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.

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.

Enterprise Solutions & Services Head at Duroob Technology
A fairly stable solution that’s highly mature, but has a poor user interface
The solution does not align as modern service solutions do. Seamless integration is no available among the processes. Their service management application needs a lot of work. It’s in a really bad state right now. They brought on a new interface that clumped all the processes and features of the solution into one. Still, it’s not really compatible with other solutions. Because of this, its rating has dropped in Gardner. The solution needs to improve its reporting features. The user interface needs a lot of improvements. The product needs to implement a cloud platform solution, which is lacking so far. Their workflow engine is still segregated. It’s not embedded. If you need to do some workflow approvals, you cannot do them directly on the service desk. You have to go into Outlook and do an approval or you have to go in through another screen to handle the approval because the workflow engine they have is a separate product.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"Automation Anywhere has by far, provided one of the best and easiest solutions to implement RPA."
"The best features of Automation Anywhere include the user interface, which is quite easy to use now compared to its previous versions that were more difficult, and all code is visible during coding, showing what is going ahead and what follows in the code, which is not available in other RPA tools such as UiPath, making it a standout feature."
"The product has improved our organization cost-wise and bank savings in transactions. Everything has been changed for the better."
"We have leveraged automation to increase economies of scale and value-added work while reducing operating costs."
"We have been able to take an accounting task and clear a very large backlog, therefore being completely up-to-date on the task since implementing a bot on it."
"The automation of data entry is the most valuable feature for us."
"The best part about A2019 is its ease of use. You don't need to be a coding champ or an expert to use and implement A2019 in automating tasks. It's very easy to learn, tweak, and implement in your day-to-day tasks, especially features like capture/record is completely marvelous."
"With Automation Anywhere, our clients can get their work done fast and in an automated manner."
"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."
"The product is very scalable and stable when used as a help desk once it is built out."
"Their technical support has been very helpful and is very good."
"ManageEngine SupportCenter Plus works fine as a help desk software and is relatively inexpensive."
"When using it predominantly for a help desk solution, it seems like an absolutely fine product."
"Their tech support has been talking to us about expanding features like integrations with Microsoft Teams."
"We have found the reporting in this product to be very useful."
"The most valuable features are the ITIL compliance and billing."
"This is the best product for Large Infrastructure companies/organizations to monitor their infrastructures/servers etc."
"CA Technologies support is excellent."
"The most valuable feature is the ability to easily create service catalogues for our customers, something that we didn't have previously with the other tool we were using, which was SDM."
"It’s provided self-service and automation, notifications, and reporting, and it’s good on a day-to-day and macro perspective."
"Improved the effectiveness of my Service Desk Team and improved the SLA timing."
"The support is pretty good, the follow up is great; it is 24 hours, so that’s been useful, and it has a good escalation path, which is essential."
"Using the self-service functionalities we have been able to eliminate a lot of the support phone calls, and actually reduce a lot of our help desk staff."
"It provides us with a very easy and flexible UI for CA Nimsoft Service Desk 7."
 

Cons

"The bot scaling process was painful, when you go beyond a few bots, and because we had stability issues. We had to work through the issues, and they took us a long time."
"Because I am using an older version, I am rating the scalability as a seven out of 10. I feel a lack of convenience when I try to scale it."
"If the option were available to use the old generic-style variable type, it would be helpful."
"When comparing the code under version checks, although there is a change done, it doesn't say so because the change is done at the variable level and not in the line of code."
"Technical support needs to be worked on as the turnaround time can be around a week, even though we are just using the solution on a pilot basis. We are working in real-time with realistic data. While the process of a logging a ticket is good, the process from logging a ticket to closure needs faster support time."
"Automation tools have a lot of dependency on the environment, particularly on machines. Reducing this dependency could increase success."
"Excel functionalities, the macro interface can be improved in the next release of RPA platform Automation Anywhere. Functionalities such as maneuvering on the excel worksheets, increased capability to manipulate formulae, and other Excel functionalities will give Automation Anywhere and edge in the RPA platform category since most financial applications use a lot of Excel and macro sheets for their calculations and postings."
"I would like to leverage the AI component without the requirement to know a coding language, such as Python."
"I would like to see some kind of project management or portfolio management in a future version."
"The tech support is terrible and that seems to be a part of their business plan."
"The product is very difficult to use and configure and requires specialists."
"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."
"The business model for the company is to sell low and charge for customization, education or expertise."
"ManageEngine SupportCenter Plus could improve on workflow automation features."
"They're pretty good but there's always room for improvement. There should be more templates that users can utilize immediately."
"There is no cloud-based version and it would be helpful if it were available."
"Actually this product and its limitations reduced the Service Desk effectiveness compared to the product we were using."
"Usability for IT analysts could be improved."
"This is not appropriate for a small or even a medium-sized business. Too much overhead for a small company."
"I would love to see better two-factor authentication as that would really help us and make a big difference."
"We have been seeing a little bit of latency here and there, but we haven't been able to identify it."
"The deployment was very difficult to handle. It's an unnecessarily difficult process that requires third-party assistance to do correctly."
"I think they could update some of the interface. It doesn't look as pretty as some of the other ones."
"It loses points because it’s not GUI enough, too code-y."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"I would rate the price of Automation Anywhere a six out of ten, with ten being the most expensive."
"We have seen the tangible benefits of taking monotonous work off people's plates, creating capacity, and cost reductions."
"We have reduced our headcount, approximately 200 to 300 employees, by eliminating manual, repetitive work. It provides profit to the business."
"The cost of this solution is a little bit high, but it is worth the price."
"Our licensing costs are setup on an annual basis."
"Our costs are approximately between $5,000 to $10,000 per license."
"On average, a bot runner in Automation Anywhere can cost $5,000, while in Microsoft Power Automate, you can get most of the same functionality for $100."
"It's an ideal pricing model to customize the components based on everyone's needs."
"ManageEngine products will always be the lowest cost in category as that is part of their business model."
"The licensing fees depend on different criteria, including options and sizing."
