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.

Field service has become more customer focused but asset-centric workflows still need improvement
Regarding the positive aspects of the product, the first advantage is that it is integrated with the CRM customer, making it highly customer-focused. I can easily connect with the customer, have agent AI to directly communicate with them, and customers can create a case without any intervention. Technicians can reach out to customers, making communication seamless. The knowledge base in the product definitely helps resolve customer issues. I use the knowledge base mainly for the technicians; they get the details, pre-work brief, and information on probable cases based on what the customer reports, including what parts they need to carry. Omni-channel support definitely improves customer engagement, but it has been available for a long time, so it is nothing new currently.

Stable, easy to install, and cost effective, but it needs better integration and data management
It needs better integration with other tools like Jira. Better reporting and better data management are also needed. I believe the way they're structured is the flat file. So it'd be better if they actually used a database for the data storage, and a more robust portal. I would like more flexible reporting.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The standout qualities of Automation Anywhere were the ease of automation and that it is an intuitive tool. After a simple walkthrough, a couple of hours or two, you would be able to hit the ground running."
"The best feature is its ability to combine Automation Anywhere with AI to build intelligent bots."
"We are making less mistakes and have more metrics available to understand what our problems are. Now, we can do root cause analysis and have less noise in the system during the process."
"By using its AI & ML capabilities, we have solved many problems for our clients."
"The data capture feature is very valuable. I know there are also some elements where you have to be able to incorporate AI, but I haven't gotten to that level yet."
"The initial deployment of Automation Anywhere is user-friendly, the wizards are self-explanatory, it is a very low-code environment that allows flexibility to explore based on the project's complexity, and overall I believe Automation Anywhere is a very user-friendly tool."
"The time savings are valuable."
"If we talk about the automation RPA, it definitely has worked very well for us, giving good savings of more than 180 FTEs after implementing more than 200 plus bots."
"The interface is quite user-friendly."
"There is an out-of-the-box feature for reporting and analytics"
"It's a cloud tool, so it is easy to set up."
"Salesforce Service Cloud is a user-friendly and flexible CRM tool that provides good accessibility and security."
"Head count in service management was reduced, department moved into a profitable position, and we increased service business by 30%."
"Customer service is very good."
"The Salesforce customer service has been excellent."
"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 two most valuable features are the portal and reporting."
"It is more flexible than our current solution."
"Absolutely, we have seen a return on our investment."
 

Cons

"The UI can be improved a little bit to make it easier for beginners to understand."
"It would be better to make it more user-friendly so that individuals with no experience can pick it up pretty quickly."
"We have a lot of use cases that depend on certain Java applets, and currently we're not able to leverage the Object Cloning that would speed up our automation designing. So we have to revert to more image recognition-type of designing, and it just takes a long time to get that bot built."
"Currently, there are some vulnerabilities in security that need attention in Automation Anywhere."
"We have used the technical support. I am quite unhappy with the support part. The higher priority tickets are not getting resolved within the SLA. Higher priority tickets for production issues should be looked into immediately. However, until they get escalated, tickets are not receiving higher priority. I would like to see this improve."
"New versions keep coming up. The challenge for us is to have the downtime to do the migrations."
"One key feature we are looking for from Automation Anywhere is the need for a fully evolved CI/CD pipeline approach within our IT organization, given that we manage multiple applications."
"Looking at the POC's requirements and use cases, our customers are asking us for the OCRing of handwritten documents."
"The product's high price is an area of concern where improvements are required."
"The solution could be more affordable as it's quite expensive for some organizations, particularly middle-sized companies."
"The pricing for what Salesforce Service Cloud offers is not great."
"The prices for storing files - like example attachments - are really high per GB."
"I guess it loses a point because the demos we see on world tours have a lot of customization in them and are not at all out-of-the-box."
"Specifically, they need to improve the Knowledge Management module."
"There are elements of Service Cloud which cannot be smoothly migrated from sandbox environments to production, leading to manual steps in a deployment."
"They need to improve the email integration with Outlook. At the moment the plugin is very unstable, and crashes from time to time."
"It needs better integration with other tools like Jira."
"It's a very cost-effective solution, but it's not robust."
"Yes. Major system issues and outages during our implementation."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"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."
"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 cost for scalability is much cheaper than developing a new system."
"They're very flexible around pricing and licensing."
"It's cheaper than other similar solutions."
"This is a comprehensive automation offering with a scalable architecture and flexible pricing models."
"UiPath is exceptionally more expensive than Automation Anywhere. UiPath is far ahead of its competition, but in terms of finances, Automation Anywhere offers better value and is more effective for organizations seeking cost-effective solutions."
"The solution's pricing is pretty decent."
"The product is expensive. There is a need to make yearly payments towards the licensing costs attached to the product."
"We pay a yearly licensing fee for Salesforce Service Cloud, which is expensive."
"Salesforce Service Cloud is a highly expensive solution"
"The price of the solution depends on how many users need access to it"
"The price is too expensive."
"The tool is pretty expensive."
"Salesforce is not a cheap product. It can be expensive."
"The solution is priced at 50 dollars a month per user."
"The price is approximately $70 per agent, per month."
