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.

Quite good back-end architecture for end users but the API is very, very bad
Our company uses the solution for system, program, service request, change, and knowledge-based management.  We perform CMD authorizations and use a lot of integrations for our in-house or third-party applications. We also use Salesforce automations and Microsoft orchestrations.  We have about…

Stable, easy to install, and cost effective, but it needs better integration and data management
It needs better integration with other tools like Jira. Better reporting and better data management are also needed. I believe the way they're structured is the flat file. So it'd be better if they actually used a database for the data storage, and a more robust portal. I would like more flexible reporting.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"For an organization who is looking to do some business renovation, the solution can work well depending on its purpose and usage."
"It helps with the speed on improving processes and the results of those processes."
"Having no restriction for any single programming language is very useful."
"Automation Anywhere has a drag-and-drop feature eliminating the need for extensive coding."
"We can integration with other APIs, which is a good thing. This helps us with our database integration. For example, we have done an SAP integration, which is great, since SAP has a lot of manual work."
"The tool is very easy to use and mostly user-friendly. I like that when using it I don't need much expertise."
"Automation Anywhere offers better value and is more effective for organizations seeking cost-effective solutions."
"From an SAP point of view, we have in-built features. They have integrated everything together, so it's much easier for us to use that."
"We have integrated Service Desk Manager fully from servicing the customer, right down to the network configuration, and that provides many customer benefits and enhances our customer experience as well."
"Scalability is very good. We have scaled to more users and more functionality."
"From a quick resolution point of view, the fact that xFlow has got the self-service that's linked to knowledge management means people are also able to solve their own problems without necessarily requiring tickets through the entire life cycle of second line support, and that has helped a lot."
"Now, it is all there and stuff does not get lost."
"Being able to specify event rules and SLAs that can help to automate some of the processes that people are doing manually is valuable."
"If properly deployed, I think that the CA Service Desk Manager is scalable."
"It has a lot of information, the way we have it set up, that you can use."
"The most valuable features for us was the ability to calculate service levels for different time periods as well as the ability to store and archive contracts."
"It is more flexible than our current solution."
"The two most valuable features are the portal and reporting."
"Absolutely, we have seen a return on our investment."
 

Cons

"Their Community Edition is awful. Every second day, it will fail. It will become corrupt."
"My current and previous companies have had stability issues."
"Automation Anywhere lacks a desktop version and is solely web-based and cloud-based. Automation Anywhere is not so easy for business users who are not technical."
"I would rate Automation Anywhere's support a four out of ten because the support is horrible for all customers."
"The IQ Bot has not yet succeeded in living up to its reputation due to its high cost, low ROI, and its inability to meet client requirements."
"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."
"Cloud was one of the features we wanted to see, because it makes it much easier. The second feature is ease of use in terms of agnostic operating system."
"Automation Anywhere can be improved by reducing the time of the processes and enhancing the efficiency of people."
"The part of notification methods and satisfaction surveys remain almost unchanged."
"​Compared to some of the other products, I think we are bit behind​.​"
"I think many of the good features are outweighed by some of the services and support issues we've had, and so again, we're still in the honeymoon phase, and we've got some struggles that we're trying to resolve."
"CA develops and acquires enough tools and adds them to its solutions, but does not necessarily fully integrate them before releasing them."
"The interface for the users is a bit old-fashioned and not user-friendly."
"The interface is pretty straightforward, but I think for some end-users a little more simplified user interface would help, perhaps."
"The CA products integrate well together but I would like to see better integration with third-party solutions."
"Just little technical tweaks here and there. Like more options. For example "Organization." We wanted that to be available inside the change order, as well as the ticket and the request. And that's not available."
"It needs better integration with other tools like Jira."
"It's a very cost-effective solution, but it's not robust."
"Yes. Major system issues and outages during our implementation."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"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."
"We are currently negotiating a contract. Depending upon that, we will definitely look at increasing usage."
"IQ Bots are very costly. It's not a sustainable bot for us as of now. We will look for better, alternate options for that."
"This is a value for the money product."
"It's the best RPA tool, but the pricing could be improved."
"We are not receiving the right information about their features, e.g. Automation Anywhere University, or anything that they are selling. They need to improve their documentation."
"It has good licensing costs which are average for the market."
"The setup cost depends on multiple factors, so you need to get details before choosing."
"I don't see anyone other than large companies being able to afford this system."
"The pricing is based on a subscription model."
"Pricing is simple, as it’s per concurrent analysts."
"It is a bit expensive, but you definitely get what you pay for. It is worth it!"
"The solution is quite reasonable compared to other solutions in the market."
"There is a subscripted needed to use Clarity SM. The price of the solution could be less expensive. ServiceNow is less expensive and BMC Helix is priced similar to Clarity SM."
"Clarity offers a perpetual license. Customers purchase the license once and then pay for maintenance. CA provides a subscription model as well. Both models are available for our customers."
"I think pricing of this model is suitable for growing corporations."
"The price is approximately $70 per agent, per month."
