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.

Provides limited scalability, and systems do not synchronize properly

I use the platform to track IT assets, including who they belong to and their current status I do not find the product beneficial. It has ongoing issues and does not meet my expectations. The two systems within Asset Manager do not synchronize properly. Queries fail to retrieve the correct…

Ajay Paul

System Engineer at a outsourcing company with 10,001+ employees

Vulnerability management has prioritized high‑risk patching and simplified bulk system reporting

The primary issue is with the reporting functionality. Even though we fix vulnerabilities, the reports do not reflect the changes immediately. Sometimes we need to manually run a script to scan the systems before Qualys Enterprise TruRisk Management will update the scan results. The main issue is the reporting delay, and sometimes the Qualys Enterprise TruRisk Management agent will not scan the system, which means we do not receive accurate reports in a timely manner. Additionally, there are many metrics for calculating vulnerabilities, such as the Qualys ID, severity scores, CVSS scores, and other metrics. The abundance of information can be confusing. These two aspects are the most significant negatives I have experienced with this tool.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"Automation Anywhere, specifically A2019, has helped us in automating a major chunk of such tasks, thus helped in saving a lot of time, effort, and revenue."

"We have automated that complete process of code review. The bot is solving the problem of ensuring the compliance of reviewing code. People use to generally skip the code review process, because it was exhaustive. Bots can review the complete standards of the code, whatever is there, ensuring the compliance and eventually saving time."

"It is an easy product. It is easier and less complex than any other RPA tool in the market. It is a popular product."

"With our conversion from v11 to A360, there has been better ease of development of components within the control room for our development teams."

"Automation Anywhere can grow alongside our automation needs."

"One of the things I appreciate the most about Automation Anywhere is that it's in the cloud, so when we are on-site on a project, we collect a lot of data, hand it to this bot, and it runs the function; by the time we reach our destination, whether we move from San Francisco to New York, it's equivalent to 20 people's work in six hours, utilizing quite a few attended or unattended bots."

"The speed-up and greater control over the quality of the processes have also led to savings in money and are increasing the happiness of the company's customers."

"What I appreciate the most about Automation Anywhere is that the end-user experience is superior to any of the other tools on the market that we've looked at."

More Automation Anywhere pros

"The product's stability in terms of uptime is generally good; it is always operational."

"The solution is easy to setup."

"Using this product, we now have a vulnerability management cycle wherein VMDR plays a major role."

"Qualys VM is very stable."

"The most valuable feature is automation."

"I like Qualys because it is a very complete product, more so than Tenable."

"Great web application security for scanning."

"It's very configurable to adjust impact to systems."

"The product's patch management is excellent for keeping our critical servers and third-party applications updated efficiently."

"Monitors workstations and servers for vulnerabilities and creates reports."

More Qualys Exposure Management pros

Cons

"We have encountered some issues in the actions like Terminal Emulator-> Send Key -> Page Down/Up not working."

"The cost of this solution can be improved."

"Automation Anywhere is a tool. It is not able to go ahead and extract the hand-written documents. Most of the automation tools that we have in the market are not able to get an accuracy of close to 80 to 90 percent on hand-written documents. So, I'm eagerly looking at a release from Automation Anywhere, wherein they could plug in an LP or look at some sort of a platform which could convert hand-written documents into a readable format. If they could bring in they own platform, this would make a big in-roads for the entire automation industry."

"We encountered issues during the upgrade of the framework. We were using the older framework of version 10.3.5. When we were upgrading, we were having a few issues in terms of getting the proper hardware and software prerequisites. For some things, like getting the controls of some of the application's tools, we were getting Automation Anywhere's help."

"It's somewhat pricier than some of the other tools that we've used, and the breakout between the different applications is also somewhat costly."

"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."

"They often provide good solutions, but sometimes they are unable to resolve issues, requiring users to find solutions independently, which can be time-consuming."

"I have had a couple of crashes and issues."

More Automation Anywhere cons

"Queries fail to retrieve the correct information, and the discovery tool does not accurately reflect the details of devices."

"The synchronization between the ITAM and Neurons should be restored."

"Improve the API speed."

"Qualys VMDR could improve in reducing the occurrences of false positive vulnerabilities."

"Qualys could improve the inbuilt dashboards."

"There's a need to upgrade or fix the potential vulnerability rate. Around 20,000 potential vulnerabilities were showing in Qualys VMDR, but none of the other tools showed them. When we checked, it wasn't the case. Support explained that even small issues were being counted as vulnerabilities, causing issues in our audit. So, the security features could be improved to identify vulnerabilities accurately."

"The reporting and the GUI need improvements."

"The reporting and dashboards could improve in Qualys VM. However, they have improved since the previous versions."

"Maybe the reporting features. It is too granular, so that if someone new wants to get familiar with it, they will have a hard time."

"I can't say as I have worked mostly on its vulnerability management module."

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The price of this product is good."

"It is somewhere in the middle. The price and value of Automation Anywhere are better than UiPath. The pricing is good globally. It could be a little bit cheaper, but it is good."

"It is fantastic. It has been great. It is perfectly priced for the quality received. When paying for quality, that is exactly what you get."

"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."

"Initially, they charged a premium, but now the rest of the vendors have increased their overall pricing and Automation Anywhere is not that high at this time. It's pretty viable."

"AA comes at a more affordable price than the other tools."

"Pricing is too high for small-scale groups. The Control Room yearly fee is high, making it difficult to break even."

"Roughly, as of today, it is around $250,000 annually."

More Automation Anywhere pricing and cost advice

"The solution is reasonably priced."

"Usually every implementation is different and the quote is in function of number of assets."

"When you want to cover yourself for scalability, you will be charged for the number you place on the scan itself."

"The price is very reasonable."

"There are no additional fees in addition to the standard licensing fees."

"The solution is expensive."

"They have recently changed the pricing model, which is now better than it was before."

"The product is more expensive than that of any other vendor."

"Qualys Virtual Scanner Appliance isn't expensive right now. But the price for their product bundles could be better."
