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.

Sudden access suspension has disrupted compliance work and raises serious trust concerns
Scytale unilaterally suspended access because in their opinion, I don't know why they did that. I'm assuming they think that we're competitive, which we're not. They sold us the system and sent a contract to us in full knowledge of what we do as a business. Compliance is a very broad word; we provide compliance into nonprofits, housing associations, markets that these guys do not serve. Somebody inside Scytale likely thought, "Oh my God, these guys must be competitive, so let's just cut them off." I'm assuming that's what happened, but there was no explanation, nothing. Scytale did not help me streamline my compliance processes. It didn't really identify gaps. There was no gap analysis in there that we could see. I didn't really get that far to use the effectiveness of Scytale's real-time insights in identifying potential compliance issues. All my experiences with Scytale have been negative. We haven't used the automated evidence collection of Scytale. Scytale has not helped me allocate resources more efficiently for compliance; it's been the opposite experience. We have put six months of effort into looking at the controls on 27001, talking about auditors, getting audit-ready, and so forth. But we've invested significant time, which has now been a complete waste of time. Scytale is not only unreliable, considering they can suspend access without any notice or formal reason, but this lack of stability results in serious concerns about their dependability as a partner. If they can do that without explanation, my fear is that even if they switch it on again, who's to know in three months' time that the same thing couldn't happen again?

Vendor risk monitoring has strengthened our security posture and reduced insurance costs
In terms of improvements, I feel SecurityScorecard could enhance some of the integrations based on AI platforms, where I could receive suggestions from the AI tool regarding why SecurityScorecard rates specific issues as critical or high. Details on the technical mitigation would help my non-technical teams understand the security issues better. I think improvements could be made on the reporting side as well, such as the ability to download customizable reports. While SecurityScorecard offers various kinds of reports now, they are limited to predefined formats. Having the ability to choose specific fields for an automated report would be very helpful.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The drag-and-drop feature is valuable."
"The best part about Automation Anywhere is the easy to use UI. It's very user-friendly. You have everything that you want in front of your eyes. You just have to drag and drop, then build your logic accordingly."
"The ability to find objects easily through the 'Capture' option saves your time most significantly."
"With automation, you can reduce that effort to half an hour or an hour, so it will improve your efficiency and save you a lot of time, so you can improve your time in other work."
"The most valuable feature is the SAP application and the DLLs that Automation Anywhere provides. These DLLs help automate the SAP application."
"The character extraction capability of IQ Bot is much, much better than the other OCR (Optical Character Recognition) engines that you have in the market today."
"Automation Anywhere provides the best application to use for RPA and other automation requirements. It's very easy to use and easy to understand. It's UI(user interface) which is so friendly and easily understand by the user, it is very easy to install automation anywhere product simply click on next to install, it is easy to develop bot and no coding knowledge is required to develop"
"I'd say there are new useful features that will definitely help us as we do more development in the near future."
"The processes I participated in during the setup of Scytale were straightforward; it was acceptable and fine."
"SecurityScorecard helps us identify potential vulnerabilities early, reduce third-party risk, and make more informed security decisions without relying only on questionnaires or self-reporting information."
"SecurityScorecard continuously scans just about every IP address out there, which means there is information available about virtually every company."
"The best features SecurityScorecard offers for me are mainly being able to properly position my organization's security posture because of the score that is provided."
"With its automated approach, nothing is missed on the IPs your organization is related to."
"I rate the product's initial setup phase a nine on a scale of one to ten, where one is a difficult setup phase, and ten is an easy setup process."
"With SecurityScorecard, the most valuable feature is the ability to identify if third parties or vendors have digital threats that may impact our company. It also scans all internal domains and IPs to find vulnerabilities in the digital landscape. The continuous monitoring capabilities have been beneficial by providing ongoing assessments of potential risks."
"The biggest benefit is visibility, allowing organizations to understand their risks, vulnerabilities, and potential threats."
"The initial setup takes just a couple of days and doesn't require any installation."
 

Cons

"We could use more accuracy with IQ Bot."
"I have found that Automation Anywhere is prone to bugs in handling Excel. It breaks and gives vague error messages. I have had a lot of experience with that and learned that it is better to write a Python script instead of using Automation Anywhere's package when dealing with Excel because it is buggy and tends to break, unfortunately."
"In a cost-sensitive industry like banking, where automation needs to prove clear ROI, a more flexible pricing structure would assist organizations in expanding automation more aggressively without feeling constrained by budget considerations."
"Version 11 is a bit heavy. At times, it takes a toll on the computing resources. It consumes a lot for computing power. We have seen multiple instances where computers or the client has crashed because of this particular problem. Automation Anywhere can improve this a lot."
"Autosuggestion of existing use cases based on the problem statement could use improvement."
"One aspect I wish to mention regarding needed improvements is that Automation Anywhere currently works only on Windows systems."
"Automation Anywhere can improve the product in potential areas of improvement with respect to automation and AI."
"The mobile application can be improved by adding more functions and capabilities because right now, only a few features are enabled for mobile users."
"Scytale is not reliable at all; not stable. You would be unwise to put a mission-critical function like ISO 27001 on Scytale."
"SecurityScorecard's technical team's response time is an area that my company expects to be made faster."
"I realized that because my company was acquired by a bigger organization, SecurityScorecard started associating other portfolio company vulnerabilities to our score, which was not helpful because it was giving us wrong data and giving us vulnerabilities we did not have."
"The product can be improved by incorporating more data points and intelligence around dark web information and threat data."
"They could improve the process with a questionnaire module for the product."
"SecurityScorecard can be complex during setup, and I would recommend that anyone implementing it get help setting it up because it is not as straightforward as people might think."
"I suggest that SecurityScorecard could be improved by giving a little more specifics on how the scanning works and how you are able to detect those IPs, including more details on the privacy side about how the scanner operates and how it is sometimes allowed to do those scans."
"SecurityScorecard can be improved. As it currently stands, it does a good job monitoring public-facing devices and the internet and DNS."
"There are areas for improvement in response times and overall support."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The licensing fees are approximately $10,000 USD for between five and ten users."
"We save 34,000 hours of time per year and have recouped up to $6000 in lost revenue."
"It is not cheap, with costs ranging between 700 to 800 dollars per month. While Power Automate is cheaper at 15 dollars per month, Automation Anywhere offers superior features, user-friendliness, and smoothness."
"Our company is investing a lot of money in Automation Anywhere. They have saved money wherever humans are working. They invest a lot of money in FTEs and other logistics, so the money saving is very pretty good with Automation Anywhere. While I don't know the exact figure, the tool is saving us millions of dollars as well as saving about 40,000 hours in the last year."
"The licensing needs to be made simpler or shortened."
"It is subscription-based. They have different schemes. The price depends on how you negotiate with the local partner or local representative in your country."
"Its cost is good."
"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."
Information not available
"The pricing could be split into a lower-paid tier for smaller organizations and another higher tier for others with a more security-focused outlook. $1000 per month is more than some companies pay for their internet connections in total. UPDATE: they have a new 400$ a month tier for starters."
"The pricing of SecurityScorecard is fair. I would rate it a seven. It's a bit more on the expensive side. In Brazil, for example, making a payment to the vendor involves wire transfers and high taxes, making it more expensive. Selling SecurityScorecard or any American vendor's product in the United States is very different from selling in South America or Brazil."
"Even though it's competitive, they offer flexible pricing structures."
