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.

Simple and quick to implement, easy to use, saves us time and money
This is a very flexible system, which is why I chose the platform. It is flexible with respect to our company processes and workflows, and this is something that is very important to us. The system allows us to configure simple forms and flows, and we use it when new employees are hired, when one transfers from one unit to another, or when one leaves the company. These are the main reasons that I use the functionality of the forms. IT Care Center has very much helped to simplify our IT service management. I have an SLA that commits me to 85% with the company. This platform allows me to provide services at almost 92%. It is very useful from this point of view. This product has helped us to reduce the number of IT tickets because after we have worked on a problem and closed the ticket, we send the user information on what steps we took to solve the problem. With the explanation, a user knows how to deal with the problem if it happens again. The reports also help us to reduce the number of tickets that we have. We look to see what the main reasons are for incidents and look at whether the same problem is recurring. This allows us to fix the problem in basic maintenance, and it has been very successful in helping to reduce the number of related tickets. Using this solution has helped us to reduce costs in two ways, both as a result of having fewer tickets. The first is that we have fewer employees; we have reduced our staff from five people to only three. Second, we have reduced the related hardware costs. We do not need to pay for as many PCs or laptops.

Structured workflows have improved SLA compliance and now support prioritized incident handling
I think the licensing and pricing of ServiceNow is quite expensive compared to other tools. For large organizations, it is acceptable, but specifically for small and medium organizations to track incidents or change requests, ServiceNow is quite expensive. Sometimes performance can be slow when workflows and integrations are configured for complex tasks. For advanced customizations or advanced features which we rarely use, the documentation is not up to standard. The documentation needs to be improved for advanced customization features. However, the platform is stable overall and the features are quite good. The user experience and performance concerns I mentioned are areas I want to be improved. When many workflows and interactions are configured, performance is slow. For the features it is providing, it is quite expensive. If these performance features are improved, we can easily pay that price and get the return on investment.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"We have been able to take resources that have been doing manual work and putting them into more productive work."
"Object Cloning is the most valuable feature I have found for automating a website or a process that includes multiple mouse clicks."
"All the data that comes in has to be QC'd, and Automation Anywhere helps us by automating the QC part."
"Before switching to the cloud version of Automation Anywhere, I worked with v10 and v10, so I appreciate the core functionality and the fact that it's a low-code solution. That is one of the key elements that differentiates Automation Anywhere from other platforms and one of the reasons we have been able to achieve success."
"We saved approximately 10,000 hours of work for ourselves, and there are a couple of projects that we have worked on where we could have saved approximately 4000 hours on just one project that we built in two to three weeks."
"The benefits include a reduction in tedious tasks and manual handling of tasks and time savings."
"We do plenty of manual processing every day. This is repetitive work where an employee will come and do the same task. The tool helps us to avoid those repetitive tasks and save dollars."
"It provides, not only hard benefits, but also soft benefits, leaving the human mind free of all voluminous repetitive tasks so workers can do the work that they are intended to do, which is thinking."
"It also enables us to configure simple forms and flows. The fact that the system is very flexible for adding fields and other forms assists our customer service, as well as myself as the CIO, to easily view my SLAs and KPIs."
"All of my staff is quite familiar with the usage and we customize based on our daily needs and based on different profiles. As a manager, I require diagnostics on a weekly or monthly basis. diagnostics. There needs to be some reporting for management and for my customers' management as well. So we created our own template. All of our different staff were required to do their own tagging or own tracking of cases. We create our own templates. I create my own template for my own weekly and monthly reporting to management. It's quite flexible in the sense that we're able to add our own customized views. We are able to easily export all this information into a proper reporting structure."
"It has reduced our costs by about $15,000 a year."
"The IT Care Center system enables me to see the SLAs of the company in one place, on a daily, weekly, monthly, quarterly, and yearly basis, in a very easy way."
"For a user to open a new ticket, it is very simple. That is an important thing. The system is available for users on the main desktop on their computer, so it is very easy to report tickets. It is very clear. Also, we manage the tickets with rules, according to subject and groups, so they are going to the right person in IT."
"It runs smoothly and all of the components are very easy to work with."
"Overall, the solution has helped to simplify our IT service management, with fewer calls giving us more time to work without distraction, better efficiency in the IT department, and cost reductions of 33 percent along with a 30 to 35 percent reduction in the time it takes to manage tasks."
"IT Care Center enables us to configure simple forms and flows. It makes our daily customer-facing work very efficient and easy. For example, if we want to add some new flows or change something, we have the ability to do it by ourselves in our own time and manner. This makes it very efficient."
"We used ServiceNow for change management, release management, and event management."
"If you can afford it, this is the premium Service Management suite out there."
"Now, ServiceNow is a leader and its pricing is quite good, quite competitive."
"There are a lot of features within ServiceNow. There are plenty of add-ons that go beyond the typical core helpdesk operations, such as HR facilities, BRM functionality, and various compliance and governance capabilities."
"Go ahead and get it. You'll have a cleaner insight into your organization, and how it's really working."
"Flexibility is the most valuable feature of ServiceNow, that is, being able to modify it to do what we need it to do."
"Creating a ticket is much simpler in this tool; that is one big advantage, and the simplicity and ease of use are much better."
"The main improvement is the integration of several business processes."
 

