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.

Integrated planning has improved production scheduling and now reduces downtime and costs

The biggest friction point I have run into with IFS Cloud Platform is user adoption, which has been the biggest challenge, as different users in the organization need to get accustomed to the new processes after years of using spreadsheets and legacy systems, requiring training and a mindset shift, along with challenging data migration and process standardization. My advice to someone considering IFS Cloud Platform with a similar workflow is to spend sufficient time understanding and standardizing their business processes before implementing it, as the technology is very powerful, but the real value comes when processes, data, and teams are all aligned. I would rate my overall experience with IFS Cloud Platform as a 9 out of 10.

Technology and Infrastructure Manager at Colmobil

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.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The ability to find objects easily through the 'Capture' option saves your time most significantly."

"We have worked with various tools over many years and we believe that Automation Anywhere is one of the most stable platforms."

"Automation Anywhere is a good platform with extensive capabilities that has innovated and kept their platform more centered and relevant in the market by introducing AI and agentic capabilities."

"Security is a top priority for us. To be allowed to automate different processes, we need to have a good set of controls around who is allowed to do what, and what credentials people can and can't use. It allows us to manage access make sure that we have full control."

"The integration of RPA bots with other processes and documents is good. We don't have any issues there. We could have more connectors, but it's fine. I have used it for SAP and for direct API-to-API, and that went well."

"Courses on Automation Anywhere University are very easy to learn."

"Recorders and Bot Insights are very valuable features."

"Co-Pilot is a valuable feature."

More Automation Anywhere pros

"I like the connectivity and interfaces. In V10, it's easy to modify the interfaces and layouts, but it's becoming more complicated in the cloud. IFS is excellent at asset maintenance and incident management. They have specialized modules for IFS that cover incident and asset management and everything else connected to finance. The reporting in IFS is also easy to use."

"IFS Cloud Platform has impacted my organization by allowing our team to spend less time reconciling data and more time executing business operations, as resources are utilized more effectively, reducing waste and improving productivity, while also resulting in reduced downtime and lowered maintenance costs, allowing management to make informed decisions based on actual data rather than historical reports."

"Prior to using the IFS site, it was quite difficult for us to track, access, and extract the inventory available to us, and once we started using IFS, it introduced us to a way to track and monitor the inventory, which from a user perspective is extremely useful for us."

"All the modules are valuable in their own right, but everything has to go through the ERP. IFS has done an excellent job integrating the various modules to complete these processes. My expertise is in the finance module, but I have used the other verticals. It's an all-around good product."

"Pricing Matrix: Allowed us to implement a very complex go to market pricing model, allowing us to tailor pricing to individual customer requirements and implement an automated pricing model that maximized gross profit in a very competitive environment."

"We could quickly understand what was going on and what the customer wanted to do."

"IFS Applications is very user-friendly and easy to deploy, and it's suitable for small and medium enterprises."

"Some of the strengths are Enterprise Management Solutions and the series of Management solutions which is number one in Gartner's report and has been for the last five years."

More IFS Cloud Platform pros

"My advice for anybody who is looking into this product is not to think twice."

"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 customer service, IT Care Center has helped us to centralize our daily IT activities in one platform; it has made our operations easier to use, more efficient, reliable, and available."

"We managed to reduce costs by half by switching to IT Care Center, not including any professional services."

"ITCC has helped us to simplify our IT service management and has definitely helped in reducing our time for consolidating reports, classifying reports, and tracking the problem, tickets, issues, and resolve."

"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."

"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."

More IT Care Center pros

Cons

"Initially, the implementation was tough."

"The setup is complex because there is a lot of customization."

"The customization feature should be made more user-friendly in order to enable the use of external reference components."

"We have faced some downtime and crashes with the system, but with the cooperation of the Automation Anywhere team, we have been able to contain that."

"Having better documentation that is more openly available would help. Often, it feels necessary to contact someone or search for documentation that is stored behind a login or in another location. It would be beneficial to have one centralized place for everything."

"Additional features should involve the Cognitive Section where we need more Advance solutions involving ML & AI."

"It is not able to use OCR effectively and has limited usability."

"Their bot runners could be made to handle multiple payloads at the same time because if I want to run multiple parallel operations, the number of bot runners that I have to buy just keeps increasing. It is adding to the cost. However, there is a possibility that we don't need that many bot runners, and we can run multiple operations in a bot runner. This would be a great addition to have."

