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.

Fulfills all IT management needs, simple setup, but could be more user-friendly

Unfortunately, we were not able to implement the mobility feature so I won't be able to provide feedback on it (and it was something that has been requested since we have field workers and given the WFH case due to the pandemic). This is due to results of security tests and which we were not yet able to address in our environment. We've been also trying to integrate our current system with discovery solutions but it was not easy. I am not sure if it is due to the fact that we still have an older version of the AlembavFire product. Also, users are also requesting that the current system's UI can still be improved. For those of our users who had experienced ServiceNow, they cited that they can do RFC chats via the tool. In our group, we are using AlembavFire for recording the ticket and do other discussions/alignments via Teams chat.

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

"Since we can register multiple bot runners in one control room, and we can easily monitor and re-run bots when necessary, it is convenient for me."

"The ease of use and its ability to change the code when something in the main process or core process changes. The ease of use is really good."

"In terms of monetary savings, we automated a bot in three days that has saved us $30,000 in costs."

"The most valuable feature is the SAP application and the DLLs that Automation Anywhere provides. These DLLs help automate the SAP application."

"I don't think one feature is more valuable than any other. In my opinion, the value is in the totality of the platform. It is easy to use for our developers with a well laid out UI and many canned tools. The Control Room is very easy to navigate and mostly intuitive to use."

"I recommend Automation Anywhere to other users because it minimizes repetitive human tasks, saves time, and helps reduce costs."

"Now, with the help of Automation Anywhere Bot it's being handle automatically, and work that would take one week is now being completed within an hour."

"There are a lot of savings in terms of effort and time as well as costs."

More Automation Anywhere pros

"Incident Management is the most valuable feature of the solution."

"The workflow is very good, as well as customizable."

"From the time we started using vFire, we were able to ensure continuity tracking of Service Tickets (incident and request fulfillment-related)."

"When we met with the Alemba vFire from Australia, it was a good discussion and they have a good feature roadmap."

"The simplicity is good for our clients. The price is good."

"Apart from ticket management and workflow, the Kanban board is one of the helpful tools in Jira."

"It scales well."

"I like that it's easy to set up Sprint and put tasks and stories into Sprint; it is really easy to lay out the work that needs to be done."

"The initial setup is straightforward."

"The SLA, speed, the comments from the agents' side, and the dashboard for agents are the most valuable features."

"The most valuable features are the management tools."

"Service Management is great if you're an Atlassian shop already using JIRA for the development team and you want another tool for help desk ticketing. When it's all under the same umbrella, I can easily take a ticket from the help desk and move it to the development team. You can't beat that integration between two products."

More JIRA Service Management pros

Cons

"Off the top of my head, I cannot think of anything that they would need to improve on, but there are probably opportunities to explore some potential use cases where maybe there is a feature that is not yet available. We can discover and pioneer something together."

"We want to have greater control on deciding when we want to upgrade to a newer version"

"I attended and successfully completed the certification for the Document Automation Masterclass. For this, we tried to automate handwritten documents, but it was not successful. I believe there is room for improvement. This was the only use case we had in the last couple of months where we attempted this and did not get the desired results."

"Automation Anywhere will sometimes announce releases or updates in their roadmap, and we wait for them, but they do not happen on time or at all."

"We had a few setbacks because of bots getting queued and unable to force delete a task bot which kept persisting in the control room. These features should be included in future releases which will be highly beneficial."

"Automation Anywhere should make it easier for developers to manage queues and exception handling. The OCR component could also be better. We have had to use other OCR tools to get information from the account documents."

"The technical support has been a little slow to respond to our inquiries."

"As a developer, I find Automation Anywhere's bot editor riddled with minor workflow issues that hinder productivity."

More Automation Anywhere cons

"The product should improve its ability to integrate with third-party tools."

"We had issues with the user interface, the way it was structured wasn't that user-friendly."

"We had issues with the user interface, the way it was structured wasn't that user-friendly. The chat features could improve. For example, in change management, all the chat discussions can be done via ServiceNow. We are using two separate solutions, such as Teams, to chat, and the Alemba vFire tool to process."

"The reporting needs to be improved."

"Jira Service Management is expensive and not worth the money compared to monday.com."

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

"The product could improve its asset management."

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

"The documentation needs improving, it's difficult to find specific procedures."

"An improvement they could add is a better management dashboard. We only use the dashboard for the administration mode. We have a dashboard that reports the state of bugs or requirements. However, customers can only view requests that they made. We are not able to share a dashboard with our manager level customers to show them all of the requests in a quick dashboard."

"From the customer side, it's not friendly used compared to other competitors, like ServiceNow or BMC. It's also not fully ITSM management if you compare it with ServiceNow or BMC. They have a full model of ITSM. In BMC they have TrueSight, they have Discovery, which helps IT to discover IT equipment with a serial number, with the specs, capacity of the server."

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

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Its cost is good."

"My understanding is that the license cost of Automation Anywhere is more reasonable than UiPath and Blue Prism."

"The cost of Automation Anywhere is high in Turkey due to the weak economy."

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

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

"Approximately, for a developer, it is around $750 for a license a year. For Bot Runners, it is about $550."

"Automation Anywhere is competitive... Pega is somewhat comparable, but Pega also requires a lot more infrastructure and a lot more experience to get up and running."

"My only suggestion in terms of pricing is very generic and that is to consider that as much as RPA saves cost and does automation, please get a realistic estimation done on whether you are really achieving any ROI over your investment with RPA."

More Automation Anywhere pricing and cost advice

"The product is much cheaper than ServiceNow."

"Alemba vFire is more affordable than the other solutions on the market. The solution changes for the number of customers not per user or module. The price was reasonable overall. We paid for support and it was a fair price."

"Costs are about $50 per user per year. JIRA is sold in user tiers of 25, 50, 100, 250, 500, 2000, 10,000, and unlimited users. It is bad when you have 51 users then the price is based on that 100 user tier. Users at 100 will be the most cost effective."

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

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

"But about the plugins, I found one plug-in — its name is Actionable Metric I think — and it is $3000. That is very expensive for users in Iran."

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

"I rate Service Management four out of 10 for affordability. The price could be better, especially for companies using more than one Atlassian product. It's suitable for SMBs that can afford it. I don't think there's another tool that's both better and cheaper. All help desk tools are relatively expensive."

"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."

"I price of JIRA Service Management is reasonable."
