Venkat Sivaprakash - PeerSpot reviewer
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.

More use cases can be added to the agent marketplace so that it is easier for us to integrate. The visibility, settings, and permissions should be more clear. Moveworks can provide easy methods and methodologies to continue working on agent studio and save time on the settings and permissions that Moveworks offers. More use cases can be added to the agent marketplace and the YAML or the DSL methods can be simplified, adding more methods to make it easier for us to create compound actions. Currently, we lack clarity about the DSL used in Moveworks, with only a few examples in the documentation.
Hemanthreddy Vakiti - PeerSpot reviewer
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

"We realized a return on investment with Automation Anywhere, especially during the COVID surge in volume within the payment process."
"We got the solution because of its ease of use with the API call, avoiding the use of developers."
"The most valuable feature of the product is the flexibility, as there are so many features that you can use to develop, and it can hit a lot of use cases."
"The scalability of Automation Anywhere, the framework, and user interface are particularly impressive."
"Because of this product's features, I would rate Automation Anywhere as a game changer."
"The most valuable feature is its easy to use."
"The Bot Store is an online library where anybody can find variously developed, production-ready bots."
"There has been a great return on investment."
"Moveworks has reduced employee time because initially, employees used to spend so much time going to the third party to do all those jobs, and now they can simply do it via Otter, which is Moveworks, and this has saved much time and provided accurate results as well."
"Moveworks has positively impacted our organization by lowering ServiceNow service desk calls by 90%, as users now prefer to ask questions through Moveworks in Teams before calling for help."
"The solution saves us approximately three-quarters of a million dollars per year."
"Productivity has increased since integrating ServiceNow because SLAs have been met in almost 99% of cases."
"It just enabled us to see the whole organization as a single organization, which, especially for higher ed and places like that, just doesn't happen."
"The new developer tools with Geneva have been the most valuable so far."
"We used ServiceNow for change management, release management, and event management."
"ServiceNow is a really great platform, and what I like about it is the integration capabilities that save a lot of time for our customers by connecting different systems with their suppliers."
"The product is very robust, the solution offers very good customization, I can make very strong chains and format excellent business rules."
"I recommend ServiceNow due to its stability and good security."
"The pricing of the product is quite good. It's not too expensive."
 

Cons

"They are already working on this: The boom of generative AI, the next-gen technologies, including advanced AI and ML technologies, are in the roadmap. I would like to see more and more AI integration and a bit more analytics. That would be great."
"It is negative right now. What we are expecting, for one bot creation, is a six-month turnaround for getting ROI, but that is only the developer man-hour versus actual time saved."
"They sell every different functionality in too many separate packages, making the procurement process complicated as it requires paying additional licensing for more features."
"While we have been developing over time, there have been issues with stability."
"There is a small thing from a development point of view. There should be a static site box for finding any command if I am writing a code. If there are hundreds of functions, you can only scroll up and down to find one each one. There should be a site box where we can find the commands and easily use them."
"They need to improve the speed. It runs too slowly."
"The product falls behind in working with webhooks."
"Its pricing definitely needs to be more competitive. When licensing costs are high, we cannot use this tool for automation."
"More use cases can be added to the agent marketplace and the YAML or the DSL methods can be simplified, adding more methods to make it easier for us to create compound actions."
"Customer support has been adequate; I would rate it around seven out of ten, as support often forwards cases to developers after collecting details."
"There is always room for improvement, though it depends on how complicated one wants to make it."
"I think some of the things we run into is the patching and how often patches come out to fix stuff."
"I would say there is a lot of room for improvement when it comes to technical support."
"The user interface for accessing assistance sometimes disconnects."
"The utilization of AI in ServiceNow needs enhancement."
"The pricing structure could be more budget-friendly."
"They could be more competitive with their licensing."
"We find it good in general. Obviously, there are areas of improvement for every capability. As they evolve more, if they keep on adding more intelligence into the capabilities, it will improve. The improvement areas are more integration across the landscape and more intelligence for the overall capability of the solution."
"Time to respond from support could definitely be better, as the global support timing sometimes causes delays in interactions."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Approximately, for a developer, it is around $750 for a license a year. For Bot Runners, it is about $550."
"The Automation Anywhere license is affordable and not complex."
"Costs savings have been seen by employing bots for multiple shifts instead of people."
"Our costs are approximately between $5,000 to $10,000 per license."
"The solution itself is free unless we want to add the support option but we have to pay for the bots we use."
"We have saved time and money using this solution."
"Our annual licensing costs for the entire company are $100,000."
"There is an annual license to use the solution."
Information not available
"The price of this solution is expensive."
"The solution is expensive."
"The mandatory minimum is US$ 20,000 for licensing."
"While the option exists to pay for a monthly license, we are dealing with large enterprises and these typically involve multi-year licenses of ten or five years, at a minimum."
"The price is okay for us. It's reasonable."
"The price could be a little lower for the solution. Many of my customers have issues with the licensing process, they have to make it easier and straightforward."
"The platform offers a free trial, by providing a free developer instance once you sign up."
"ServiceNow pricing is an art, not a science. The deal depends on how commercially savvy you are, which does make it something that is quite difficult to get right. It is most definitely an opportunity area for ServiceNow to improve and have more visibility around pricing of the different products within the platform."
