Featured Reviews

Nadeem K.

Rpa Developer at a consultancy with 11-50 employees

Automation has freed teams from repetitive finance and supply tasks and supports global operations

In the current organization, we had trouble initially because I think the documentation and support could be better than what it is now. This is one difference between Automation Anywhere and other RPA tools such as UiPath. In UiPath, if you have an issue, you go to the UiPath website and search for it, and you get lots of help materials. In Automation Anywhere, you do not get exactly what you are looking for. You get a very large number of results when you search for something, and from this large result set, you have to filter out what you need, or only partial information will be available. User handbooks are available for each product. In that regard, I would say Automation Anywhere is lagging compared to other RPA tools. It is difficult to get hold of their customer support team. I want to clarify that it is not a matter of us building logic on Automation Anywhere and it failing. When it is a product-related issue, they have to give us support because we only know how to develop within Automation Anywhere. We do not know how to fix Automation Anywhere itself. Whenever we have an issue, trying to get in touch with them always takes three to four business days.

Technical Officer at a tech services company with 11-50 employees

Responsive technical support and an easy initial setup but needs better asset management

We found the initial setup to be surprisingly straightforward. It's not overly complex and difficult, and the ease of setup is a great selling point. We started to do it on our own as it was so straightforward. There is a beginner's guide on their website which you can use. It's a very good toolbox and very useful. Basically, all you need to do is start up your virtual machine inside or outside, put in some passwords, and run one or two commands as directed and it's up and ready to go. The only thing that may take a while is the configuration process. Otherwise, the deployment is relatively fast. In about two weeks it's completely done. We have two or three people involved in the maintenance aspect of the product

Hemanthreddy Vakiti

Data Engineer at a tech vendor with 10,001+ employees

Structured workflows have improved SLA compliance and now support prioritized incident handling

I think the licensing and pricing of ServiceNow is quite expensive compared to other tools. For large organizations, it is acceptable, but specifically for small and medium organizations to track incidents or change requests, ServiceNow is quite expensive. Sometimes performance can be slow when workflows and integrations are configured for complex tasks. For advanced customizations or advanced features which we rarely use, the documentation is not up to standard. The documentation needs to be improved for advanced customization features. However, the platform is stable overall and the features are quite good. The user experience and performance concerns I mentioned are areas I want to be improved. When many workflows and interactions are configured, performance is slow. For the features it is providing, it is quite expensive. If these performance features are improved, we can easily pay that price and get the return on investment.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"It is very easy to use, very easy to learn. That is the main advantage of this tool. You don't need to have very specialized skills to learn it."

"The deployment is very easy."

"I would rate Automation Anywhere a perfect ten out of ten, considering it is significantly better than what we had before."

"AA helped us to reduce the processing time of requests almost instantly."

"It provides, not only hard benefits, but also soft benefits, leaving the human mind free of all voluminous repetitive tasks so workers can do the work that they are intended to do, which is thinking."

"It helped agents process tickets with minimal errors and improved average handling time as they are able to close the tickets faster."

"We can see what the bots are doing when they are working."

"Adding Automation Anywhere is a tremendous value-add in the long-term."

More Automation Anywhere pros

"Due to this product, we've been able to improve our IT services and how we work."

"The documentation for beginners is easily available online and very useful."

"The solution is easy to use, simple to make queries, flexible to configure, integrates well, and supports all of our companies needs."

"In 12 years, I've rarely seen a failure of their cloud hosting, if ever."

"We have found the service easy to use, although, we have ended up customising a lot of parameters."

"The feature that I have found most valuable from ServiceNow is the ability to assign sub-tasks to different teams, including problem tickets and the regular and chain tasks."

"There are many expansions available."

"Straightforward tool."

"The impact of ServiceNow's self-service portal on IT staff dependency levels has shown a dramatic improvement."

"The most valuable feature by far of ServiceNow is the rapid development, how quickly you can actually go out and change things, adapt things, ready to fulfill the business needs."

More ServiceNow pros

Cons

"Logging into Automation Anywhere takes some time. I use it frequently, and each login currently takes some time. A reduction in this time would be helpful."

"Investment effect is almost none, unfortunately."

"The marketing for Automation Anywhere has room for improvement."

"There have been many instances, particularly in my previous organization where we did a lot of development in Automation Anywhere, catering to clients like CPA firms in America, where we raised tickets for solutions but did not always find a satisfactory resolution, despite connecting over a call."

"The biggest issue was that the new license required upgraded hardware infrastructure so we were getting all new tech stuff procured which meant that we were getting updated RAMs and things like that. Getting the licenses was easier but building the infrastructure which was required to support the new version was difficult."

"Automation Anywhere could improve by incorporating better integration with DevOps."

"Automation Anywhere has a persistent click-related issue that can make automation difficult, particularly in unattended environments."

