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

"MetaBots are useful when connecting to websites or to forms with objects that need to be captured."

"By automating those processes we achieved high ROI, great customer satisfaction, better STP, reduced manual work, reduced processing time, high accuracy, and 24/7 working capacity with the AA bots."

"I like the new GenAI and Automation Co-Pilot, which is something like attended automation."

"The ability to create automation itself is a benefit that reduces human error and enhances efficiency. Technical support is unsurpassed."

"I think that one of the coolest features that what Automation Anywhere has come up with is AI Sense. I see an immense potential there. Using AI Sense, we can automate outside Citrix. That's going to remove the client dependency or overall automation journey, and that can give lot of optimization, cost saving, and the time to market."

"We had some business users who created their first bot four weeks back, and they were thrilled; it was very easy for them because of the drag and drag, and they understood the process very well."

"Automation Anywhere has improved my company significantly; earlier we were dependent on the client installed on local machines, but now it is completely web-based, so we don't have to worry about having a dedicated VM."

"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."

More Automation Anywhere pros

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

"The product’s UI is very good."

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

"This is the most complete and versatile enterprise task management product and issue tracker."

"One of the best features is that I can share tickets with team members, at which point any team member is able to pick one up and work on it."

"I think one of the most valuable things is that it's all integrated, because between the Wiki and the product itself, whenever someone is typing in an error, it automatically pops up a solution."

"I'm mainly working in the ITSM module of JIRA Service Management, and the integration between the system incident and how you can link all the records to the change makes it quite powerful."

"The customer portal with connection with our knowledge base has been most valuable."

"JIRA Service Management is much better than the normal JIRA software that we had, as it is much more controlled and allows for different kinds of customization that we can plan and implement based on the project requirements."

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

"The solution is scalable; we have currently deployed it to about 35 agents and it will be deployed to around 1200 customers, all of them dealing with creating and resolving tickets."

More JIRA Service Management pros

Cons

"There is room for improvement in terms of costs and procurement considerations."

"While exporting a package, an option to de-select all the depending/referenced files should be available. Currently, it only allows for selecting all the files. Also, the views should be re-sizable as they are currently a fixed width. This would enable to view long file names easily eliminating any chances of exporting the wrong file."

"I would like for AA to add an inbuilt debug log that has functionalities to view the values of variables during run time in order to have a point-to-point debugging in case of an error."

"On the cognitive side, some of their competitors, when we were originally shopping, were a little more advanced in that space. Making use of probabilistic outcomes and presenting them to a business user is a feature that, at the time of our evaluation, did not feel like a strong, mature solution for Automation Anywhere. Nevertheless, they won our business. That is one feature where I feel they are trying to make investments to address those gaps."

"One key feature we are looking for from Automation Anywhere is the need for a fully evolved CI/CD pipeline approach within our IT organization, given that we manage multiple applications."

"For our legacy systems, we are finding it very difficult to use the automation."

"The initial setup is difficult because Automation Anywhere does not have a GitHub integration. They need to build a patch for that."

"Certain areas of the user interface require improvement."

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."

"Jira has different modules that can develop workflow for demand management and project management, but the solution is no out of the box and would require lots of customization."

"The product does not have the capability to sort queued tickets by product. This would be useful in making workflows more efficient."

"The product is supposed to include an interface where the customer can report issues, things they cannot resolve easily. It's not there at the moment so it's more difficult to resolve issues with the OEMs."

"The licensing model could be improved."

"As a consultant, I have used the support. Some of the support I have received has been good and other times it could improve."

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

"The performance in cloud service management could be improved."

"There should be some AI integrations now as AI is in the picture."

More JIRA Service Management cons

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Talk to your manager and try to procure an automation license for training. This will allow you to train people, so you can move to automation."

"If it is saving FTE and Generating a good ROI then it is Worth Investing."

"We have saved customers 400% in terms of time saved by implementing this product."

"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."

"Our annual licensing costs for the entire company are $100,000."

"Price is where I'm least satisfied. Other vendors are more willing to offer discounts."

"Regarding the price, licensing, and maintenance, Automation Anywhere provides its customers with its best and affordable value."

"It's fine. However, I'm concerned with the credits in terms of the pricing for the AI models. It is understandable that the new ones are more expensive, but the base models, after doing the pricing conversion, cost about four to ten times as much as paying directly."

More Automation Anywhere pricing and cost advice

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

"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 price of JIRA Service Management could be reduced."

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

"I price of JIRA Service Management is reasonable."

"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."

"On a scale of one to five, with one being really high and five being good, I would rate the price of this solution as a four."

"The price for JIRA Service Management is reasonable and cheaper than other ITSM solutions, but the licensing model is different, so you cannot compare it with other solutions. Overall, the pricing for the solution is acceptable."

"We need a license because we have a higher number than the free part."

"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."
