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.

Omni-channel routing has transformed case handling and now supports complex field operations
From my experience, we might need queue-based alignment in Omni-Channel routing. Assignment rules should be defined at the flow level. The challenge with SLA creation is evident in escalation rules, which should include a field flagging feature that is lacking in the current setup. Einstein Bot, linked with Omni-Channel messaging, is complex to define, with a need for all related information in one place, making the process cumbersome. Understanding which bot is associated with specific messaging apps requires manual searching, and this can be improved.

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

"The speed-up and greater control over the quality of the processes have also led to savings in money and are increasing the happiness of the company's customers."
"The integrations with the OCR engines in Automation Anywhere are quite powerful, and they have helped us in many projects."
"We have had a lot of success using Automation Anywhere products and we've actually built a few solutions that were done on the EY cloud, which are offered to clients as a managed service."
"The product is easy to use. It is a good tool for developers and business users."
"SAP GUI Integration commands are highly useful while working with SAP applications and facilitate easy use of the software. This feature has been recently incorporated within the software and we have been using it to interface with SAP systems in development as well as production."
"Automation Anywhere has a Bot Store. E.g., you can download the bot from the Bot Store and utilize it's data extraction capabilities. You can extract unstructured data through IQ Bot. Getting unstructured data is not difficult. I once obtained an 84 page PDF file using an IQ Bot. This was just the trial version, and it was really good. I was able to get all the circuit IDs and properties that wanted in a simple CSV format. I had not seen anything like this before. When compared to other platforms, such as UiPath, they don't have these capabilities right now. They have activities like PDF extraction, but that's not good enough."
"We have multiple bots running. It saves time. If manual invoice processing in SAP takes two to three hours on a daily basis, a bot can do the same job in half an hour. We are saving more than 70% of the time."
"Workbench, which is a development tool, is very friendly. It is complete. Compared to Power Automate, Automation Anywhere is much more comprehensive and easy to understand."
"Distributing them automatically and evenly between users through Omni Channel ensures that everybody performs at their best and improves their productivity!"
"The built-in, ready-to-go package of case management, email management and social media management with a knowledge base helps to speed up the implementation time."
"I started to use it two months ago and absolutely love it."
"The complexity of the solution is very less."
"The product's initial setup phase was straightforward."
"The solution is a great product. It's hosted on a platform that offers various features, such as email, social media, phone calls, and chatbots. You can connect with customers through any of these channels."
"The flexibility of the platform is what really separates it from the crowd."
"We used Salesforce Service Cloud for CRM (customer relationship management) cases and general sales cases."
"This is the best product for Large Infrastructure companies/organizations to monitor their infrastructures/servers etc."
"It’s provided self-service and automation, notifications, and reporting, and it’s good on a day-to-day and macro perspective."
"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."
"This is really easy solution to scale up and get get going to add new catalog items."
"It provides us with a very easy and flexible UI for CA Nimsoft Service Desk 7."
"The ability to add Additional Information Screens on the fly."
"CA Technologies support is excellent."
"The most valuable feature is the ability to easily create service catalogues for our customers, something that we didn't have previously with the other tool we were using, which was SDM."
 

Cons

"Also, we're seemingly plagued with certain technological issues or bugs."
"When comparing the code under version checks, although there is a change done, it doesn't say so because the change is done at the variable level and not in the line of code."
"In the A2019 community edition, while running its taking time to run RPA bots and having few bugs related to IQ Bot server connectivity and other things."
"Sometimes the tool is timing out, which would be a good thing to have resolved."
"Verbose logging of bot compiling and deployment from the control room. Events occurring during compiling, pre-processing the bots should be logged in the control room or bot launcher logs."
"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."
"Cloud API vision and OCR engine integration should be more effective."
"One way Automation Anywhere can be improved is in ticketing; I have a couple of tickets that have been outstanding for a while, and the support staff have closed tickets without checking with me first, which has been a sore spot."
"The integrations with other solutions can be improved."
"There is no control over the appearance of Visual Flow pages, giving the appearance of an amateur web application within the Salesforce interface."
"The solution’s user interface could be improved."
"The pricing of the solution can be made cheaper."
"The product's high price is an area of concern where improvements are required."
"The documentation could be improved."
"I'd like to see a better UI/UX. It also needs more competitive pricing on the Service Cloud feature licenses."
"The workforce management could use improvement as my client wasn't happy with the scheduling engine."
"I think they could update some of the interface. It doesn't look as pretty as some of the other ones."
"When tickets are closed occasionally, it is quite hard to reopen it, which will cause lost-tickets."
"Few probes need improvement in their function and the way they get deployed for monitoring."
"Their service management application needs a lot of work."
"The solution needs to improve its reporting features. The user interface needs a lot of improvements."
"We have been seeing a little bit of latency here and there, but we haven't been able to identify it."
"We had a lot of issues with non-Windows servers during implementation."
"The deployment was very difficult to handle. It's an unnecessarily difficult process that requires third-party assistance to do correctly."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Additional costs will be for the machines and the number of machines that you are using. You can deploy virtually as well as on physical machines. In both the situations, you do need to allocate a certain budget for securing the machines and where the software will be installed and running. The machines cannot be used for anything else, because only a certain bot can run at a certain time. You need to be very particular about your scheduling of running the bots, and while the bot is running nobody can use the machine. You cannot have an agent working on a machine and the bot running in the background. It has to be completely dedicated. Then there are the network bandwidth requirements and space requirements, which are additional costs apart from the licensing and software costs. The developer is also going to charge you for their coding time too."
"The solution is quite expensive. Not every organization can consider this option."
"I have heard that Automation Anywhere is expensive."
"Automation Anywhere is flexible in terms of costing and licensing."
"There are some additional costs beyond the standard licensing fees. There are a couple of add-ons we've looked at: The IQ Bot for OCR and machine-learning were add-ons, as well as the Bot Insights - the analytics."
"There may be room for the product to be more competitively priced to excel in the market."
"We generally follow the Gain-Sharing Pricing model, which enables the customer to start getting the RPA benefits right from day one of their implementation."
"Automation Anywhere is competitive... Pega is somewhat comparable, but Pega also requires a lot more infrastructure and a lot more experience to get up and running."
"We pay a yearly licensing fee for Salesforce Service Cloud, which is expensive."
"Salesforce Service Cloud is a bit expensive."
"The tool is pretty expensive."
"Salesforce is not a cheap product. It can be expensive."
"Salesforce is very cost-effective."
"The product is expensive. There is a need to make yearly payments towards the licensing costs attached to the product."
"The price of the solution depends on how many users need access to it"
"Salesforce Service Cloud is a highly expensive solution"
