NOTHING MUCH TO SAY OR DISLIKE ABOUT IT. THE TOOLS WHICH ARE USED FOR DEVELOPMENT NEEDS TO BE STREAMLINED IN A MANNER THAT IT PRODUCES RESULTS AS SOON AS POSSIBLE.

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

This is very helpful for quick and fast automation. There are multiple features available that will be helpful during automation like Metabot, XML, queue feature, IQBot Bot Insight etc. It is easy to handle different applications and maintain the bot easily. Through bot insight we can track various BI and technical reports. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

There are not much downside only thing is that it needs more accuracy in IQBot and OCR. AI is also introduced but looking for more implication in that area. Some examples would be helpful with video tutorial. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Automation Anywhere - RPA | Robotic Process Automation:

Quick and easy solution to automate the manual process quickly.

Automated various manual process that are required in SAP. Other third party automation like for Remedy portal, Webased applications, Desktop based application etc. Manually the task is taking too long time and 8 hours approx but with Automation it can keep working for 24 hours and that too at higher speed.

Manually multiple resources required if they need to work in parallel. But with AA it needs only machine machines and no other resource is required. The running time is more time saving and output is more than manual work. Parallel working on bot on different machine generate more output. Bot can work 24 hour and in parallel to n number of machine will generate more output.

Good for repetitive steps that are performed manually. If manual intervention is required then bot need to be created in multiple versions. Triggering of bot can be handled based on input received after manual intervention. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

Automation Anywhere is so user-friendly. I have used other RPA tools but none could match with Automation Anywhere.

It is developer-oriented.

In A2019 we can connect to the same account using different credentials which is a very good feature according to me.

Before-after functionality in string operation command is very helpful.

OCR engines supported by Automation Anywhere are very accurate and helpful when it comes to extracting data from scanned invoices and images. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

A2019 is slightly disappointing because it cannot match to the user-friendliness of version 11.x. I understand that its a new version and Automation Anywhere are working hard to improve it.

Automation Anywhere needs to upgrade its Excel commands especially in areas like adding a new column in excel and deletion of Excel Sheets.

Setup for the Automation Anywhere control room is a little bit complex

In a2019 there is not pattern-based web recording yet.

Preprocessing and downloading dependencies takes a lot of time.

The bot agent used to get frequently disconnected from my device. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Automation Anywhere - RPA | Robotic Process Automation:

The best RPA tool to start your career with I have had a great learning experience and i have learnt a lot and will continue learning. Happy automation. GO BE GREAT. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Automation Anywhere - RPA | Robotic Process Automation solving and how is that benefiting you?

Invoice processing is so easy with automation anywhere. I have solved many cases related to Ui automation, Data entry, etc. However, I have used Excel automation the most I feel like I am getting better at it every day. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

There are a plenty for options available in Automation Anywhere, I have used other RPA tools also but I didn't find a variety of options like this. Especially, when are new to RPA - AA will be the best platform. You be a Java developer, SQL developer or whatever, you will easily understand the functionality of AA. Finally the best part is community edition, you can take your days and learn slowly. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

Tutorial videos are not much effective. Video required for variety of issues. It would be more useful if image recognition is available. At least a image comparison functionality is needed, which will be very useful in identifying a dashboard images, graphical images or even a icon or a picture that describes the category of a product or item. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Automation Anywhere - RPA | Robotic Process Automation:

I will definitely recommend to use AA, you can get the best in RPA and obviously its very easy to start with. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Automation Anywhere - RPA | Robotic Process Automation solving and how is that benefiting you?

I have just started with Automation Anywhere. The best part in AA is keyboard inputs and mouse inputs can also be recorded and implemented in bots. Even to get a value from file or mail, I don't need much code its as simple as few lines in AA. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

AA2019 does not have an inbuilt versioning system. Sometimes its takes time to deploy the process and bots get failed due to a slow internet connection. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

Right from the beginning the AA technical and account teams are focused on understanding the mission and business use case to tailor the platform offerings specific to customer needs. They work closely with the customer to build out a proof of technology which makes it easy to comprehend the AA platform capabilities in action through a use case that customer is familiar with. The platform itself it powerful yet simple and extremely easy to use. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

Not a downside or dislike as such, but in the roadmap it would be nice to see additional focus on integration - preferably API based integration with other tools and technologies such as AI and ML based models that customers might already have developed in their eco systems. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I would highly recommend AA RPA platform for everyone looking for adopting RPA for cost and workforce efficiencies Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Automation Anywhere - RPA | Robotic Process Automation solving and how is that benefiting you?

We started with a simple use case to automate repetitive and manual Help Desk support procedures. The AA platform allows to easily automate any repetitive and manual tasks through bots thus freeing up resources for other high skill tasks. We moved on to automate complex application workflows that require web scrapping and searching to automate parts of those workflows thus saving considerable manual effort and time resulting in workforce efficiencies.

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

The layout of the UI keeps the bot development simple and easy to navigate. Passing variables between tasks is very simple as well, speaking as someone transitioning from a web developer into an RPA developer, the university features everything you need to get started, and the support pages answer a lot of questions you have at the start. The online support team are also very helpful. Managing bot schedules, user accounts, credential values, etc, is very simple and straightforward within the online Control Panel environment. and with 2019, being able to access the control panel from any browser is going to prove very helpful, especially if we have to test a long running bot on the machine and still need something to continue working on. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

I've found that some of the tools can be a bit finicky at times, such as the Object Cloning tools, and can take some time to configure to work properly, and sometimes can work fine one day, but then not the next, which often leads to a lot of maintenance being required on existing bots. Some advice on how to make the OC tools more robust would go a long way. There is also a common problem whereby the facility that handles uploading to the repository, as well as downloading from the repository, often gives warnings of changes between live and online versions of tasks, but when we compare the 2 versions, they are exactly the same, which leads to time loss as we review our code to make sure nothing else has been going on during the development. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Automation Anywhere - RPA | Robotic Process Automation:

Definitely worth investing in and trialling, but be sure to allocate time and resource for maintenance and support Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Automation Anywhere - RPA | Robotic Process Automation solving and how is that benefiting you?

thanks to AA, after nearly 2 years of development and with a very small development team of 2, we've been able to save the company thousands of hours, and nearly £250k+ in efficiency savings alone, whilst giving valuable time back to our advisors and front facing staff members.
