Management Consultant at Accenture
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

"We reduce the time that scientists spend on manual tasks and put them on more value-added work."
"Sometimes the customer will not provide any data. Using Automation Anywhere, we can easily automate to capture the customer data. Then, we can use that customer data inside the Cisco Unified Wire Voice Portal."
"One of the most valuable features is the error handler, as this command has helped me design bots that can handle multiple errors and exceptions."
"I consider the verification station very useful because it allows you to quickly check if the data extracted are correct or if you need to change the process."
"The best features are the ease of use, the short learning curve, and the good support from our local partner."
"The best feature is its ability to combine Automation Anywhere with AI to build intelligent bots."
"By using its AI & ML capabilities, we have solved many problems for our clients."
"The general features, that we can automate a task that takes hours into minutes, are valuable."
"The solution offers good productivity at a low price point."
"If it is correctly configured, you can access and give service quickly to all the end users."
"The remote access is one of the features I really enjoy. The pushing of email updates and things like that are very good."
"This product has helped our organization by allowing people to connect with each other."
"It is one of the most stable solutions in the market."
"It is a simple solution that is easy to configure."
"Many more features than other comparable products."
"The solution's setup process is relatively straightforward due to the familiar deployment steps similar to other Microsoft solutions."
"Absolutely, we have seen a return on our investment."
"It is more flexible than our current solution."
"The two most valuable features are the portal and reporting."
 

Cons

"My experience has been that if the person who codes the bot is not very well-trained, then they might create unstable bots."
"The original setup was easy. What was difficult was adding licenses. I went a month where I was paying for licenses that I couldn't use, for various reasons. That was painful."
"SMTP mail features should come with migration options. All kind of VB scripts and Java scripts which we built using exiting version should support in this version."
"The debugger is also a weakness of the tool, forcing the developer to use error handling or message box to map errors. Few applications take more time for loading when integrated."
"Integration with secondary environments needs to be improved or enabled."
"Triggers work in the attended mode on Automation Anywhere. I would love it if we could use triggers in the unattended mode too. This way we can use the feature more in our IT sector. E.g., when any service or folder is accessed by unauthorized person, we want to be able to get an immediate trigger, even on "out of office", this would be helpful for my organization."
"The IQ Bot could use improvement."
"Overall improvement is needed for non-technical users who face challenges with how to use it and how to perform more tasks."
"The user interface needs to be improved."
"My company had planned a few months ago to apply SCSM over the cloud in order to provide updates, like regular updates, but it had to be put through a few tools from Microsoft on the cloud, which was not easy."
"Our office is looking for maybe getting out of SCSM and getting a service desk solution outside of Microsoft."
"Look around as there are a lot of better solutions!"
"This solution has been difficult to deploy in some cases."
"Although some engineers at Microsoft are good, the support often lacks expertise, and response times are slow."
"It has not helped reduce the burden on IT resources."
"It would be good if Microsoft added custom attributes or tagging like in Jamf."
"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

"It saves me around $100,000 a year."
"There is a free trial so that they can get an overview, and there are different licenses that are very affordable and can suit every business model."
"It's an ideal pricing model to customize the components based on everyone's needs."
"We brought onshore a lot of what we were doing offshore, saving our company close to $20 million."
"It is somewhere in the middle. The price and value of Automation Anywhere are better than UiPath. The pricing is good globally. It could be a little bit cheaper, but it is good."
"Automation Anywhere's pricing is significantly higher than other RPA solutions."
"My only suggestion in terms of pricing is very generic and that is to consider that as much as RPA saves cost and does automation, please get a realistic estimation done on whether you are really achieving any ROI over your investment with RPA."
"The price is a little bit high but the support is good."
"The license for SCSM is cheap."
"It is a lower price vs. other things on the market."
"It is an expensive solution."
"Licensing can be complex and confusing."
"The price of the solution could be better. My organization has an enterprise annual license with Microsoft which provides us support."
"The price should be lower."
"The platform is competitively priced."
"The pricing is reasonable."
"The price is approximately $70 per agent, per month."
