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.

Manual ticketing features hinder workflow, but cost-effective ticket management is ensured
We just use it because it's more trouble to rip it out than to replace it with a more expensive tool. I would not recommend this product to others. If budget is a concern, it might be suitable but it doesn’t excite. Hence, I would rate it a four out of ten.

Organized real-time customer chats have improved support efficiency and response handling
One thing I found unique about Sendbird is how smooth the real-time chat feels. It does not feel delayed or clunky. Conversations flow naturally, as though you are talking to someone in real time. If I could improve one thing, I would add more built-in analytics around conversations, such as clearer insights on response times, common issues, and agent performance. That would make it much easier to optimize support without relying on external tools. One improvement I see for Sendbird would be more flexibility in customizing the chat interface, especially around how conversations are displayed for agents. Sometimes, when handling multiple chats, having better layout controls or quick filters would make it much easier to stay organized. I also would appreciate more built-in analytics inside the platform itself, such as clearer breakdowns of response times, chat resolution rates, and common customer issues. Right now, you often need external tools to get that level of insights. Overall, it works very well, but those improvements would make the day-to-day support work much smoother and much more efficient.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"Now, we can have the bot check all of them."
"The Control Room is the most important feature, where we can manage the bots and publish to various bot runners in the environment."
"Since implementing the solution, the tasks are taking place in a seamless manner. As long as the process is not changed, there is the ease of replicability. Repeatable tasks constantly get done without any challenges."
"My experience with the deployment of the solution is positive; it's fast, and we have not encountered any problems related to that."
"A cloud deployment typically takes no more than one business day."
"We have used document processing from the beginning. We have a few use cases running in production, processing thousands of documents. With the success rate of more than 80%, it's efficiently extracting data for us."
"The valuable features that I see for automation with enterprise RPA are IQ Bot and Bot Insights. If you do anything, Bot Insight will provide the dashboard. It starts from the developer with artificial intelligence and the dashboard, which will provide the visibility of business-level metrics as well as operational-level metrics. Those are the good things I see in automation."
"We brought onshore a lot of what we were doing offshore, saving our company close to $20 million."
"We have found the reporting in this product to be very useful."
"The product teams are continuously on the products trying to improve them. If, for example, I ask for a change to be done in the software, the chances are in the next release it's going to be done and incorporated. It's this personal touch that I like."
"Their technical support has been very helpful and is very good."
"ManageEngine SupportCenter Plus works fine as a help desk software and is relatively inexpensive."
"Their tech support has been talking to us about expanding features like integrations with Microsoft Teams."
"When using it predominantly for a help desk solution, it seems like an absolutely fine product."
"The most valuable features are the ITIL compliance and billing."
"The product is very scalable and stable when used as a help desk once it is built out."
"The most valuable feature for us, besides chat, was file transfer, as we used it for sending files and images in chats."
"Features similar to WhatsApp, such as online and offline statuses, message reactions, and replies, add significant value."
"Overall, Sendbird is a solid choice if you are looking for a reliable, scalable chat solution without the overhead of building and maintaining your own messaging infrastructure."
"Sendbird is reliable and generally crash-free."
"Sendbird provides many features for real-time messaging, such as receipt ID and typing indicators."
"Sendbird is really valuable because I was able to create a chat from scratch in two to three days and a custom chat in a week by implementing things from scratch."
"Sendbird is very flexible, and they have made great strides towards optimization."
"There are many useful features with Sendbird."
 

Cons

"The licensing model could be a lot less complex, mainly due to their different structures, which are not straightforward."
"Instead of depending on other open-source BPM products, AA should provide their own BPM for attended automations."
"Overall improvement is needed for non-technical users who face challenges with how to use it and how to perform more tasks."
"We'd like to see more AI features."
"In terms of improvements for Automation Anywhere, I would prefer to see more options in packages and pricing, including a breakdown of different features and products, which would allow us to select certain products while potentially skipping others as needed."
"Automation Anywhere is headed in the right direction but they still have a good way to go."
"My experience has been that if the person who codes the bot is not very well-trained, then they might create unstable bots."
"Sometimes, in Automation Anywhere, the recording process takes longer when capturing tasks on websites or applications, and there can be internal errors."
"They're pretty good but there's always room for improvement. There should be more templates that users can utilize immediately."
"ManageEngine, in my experience, fosters that type of environment; it doesn't have an easy button, a graphic user interface, ease-of-use, and ease-of-dev — the product does not have any of that."
"The business model for the company is to sell low and charge for customization, education or expertise."
"The product is very difficult to use and configure and requires specialists."
"The tech support is terrible and that seems to be a part of their business plan."
"ManageEngine SupportCenter Plus could improve on workflow automation features."
"I would like to see some kind of project management or portfolio management in a future version."
"There is no cloud-based version and it would be helpful if it were available."
"More analytics tools could be integrated into Sendbird."
"For Sendbird to be improved, I would say creating more multi-platform SDKs is essential."
"To improve Sendbird, it could provide features such as those in WhatsApp, including allowing users to share their current location and live location, and enabling users to keep and share their current status with others."
"A major issue was the requirement for a separate connection to Sendbird, resulting in a delay when initiating the chat."
"Sendbird can be improved by looking into the app ID and improvements on a daily basis."
"Their pricing is very high compared to competitors, which is a concern for us."
"One area that could be improved is the handling and visibility of unread message counts."
"If I could improve one thing, I would add more built-in analytics around conversations, such as clearer insights on response times, common issues, and agent performance."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Their licensing processes are in par with most industry standards."
"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."
"Automation Anywhere's pricing falls within the mid-range, but the long-term benefits outweigh the initial investment."
"We have established a CoE and we take our bot opportunities based on their ROIs. The best ROI opportunity goes to development first. Our ROI opportunities are compliance, profitable growth, productivity enhancements, productivity gains, number of hours the productivity saved, and resources not available that the work can be done by the bot. However, the single most important criteria that we use to measure ROI is how much time does the bot cut down from an analyst's work, as this has the best ROI. E.g., if an analyst is spending a 100 hours of work that a bot can do in one hour, we calculate the 99 hours saved as ROI."
"Automation Anywhere is costlier than the general competition. That is aligned with the share of the market it has."
"Roughly, as of today, it is around $250,000 annually."
"We generally follow the Gain-Sharing Pricing model, which enables the customer to start getting the RPA benefits right from day one of their implementation."
"It's a bit expensive compared to other RPA tools on the market."
"The licensing fees depend on different criteria, including options and sizing."
"ManageEngine products will always be the lowest cost in category as that is part of their business model."
"There is a starter plan for $399 per month, and a pro plan for $799 dollars."
