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

"Automation Anywhere is a valuable tool, as a developer I can do whatever I want: if I want to do automation with the web, Windows, mainframe, or SAP applications, we can do whatever we want with automations using Automation Anywhere."
"I definitely find that it has helped increase productivity."
"The initial setup was straightforward. It is a very guided experience: out-of-the-box with Automation Anywhere University training."
"The initial deployment is not difficult at all for someone doing it for the first time."
"I strongly recommend Automation Anywhere as a compelling platform for RPA needs."
"We have never not had a yearly ROI; we've always greatly exceeded the cost of, or the investment in, the tool and it is saving us more than millions of dollars a year."
"The tool is now more stable, with more opportunities and new commands, like recording for the UI or advanced Excel features."
"Automation Anywhere has lots of features, some of them are accuracy increases, time consumption reduced, scalability. Automation Anywhere does not require a strong knowledge of programming languages. The dashboard is user-friendly."
"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 most valuable features are the ITIL compliance and billing."
"When using it predominantly for a help desk solution, it seems like an absolutely fine product."
"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."
"Their tech support has been talking to us about expanding features like integrations with Microsoft Teams."
"Vision Helpdesk has a very small price but has many functions, and compared with others their price is 3-5x lower for similar functionality."
"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."
 

Cons

"Certain areas of the user interface require improvement."
"Their OCR is a bit expensive, meaning the IQ Bot."
"One key feature we are looking for from Automation Anywhere is the need for a fully evolved CI/CD pipeline approach within our IT organization, given that we manage multiple applications."
"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."
"Additional features should involve the Cognitive Section where we need more Advance solutions involving ML & AI."
"My experience has been that if the person who codes the bot is not very well-trained, then they might create unstable bots."
"I am not technically inclined, and it involves many steps for a process to function properly. It requires a lot of work initially to design and develop a process. I find it somewhat challenging. If you take time to understand it, it's not too difficult, but it seems complicated at the beginning if you're not a technical person."
"Automation Anywhere can be improved with respect to the user-friendliness of the interface because most of the competitors are now using a flowchart-like structure, thus making it easy for anyone to learn and study it."
"The business model for the company is to sell low and charge for customization, education or expertise."
"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."
"ManageEngine SupportCenter Plus could improve on workflow automation features."
"The tech support is terrible and that seems to be a part of their business plan."
"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."
"I would like to see some kind of project management or portfolio management in a future version."
"The product is very difficult to use and configure and requires specialists."
"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

"It is not too expensive, but there are many tools available in the market that can provide the same functionality at a cheaper price."
"It costs up to $1,200 per license."
"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."
"Cost-wise, it is fine. A lot of medium businesses prefer Automation Anywhere. The development cost is also lower."
"IQ Bots are very costly. It's not a sustainable bot for us as of now. We will look for better, alternate options for that."
"The licensing cost for Automation Anywhere is high."
"On a yearly basis, our licensing costs are about $80,000. There are no additional costs beyond the standard licensing fees."
"Automation Anywhere falls within a mid-range price point when compared to other RPA tools on the market."
"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."
