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.

Customizable, easy to manage using a single dashboard, but the features in my version are quite basic

Infraon Desk is very flexible in nature and can be customized for my needs. The fact that I can customize it the way I want is the best part of the tool for me. The customization took longer than I expected to complete, although it may be the team that I was interacting with. They might not have had enough manpower in place. If enough resources are available then the customization is easy. All of the information that I need for monitoring the entire platform is available on a single dashboard. This is very helpful with respect to managing. The multi-channel ticketing options that this solution provides are very important to us because it's all about how we engage with our customers and what options we offer for them to communicate with us. Nowadays, there are many collaborative platforms and many methods for ticket logging. Every system of this type should be flexible enough to provide a mobile app, at least for Android and iOS, and not be confined to using Windows alone. Similarly, self-service portals as well as integration with Slack, as this product has, are important options that many people use.

Automation has transformed daily request handling and now tracks every customer interaction

ManageEngine ServiceDesk Plus helps my team manage and resolve requests compared to previous methods as we previously managed things through paperwork and diaries. After deploying ManageEngine ServiceDesk Plus, whenever any customer request comes, we provide the customer a product demo if they ask about the products. We then convert that request to a lead, which is converted to a demo, and then to the product POC, allowing us to follow up every stage of the requests. Everything can be tracked from ManageEngine ServiceDesk Plus, whether at the closing stage or the initial stage. I use ManageEngine ServiceDesk Plus daily in a unique way because previously everyone managed their own tracking system through their diary, but now everyone inputs data into this solution so that at the end of the day, we can get reports on how many leads we have taken care of and when they need to be taken care of. This information is visible from the ServiceDesk tool, and using the dashboard, we can easily identify it, providing an at-a-glance view. The best features ManageEngine ServiceDesk Plus offers for my team include automating manual tasks, which allows whatever tasks we previously did manually to be converted into automatic tasks. Currently, they have also introduced Zia, a very helpful solution for us. Using Zia, we can search for anything, not only inside the tool but also outside, integrating it with ChatGPT and Teams, and it can integrate with other ManageEngine solutions as well as solutions such as Jira and ServiceNow. When we integrate our network monitoring solutions with ManageEngine ServiceDesk Plus, it automatically raises an incident ticket and assigns it to the right team whenever any incident has occurred, which saves us time and reduces manual tasks. Previously, we had to communicate to the right people through mail or phone calls after an incident, but now the incidents are automatically converted and assigned to the relevant support groups along with the SLA. The integration with Teams allows us to raise tickets without logging into the portal, and we can see the ticket status and add comments through Teams, which is very helpful. Additionally, mail integration can automatically convert emails into tickets, adding further efficiency. ManageEngine ServiceDesk Plus has positively impacted our organization, particularly in customer satisfaction. Previously, customers managed service requests, incidents, changes, and problems manually, but after integration, most of these processes are automated. This includes change requests that now follow a workflow based on organizational needs and ITIL best practices, making tracking incidents and requests much easier for end customers through scheduled reports.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"While RPA is the cutting-edge technology to bring digital transformation, the RPA as a service will reduce costs and increase efficiency with ease of deployment, less maintenance, and cheaper upgrade costs."

"Automation Anywhere has helped my customers save time and costs, especially in card settlements, where a task that used to take about fourteen days to refund the user now takes the next day or at the same time using Robotic Process Automation."

"We have a bot running on a computer that is doing manual tasks that we used to do."

"If we talk about the automation RPA, it definitely has worked very well for us, giving good savings of more than 180 FTEs after implementing more than 200 plus bots."

"Instead of packages like other RPA tools, I think the repo check-in and check-out feature enables the same in AA."

"I have enjoyed using all the features of this tool, not just one feature, e.g., object cloning, Excel automation, and the web recorder."

"One of the most valuable features is object cloning, the ability to get into websites and do things faster."

"The primary use case is automation of processes for people services, such as data management of the employees, and financial processes, like reporting, financial reporting, and month-end closing activities."

More Automation Anywhere pros

"Infraon Desk is very flexible in nature and can be customized for my needs. The fact that I can customize it the way I want is the best part of the tool for me."

"There are a few dashboards and they are helpful because, in our organization, we have different groups of people who need different kinds of dashboards... as head of network operations, I need a top-level view. I want to see how many calls are open and how many calls are pending, on average, and some trend analysis. Whereas a manager in my team might like to see slightly more detail."

"It is meeting our requirements and we are very happy and satisfied with the services of Infraon Desk."

"Infraon Desk was the best choice for my budget, considering the features and customization that I wanted."

