"Automating Repetitive Processes- Lets Automate"
What do you like best about Automation Anywhere - RPA | Robotic Process Automation?

Automation Anywhere Tool has its own various commands which helps in automating repetitive processes in no time. The object cloning command provides every property of any web application. Also excel commands help us to automate any excel sheet. Web recorder, Screen recorder and smart recorder automatically capture the functions that we do. IQ Bot is also a very great feature to capture data and train and test for number of documents at a time. Also splitting of documents in IQ BOT 6.5 version is the new feature of IQ Bot which is good. Automation Anywhere can also be run on unattended ( no human intervention ) and attended mode. RDP Based Automation is also one key feature of AA. The new version of AA (11.3.3) has a lot of new enhancements and features. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

Too much dependency on the control room. IQ bot should support handwritten pdfs as well. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

Most of the features are good, and not much of its required and but for beginners its hard to understand the interface and I would say it could be better for learning to build a test bot, if he is news, as he got no idea. So some tutorials or demos can really work out ! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Overall, a very satisfactory course."
What do you like best about Automation Anywhere - RPA | Robotic Process Automation?

Content is very precise and the instructor is very clear with his concepts. The arrangement of content is very logical. The examples quoted in all the sessions are very practical and easy to relate to. There are multiple template one can download which is extremely helpful in the process automation. Visual editor is good to create automation models. Workflow recording is excellent. The steps performed by me were easily recreated by the bots. Organization data is very secure with automation anywhere. As of today, I haven't faced any issue with data privacy. There is very minimal/no human intervention after a process is automated.

Also, the pricing is very cheap when compared to other platforms in the market.

I recently used to automate an entire business flow for one of my clients and it seemed to be a cakewalk, provided you have your fundamentals cleared, which is again very convenient with all the open source tutorials on Automation Anywhere Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

Advanced level information is not captured. It's good for beginners though. Navigation is little confusing. I found the videos a edgy, could be because of the network. I personally found it difficult to reuse their process automation and communicate with other team members around automation. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

There were some problems I faced while automating tasks in AA. One being backward compatibility. The readability of code is quite poor which makes it very difficult for developers to debug the code. Also, when you move to other file in AA Client it moves down to the line of code as per the previously opened file. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

The dashboard is user-friendly but its not that damn good looking. I am biggest fan of its Version 11.0v but this A2019 dashboard looks are disturbing.

A2019 sound to fulfilled with technologies but still its ease of access and easy working compared to V11.0 makes it hard to work on with.

Also expecting more learning paths and real time examples of A2019 in Automation University Portal Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What I like in the tool is the top down structure and was of the activities to use and it is very easy to debug the error in automation anywhere rather than other competitors like Uipath and blueprism.

There are multiple things which personally I wanted to be changed in updated version and this is what exactly happened. But still I want one more thing needs to be added in A2019 which is Parallel Processing (like UIPath). Once I was working with Java application and AA was unable to capture elements using taskbot while in metabot elements are available but it was not working properly, so please provide any solution for Java applications.
