Venkat Sivaprakash

Management Consultant at Accenture

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.

Stable, easy to install, and cost effective, but it needs better integration and data management

It needs better integration with other tools like Jira. Better reporting and better data management are also needed. I believe the way they're structured is the flat file. So it'd be better if they actually used a database for the data storage, and a more robust portal. I would like more flexible reporting.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The Visual Studio integration is smooth and user-friendly."

"It automates forms for our customers and our analysts."

"We mostly used the Database commands in order to make the process faster and more secure, rather than using Excel or a CSV for reading the input files."

"I'd say the most impactful and heavily or commonly used ability of v11 and A2019 has been the ability to integrate other code types and operations within the process."

"It's very easy for business users to learn Automation Anywhere."

"MetaBots are useful when connecting to websites or to forms with objects that need to be captured."

"The features of Automation Anywhere are quite impressive; one aspect I particularly appreciate is the integration of AI, which has reached a mature level in its capability for agentic processes, greatly enhancing product usability and enabling adaptation to complex use cases."

"Object cloning with an option to enter wildcard selection was very useful when working in a web application that generated dynamic HTML content."

More Automation Anywhere pros

"I like how it can be integrated and expanded with other ManageEngine products."

"The primary benefit of ManageEngine ServiceDesk Plus is its ease of use."

"IT request management has improved over the years, and this product supports all process-related IT requests from users and operational management of the IT infrastructure."

"It is good, and it meets our needs."

"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."

"This solution has helped a lot by freeing up valuable time, allowing the IT personnel to work on other more critical areas, key projects, and perform their fundamental job requirements on time without interruption."

"SD+ is definitely a good and flexible ServiceDesk tool which can even be broadly used in larger organizations."

"The solution is free for up to five users."

More ManageEngine ServiceDesk Plus pros

"It is more flexible than our current solution."

"Absolutely, we have seen a return on our investment."

"The two most valuable features are the portal and reporting."

Cons

"My experience has been that if the person who codes the bot is not very well-trained, then they might create unstable bots."

"There have been problems with scalability. It comes down to how we handle the code."

"I have found that Automation Anywhere is prone to bugs in handling Excel. It breaks and gives vague error messages. I have had a lot of experience with that and learned that it is better to write a Python script instead of using Automation Anywhere's package when dealing with Excel because it is buggy and tends to break, unfortunately."

"The version that we are using has been difficult for us to code. As changes are very frequent, we have to make sure the code can be updated automatically so we don't have to make a change every time a user makes a change. Then, the user doesn't have to update us and we don't have to push a change to production. We have found a workaround with the help of the Automation Anywhere support people for this."

"Giving access to our internal websites was not simple during the initial setup."

"The scripting can be a bit difficult."

"Automation Anywhere is a tool. It is not able to go ahead and extract the hand-written documents. Most of the automation tools that we have in the market are not able to get an accuracy of close to 80 to 90 percent on hand-written documents. So, I'm eagerly looking at a release from Automation Anywhere, wherein they could plug in an LP or look at some sort of a platform which could convert hand-written documents into a readable format. If they could bring in they own platform, this would make a big in-roads for the entire automation industry."

"I would like to see a built-in read-only role for the control room so that the bot creators can log in and monitor the production environment without any auditing concerns."

More Automation Anywhere cons

"ManageEngine ServiceDesk Plus could improve by having better integration with Microsoft Azure."

"We'd like to have more integration into other platforms."

"The service delivery could be improved."

"I want friendly training courses without their ITSM ServiceDesk Plus."

"Feature-wise, the reporting is not quite satisfactory."

"When I think of improvements the first thing that comes to mind would have to be the active management function. I have encountered some bugs with this aspect of the tool. I wouldn't necessarily identify these issues as bugs, they're more like processes issues associated with the scanning assets; the process could be improved."

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

"ManageEngine ServiceDesk Plus moves changes to the production directly. We need a local touch in support."

More ManageEngine ServiceDesk Plus cons

"It needs better integration with other tools like Jira."

"Yes. Major system issues and outages during our implementation."

"It's a very cost-effective solution, but it's not robust."

Pricing and Cost Advice

"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."

"Automation Anywhere is expensive, making it suitable only for enterprise organizations."

"Based on what I've heard, it's costly, but I don't know much about its pricing."

"In terms of pricing, it's not at all cheap, and that's a concern. The licensing cost is very high. While I don't know the exact prices of other tools, Microsoft offers the lowest pricing for its RPA platform compared to UiPath and Automation Anywhere."

"We are interested in saving manual engineer man-hours. So far, we have saved $100,000."

"It looks like it will be right around $115,000, not counting IQ Bot, which we won't renew until later."

"We have seen ROI in terms of cost and time with a couple of our projects."

"Its usage is expensive for us because my user base is mostly in Manila and KL. The unit cost of labor is cheaper there than in the U.S. or Australia, which puts a bit more stress on how to get a positive ROI while continuing to use it."

More Automation Anywhere pricing and cost advice

"It is cheaper than the competitors."

"For 90 service agents and our need for a cloud solution with incident management and service request management, it annually costs around 12,000. If you need additional development or deployment support from the vendor, there might be an additional cost."

"On a scale from one to ten, where one is cheap and ten is expensive, I rate the solution's pricing an eight out of ten."

"The cost of licensing is approximately ten dollars per suite, per month. When scaling up, there are a lot of other expenses such as infrastructure, the telecommunication companies, etc."

"The price is much better than other products so pricing is rated an eight out of ten."

"When I compared it with a similar product, ManageEngine ServiceDesk Plus was $2,000 cheaper."

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

"ManageEngine ServiceDesk Plus' price is very reasonable."

More ManageEngine ServiceDesk Plus pricing and cost advice

"The price is approximately $70 per agent, per month."
