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.

Manual ticketing features hinder workflow, but cost-effective ticket management is ensured
We just use it because it's more trouble to rip it out than to replace it with a more expensive tool. I would not recommend this product to others. If budget is a concern, it might be suitable but it doesn’t excite. Hence, I would rate it a four out of ten.

Organized real-time customer chats have improved support efficiency and response handling
One thing I found unique about Sendbird is how smooth the real-time chat feels. It does not feel delayed or clunky. Conversations flow naturally, as though you are talking to someone in real time. If I could improve one thing, I would add more built-in analytics around conversations, such as clearer insights on response times, common issues, and agent performance. That would make it much easier to optimize support without relying on external tools. One improvement I see for Sendbird would be more flexibility in customizing the chat interface, especially around how conversations are displayed for agents. Sometimes, when handling multiple chats, having better layout controls or quick filters would make it much easier to stay organized. I also would appreciate more built-in analytics inside the platform itself, such as clearer breakdowns of response times, chat resolution rates, and common customer issues. Right now, you often need external tools to get that level of insights. Overall, it works very well, but those improvements would make the day-to-day support work much smoother and much more efficient.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The marketing automation software provides easy workflow creation and management."
"A user can easily adopt this technology and utilize it, when compared to the other available resources in the market."
"Our developers love it. It is fairly simple to use. Sometimes, we are able to even bring people on fairly quickly, like interns, and have them use the software. Then, we are able to see some real benefit out of it fairly quickly."
"We use AA Client, Bot runners, Control room, IQ Bot, Bot insights. With the AA Client, we are able to automate almost all kinds of automation requirements without any big challenges. We found the availability of the number of commands provided by AA is really helpful to do automation within a small time frame."
"Automation Anywhere is a tool that I love! I am quite happy using this tool and there are no features or commands that I have found to be missing that should be added."
"Many of our tasks are automated using AA and due to ease in handling, it becomes the first choice in terms of RPA tool."
"Our onboarding process was pretty good. We got access to all software that we needed to learn and utilize. The Automation Anywhere University is really good. In our business, the person who was onboarding us helped us to understand how to create a center of excellence and what verticals we needed to improve. So, the support was there. We are gradually becoming a center of excellence ourselves."
"The scalability is good."
"The product teams are continuously on the products trying to improve them. If, for example, I ask for a change to be done in the software, the chances are in the next release it's going to be done and incorporated. It's this personal touch that I like."
"When using it predominantly for a help desk solution, it seems like an absolutely fine product."
"ManageEngine SupportCenter Plus works fine as a help desk software and is relatively inexpensive."
"Their tech support has been talking to us about expanding features like integrations with Microsoft Teams."
"Their technical support has been very helpful and is very good."
"The product is very scalable and stable when used as a help desk once it is built out."
"We have found the reporting in this product to be very useful."
"The most valuable features are the ITIL compliance and billing."
"Sendbird provides many features for real-time messaging, such as receipt ID and typing indicators."
"The Sendbird developer portal provides each step, including methods, making it easy to implement."
"The backend system was managed by Sendbird, eliminating the need for caching systems or local storage on user devices."
"The most valuable feature for us, besides chat, was file transfer, as we used it for sending files and images in chats."
"Sendbird is very flexible, and they have made great strides towards optimization."
"There are many useful features with Sendbird."
"Features similar to WhatsApp, such as online and offline statuses, message reactions, and replies, add significant value."
"Sendbird is reliable and generally crash-free."
 

Cons

"It would be better if they could extend the support for AA version 11 for a few more years, as most of the companies have tasks completed in AA version 11, and A2019 is much slower compared to AA 11."
"It would be helpful if we could start running a process from a particular step."
"There are some business areas for which this tool is not capable of doing, such as in the areas of graphically-based input."
"Automation Anywhere is not as flexible as Process Studio."
"From the IQ Bot perspective, frankly speaking, they still have to improve a lot... My expectation from a straight, technical, architectural point of view was that I would be able to create my own algorithm and integrate it. But with IQ Bot, I am not able to integrate anything..."
"I had an issue lasting for the better part of three years, and it was quite severe."
"The product needs improvements in dealing with remote servers and providing more APIs that will be used with other systems."
"It takes a lot of effort to build up the internal infrastructure/topics like Virtual Machine/Security/development-Governance/Usecase-Management."
"The product is very difficult to use and configure and requires specialists."
"They're pretty good but there's always room for improvement. There should be more templates that users can utilize immediately."
"The tech support is terrible and that seems to be a part of their business plan."
"There is no cloud-based version and it would be helpful if it were available."
"ManageEngine SupportCenter Plus could improve on workflow automation features."
"ManageEngine, in my experience, fosters that type of environment; it doesn't have an easy button, a graphic user interface, ease-of-use, and ease-of-dev — the product does not have any of that."
"I would like to see some kind of project management or portfolio management in a future version."
"The business model for the company is to sell low and charge for customization, education or expertise."
"Impersonating a user or using a template user to send messages for development purposes would be very useful."
"I thought that there should be the audio and the video call functionality as well."
"A major issue was the requirement for a separate connection to Sendbird, resulting in a delay when initiating the chat."
"Sendbird can be improved by looking into the app ID and improvements on a daily basis."
"At times, there are unexpected behaviors where the documentation suggests something different from how the SDK actually behaves, requiring us to create workarounds."
"Their teams could be better in sync, as I had a very bad bug wherein all three SDKs had a problematic initialization order that required a bug fix version to be released after 17 email exchanges to finally get them to agree that the fault was on their side, which was pretty painful."
"The documentation for integrating with the Flutter framework is lacking detailed information. Initially, I struggled to connect users and manage tokens for active and offline sessions, which caused frustration."
"One area that could be improved is the handling and visibility of unread message counts."
 

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."
"I would rate the price of Automation Anywhere a six out of ten, with ten being the most expensive."
"The cost of this solution is a little bit high, but it is worth the price."
"I'm not sure what the monthly licensing cost is, as that is taken care of by another team, but I would say it's around $100,000."
"It's the best RPA tool, but the pricing could be improved."
"The solution is quite expensive. Not every organization can consider this option."
"Our licensing costs are setup on an annual basis."
"The pricing is fair. My company is part of a big organization, so the pricing is very advantageous."
"The licensing fees depend on different criteria, including options and sizing."
"ManageEngine products will always be the lowest cost in category as that is part of their business model."
"There is a starter plan for $399 per month, and a pro plan for $799 dollars."