Cons

"IQ Bot requires a significant improvement for its data detection and data retention, mainly from the previously trained documents: regarding the document's format, layout, data contained within the document, the type of data that needs to be extracted."
"I'd love to see the ability to build web or mobile applications that are integrated with Automation Anywhere bots, so that a user can work on a web interface directly. Then, it can be linked to the Automation Anywhere bots in the background. They just hit a button, and all the data or information will be used by the bot to do some process in the back end."
"Investment effect is almost none, unfortunately."
"I would like to have the ability to schedule bots by whichever one is available."
"It is good for standard procedures with an SOP. For those, it works well. But there are processes that are tricky and need human intervention and intelligence. In those cases, the process gets stuck."
"Room for improvement is more on the IQ Bot side: How quickly we can adopt and deploy it?"
"The implementation process is complex, as there is integration with other applications."
"The user interface should be enhanced to make things simpler for the user."
"There is no such thing as a perfect solution and in the past, I have contacted support to implement new features."
"They should have full integration with SSO services, like Okta, creating a full service solution."
"The UI screens could be a little bit more modern."
"There is no such thing as a perfect solution and in the past, I have contacted support to implement new features."
"If there is such a feature, it would be very good for us to track how long it takes to resolve issues."
"IT Care Center has some room for improvement in regard to mobile. It doesn't have an application, there is only an adaptable web page, and that is less convenient."
"IT Care Center has some room for improvement in regard to mobile. It doesn't have an application, there is only an adaptable web page, and that is less convenient."
"There is no global support. With our previous system, we had 24/7 global support."
"The ability to embed help information onto the screens."
"Some of the issues that my team has run into are that something one day works completely fine, the next day it does not."
"I think some of the areas for improvement are some of the features that get added sometimes and not a lot of help and resources get devoted to them."
"ServiceNow doesn't cater to the Middle Eastern market."
"Integration capabilities can improve."
"There is room for improvement in price."
"The solution should offer better security when it comes to storing data."
"We are struggling with the scheduling part, but it doesn't necessarily mean that it is a ServiceNow issue. It could be the way we have configured it. We don't have it configured in a way where you can schedule a support call with our end users. We are looking for more automation in the box and the chat feature."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Our pricing a year ago was $600 per license."
"We have saved time and money using this solution."
"We have a three-year contract with Automation Anywhere."
"We have reduced our headcount, approximately 200 to 300 employees, by eliminating manual, repetitive work. It provides profit to the business."
"I would rate the cost of Automation Anywhere as a six out of ten, with ten being the most expensive."
"There is an annual subscription for Automation Anywhere."
"The cost is affordable, which makes an easy barrier to entry for the RPA market."
"We have seen about a 10 percent monetary savings."
"We reduced our costs compared to our previous solution, which was really expensive. We managed to reduce costs by half by switching to IT Care Center, not including any professional services."
"Compared to other products in the market, pricing is reasonable. It does meet our usage and requirements."
"Buy it as one package, not as modules. That is from my knowledge and experience. Most of the time, it has better pricing. They have flexibility by price size in the negotiation."
"This product is very cheap when compared to other platforms."
"The licensing model is very flexible."
"With SysAid, we paid for every end-user. If we had 100 end-users, we had to pay for each one of them. With IT Care Center, we can have as many users as we want. We only pay for the end unit. We have the asset manager and different models that we can use for the same price. So, it reduces costs."
"They could be more competitive with their licensing."
"While the option exists to pay for a monthly license, we are dealing with large enterprises and these typically involve multi-year licenses of ten or five years, at a minimum."
"The solution is expensive."
"It is an expensive platform."
"It is very expensive because it is a big organization. You have to pay for additional things."
"ServiceNow is a leader and its pricing is quite good, quite competitive... Sometimes some plugins are not priced reasonably but, generally, the platform itself, its modules, are priced reasonably."
"ServiceNow tends to be a little bit more expensive as compared to BMC Helix ITSM."
"The mandatory minimum is US$ 20,000 for licensing."
