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

"Features such as MetaBot and IQ Bot are very advanced and capable as compared to reading PDFs using OCR."
"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."
"AA helped our clients to achieve their goals faster and more efficiently, also reaching ROI very quickly."
"It helps in improving employee productivity, morale, and retention, as automation removes the tedious parts of work and frees up often stretched-thin employees for more meaningful and creative work."
"The best feature of AA is the scheduling and the triggering..."
"The flexibility of Automation Anywhere's truly universal orchestration in integrating with different systems and models has been great for us because we are new to the mission tools and had our data scattered in Salesforce and Oracle Analytics, yet Automation Anywhere has smooth integration with those apps and about ninety percent of our apps are supported, integrating particularly well with Salesforce where our client data and service requests are managed."
"What I appreciate most about Automation Anywhere is its user interface, which is very friendly and simple when compared to UiPath and Power Automate, featuring drag-and-drop capabilities, control rooms for both cloud and on-premises, and the ability for business users to run bots with just half an hour of training."
"The deployment is very easy."
"The support from Microsoft is good and we also have local support on the ground in Nigeria."
"Improved time management, all the details logged (nothing missed), roles and responsibilities in tool are set according to policy/procedure."
"System Center Service Manager is a good product, and it is very easy to use."
"The call logging is the solution's most valuable feature; it's very easy to use and isn't too resource-intensive."
"The solution offers good productivity at a low price point."
"Many more features than other comparable products."
"It is a simple solution that is easy to configure."
"The remote access is one of the features I really enjoy. The pushing of email updates and things like that are very good."
"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

"There is room for improvement when this application is used in a Citrix-based environment."
"We would like a better coding interface for developers. We would also like to have a user interface which reduces the time to learn the product so more people in the organization can use software, like Automation Anywhere, quickly automating processes."
"In order to score nine or ten, they still need to provide more flexibility and integration with other tools and options."
"Moving away from client-server architecture to web-based deployment compromised developer experience of app reliability offered by 11.3.X flavors. Desktop app experience >>> Web experience, developers are not pleased."
"I am looking forward to seeing writing on Linux in the web and WorkBatch in the next release."
"Excel functionalities, the macro interface can be improved in the next release of RPA platform Automation Anywhere."
"Automation Anywhere could improve by incorporating better integration with DevOps."
"The Automation Anywhere Control room component features can be improved, as of now it contains too many roles and rules which makes it confusing to use it."
"Better integration with other services in Azure is needed because everything is moving from on-premises to the cloud, and as an integrator, we have to help our clients with the migration."
"They need to improve their support. When you cannot support the company that has your solution people will start to jump to another company that has a similar solution where somebody can support them if they have a problem."
"One of the disadvantages in this product is that the reporting module is not very easy. It requires SQL development skills, which not all customers or IT professionals have."
"It would be better if they had a portal for administrators. It would help me use it from anywhere and connect to any device from anywhere. I can administer the solution without a VPN."
"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."
"Although some engineers at Microsoft are good, the support often lacks expertise, and response times are slow."
"There are a few bugs."
"We have had some issues with the SCSM on-premise deployment version in the imaging aspects."
"Yes. Major system issues and outages during our implementation."
"It needs better integration with other tools like Jira."
"It's a very cost-effective solution, but it's not robust."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"It is fantastic. It has been great. It is perfectly priced for the quality received. When paying for quality, that is exactly what you get."
"It's fine. However, I'm concerned with the credits in terms of the pricing for the AI models. It is understandable that the new ones are more expensive, but the base models, after doing the pricing conversion, cost about four to ten times as much as paying directly."
"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."
"We are restricted to use one license on one PC. However, if my license is not working, I want to be able to use it somewhere else. This would be a nice improvement to the licensing, as other competitors in the market have better licensing terms."
"It is one of the most affordable RPA solutions, and as for licensing, they offer a community edition that greatly helps anyone who aspires to learn about the product before buying the enterprise solution."
"Our annual licensing costs are about $500,000."
"Our annual licensing costs for the entire company are $100,000."
"The licensing cost of Automation Anywhere is better than UiPath and Blue Prism."
"It comes free with the enterprise agreement that we have, but the expense really is in having to buy another product to sit on top of it to make it work properly. You wind up having to buy additional support and additional product with their own support and maintenance costs on top of that."
"The price of the solution could be better. My organization has an enterprise annual license with Microsoft which provides us support."
"The license for SCSM is cheap."
"It is a lower price vs. other things on the market."
"The platform is competitively priced."
"Licensing can be complex and confusing."
"It is an expensive solution."
"The price should be lower."
"The price is approximately $70 per agent, per month."
