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.

Current setup enables smooth problem-solving but lacks comprehensive guidance and local support
More information about setup procedures and a more user-friendly front end would be beneficial. We need more information for setup processes. It is difficult to do the work independently, requiring us to hire external companies for maintenance hours to fix small issues that could be resolved faster in-house if we had better information. We have been looking for an upgrade version, but finding local service has been difficult. It has been challenging trying to get things done. Speaking with the Microsoft office, we found there are no local companies with substantial experience with SCSM. What we have now was installed five or six years ago. It has been difficult to change configurations and look for upgrades, even with all the manuals. Our office is considering moving away from SCSM and getting a service desk solution outside of Microsoft. For me, it has been a good tool to get help and solve internal problems in the office. It is a very good tool, but the difficulty in getting local service or more information is pushing us to look for another tool.

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 overall developer client has an easy-to-use UI."
"The support team is good and is able to resolve the issues or any challenges we encounter."
"The most valuable feature is the screen recorder, which helps to automate processes easily."
"We have received 70 percent optimization using this solution."
"Its ease of deployment is the most valuable feature. We have found with many customers that it's quite easy to deploy."
"Automation Anywhere performs efficiently."
"It helps with the speed on improving processes and the results of those processes."
"I have in fact told all my friends and colleagues who are in the RPA domain to work with Automation Anywhere because it's easier to run as well as to implement."
"The solution offers good productivity at a low price point."
"The call logging is the solution's most valuable feature; it's very easy to use and isn't too resource-intensive."
"The integration of the whole Microsoft suites is awesome, a very convenient package like an all-in-one tool but it is actually five or six products acting well together."
"The remote access is one of the features I really enjoy. The pushing of email updates and things like that are very good."
"It is one of the most stable solutions in the market."
"SCSM is easy to learn because all of the material, including training videos, can be found online."
"Microsoft System Center Service Manager is a good product; it seems very easy and is better than most of the other solutions, which often have only a few features and cannot do what Microsoft can do."
"This product has helped our organization by allowing people to connect with each other."
"Absolutely, we have seen a return on our investment."
"The two most valuable features are the portal and reporting."
"It is more flexible than our current solution."
 

Cons

"The licensing model could be a lot less complex, mainly due to their different structures, which are not straightforward."
"Had we had access to the RPA bots in advance, we would have practiced before fully implementing."
"It would be great if they provide installation documents that are easier to understand, place more focus on capturing the fields, and most importantly, concentrate more on the OCR capability."
"For this, we tried to automate handwritten documents, but it was not successful. I believe there is room for improvement."
"It is not as easy to implement as advertised. It is difficult across the board. It is difficult for technical and non-technical users."
"Version 11 is a bit heavy. At times, it takes a toll on the computing resources."
"The main things I've found that could be better are small things that can be annoying when you're using them a lot. I would recommend they add a feature where, if you mark the start of an "If" sentence it will highlight the end of the "If" sentence. That would make it easier to get a better overview."
"One of the main concerns with Automation Anywhere is the lack of a robust feature for capturing and managing information from the user interface, something competitors like Blue Prism already offer."
"It has not helped reduce the burden on IT resources."
"The patch management aspect of the solution should be improved. It's quite complicated and not user-friendly. If your systems are not patched properly, you are unable to pull reports."
"The solution could be more simple. For example, it takes a lot of work to create reports. It runs on Microsoft SQL queries. Creating custom reports on ManageEngine takes less work from the administrator."
"The logs and reporting-related features of the product have certain shortcomings where improvements are required."
"We have had some issues with the SCSM on-premise deployment version in the imaging aspects."
"Service Manager is not doing very well because, for example, there is no default web application and in order to use Service Manager we have to use the desktop console which is a disadvantage."
"On a scale from one to ten where one is the worst and ten is the best, I rate this product as a seven, maybe even between six and seven, because there are a few things they need to improve, especially in the interface."
"This solution has been difficult to deploy in some cases."
"Yes. Major system issues and outages during our implementation."
"It's a very cost-effective solution, but it's not robust."
"It needs better integration with other tools like Jira."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"AA comes at a more affordable price than the other tools."
"There is an annual subscription for Automation Anywhere."
"We have saved customers 400% in terms of time saved by implementing this product."
"The price is a little bit high but the support is good."
"It depends. For example, for my group, we are centralizing the infrastructure in Paris. Our contract is signed with Automation Anywhere in France. The currency and the pricing of Automation Anywhere in France can appear beneficial and interesting for Germany and Scandinavian countries, but when we share our infra and are internally charging other countries such as Poland, Brazil, or some other country with a lower currency value as compared to Euro, it becomes less beneficial. They would prefer to sign the contract directly with Automation Anywhere because they will benefit from a price that is as per their local market."
"From my experience, I can say that the initial setup cost is easily recovered over a period of time once the bots start running in production."
"We are not receiving the right information about their features, e.g. Automation Anywhere University, or anything that they are selling. They need to improve their documentation."
"Despite being less expensive than UiPath, Automation Anywhere remains cost-prohibitive for many small and medium-sized businesses."
"It is a lower price vs. other things on the market."
"The pricing is reasonable."
"The price should be lower."
"The platform is competitively priced."
"It is an expensive solution."
"The license for SCSM is cheap."
"The price of the solution could be better. My organization has an enterprise annual license with Microsoft which provides us support."
"I would rate the pricing as two out of five."
"The price is approximately $70 per agent, per month."
