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.

Documentation and API integration have room for improvement. We eventually switched to Zendesk and are much happier.
Help Desk functionality such as ticket tracking, hosting knowledge base, ticket routing, social media integration, API. But only if they work as advertised, which they do not necessarily. Yes, we learned to be more careful about selecting products and we ended up using a…

A fairly stable solution that’s highly mature, but has a poor user interface
The solution does not align as modern service solutions do. Seamless integration is no available among the processes. Their service management application needs a lot of work. It’s in a really bad state right now. They brought on a new interface that clumped all the processes and features of the solution into one. Still, it’s not really compatible with other solutions. Because of this, its rating has dropped in Gardner. The solution needs to improve its reporting features. The user interface needs a lot of improvements. The product needs to implement a cloud platform solution, which is lacking so far. Their workflow engine is still segregated. It’s not embedded. If you need to do some workflow approvals, you cannot do them directly on the service desk. You have to go into Outlook and do an approval or you have to go in through another screen to handle the approval because the workflow engine they have is a separate product.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"Automation Anywhere has helped us save on both time and cost."
"Automation Anywhere includes IQ Bots. So, IQ Bots is the key part of Automation Anywhere. You can work on any type of PDF, images, invoices, or billing things in any company. You can just upload it and extract the data, then use it as you require. It is a key part of Automation Anywhere: the best part."
"It improved on 40+ % of manual effort which was a pain point for project budget and Project team SMEs."
"I'd say there are new useful features that will definitely help us as we do more development in the near future."
"Automation Anywhere is a very good tool because it helps you along the process."
"Automation Anywhere has improved my organization by automating many rule-based and nonjudgmental processes in domains like telecommunications, human resources, financial services, and daily or monthly reporting."
"The code automation platform is the most valuable feature."
"We have been able to take an accounting task and clear a very large backlog, therefore being completely up-to-date on the task since implementing a bot on it."
"We eventually switched to Zendesk and are much happier with it."
"Essential service management solution all in one, like 100- for service request, 200- for change request, 300- for incidents, 400- for problems."
"CA Technologies support is excellent."
"Improved the effectiveness of my Service Desk Team and improved the SLA timing."
"The ability to add Additional Information Screens on the fly."
"It provides us with a very easy and flexible UI for CA Nimsoft Service Desk 7."
"The most valuable features for me are scalable architecture, customization potential where the UI, background, and data movement allow you to tailor to the nitty gritty details of what you might need in your environment, and advanced workflow management."
"It's quite a complete entry into the SaaS ITSM market with a reasonable price point."
"It’s provided self-service and automation, notifications, and reporting, and it’s good on a day-to-day and macro perspective."
 

Cons

"Product support for our customers needs improvement. They should increase the support personnel."
"The schedule queue needs improvement. When one task fails, everything else gets stuck, requiring manual intervention to clear the problematic schedule and trigger the other tasks."
"When I used this tool in the bot, it did not work. I got this issue when using the document automation learning instance."
"Though the courses in the certification's learning hub are great and awesome, there is some more space for adding more explained contents."
"With Citrix, we need a dedicated server to work with it. This has become complicated, as it is not easy to pull all the systems together into one place. It would be better if the Automation Anywhere team could make this easy and simple."
"One area where I think there's an opportunity to do things a lot better is in the analytics function. They do have a concept or product called Bot Insights. It hasn't worked for us. It isn't as plug and play as we were led to believe, which is unfortunate. I can absolutely understand the value, and the demonstrations that I've seen of Bot Insights are sensational. But, we just haven't been able to make it work. We've invested a lot of time and effort trying to make it work to no avail."
"One area requiring improvement is the debugging process. When I use a multi-structure with conditions to switch from one bot to another, successful debugging of the entire process is not feasible. Each bot has to be debugged individually."
"I would like more with OCR and data capture."
"In a nutshell, don't."
"We had a lot of issues with non-Windows servers during implementation."
"When tickets are closed occasionally, it is quite hard to reopen it, which will cause lost-tickets."
"The deployment was very difficult to handle. It's an unnecessarily difficult process that requires third-party assistance to do correctly."
"I would love to see better two-factor authentication as that would really help us and make a big difference."
"Flexibility to customize."
"It loses points because it’s not GUI enough, too code-y."
"Importing data with relations is difficult and could be better."
"Few probes need improvement in their function and the way they get deployed for monitoring."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"I don't agree with the IQ Bot licensing costs, which depends on the consumption of the document rather than per bot or user. This is confusing for me, because most of the cases for us in a possible future scenario, there would be a lot of invalid data to be scanned to get to real data. E.g., we would have to supply approximately 100 pages of scanned data to extract two pages of original data. In these type of cases, the IQ Bot might be a costly venture."
"It's cheaper than other similar solutions."
"The price for Automation Anywhere is reasonable."
"It's a bit expensive compared to other RPA tools on 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."
"I think the pricing is reasonable, but clients often perceive it as expensive."
"Cost-wise, it is fine. A lot of medium businesses prefer Automation Anywhere. The development cost is also lower."
"On a yearly basis, our licensing costs are about $80,000. There are no additional costs beyond the standard licensing fees."
