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.

Chat-based requests have streamlined daily workflows
Moveworks can definitely be improved. Currently, we have to do most of the things on our own, such as creating UI and APIs for how things will work. There are not many things that Moveworks is supporting right now. I would say it should have some features that are already present in other bots, so they should focus on those more. Currently, Moveworks has UI policy restrictions and client script restrictions. I think they should edit it so that all these UI policies and other things are allowed. If there are some forms in Moveworks, it should capture that form and ask it in the chat from the user, taking answers one by one, rather than presenting a form to users. This would have a very positive impact.

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

"Bot creation is a cool feature. It allows the developer to do complex things."
"Excel automation is especially helpful because a lot of small companies are still using Excel as their data storage."
"It has the ability to tag different components within the automation. We built it to track the ROI and stability of the product."
"My clients have seen tremendous value when it comes to automating business processes, and the robust nature of the application allows them to scale their business processes pretty quickly."
"We did not encounter any stability issues with Automation Anywhere during the time I worked with the solution."
"One of the things I appreciate the most about Automation Anywhere is that it's in the cloud, so when we are on-site on a project, we collect a lot of data, hand it to this bot, and it runs the function; by the time we reach our destination, whether we move from San Francisco to New York, it's equivalent to 20 people's work in six hours, utilizing quite a few attended or unattended bots."
"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."
"It helps to improve and optimize processes. It eliminates some of the manual tasks, so we can save costs."
"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."
"The solution saves us approximately three-quarters of a million dollars per year."
"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 is a very good platform if you utilize it well."
"It enables us to meet SLAs, track issues across the environment, and report those issues."
"The area where we have benefited a lot is that, initially, it was very difficult to have end-to-end visibility into what was happening, and we were able to establish that with ServiceNow."
"We're getting a good cost-efficiency."
"The flexibility of the product in regards to configuring and customizing it to meet the company needs within a few clicks."
"When we can centralize all the contract information, ServiceNow will give us better control over asset management and technical debt."
"The solution is easy to use, simple to make queries, flexible to configure, integrates well, and supports all of our companies needs."
"If you can afford it, this is the premium Service Management suite out there."
"As time has gone on and ServiceNow has evolved and matured, we are loving the ease of the product."
 

Cons

"They have incorporated many latest technologies, such as AI, and there is always scope to improve the processes and have more stability."
"Automation Anywhere could improve by better integrating with DevOps. Currently, it cannot be integrated 100% with DevOps methodology, which many companies are requiring."
"I would like more cognitive abilities, artificial intelligence, and machine learning. E.g., if I see you, your facial recognition has to be there. If I send your picture, it should tell me your name, where you are from, and when I met you because we forget people. It should have these type of capabilities."
"For my organization specifically, the challenge is with Automation Anywhere upgradation. We have more than 100 bots that were developed five years ago."
"Automation Anywhere's frequent updates are unnecessary and disruptive."
"When we try to process structured documents but with some little pen marks, improper partitions, or faded documents, IQ Bot fails to extract data properly out of them."
"The AA portal should not give us pop-ups every time a bot agent is updated."
"Although the UI and elements are user-friendly, it is still difficult for business users without experience to understand how to use Automation Anywhere."
"Moveworks can definitely be improved. Currently, we have to do most of the things on our own, such as creating UI and APIs for how things will work."
"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."
"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."
"I think that it goes too fast sometimes and they have too many releases too often."
"There were performance issues, minor ones, with one customer."
"We still have some issues with some of our ITIL users, like some things aren't as intuitive as they could be."
"Customer Service: 8/10 - the vendor used to be really good, but with the massive growth of product use it’s deteriorated. Technical Support: 4/10 - the vendor used to be really good, but with the massive growth of product use it’s deteriorated."
"Direct support from ServiceNow is not very good. Most of the support comes from partners, and customers heavily rely on them."
"The reporting, which also includes dashboards, needs to be improved, and there should also be the ability to turn on and off portions of Project Management. Currently, as soon as you install the new version, you've got to go back there and make all the tweaks. There should be just a configuration file that goes to the new version.  The Project Management module does not leverage the knowledge base the way it should, and there is no built-in ability to get to the articles. Resource management should be easier. It would be amazing if they can make resource management a little bit more graphical. There are other solutions that I've seen where resource management was a more visual experience."
"Right now I'm working on finding out how duplicate usernames are being created in our ServiceNow instance and that causes problems because we need to assign a ticket to somebody and then it shows two names but they don't know which one to choose so they choose the one that's not active."
"I find the way you need to attach things like screenshots and stuff is a bit gimmicky."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"I would rate the cost of Automation Anywhere as a six out of ten, with ten being the most expensive."
"The product’s pricing is reasonable."
"I am not responsible for the pricing part, but I know the pricing is competitive compared to other tools."
"It has good licensing costs which are average for the market."
"It's justified because we have saved quite a bit of money at the company and many manual hours. Overall, it justifies the cost."
"We save 34,000 hours of time per year and have recouped up to $6000 in lost revenue."
"We were paying approximately $30,000 for a year license."
"Our annual licensing costs for the entire company are $100,000."
Information not available
"Certainly, from a product-platform perspective, the price is not too bad."
"There is an annual subscription to use this solution."
"It is fairly expensive."
"The licensing expenses are excessively high."
"I would say it is moderately expensive, ranging from six to seven on a scale of ten."
"There are licensing fees."
"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 price of the solution is comparable to industry standards. For the features that we received, it is reasonable."
