Featured Reviews

Venkat Sivaprakash

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.

An affordable and scalable solution that provides an excellent UI and many out-of-the-box integration capabilities

The product’s UI is very good. The tool’s performance is very good. The overall performance of the tool and the navigation is fast. It is very responsive. It has a lot of out-of-the-box integration capabilities with some of the common tools that we want to integrate. If something is not available out of the box, creating or configuring a new integration on HaloITSM is easier compared to other tools.

Comprehensive workflows and data views have supported complex teams but still need cost improvements

JIRA Service Management is costly. The pricing structure needs improvement. When I add some plugins, I have to pay the cost for every user whether they are using it or not. For smaller companies, the detailed workflow editing and the kind of details that JIRA Service Management provides would be complex. For startups and smaller companies, JIRA Service Management would be complex. The cloud offering is easier because I don't have to manage the infrastructure. There are two templates of the project: company-managed and team-managed. Team-managed is a newer feature, which is good for startup-kind companies where they don't need control over data from multiple projects displaying in one dashboard. For startups, JIRA Service Management is somewhat complex with its schemes and everything. Capacity management should be improved in terms of additional features in the next release of JIRA Service Management.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"Using this solution has brought a lot of return on investment in terms of saving hours or FTEs, and we are utilizing them in more constructive areas."

"It is easy to understand how to use the tool. For a developer, it is very easy to understand the opportunities and how to use and learn these features. It is very business-oriented."

"When I compare it with other RPA tools, Automation Anywhere seems pretty good. It's a user-friendly tool. Anyone can easily understand it. If there is an error, you can easily debug it from the developer level. In Automation Anywhere, the error handling happens in the easiest way. In case of an error, we send an email. It's not too difficult code to understand. There's only beginning and ending error handling, which is easy to understand."

"AA has helped to automate a complex Audit process, saving auditors from doing the mundane manual task of logging into multiple applications independently while the bot securely manages credentials, collects screenshots, builds PDFs, and reports results."

"Automation Anywhere has lots of features, some of them are accuracy increases, time consumption reduced, scalability. Automation Anywhere does not require a strong knowledge of programming languages. The dashboard is user-friendly."

"Automation Anywhere and even previous versions, which I've worked on, have good core functionality. The core functionality of being able to automate and build a solution that is local and low code is one of the key differentiators that's allowed us to find success."

"Automation Anywhere is stable."

"We had an old ERP which required human interactions because of the lack of a system, and what we did is have the robotics read an invoice and plug it directly into our ERP, avoiding the extra steps, saving about an hour-and-a-half a day and 20 percent of an FTE."

More Automation Anywhere pros

"The solution's initial setup process was quite straightforward... I rate the technical support a nine and a half out of ten."

"The product’s UI is very good."

"The most valuable aspect is that is is codeless."

"For anyone considering JIRA Service Management, I would advise that it is an excellent project management tool suitable for product management across small to large scales."

"I think the general consensus is that Service Management is a good organizational and solid product."

"I think that one of the most valuable features is when I am typing in my question for a ticket JIRA does a search for the answer at the same time."

"It scales well."

"JIRA helps integrate Kanban Board features and for this reason what it does it does well."

"Auditing team uses this solution to track audit findings and follow-up."

"JIRA Service Management is user-friendly and can help you achieve what you want to achieve."

"A good organizational tool."

More JIRA Service Management pros

Cons

"As a developer, I would like to have copy commands available from one bot to another."

"I would like to see improvement in its scalability."

"You could improve the tools for reading CSV/Excel, also providing wizards or detailed guides, otherwise, it is quite complex to use them, especially at the beginning."

"Product support for our customers needs improvement. They should increase the support personnel."

"There have been problems with scalability. It comes down to how we handle the code."

"Instead of depending on other open-source BPM products, AA should provide their own BPM for attended automations."

"For assisted automation, the AA bot needs the facility to be triggered through an application interface after collecting input from the user."

"They need to improve the speed. It runs too slowly."

More Automation Anywhere cons

"There are no improvements needed. There is very little that HALO has not already built that is not on its roadmap."

"The product does not have its own orchestration engine."

"The solution's integration part needs to improve...In the future release of the solution, I expect to see certain changes in the programming of the solution. A customer of the solution should be able to customize it as per their need."

"You can use different plug-ins for JIRA Service Desk to add some functionality, but these plug-ins are very expensive."

"I'd like to update the dashboard so that more features are available."

"The solution needs to be integrated better with Office X5."

"The customizations in Jira could be improved by being simplified. They are currently very complex."

"Cost has prohibited us from switching entirely to this solution."

"I would like to see the user interface changed, it is not very user-friendly, and it transitions workflows."

"What is lacking is the communication around these changes because we come across them almost by chance, and not because of any notification we've received."

"We have a lot of add-ons, however, instead of the add-ons, for example, cloning could be better."

More JIRA Service Management cons

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The cost of this solution is a little bit high, but it is worth the price."

"No one is balking at the cost. They are market rates and will change, but no one is saying, "That is ridiculous or impossible." They are saying, "Show me the ROI and prove that the cost is accurate.""

"This is a comprehensive automation offering with a scalable architecture and flexible pricing models."

"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."

"We were paying approximately $30,000 for a year license."

"If you are looking into Automation Anywhere, get the Community Edition and play with it."

"On a yearly basis, our licensing costs are about $80,000. There are no additional costs beyond the standard licensing fees."

"There is an annual license to use the solution."

More Automation Anywhere pricing and cost advice

"It's $69 per user per month. Only administrators need a license, and there is no limit to the number of endpoints."

"The solution's pricing model is good. Also, they still follow the old concurrent licensing method."

"The product’s pricing is competitive and less complicated."

"The cost has recently increased. It might be around $20 to $25 per user license."

"We have an annual license with JIRA Service Management, but it is billed monthly."

"We may upgrade the license that we have. The license that we currently have is good for 500 agents, and it's not full yet."

"The license we use is on a yearly basis. As a Solution Partner, we were using the free one and were using the free plugins. We were also giving our own plugins to the Atlassian Solution Partners for free. We don't pay anything to Atlassian."

"It costs around $150 to $200 per user."

"The price of JIRA Service Management could be reduced."

"It is a cheaply priced product."

"Actually in Iran we don't have copyright or intellectual property, so we can use JIRA for free."
