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.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"It is easy to use and developer-friendly. The development time is very short. If any system needs to be changed or any functionality needs to be incorporated to any of the technology, it usually will be a long process, like months. With this innovative tool's automation, it is very dynamic, easy to develop, and deliver results quickly. With some of our use cases, we were able to deliver within the time frame of two to three weeks, which is the biggest plus with this tool."
"In particular, with our requirements, we have seen reduced dependency on the workforce and we had proper execution of our business process."
"Automation Anywhere has saved us a lot of time."
"What I appreciate the most about Automation Anywhere is that the end-user experience is superior to any of the other tools on the market that we've looked at."
"The thing I appreciate most about Automation Anywhere is how integrated the aspects of it are."
"Several manual, repetitive, time-consuming processes were automated, giving back time to the process owner, and for most of them the process now follows a single standard with additional controls created."
"Automation Anywhere is a great platform; it is the tool that allowed us to bring back to life former plans to create our digital workforce."
"On average, the return that I've seen is about three dollars for every dollar spent on RPA."
"The most valuable features are the ITIL compliance and billing."
"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."
"When using it predominantly for a help desk solution, it seems like an absolutely fine product."
"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."
"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."
"If you are looking for an affordable solution for your business but want all the features of something you would expect to pay highly for, choose Vision Helpdesk! Trust me - you won't look back!"
"Customer service has been one of the best for any software provider we have seen; any issue we had was solved quickly."
"Vision Helpdesk has a very small price but has many functions, and compared with others their price is 3-5x lower for similar functionality."
 

Cons

"Apart from the Chrome issue, which took them maybe a week to fix, we lost a lot of processes during that time, but it just happens unfortunately."
"There is room for improvement when this application is used in a Citrix-based environment."
"IQ Bot should have an easier way to tag the document's source after extracting information from the document. (Which group does the document or a transaction belong to)."
"These guys need to build a good team."
"There were times in the past where through submitting a ticket for support, it seemed that some of the engineers who were helping me did not understand the product that they were supporting. That felt difficult because I felt I was almost explaining the product to the company."
"If you are not on-premise, then you will need to have Citrix automation."
"Some NLP AI is required to work in combination with RPA, especially for reading unstructured emails."
"We run these bots in multiple environments from staging to development to production. We find usually in the production environment when we run the bots for them to be stable for a week or two. After a week or two, we see some glitches here and there, though the application doesn't change much. This is one feature which I want Automation Anywhere to work on: Increasing stability."
"The product is very difficult to use and configure and requires specialists."
"The tech support is terrible and that seems to be a part of their business plan."
"I would like to see some kind of project management or portfolio management in a future version."
"They're pretty good but there's always room for improvement. There should be more templates that users can utilize immediately."
"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."
"There is no cloud-based version and it would be helpful if it were available."
"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 think I'd like to see a more user-friendly interface in the user-ticket view."
"Their live-chat support needs work."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The setup cost for this is onetime and licensing is based on your choice of product."
"The setup and licensing cost is affordable, and it is not exaggerated like UiPath."
"The Automation Anywhere license is affordable and not complex."
"We have saved time and money using this solution."
"The initial setup and licensing fees are high, and although it saves costs in the long run, reaching the break-even point can take at least six months."
"It depends. For example, for my group, we are centralizing the infrastructure in Paris. Our contract is signed with Automation Anywhere in France. The currency and the pricing of Automation Anywhere in France can appear beneficial and interesting for Germany and Scandinavian countries, but when we share our infra and are internally charging other countries such as Poland, Brazil, or some other country with a lower currency value as compared to Euro, it becomes less beneficial. They would prefer to sign the contract directly with Automation Anywhere because they will benefit from a price that is as per their local market."
"Our company is investing a lot of money in Automation Anywhere. They have saved money wherever humans are working. They invest a lot of money in FTEs and other logistics, so the money saving is very pretty good with Automation Anywhere. While I don't know the exact figure, the tool is saving us millions of dollars as well as saving about 40,000 hours in the last year."
"Automation Anywhere has an advantage in terms of licensing. It is more cost-efficient compared to all other RPA platforms. It is a recommended solution when clients need a cost-efficient automation tool to perform unattended automation."
"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."