More Automation Anywhere cons

"I'm a business analyst, so I do a lot of customer-facing work. I take calls from businesses I have to troubleshoot. One thing that bugs me is the error messages you get from IFS. If I get an error message, I have to dig to find the cause because, often, the error message doesn't precisely describe the problem. It'll hint about where the problem lies, but you have to work to find the root cause. It doesn't help in my situation. You expect an error message to point to the field or what is causing the issue."

"Ability to place approval check-points in the custom workflow, so clients can decide what they want it."

"We have upgraded to the latest version right now. We have issues with the quality. We tried to enroll in their Evergreen program which was meant to help us adopt any service update or anything that the tool’s providers come up with."

"Some kind of bot assistance, some kind of artificial intelligence to help people solve the problems, would be interesting."

"The user interface can be improved. When you're clicking through the screens, there are some icons or symbols that really need updating and would be more useful and noticeable if they are aesthetically pleasing."

"The biggest friction point I have run into with IFS Cloud Platform is user adoption, which has been the biggest challenge, as different users in the organization need to get accustomed to the new processes after years of using spreadsheets and legacy systems, requiring training and a mindset shift, along with challenging data migration and process standardization."

"The product requires heavy administrative work."

"Pricing is comparatively or sufficiently higher than maybe all other IT solutions."

More IFS Cloud Platform cons

"I would like the solution to have a native application for mobile phones. While I have IT Care Center in my mobile, it is not a pure application, like Outlook or Teams."

"There is no global support. With our previous system, we had 24/7 global support."

"The UI screens could be a little bit more modern."

"IT Care Center must improve the UI because it looks old-fashioned all the time."

"Our business is quite interesting because we actually look at our staff based on their productivity. So if a case is created where we want to track the productivity of the user, sometimes we look at how many actual hours they clocked in to solve the case. We realized that it would take quite a lot of hours, which was unusually high. We want to look at how we can measure that against a baseline. For example, every user should resolve the issue within three hours. We want a certain baseline where they have to resolve the issue within certain times and if they don't, I would get alerted."

"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."

"If there is such a feature, it would be very good for us to track how long it takes to resolve issues."

"They should have full integration with SSO services, like Okta, creating a full service solution."

More IT Care Center cons

Pricing and Cost Advice

"When you compare the cost of Automation Anywhere with UiPath and Blue Prism, those others are much less. Licensing-wise, UiPath wins the deal."

"They all are very competitive today. At the end of the day, it boils down to the negotiations that happen and what type of partner you are."

"Our licensing costs are setup on an annual basis."

"The cost for scalability is much cheaper than developing a new system."

"It is one of the most affordable RPA solutions, and as for licensing, they offer a community edition that greatly helps anyone who aspires to learn about the product before buying the enterprise solution."

"Considering the cost, it is a bit high, but worth the price because the output accuracy is high."

"Additional costs will be for the machines and the number of machines that you are using. You can deploy virtually as well as on physical machines. In both the situations, you do need to allocate a certain budget for securing the machines and where the software will be installed and running. The machines cannot be used for anything else, because only a certain bot can run at a certain time. You need to be very particular about your scheduling of running the bots, and while the bot is running nobody can use the machine. You cannot have an agent working on a machine and the bot running in the background. It has to be completely dedicated. Then there are the network bandwidth requirements and space requirements, which are additional costs apart from the licensing and software costs. The developer is also going to charge you for their coding time too."

"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."

More Automation Anywhere pricing and cost advice

"Ask for all-inclusive pricing, as they are pretty flexible if you ask for custom models."

"There's an additional yearly cost for support."

"I consider it to be a well-priced solution compared to other mid-range or high-end ERP solutions."

"IFS Applications are competitive in terms of pricing compared to other vendors, such as SAP, Oracle, and Epicor. They are generally cheaper, especially for licensing costs."

"The pricing of the solution may appear to be expensive for smaller companies with only tens of users; however, for larger and mid-size industrial companies, IFS is able to win deals and the pricing is competitive in the market."

"Licensing is on an annual basis, with no additional costs."

"IFS Applications is expensive software, but it's on par with SAP and Oracle. It's for large enterprises and government entities and not for small and medium-sized enterprises. They have one licensing model, but if you want to have a module-specific license, they provide component-based licenses. Unlike SAP and Oracle, it doesn't have different levels of licensing. It's one level of licensing."

"It is better to buy implementation services from IFS than from partners"

More IFS Cloud Platform pricing and cost advice

"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."

"The licensing model is very flexible."

"This product is very cheap when compared to other platforms."

"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."

"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."
