Technical support speed in response to customer requests. There might be some gap within the level 1 support team, which might delay giving the resolution fast. Recommended if you need something urgent, do call them through the hotline or search the information in their knowledge base. Other than them you also can post your question in APeople community to get help from other Automation Anywhere developers. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Following are things I loved about the tool:-

1) Ease of use and UI Developer options - You can get people to learn this tool quickly. Its as easy as writing code in laymen English. Developers can just explore the features and write code, without even having training programs. You won't need best of programmers to automate simple processes.

2) Enterprise RPA Features - Develop your code with industry best practices, quickly with the help of features like- Queues(to be used in multiple bots for single process), Bot Insights, Credentials Manager, Control room to deploy. Best in class Control Room Management features.

3) Even Business operation teams can build small attended bots to help themselves finish their job quickly without a lot of training effort.

Updated version AA 360

1) Its a whole new tool, and as the name suggests (AA 360) it provides a lot many integrations with AI technologies ranging from IBM Watson, Microsoft Luis, AWS AI.

2) There are major changes on development side, its completely cloud based, required no seperate dev license for development (which is good for a quick start)

3) variables now have data type and you can do a lot more with Data tables, Dictionary type variables etc.

4) Also allows small code integration which is again a plus plus.

5) Community edition and support portal is much more helpful for developers now. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

Following are the things I believe can be improved or are just limitations of ease of use:-

1) More lines of code required, then other tools for manipulating strings or structured data like tables and collections, as most of the features are UI based.

2) Inability to write .net or vbs code in the tool itself makes it difficult to query in memory data. In most tools this can be achieved by LINQs etc, but of course that's because its easier for beginners to work for.

3) You will not have to maintain a highly talented and expensive coders for support of bots you have in production.

Negatives for AA 360 upgrade

1) The company seems confused with the approach of having flow chart based development design or line by line execution

2) Migration from older version is complex due to change in base architecture of tool from .net to java based.

3) I have not noticed many minor releases, instead one major release causes lot of migration hiccups.

4) Company does not seems to have a good futuristic plan for upcoming releases. But I think this newer version can make things easy. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

While RPA is a great solution to resolve a tedious process, there are some drawbacks, like there is a problem with the drag and drop process, which can make the process a bit challenging. Another point is that the price of the product is high for some SMB sectors. With the above adjustments, I am sure that it will solve many repetitive problems.

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

- Development environment: The Automation Anywhere 360, as it is completely web-based, avoids the need to carry out local software installations to develop automation flows. In addition, it constantly receives version updates and improvements.

- IQ Bot: It has been a fantastic option for handling unstructured data and pattern recognition.

- Implementation of the architecture: In addition to Automation Anywhere Enterprise to have the option of on-premises installation, the cloud version of the Control Room eliminates the need to worry about local infrastructure, purchasing Windows licenses, configuring networks and support.

- License: The license sales model is simplified and objective. The prices of the items contained in each package are always explicit, unlike other suppliers for which it is necessary to analyze excess details in order to choose the appropriate license. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

Although the Actions of Automation Anywhere Workbench (web-based development environment) are intuitive and exist in great volume, there are still some simple operations when working with tables. Another point is that it is not always possible to extract the results of a processing to a desired format (without having to perform many steps), such as XLSX instead of CSV.

The design part of the flowcharts could improve as well. Because even if you use a large monitor to view them, they still take up a lot of space, making it difficult to see the flow as a whole during development. So using the list view option seems to be preferred by most developers, although I would like the idea of using the visual feature more.

The Automation Anywhere could improve the Remote Desktop experience by developing some kind of extension, just like other vendors do.

It should be noted that the few bugs I found in the tool are resolved over the months and the constant updates that Automationa Anywhere provides. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

The stability of bot in newer version could be improved . You can try to bring in more stability as now you are the top 3 tools in the market and you can attaract more customers for this tool. But i truly believe that with its improving nature it will move take over the lead position in RPA market. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
