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.

Implement service management changes while addressing UI improvements
Topdesk's user interface makes it easy to handle requests and escalate them to other groups or reassign them when working on a single ticket. Additionally, the service management tool in HR allows for a change in delivering services, replacing email communication with ticket raising. The knowledge library enables the local HR to store and share relevant information and frequently asked cases, enhancing collaboration. The ticket system also facilitates escalating cases to other involved departments. IT, HR, and some other teams primarily use this system.

Offers multi-tenancy architecture, both in terms of functionality and reporting, requires minimal configuration and no-code deployment
We're still biased towards our previous, more mature product. 4me still needs to reach that level of maturity. However, for most users, the product will do what they need. It's only when you have mature service management processes and need deeper integrations at the process level that you might encounter some limitations. But for less mature needs, 4me works well.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"RPA implementation will be always fruitful, and return on investment will be always higher than the input costs."
"A process that used to take seven to ten days has now been reduced to half an hour."
"Object cloning is one of the main features that are using. We are very happy with it. as It has enabled us to capture a lot of things on screen and use them."
"Automation Anywhere is a very good tool because it helps you along the process."
"Some processes that have taken 24 hours for our guys to do, now take seven to eight hours for our bots."
"It is very self-explanatory, making it easy for non-technical users to develop."
"There are many features that are valuable including Whatsapp messages, OCR, and image recognization, but I have not tried all of them."
"The features of Automation Anywhere improve my company by making deployment and maintenance of our automations a smoother process overall."
"The most valuable feature of the solution is the ticketing feature."
"As we have moved to an off-premises deployment, we get regular updates."
"The most valuable feature of this solution is the incident management module."
"Technical support is great and we have not had any issues with them."
"The most valuable feature of TOPdesk is the reports."
"TOPdesk is overall very stable."
"Its ITSM approach is quite useful."
"Change management is the most critical feature."
"The multi-tenancy architecture, both in terms of functionality and reporting, is the best feature. It is a really well-thought, designed, and developed part of this product."
"I like their request management as well as their project management."
"When compared to BMC Helix ITSM, the 4me setup is much simpler and less complicated."
"It offers a comprehensive set of features without requiring additional payments for each feature."
"The solution is highly stable."
 

Cons

"I would like to have the ability to schedule bots by whichever one is available."
"When comparing the code under version checks, although there is a change done, it doesn't say so because the change is done at the variable level and not in the line of code."
"A2019 is less stable than the previous versions."
"Automation Anywhere is unable to connect to the database directly. What we are doing now is directly writing the PL/SQL scripts and trying to push the data from the database into Automation Anywhere. This feature is available in UiPath, but not in Automation Anywhere."
"I believe there is room for improvement in Automation Anywhere, particularly in their training programs, which need more development."
"I would like to see more bots available right out-of-the-box in the SAP area. For example, if you take the overall OTC in our organization, we have to contact 15 teams. Even if we provide one big bot for the OTC, it won't work. It will not be used by one person. So if there could be more specific bots out-of-the-box, that would be really helpful."
"I really appreciate the user interface of Automation Anywhere, but I would like to see some improvement on some of the automation around screen processing. This includes adding some artificial intelligence on the way that bots actually can read the screen and know when things change and be able to adapt to those changes."
"Automation Anywhere should improve its OCR command, as it's my observation that I have faced data loss or improper data being extracted."
"The solution should be made more user-friendly."
"The solution's change management could be better."
"This solution is modular so you only buy what you need, but I prefer what some companies are doing where they include everything in the package."
"Change management implementation, facility management, and making reservations on assets can be improved."
"It is time-consuming to add new users."
"In some fields, it's just not good enough."
"All companies have processes that need to be adjusted. When you have a change, you need to name it, and many companies have a set of changes you can use. It would be helpful if there were more space in TOPdesk to name the change or use metadata to record the kinds of changes."
"If I open a ticket on the infrastructure team, I can't move it to the financial team for them to manage the ticket."
"Asset Discovery is a feature that should be added."
"We're still biased towards our previous, more mature product. 4me still needs to reach that level of maturity."
"We would like to be able to customize and brand the solution, or at least the majority of its features and dashboards, particularly those that will be used by a large number of people."
"One area where I believe there's room for improvement in the 4me system is the absence of an asset discovery tool."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The pricing model can be a bit more flexible."
"The certifications are free of cost."
"In terms of pricing, this is a good product."
"It's justified because we have saved quite a bit of money at the company and many manual hours. Overall, it justifies the cost."
"The pricing is a bit higher."
"If we talk about the automation RPA. it definitely has worked very well for us. I'm talking about giving good savings, about more than 180 FTE savings, after implementing more than 200 plus bots. It has worked well. As an organization, it has supported us very well, and also for our customers."
"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."
"If it is saving FTE and Generating a good ROI then it is Worth Investing."
"There are three fee options to choose from for a company and these options compared to market prices are very high. For example, if I use one of the first options for 10 assets, then it costs 20,000 Euros. If you went to competitors, then you pay less."
"The solution's pricing is reasonable and not expensive."
"TOPdesk's pricing is cheaper than Jira's."
"The cost of the solution on a yearly basis is $20,000. Technical support is not extra. It's included in the yearly cost. Updates are also included. The solution is good at keeping its product up to date."
"Compared to other products in this segment, I think that they are priced well and not too expensive."
"The solution is inexpensive compared to competitors."
"It is the most affordable because it is priced per month per user."
"The pricing is expensive."
"The licensing costs on the website are about $60 for pay-as-you-go. And then it decreases based on volume discounts or something."
"This pricing falls on the lower end of the spectrum, making it a cost-effective option."
