When comparing ManageEngine ServiceDesk Plus to other solutions it is much easier to operate, manage, create users, and design incident tickets, and overall, everything is very easy."

"The solution offers a lot of opportunities for integrations."

"This product is our helpdesk solution and we use it for call logging and management."

"There are a lot of great templates that you can take advantage of."

"The management of this application is good."

"Overall, its integration is good. There is a lot of integration that we have done. All alerts are coming to ManageEngine ServiceDesk Plus. Its VIP feature is also very useful where you can specify who are our VIPs. When the service desk engineer picks up the call and gets the name, he or she knows that the person is a VIP and treats him or her accordingly. It also has a mobile interface. Anybody can use the app to log cases. It is easy for the end users as well as for the approving party. For the workflow, it is easier for senior managers to give approvals through the mobile interface."

"CMDB as a baseline, incident management, service request management, and license management are valuable features. It offers really interesting features for complete use in an enterprise. You have one platform, and you could set up different service functions for HR, engineering, or another team in the same platform."

More ManageEngine ServiceDesk Plus pros

"Due to this product, we've been able to improve our IT services and how we work."

"The documentation for beginners is easily available online and very useful."

Cons

"The scripting can be a bit difficult."

"I don't use the technical support a lot. It feels like a lot of time that they will ask us to check the user manual."

"The quality and response time of the support, even on Sev-1 tickets, is not satisfactory."

"Automation Anywhere Control Room should update to the newer versions with one click, including the newer features. There should be minimum effort required from the IT organization. The major resistance from any organization is from the IT organization because they have a lot of dependencies and will sometimes resist doing changes because they have other activities and applications to manage. Future versions should minimizing their work."

"We want it to work with more APIs. It needs to integrate with multiple APIs. That would be something that I would like going forward."

"As a developer or user, I feel that the performance of the overall package could be made a little better or reliable. For example, if I'm opening up a heavy Excel file, which is uploaded in some shared drive over the net, and I have my box coded to open that Excel to do some work or formatting on it, and depending on the network load and the size of the file, this client version while trying to access that file becomes unstable at times. It goes into the hang position until a human being comes in, ends the task, and restarts it. Until this happens, it does not respond."

"This solution should be more user-friendly so that our clients can take a bot that we have developed for them, and then run it by themselves."

"We have done some automation of incoming documents, but it has been somewhat hard."

More Automation Anywhere cons

"The only issue for us is the pricing, which is quite high in comparison with the competition."

"ManageEngine needs to improve its handling of large volumes, as it cannot manage transaction volumes as effectively as ServiceNow."

"A 360-degree view of the asset life cycle should be integrated with the service desk to provide better understanding and asset management."

"It needs more customization and the ability to generate reports based on custom feeds. At present, if you create a custom feed in any form, you cannot create a report based on those criteria."

"The reporting capabilities are not as good as Ivanti's. So, ManageEngine could certainly improve on that."

"The GUI can be improved. In terms of functionality, the change management part could be improved significantly due to limitations in that area."

"We had issues wherein the software stopped working. We had to re-install the software and configure again. We were unable to import the old data into the new installation."

"When I think of improvements the first thing that comes to mind would have to be the active management function."

More ManageEngine ServiceDesk Plus cons

"Asset management aspects of the solution need work."

"We have noticed that sometimes we have a delay in action on technical support issues due to time differences."

Pricing and Cost Advice

"It is not cheap, with costs ranging between 700 to 800 dollars per month. While Power Automate is cheaper at 15 dollars per month, Automation Anywhere offers superior features, user-friendliness, and smoothness."

"There may be room for the product to be more competitively priced to excel in the market."

"UiPath is exceptionally more expensive than Automation Anywhere. UiPath is far ahead of its competition, but in terms of finances, Automation Anywhere offers better value and is more effective for organizations seeking cost-effective solutions."

"It is not too expensive, but there are many tools available in the market that can provide the same functionality at a cheaper price."

"We just did a round of price comparison on a global scale and found it's so hard to compare the license prices. But, Automation Anywhere, in general, is on the same price level as the other vendors, a bit lower in some cases."

"It is fantastic. It has been great. It is perfectly priced for the quality received. When paying for quality, that is exactly what you get."

"We have seen ROI on one of the process, but not on the other processes yet."

"Automation Anywhere's price is considerably better than UiPath's."

More Automation Anywhere pricing and cost advice

"It is above average. But it is neither cheap nor expensive."

"The platform has good pricing."

"I am using the free edition of ManageEngine ServiceDesk Plus. There are different versions available, such as professional."

"Pricing can always be improved and made more affordable."

"ManageEngine ServiceDesk Plus has reasonable pricing because my colleagues mentioned that the solution is more cost-effective than the previous one the company used."

"Its price is very lucrative. It would be great if the price can come down, but overall, its price is great. It is half or maybe one-third of the price of other market leaders."

"The licensing is around $10,000 per year."

"The price of the solution is low. However, it still could be less expensive."

Motadata ServiceOps is an AI-enabled, ITIL v4-aligned IT service management platform that unifies the service desk, IT asset management, and patch and package management on a single product. It runs on Motadata's Deep Learning Framework for IT Operations (DFIT) and integrates natively with Motadata ObserveOps, so observability alerts can open and close tickets in one workflow.

ServiceOps is dual-certified: PinkVERIFY from Pink Elephant and PeopleCert ATV (ITIL 4 compliant across 12 practices). It deploys as SaaS, on-premises, private cloud, or public cloud, which suits regulated industries with data-residency needs. AI is built into every module rather than sold as an add-on, covering ticket routing, smart suggestions, and SLA automation. A 30-day free trial is available.

What are the main modules in Motadata ServiceOps?

Service Management: ITIL v4-aligned service desk covering request, incident, problem, change, release, project, and knowledge management, with AI-driven ticket routing based on skills, workload, and availability.
IT Asset and Configuration Management: Full asset lifecycle from procurement to disposal for hardware, software, non-IT, and consumable assets, backed by a unified CMDB that maps configuration items and their dependencies.
Patch and Deployment Management: Automated patch discovery and deployment across Windows, macOS, and Linux, plus package and Windows registry deployment, with test-group rollout and approval workflows.
Agentic AI and Orchestration: AI classification, smart ticket assignment, and a workflow engine that automates approvals, notifications, and SLA actions across requests, problems, changes, and releases.
MSP Edition: Multi-tenant support for managing several entities or customers from one instance, with client isolation and branded self-service portals.

What should users look for in reviews for ROI?

Tool Consolidation: Check whether reviewers replaced separate service desk, asset, and patch tools with one platform, and what that did to total licensing cost.
Cost Against Enterprise Suites: A recurring theme in reviews is comparable ITSM capability at lower cost than large vendors. Look for reviewers who name the suite they switched from and the saving they saw.
Automation Impact: Look for reported ticket deflection through self-service and virtual agents, and faster resolution after AI-based routing.
Deployment and Compliance Fit: Assess how the on-premises and private-cloud options, audit trails, and dual ITIL certifications held up in regulated environments.
