5,514 Automation Anywhere - RPA | Robotic Process Automation Reviews
RPA is one of the fastest growing fields today. As we move towards a digital economy, all processes are getting automated. And RPA is being used in every sector : from machine learning to risk analysis.
Therefore whether it is a business associate or a programmer we all encounter RPA in our life. Therefore for that reason Automation Anywhere is the perfect tool for doing RPA Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
I don't dislike anything about Automation Anywhere. It is a great tool to work with. It allows to automate a lot of redundant tasks and that is the reason it works so well with almost all processes that I run! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
IT GIVES YOU THE KIND OF CONTROL TO AUTOMATE THE PROCESS WHICH IS REPETITIVE AND TIME-CONSUMING. NOT ONLY THAT ABILITY TO DEFINE THE NEXT STEP OR THE NEXT PROCESS OR THE NEXT ABILITY TO UNDERSTAND HOW NATURE OF HUMAN INTERACTION WITH THE MACHINES GIVE A WONDERFUL OPPORTUNITY TO EXPLORE A NEW WORLD OF ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE AND MACHINE LEARNING TOGETHER FOR THE BETTERMENT OF THE HUMAN LIFE Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
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. THE DRAGE AND DROP FACILITY SHOULD ALSO BE PROVIDED FOR DEVELOPMENT OF ROBOTIC PROCESS MODULES AND ALSO TRE SHOULD MULTIPLE TEST ENVIRONMENTS FOR MOBILITY SHOULD ALSO BE INCLUDED IN THE TOOLS ITSELF. WE NEED TO ALSO CHECK THAT THE INFORMATION CONTAINS IN THE TESTING MODULES SHOULD HAVE A CONTEXT SENSITIVE HELP AS PER THE TEST AND DEPLOYMENT SCENARIO. AND WE SHOULD ABLE TO TEST IN DIFFERENT ENVIRONMENTS AND PLATFORMS. WHILE DOING THAT IT SHOULD ABLE TO MAINTAIN THE RECORDS OR VERSIONING OF TEST AND DEVELOPMENT PROCESSES INCLUDING THE CODE DEVELOPMENT CUSTOMIZATION AS PER THE INDIVIDUAL PROCESS OF PROGRAM DEVELOPMENT. WHILE PERFORMING THE TASK DURING THE EXECUTION, THE PROCESS FOR OPTIMIZING AND MEMORY MANAGEMENT SHOULD ALSO BE PROVIDED IN THE TOOLS ITSELF. DIFFERENT SUGGESTIVE OPTION SHOULD BE GIVEN FOR RAPID APPLICATION DEVELOPMENT. APPLICATION SHOULD GIVE INSTRUCTION HOW TO MAKE OR AUTOMATE THE PROCESS IN MINIMUM TIME AND MAXIMUM OUTPUT AS PER THE REQUIREMENT AND THESE REQUIREMENTS CAN BE FINE-TUNED AT RUNTIME OR TEST TIME.

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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.

AA2019 offers many actions that were not present in the previous version. Comparing flow in flowchart and list is very useful.There are many lastest data types which we use such as data table.Also new outlook feature is awesome to directly send emails. 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.
Automation Anywhere is the best robotic tool, which is easy to understand and follow. It is user friendly. The best part of the university is they provide courses to understand the tool and make the best use of it.With the help of this tool it saves time ,the task which requires more time by doing it manually that can be easily completed with the help of AA. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
I feel installation is bit complex. The control Room is very complicated to setup Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
I liked the way how the help text is available for all the developers. It is a easy way for a beginner to learn while working Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Work queues concept need to be improved. Where other RPA tools have the good queue concept and functionality. Hope AA will improve its queue features Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
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.
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.

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.

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.
