Nadeem K. - PeerSpot reviewer
Rpa Developer at a consultancy with 11-50 employees
Automation has freed teams from repetitive finance and supply tasks and supports global operations
In the current organization, we had trouble initially because I think the documentation and support could be better than what it is now. This is one difference between Automation Anywhere and other RPA tools such as UiPath. In UiPath, if you have an issue, you go to the UiPath website and search for it, and you get lots of help materials. In Automation Anywhere, you do not get exactly what you are looking for. You get a very large number of results when you search for something, and from this large result set, you have to filter out what you need, or only partial information will be available. User handbooks are available for each product. In that regard, I would say Automation Anywhere is lagging compared to other RPA tools. It is difficult to get hold of their customer support team. I want to clarify that it is not a matter of us building logic on Automation Anywhere and it failing. When it is a product-related issue, they have to give us support because we only know how to develop within Automation Anywhere. We do not know how to fix Automation Anywhere itself. Whenever we have an issue, trying to get in touch with them always takes three to four business days.
Hemanthreddy Vakiti - PeerSpot reviewer
Data Engineer at a tech vendor with 10,001+ employees
Structured workflows have improved SLA compliance and now support prioritized incident handling
I think the licensing and pricing of ServiceNow is quite expensive compared to other tools. For large organizations, it is acceptable, but specifically for small and medium organizations to track incidents or change requests, ServiceNow is quite expensive. Sometimes performance can be slow when workflows and integrations are configured for complex tasks. For advanced customizations or advanced features which we rarely use, the documentation is not up to standard. The documentation needs to be improved for advanced customization features. However, the platform is stable overall and the features are quite good. The user experience and performance concerns I mentioned are areas I want to be improved. When many workflows and interactions are configured, performance is slow. For the features it is providing, it is quite expensive. If these performance features are improved, we can easily pay that price and get the return on investment.

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

"I like web automation and SAP application automation."
"One good thing in A2019 is that all products of Automation Anywhere, like IQBOT services, Meta Bot Designer, Discovery Bot, and Control room are all together in one product which is very effective for any business team."
"Automation Anywhere is quite easy to use for users who are not technical, especially business users."
"Efficiency is something that has increased a lot. Productivity has increased a lot too."
"Unattended use is its most valuable feature."
"I have seen improvements across the board since using Automation Anywhere, and I can definitively say that it has saved us time, reduced errors, and improved team efficiency."
"I have seen a return on investment with Automation Anywhere, as we have achieved a value of 10 million for a single process in one year, helping that team to accelerate more and bring value to the organization."
"We can integration with other APIs, which is a good thing. This helps us with our database integration. For example, we have done an SAP integration, which is great, since SAP has a lot of manual work."
"In 12 years, I've rarely seen a failure of their cloud hosting, if ever."
"We used BMC Remedy, and it was slightly different but we went for ServiceNow because it is more user oriented."
"Consolidating multiple functionalities into a single platform reduces the need to invest in various separate solutions. ServiceNow integrates ITSM, CMDB, Discovery modules, and more into one cohesive system."
"The flow designer for application development is the most valuable."
"Very good incident management, chain management and problem management features."
"The solution has a user-friendly interface."
"It's more about the ease of use of ServiceNow, plus everything is there in a single platform, and if you need any additional functionality, you just need to enable the plugins without even installing anything on the servers."
"ServiceNow is a cloud-based platform, so people won't need to worry about investing on hardware to host it. Being on the cloud, it is available 24x7. It's scalable, stable, and multifeatured, with a straightforward setup and good technical support."
"It is more flexible than our current solution."
"Absolutely, we have seen a return on our investment."
"The two most valuable features are the portal and reporting."
 

Cons

"The scripting can be a bit difficult."
"Not all data is good quality. This presents a challenge for automation, which is important."
"We would like to see more options for merging and un-merging PDFs. More flexibility there would be good. We've figured out ways around this and, using their software, we've been able to do everything we wanted to do. It just took a bit more time to do it. We were on version 10.5 and in their Bot Store they actually had a bot that did exactly what we wanted to do, but it was for Version 11.0."
"One of the things that the product should have is to add more advanced level developer capabilities into the platform. I know it is easy for business, non-technical people. However, for the developers, there should be some more features within the product so they can build advanced level use cases much faster."
"I would like it to have AI and ML capabilities."
"Currently, while working on the SAP part, I encounter some challenges, particularly not being able to extract the tree structure."
"The stability of this solution depends on the processes, but I think that there is room for improvement in this regard."
"We have in-house, a few variables, which we use from technical perspectives. We don't have them in Automation Anywhere, but they introduced them yesterday."
"The visual representation of the data is an area where they fall short of, but they do have a partner who is native to their product that does a much better job visualizing the data."
"When it comes to reference fields, there are some limitations where you aren't able to use them, like in relationship queries. In Remedy, when you click a menu, you get options directly, whereas here, if you use a reference field, it points you to a different form. So the UI experience totally changes for the end user."
"Knowledgeable - it's kind of questionable because the problem they are also facing is expanding leaps and bounds."
"I have found the solution very expensive."
"Lots of customizations can lead to breaking the system when moving to another release. This should be managed better by ServiceNow."
"It's a very complex tool with a lot of different pieces and it takes a lot of different people to support it because everyone has to be specialized in their own piece."
"We did some custom branding and it was a nightmare."
"Like all other IaaS, PaaS, and SaaS subscription cloud providers, ServiceNow is constantly improving by building new capabilities to expand the breadth and depth of its offerings while increasing its activities with partners to build more capabilities."
"It's a very cost-effective solution, but it's not robust."
"Yes. Major system issues and outages during our implementation."
"It needs better integration with other tools like Jira."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The cost can be reduced a little for users."
"Automation Anywhere University is pretty good. They make it available free for everyone."
"The cost is anywhere between $10,000 and $100,000."
"With the rebate processing automation that we did, it has provided us a savings of around an hour or two a person on a daily basis, which is quite a lot of savings."
"The pricing that we received from Automation Anywhere in the beginning was very economical for us. We've seen a lot of benefit from what we spent to what we're receiving. From the beginning, it's been a very low-cost implementation for us."
"I think it's $5,500 per license."
"I am not responsible for the pricing part, but I know the pricing is competitive compared to other tools."
"Automation Anywhere is expensive, making it more suitable for enterprise organizations."
"The pricing is on the high side, but if you look at the stability and option to work, it's kind of justified."
"$230 per user."
"For the modules we use, we found it competitive. I can't think of any costs in addition to the licensing fees."
"I know that it's not too bad because people continue to use it and they are happy to renew up their contract."
"It is fairly expensive."
"It is very expensive because it is a big organization. You have to pay for additional things."
"The platform offers a free trial, by providing a free developer instance once you sign up."
"The product cost is higher than that of other vendors."
"The price is approximately $70 per agent, per month."
