"I found AA best among other tools available in the Market."
What do you like best about Automation Anywhere - RPA | Robotic Process Automation?

It's just not like a tool, it's an environment where you can automate almost any process.

the IQ bot section is a unique feature of AA, a combination of ML and AI.

and the best thing is you can create your custom DomXpath if you are automating any web-based automation. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Automation Anywhere - RPA | Robotic Process Automation?

if it becomes available in Desktop mode again like V11, that would be great.

because while you are making a code and your Internet got disconnected or if the Site cookies expire, your code can be disappeared, and I like some of the functionality from A360 and some of the V11.

Can we combine them and migrate them into the A360 cloud with an auto-saving feature?

will be a significant step. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