"SD+ is definitely a good and flexible ServiceDesk tool which can even be broadly used in larger organizations."

"When somebody wants to follow up with a problem from the past, the solution makes it easy. It keeps everything in one system and updated."

"When comparing ManageEngine ServiceDesk Plus to other solutions it is much easier to operate, manage, create users, and design incident tickets, and overall, everything is very easy."

"The automation features in ManageEngine ServiceDesk Plus are what I like the most, particularly the business rules and customization capabilities."

"What I found most valuable in ManageEngine ServiceDesk Plus is its ticketing function plus change management, which helps us monitor all service requests within the team and even extend the requests to level two support."

"Its interface is most valuable; it is easy to use, and our customers find it amazing because of that."

"I believe it is one of those tools that provide excellent value for money."

"The ManageEngine ServiceDesk Plus SaaS model helped us because it was easy on our pockets but also easy to use, configure, and manage."

More ManageEngine ServiceDesk Plus pros

Cons

"Understanding what we wanted to do the tool after setup, that was complex."

"There are a lot of things that need to be improved, especially related to the Control Room, but you can develop and scale with this tool very, very fast."

"The installation piece was sort of complicated because we are new to the business. We are new to installing Automation Anywhere services and the services that they are providing. So, we are sort of expected some kind of installation engineer to come onto our premises and provide the support, rather than remotely."

"The document processing, OCR, needs to be more accurate. Sometimes, when you try it on documents, it keeps on failing and goes to a different queue. It needs to mature."

"Automation Anywhere could add more tools to track the processes and ROI, so we can get a better understanding of the cost savings and compliance. We heavily track those metrics and make them available to the leadership for review."

"They can further improve the AI. It is already at a certain level, but it can be improved."

"New versions keep coming up. The challenge for us is to have the downtime to do the migrations."

"We've had some technical difficulties connecting, but that's more on our environment and how we have the machines and everything set up. It's not specific to Automation Anywhere. However, it's pricier than some of the other tools."

More Automation Anywhere cons

"The reporting is okay, but it doesn't give you reports that make you say "wow," like you might see from a tool like MRTG or PRTG whose reports give you a good feeling. The detailing is not there in the Infraon Desk reports and there are no graphical elements in them. The reporting is slightly weak and needs to be improved."

"Better connectivity and integration with more collaborative platforms would be helpful."

"The version that I am using is very basic and I wouldn't say that it has extraordinary services capabilities that I've never seen before."

"I think the user interface needs to be improved and needs to be enhanced to be more supportive to users."

"I would also like to see better integration with external software. It is possible, but it is tough. The APIs are not very flexible, so you really have to write a lot of code to create that integration. Opening it up for external integration would allow for easier customization of the existing autobox workflows. It would help with the user's perception."

"I think that the tool should try to streamline the user interface even more because there are a lot of options that can be offered to users."

"ManageEngine has developed and implemented new features in its cloud version. I would like to see the features extended to the on-premises version."

"Currently, I cannot configure more than one point of contact. I have the MSP version, and we have around 80 or 90 customers. I don't see the features where I can configure multiple contact points for a customer so that they're notified when we are having an outreach or when we want to send them a planned maintenance notification. Other things that are lacking are mapping SLAs with vendors and mapping back on the tickets."

"In terms of the entire architecture, I find it not so robust."

"We have experienced issues with tables, sheets and columns not displaying properly. This is temporarily fixed with updates but then reoccurs. The way tickets are displayed is messy."

"We are deciding to cancel this product and move to Jira because Jira is a much better solution."

Pricing and Cost Advice

"We have a few licenses. They cost roughly $10,000 each."

"There is a free trial so that they can get an overview, and there are different licenses that are very affordable and can suit every business model."

"The pricing is reasonable and one can achieve ROI faster when compared to other tools."

"It's a bit expensive compared to other RPA tools on the market."

"The Community Edition is a good offering from the company."

"I would like them to have better license management."

More Automation Anywhere pricing and cost advice

"The pricing model is very competitive."

"The price of this solution is reasonable and it was well within my budget."

"As compared to a lot of systems out there, it is more affordable."

"We use the cloud model, which is subscription-based, and each year, the subscription fees seem to go up, making it a more expensive solution."

"ManageEngine ServiceDesk Plus' pricing is reasonable."

"When I compared it with a similar product, ManageEngine ServiceDesk Plus was $2,000 cheaper."

"Its price is very lucrative. It would be great if the price can come down, but overall, its price is great. It is half or maybe one-third of the price of other market leaders."

"ManageEngine ServiceDesk Plus' price is very reasonable."
