Featured Reviews

Nadeem K. - PeerSpot reviewer
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.
reviewer1634292 - PeerSpot reviewer
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
AmandaSanchez - PeerSpot reviewer
Consultant and Startup Founder at AimHi Enterprises
Macros and automation have streamlined workflows and reduced manual effort across support teams
The ability to communicate on the Zendesk ticket through the actual user software, so TOPs, would have been helpful. Somehow seeing a user's ticket history within our app would have been beneficial. That is the only thing that I do not think existed at the time that might have been helpful. Some people struggled with Zendesk, but it was always easy enough to show them how to use it and what they were missing. The only times we really had people report concerns about it was when they did not understand that it could do that or how to use it in that way.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"I like the OCR feature, where we can capture information from PDFs."
"The immediate impact is administrative tasks which were traditionally done manually are now being done by robots. This reduces the workload for people."
"Excel automation is especially helpful because a lot of small companies are still using Excel as their data storage."
"The overall usefulness of Automation Anywhere is the most valuable aspect of the solution."
"We have seen increased productivity, because what used to take about two days to finish with laymen doing computer work, a bot can finish within a seven to eight hour time frame, meaning we are removing a lot of man-hours."
"The most valued feature of Automation Anywhere is its Excel functionality; earlier in my career, I used Process Studio as my RPA tool and there was no flexibility of retrieving single cells, but Automation Anywhere has the flexibility to extract data from Excel."
"Being able to implement automation is valuable. We take the business logic and provide a solution to the client. Defining the intelligence pipeline is the most interesting and challenging aspect for me."
"Overall, I would rate Automation Anywhere a nine out of ten."
"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 most valuable feature was its simplicity as it was made easy to use."
"The product offers very good management. It has a great ability to assign tickets based on content."
"One of the most valuable features is the ease of use. If you take the standalone product, it is so easy to use, but if you want a tailor-made Zendesk Guide, you can't do it yourself. However, you can use a template that already exists—they have a lot, and they're very cheap, around 300-400 euros—and use it on all your brands. It's a very easy product to use."
"We were able to get up and running with Zendesk in a very short time and build a robust web app including help desk functionality that makes the product owner and client very happy."
"The collaboration between agents is impressive, and I also use Zendesk Workspace, which provides a seamless experience when communicating through chat and email."
"The most valuable features of Zendesk Support are collaboration, reports, and a self-service portal. The customer and team can see all the information needed from the portal."
"We have found the stability to be quite good."
"The ability to easily create macros, quickly see past correspondence from a recent sender, and view analytics are incredibly helpful features that are invaluable business tools."
 

Cons

"We have still not explored Automation Anywhere to its full potential, so I will restrict myself from commenting on improvement areas at this time."
"It is nice being able to develop and manage/schedule scripts from the same web browser interface, but there are times I wish that the bot developer screen was made more user friendly."
"The Automation Anywhere University courses have helped us, but it could improve some things, like how the courses are designed."
"Blue Prism is more secure than Automation Anywhere. E.g., Blue Prism has a system that is difficult to penetrate. You can't simply go into their system and make any changes."
"There is limited scope for complex decision-making. For instance, a bot can extract invoice details, but it cannot determine if an invoice is fraudulent without AI integration."
"The human training area is still something that needs to be improved. It's not so much the actual technology learning, but rather how you bring this to life with all the peripheral competencies that are needed for it."
"I would like to see extensive OCR capabilities in the next release."
"Unfortunately, this process was not used for a long time due to latency issues and a functionality gap."
"We have noticed that sometimes we have a delay in action on technical support issues due to time differences."
"Asset management aspects of the solution need work."
"Most of the time, if a particular candidate has too many documents, it really takes some time to load."
"The more customization you do, the slower it will be. Maybe this could be improved."
"There could be improvements in integration, which can be achieved with APIs or tools like Zapier."
"The solution could integrate better with QR codes from some websites such as Facebook."
"Support is not great. Their support is that specific support you get from a big American tech company."
"If you are only using it for the knowledge base, it may not be the best product."
"It needs to improve in terms of its flexibility, price, and installation."
"It could use better analytics for trend tracking as well as the ability to tie the customer support and sales items together."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The Automation Anywhere license is affordable and not complex."
"Our advice is that anybody interested in this product should negotiate product bundles in order to reduce the cost of installation and setup."
"More than 40 to 50 percent of the IT budget will be for the cost of automation projects in the coming years since these projects enhance operations add value."
"We're just starting to renew our license, and we were quoted $115,000 without the IQ Bot. The IQ Bot is another $30,000. This is with very limited pages, as we go through our first projects. The majority of the cost was for ten days of onsite training."
"It is expensive. I would rate Automation Anywhere an eight out of ten in terms of pricing."
"It's an ideal pricing model to customize the components based on everyone's needs."
"It is reasonable and affordable. If you consider the tasks that we can get done using this, the pricing is reasonable and affordable."
"Our annual licensing costs are about $500,000."
Information not available
"You have to pay extra for better support. So it's not only the license that you pay for, but you have to pay extra for the support as well."
"There are different plans that are offered. We are using the entry-level plan. The overall price of the solution should be reduced. The price is too high."
"We pay for the solution on a yearly basis and my understanding is that the cost is about $30,000. That's the cost for 24 to 25 agents."
"From what I hear, Zendesk's pricing is a little expensive."
"Zendesk's licensing is not cheap. For Enterprise, we are paying $200 per agent. It's a per-month cost, so it's pretty steep. There are some services you need to pay extra for. For example, with Zendesk Guide, we had to buy the most expensive offering in order to get Multibrand and everything. We also had to pay a lot of money for themes."
"The price is very competitive."