"They need to make the AA stable across all browsers and I hope to see it fixed in the next version."

More Automation Anywhere cons

"Asset management aspects of the solution need work."

"We have noticed that sometimes we have a delay in action on technical support issues due to time differences."

"The solution is lacking in the mobile application area that could be improved."

"There is a need to enhance ticket details visibility on the portal, such as displaying SLA information, which currently requires development effort."

"The solution's user experience could be improved concerning its UI and portals."

"The price is a huge barrier in the Portugese market when it comes to implementing ServiceNow."

"The big area of improvement that I see is in the licensing model for the CreateNow app."

"It became kind of complex to set it up without a general lack of knowledge of the particular feature-function capabilities. Features and capabilities could have been explained better to the end-users."

"The Software Asset Management feature can be improved. We would like to see more features for the Software Asset Management functionality. Its price can also be better. It is currently more expensive than other solutions."

"From what I heard we've had contractors who've come in who've worked on other people's incidences, and they say our incidence is the buggiest of all the other incidences they've dealt with."

More ServiceNow cons

Pricing and Cost Advice

"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."

"The cost is high for small-scale businesses but it is fine for medium and large enterprises. Its high licensing cost may affect small-scale businesses. Reducing licensing costs would benefit many users."

"It has good licensing costs which are average for the market."

"If I compare it with Blue Prism, Automation Anywhere is cheaper. Blue Prism is very costly. Automation Anywhere's pricing follows the market, not less and not more."

"It is somewhere in the middle. The price and value of Automation Anywhere are better than UiPath. The pricing is good globally. It could be a little bit cheaper, but it is good."

"From my experience, I can say that the initial setup cost is easily recovered over a period of time once the bots start running in production."

"As our team size increases, we may get some more licenses for the tool."

"Our annual licensing costs are around $100,000 a year."

Information not available

"Certainly, from a product-platform perspective, the price is not too bad."

"We are happy with the pricing."

"The first impact for the customer is that it is expensive, but do not forget that it is a solution that includes infrastructure; a single cost, easy to justify."

"I am from Brazil. For Latin American markets, ServiceNow is very expensive as compared to other vendors, such as VMware."

"The cost is quite high."

"ServiceNow's pricing is comparatively higher than Helix's."

"They could be more competitive with their licensing."

"The price of this solution is expensive."

Motadata ServiceOps is an AI-enabled, ITIL v4-aligned IT service management platform that unifies the service desk, IT asset management, and patch and package management on a single product. It runs on Motadata's Deep Learning Framework for IT Operations (DFIT) and integrates natively with Motadata ObserveOps, so observability alerts can open and close tickets in one workflow.

ServiceOps is dual-certified: PinkVERIFY from Pink Elephant and PeopleCert ATV (ITIL 4 compliant across 12 practices). It deploys as SaaS, on-premises, private cloud, or public cloud, which suits regulated industries with data-residency needs. AI is built into every module rather than sold as an add-on, covering ticket routing, smart suggestions, and SLA automation. A 30-day free trial is available.

What are the main modules in Motadata ServiceOps?

Service Management: ITIL v4-aligned service desk covering request, incident, problem, change, release, project, and knowledge management, with AI-driven ticket routing based on skills, workload, and availability.
IT Asset and Configuration Management: Full asset lifecycle from procurement to disposal for hardware, software, non-IT, and consumable assets, backed by a unified CMDB that maps configuration items and their dependencies.
Patch and Deployment Management: Automated patch discovery and deployment across Windows, macOS, and Linux, plus package and Windows registry deployment, with test-group rollout and approval workflows.
Agentic AI and Orchestration: AI classification, smart ticket assignment, and a workflow engine that automates approvals, notifications, and SLA actions across requests, problems, changes, and releases.
MSP Edition: Multi-tenant support for managing several entities or customers from one instance, with client isolation and branded self-service portals.

What should users look for in reviews for ROI?

Tool Consolidation: Check whether reviewers replaced separate service desk, asset, and patch tools with one platform, and what that did to total licensing cost.
Cost Against Enterprise Suites: A recurring theme in reviews is comparable ITSM capability at lower cost than large vendors. Look for reviewers who name the suite they switched from and the saving they saw.
Automation Impact: Look for reported ticket deflection through self-service and virtual agents, and faster resolution after AI-based routing.
Deployment and Compliance Fit: Assess how the on-premises and private-cloud options, audit trails, and dual ITIL certifications held up in regulated environments.

Motadata ServiceOps is used across manufacturing, BFSI, government, healthcare, telecom, and education, and extends beyond IT into HR, facilities, and finance through enterprise service management. Named deployments include Nuvoco Vistas Corp Ltd in manufacturing and Central Bank of India in banking, alongside telecom enterprises.
