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.
MA
Assistant Manager Of IT Department at a comms service provider with 51-200 employees
Automated email replies have saved hours daily but still need broader workflow integration
The features of Moveworks that I have not fully explored include some features I would actually like. Fully automating the passing of entries and automating entries generation would be valuable. For example, if I have a finance staff that is continuously passing an entry for me, I want a situation whereby it can pass that entry automatically and post it based on the synchronization and command which I have configured. I believe some other bot applications are doing something similar. If all these work tools can be put together to automate this kind of process, it will be very great. Major things I would want Moveworks to do more of - I do not know whether this functionality is already there - I want it to perform the work of bots so I can quickly automate some other applications to it, such as passing some entries. That is one request. Secondly, regarding the integrations of bots of Moveworks with other applications, I would appreciate if there were a step-by-step process for all standardized applications such as WhatsApp, Outlook, Microsoft Office, Microsoft Teams, and some TeamViewer and other applications that are work tools. The step-by-step synchronization and integrations of these things, if it can be posted on the website, would make it much easier for people who want to do the synchronization instead of doing a lot of research before it gets done.
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

"The platform itself is intuitive and easy to use. I have even mentioned to people who aren't developers or very computer savvy that they could pick up Automation Anywhere and just get started."
"I would recommend using this product; it is very useful, we can automate anything through it, there is much flexibility, and it provides a robust mechanism, which is good."
"IQ Bot is very helpful as it is easy to learn and implement and the data output accuracy is almost 90%."
"AA RPA has drastically reduced speed of execution and thus turn around time of processes, ensuring all service level agreements are met and our customers get a great experience."
"It saves time. It has saved 4,000 to 5,000 hours for one large complex process."
"The most valuable feature of Automation Anywhere is the automation that frees up time for our employees to engage with customers."
"The best feature of AA is the scheduling and the triggering..."
"There are things that used to take us a lot of time, like manual entries or HR queries, but now that the bots are in place, we are saving a lot of time."
"The solution saves us approximately three-quarters of a million dollars per year."
"Moveworks has reduced many tasks from us, saving an average of one to two hours per day because emails that used to take ten to fifteen minutes to compose are now getting done within two minutes, sometimes even when I am not there."
"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."
"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."
"ServiceNow is a great product because you can do almost anything with it."
"Identifies better ways to license software or eliminate unused software to save money and maintain a choice between buying more licenses or reclaiming licenses to stay within compliance."
"From my standpoint, it's the process flexibility."
"In financial management, this platform has the infrastructure allowing us to expand the way we want to. For example, it gives you many business rules and budget models that you can use to optimize your workflow. It does not put you in a box. Additionally, integrating this solution with other platforms is extremely easy to do."
"The most recent addition of SAM Premium is a game changer for many organizations."
"I like the flexibility on ServiceNow; we use it for our help desk admin and our call center, but we also use it for our knowledge management system, which is our growth area, and we get to add our custom homemade apps plus vendor apps to integrate into it to get the total package that we need."
"Straightforward tool."
"There are lots of modules around IT service management such as IT business management and human resource management (HRC)."
 

Cons

"We have HTML mode and Window mode, but Automation Anywhere is limited in this. It would be better if they were able to provide different specification modes."
"The scripting can be a bit difficult."
"One day, there will be a message box saying that the application is down or not available on a weekend. The instructions will say read the information and click, "Okay." But a bot doesn't understand the instructions because it is not the IQ system."
"The bot insides should come in the same package versus having it as a different bundle by itself. If we could have this product come with all the inside solutions altogether, that would help."
"The integration is not always seamless. Sometimes, it takes a while to get everything to communicate and be ready to go into production."
"When you are hosting the application, that is when it is a little more complicated to set up. You need to talk to the IT department, as you are actually outside of their firewall, then you are coming back inside their cloud."
"The IQ Bot is pretty immature, in regards to AI and machine learning. I would like them to add additional logic."
"They can further improve the AI. It is already at a certain level, but it can be improved."
"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."
"It is still not perfect enough, but we are working on it to make sure it is very perfect."
"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."
"Sometimes there is not enough information about releases. For example, right now we have an issue understanding what the roadmap is for the Scaled Agile Framework."
"Technical support could be better. We are not satisfied with the level of support they offer."
"Many of the things that we felt needed a little bit more shoring up was their CMBD product and their discovery, they seem to have covered that in the Helsinki release."
"Needs additional software titles and easier normalization."
"Their cloud management is also not that great compared to other products."
"I do not have particular details, but what I heard from my boss is that it's not a cheap solution, especially when you want to roll out to more people or more colleagues in an organization."
"The licensing needs to be divided into tiers in order to attract lower-level users."
"It's like, "That's not an answer." It's like, "What should we do? We need guidance." Well, "No. you can do anything with it." Okay. That doesn't quite help me as a user, and future administrator, or as an executive."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"We have saved customers 400% in terms of time saved by implementing this product."
"One of the things that will be good for the community will be to get the free version to download, which came out just a month ago called Community Edition. So, you can actually download it and try it for yourself."
"The licensing cost could be improved. It costs a lot. At the very least, the developer licenses and the control panels should be made free to enterprises, and the production environment licensed."
"The cost is anywhere between $10,000 and $100,000."
"I've seen the price vary by whether the client is going to scale and adopt a tool."
"They're very flexible around pricing and licensing."
"When you compare the cost of Automation Anywhere with UiPath and Blue Prism, those others are much less. Licensing-wise, UiPath wins the deal."
"Automation Anywhere is cheaper than UiPath and Blue Prism. From a market point of view, Automation Anywhere is reasonable. Any organization can adopt Automation Anywhere."
Information not available
"It has a higher cost compared to local/regional solutions."
"Certainly, from a product-platform perspective, the price is not too bad."
"The CapEx version is great."
"It is very expensive because it is a big organization. You have to pay for additional things."
"While the option exists to pay for a monthly license, we are dealing with large enterprises and these typically involve multi-year licenses of ten or five years, at a minimum."
"The license model is based on a number of fulfillers (active users who play some role within the ServiceNow functionality). Therefore, you can serve as many end-users as you want, without additional costs."
"The mandatory minimum is US$ 20,000 for licensing."
"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."
