The actions in a2019 are easy to use and improved. They have continuous improvements in the packages for each action. Custom packages can now be built with Java. Python is now supported. Some of the limitation of v11 are resolved here. I like the 3 installation options(on cloud, on prem and cloud enabled) Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Migration videos from v11 to a2019 should be shown. a2019 name should be changed to something more generic. Certification answers should be provided if one passes the exams. New upgrade/release or new feature should be notified in an email. More examples of Java based custom packages should be given. AARI and discovery bot uses cases should be made available for the developers to try and understand the concept clearly. IQBot should detect checkboxes more efficient. The run time window doesn't show the which step is running accurately Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Number of packages available, saves lots of time and effort.
Instead of writing long codes simply drag and use the already available set of actions.
IQ Bot is really great while extracting information from documents. May be human eye can miss certain details but IQ bot can not.
Also OCR & IQ Bot pre-processors to deal with scanned documents makes a lot of required process easier and fast.
Support for Python literally awesome, to implement certain logics and to execute certain commands. Like Using Python date time module to extract the date from a document in desired format or to modify the field value extracted from the document.
Making process Error free and quick is one of the most Important feature I find in Automation Anywhere as a RPA Platform.
Automaton anywhere has made working with excel so smooth that you don't require to stuck your head in screen to update those files.
The Regex support is very useful while dealing with certain Patterns in a string, how it helps in handling the errors and utilizing the OCR at its full capability is worth mentioning.
UI Automation specially with Ai Sense Recorder is really helpful with the dynamic nature of the modern websites and the credential vault feature to provide secure login during UI automation is really an appreciable feature.
Last but not the least, the organized and user friendly appearance of the platform, makes it easier and interesting to explore. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Recurring issues like " An un expected problem occurred" which requires to log out and log in to fix the issue. This is really annoying when working on long codes.
Another small issue is when you try to drag actions/action inside conditional statement, it get lost if you have not clicked outside of the Conditional statement line
Flow chart view is not that user friendly as compared to other RPA tools, it can be improved , like its really hard to see which set of actions are inside a particular section in Flowchart mode, this can be improved by introducing thread like feature in the flowchart.
Many times it does not identify the same device and go disconnected, which requires to delete the device and re register it, which is not pleasing at all.
Functionality of IQ Bot pre-processor: "Get document Info" needs to be improved, as it fails to extract many data from the page, which OCR can extract easily by converting the page into image using PDF action set. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Reduces time and makes work easier. Increases the work Efficiency.
Can automate different types of Applications, such as Web Applications, Desktop Application , and many more.
It is very user friendly, if you are using it for the first time also, you won't feel that it is that difficult for you to get it. Inside the applications you will be having all the directions how to use which commands and all.
Once you automate something, you can get all your things done in one single click. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
There are few issues when we connect to the server side but gets resolved very quickly by raising a ticket or contacting the help desk.
Few of the commands needs to be included in the Action panel and should more number of options for Automating things. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Automation anywhere application offers on the go access to control bots and real time insights to bot ROI. It allows our Mobile workspace to manage Real time ROI data. It has ability to start and stop Bots and provide real time notifications. It is great for management and monitoring. It must say it is an excellent application, well designed and built with good quality to maintain proper functionality. This is an excellent application to manage RPA tasks on the go. Automation anywhere application provides a next level of service. I must say a revolutionary app to measure performance of our bots and quickly fix operational issues very nicely. The best part of this app is getting real time notifications related to our bots and data. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Overall I like the app and didn't face much issues while connecting to CR but in starting I faced issues in connecting to CR and also in starting and stopping bots despite everything being connected and bot status populates randomly . So If these issues will be fixed the app will be more better as compared to current status of app. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
The power of automation, the simplicity and the ease of use, its flexibility and the possibility to deploy this organization wide. There is a great support team which provides quick solutions with out of box thinking. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
We face issues with many bots in production, specially after the Control Room upgrades but that could be understood and is kind of expected. The other challenge is that the devices do not connect automatically to the control room after planned and unplanned outages which impact the control room, but we have informed that it's likely to change when we move to the Cloud. We do have some concerns about the support, many problems just persist without resolution like black screens and machines logging off intermittently. Accuracy was not high with the IQ bot.

the automation anywhere enhanced its progmatic skills notonly on premises but it also in cloud environment and its emerged to the artificial intelligence feature. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
few of the sub commands which we are not comfortable because of its least use i.e terminal emulator,app integration and xml commands.some of the few commands are there but thats not come into picture to be used with the organisation.Sometimes the object cloning is not that much feasible to be used with the portal Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Very much useful for completing the daily task with ease and reducing manual effort needed to complete the same process daily. The UI interaction is more advanced compared to the previous version of this Tool. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
The Citrix operations are yet to be developed in a considerable way to compete with Uipath which is already providing various options for the Citrix Automation such as Native Citrix and Computer Vision which are compared to that of Automation anywhere.
The lack of visualization of the process that the bot has executed, integration of other vendors to generate a statistical report of the way the bot runs.
The Uipath has more integrated way to show the visual representation by creating dash boards in the Kibana while combined with Elastic or Splunk.
The way to store the code where multiple developers will be able to develop the code. Right now i saw the only integration with the SVN. hoping we can have a bit more like TFS or GIT in future. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Easy to add the tool to your current design and infrastructure.
Safe and secure authentication while using credentials inside any task.
Metabots are the most effective in increasing the reusability and less repetitive steps.
Ease of administration via control room
Botstore bots save a lot of time while building the automation. I have used multiple bots from botstore and also launched a bot on Botstore
Community version has helped immensely in creating a POC and understanding the tool and automation solution practically
Easier to understand and adapt by any person even with limited automation technical expertise. Reporting and analytics has been a plus Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Versioning can be better. If you want to compare two versions of tasks, it is challenging to track changes if step positions alter. Debugging can be improved. There is no stepping into a subtask from a task for debugging. Currently subtask needs to run seperately with additional steps added for sending variable values. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

what I like the most about it is that the learning curve is very short. You can create your first bot with in your first hour. The next thing is that there was a free certification period for partners, One of the things i would like to say is that the support you get is amazing and their fast response is appreciated. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
If there is one thing that i would like to change about the product is the installation process. The steps are a bit complicated though you get an excellent support when you face a problem. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
