Automation Anywhere

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

"Without thinking twice, I would recommend going for Automation Anywhere."

"Automation Anywhere helped me achieve my automation goals as it reduced turnaround time, cost, human intervention, and increased overall satisfaction levels for our customers."

"The robust and flexible nature of the product gives it the capability to automate almost all rule-based processes in each and every ERP application that is currently available in the market."

"With this innovative tool's automation, it is very dynamic, easy to develop, and deliver results quickly."

"It is a good tool and one of the market leaders."

"It removes demotivating, repetitive work from our teams."

"ROI is good and impressive after using automation anywhere RPA platform."

"The Control Room for the bots and its ability to connect bots with APIs are the most valuable features."

More Automation Anywhere pros

"The product’s UI is very good."

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

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

"The tool is scalable."

"JSM's pricing is one of the best, starting at around $10 per user, per month, with volume discounts available."

"The most valuable features are the flexibility of defining your own workflows and automation around the workflows, and the integration with the gate or any repository."

"I find the Kanban chart where we put each story in to be the most valuable feature. We use the Kanban chart to revise the project every morning in our five-minute meeting."

"Jira gets the basics right in terms of the product backlog and a scrum board teams can use to manage sprint backlogs."

"If you are a software development company you need to use JIRA because it aligns with project management."

"The automation feature in JIRA Service Management is beneficial, and that's yet to be available in ServiceNow. ServiceNow doesn't have the flexibility to automate processes."

"Atlassian Customer service is some of the best I have experienced."

More JIRA Service Management pros

Cons

"There should be more organized training sessions. I prefer interactive classes to one-on-one training. You can create super users and organize conferences or workshops where users can learn from experts. Maybe you only have a few of these super users in your organization, so that's why you need to have workshops on a weekly basis."

"This solution could be more stable because sometimes I see some bugs."

"As a developer, the biggest con is the lag; it's pretty inconvenient to face that delay in things happening."

"Productivity increased when we implemented Automation Anywhere, but it did not meet the client's expectations regarding the number of human workers it replaced."

"Sometimes, the ESX services will stop. We are working with IT to resolve this, as it's not our fault. Automation Anywhere is stopping the service, and during that time, the bot will be stopped. Right now, we are logging into the client machine and restarting/rebooting them, then restarting the services. As some of our processes run at night, we won't know that the service is down since our processes run 24/7. This issue is then escalated to the manager. This is the current challenge that we are facing, and we would like them to improve this."

"Getting the bot design into the developer's hands is taking longer than we initially anticipated."

"Automation Anywhere can be improved in certain areas specified in the cognitive zone where the information needs better OCR Engine + Machine Learning capabilities."

"Automation Anywhere is a tool. It is not able to go ahead and extract the hand-written documents. Most of the automation tools that we have in the market are not able to get an accuracy of close to 80 to 90 percent on hand-written documents. So, I'm eagerly looking at a release from Automation Anywhere, wherein they could plug in an LP or look at some sort of a platform which could convert hand-written documents into a readable format. If they could bring in they own platform, this would make a big in-roads for the entire automation industry."

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."

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

"In general, JIRA has no relation to customers or financials. Therefore, marketplace add-ons are needed to make it work for customer-facing systems."

"Include a split configuration in a layer part to allow cloud services to have almost full admin rights in SaaS."

"JIRA Service Management should make reporting easier. I would like something integrated with DevOps tools."

"Field addition and removal features are not very intuitive in JIRA Service Management."

"It was complex for us because we had to migrate data from HPSM. We required a consultant to be involved, and even the consultant struggled for some time."

"From the customer side, it's not friendly used compared to other competitors, like ServiceNow or BMC."

"Every time there's a problem with JIRA Service Management, you have to have a look at how to solve it, and there's always a feature request or the feature request on the solution is too large and the development cycles are too slow."

More JIRA Service Management cons

Pricing and Cost Advice

"They are already coming out with a community license, which is really good. That's something that I wish to have."

"They're very flexible around pricing and licensing."

"We would like to use Citrix going forward. We use Bot Runners to scale up, and it gets to be expensive. Using Citrix, it can mitigate costs."

"The cost is affordable, which makes an easy barrier to entry for the RPA market."

"Their overall pricing falls in the middle of the market. Cost-wise, Automation Anywhere is quite expensive because of their analytics, IQ Bots, and MetaBots. For a standalone machine, the pricing is okay. When adding in the licensing for IQ Bots (or MetaBots), it can become quite costly."

"I would rate the cost of Automation Anywhere as a six out of ten, with ten being the most expensive."

"The pricing is a bit higher."

"Based on what I've heard, it's costly, but I don't know much about its pricing."

More Automation Anywhere pricing and cost advice

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

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

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

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

"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."

"Licensing can become quite expensive."

"JIRA Service Management's pricing is pretty decent compared to competitors. I rate the pricing an eight to nine on a scale of one to ten."

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

"The pricing is very competitive and I think that it is okay."

"Buying a software solution is only a half part of the solution (or even less). You need to optimize usage of the software by hiring professionals who will help you to make the most of the software, especially in the beginning."

"I would suggest to always buy licenses through an Atlassian partner, so you can also rely on their expertise."
