Automation Anywhere caters to business users with its user-friendly interface, allowing them to build automation with minimal technical expertise. Our large business user community exemplifies this – after a five-day training program with hands-on exercises, they're empowered to independently develop their own automation within three to four days. This highlights the platform's ease of use from a business user perspective.

Automation Anywhere makes it easy for business users without coding skills. It offers a low-code product that allows citizen developers to create bots without writing a single line of code. These developers can drag and drop information to automate activities, streamlining tasks like financial operations and daily routines. By providing basic details about the properties they need to operate, citizen developers can quickly build bots that can be deployed to production and triggered manually or automatically. This technology empowers individuals to create multiple bots tailored to specific needs, such as HR bots or onboarding processes. In the financial industry, it facilitates daily validation activities and data transfers between servers.
View full review »Automation Anywhere's most valuable feature is its ease of use. It's easy to envision a solution or process to transform with Automation Anywhere from end to end. We can realize the value much faster because it's easy to use and understand.
View full review »Automation Anywhere is user-friendly with its concept of even C-level executives can try automating tasks in five minutes, which is a great marketing strategy. However, for professionals in sectors like banking who design critical mission bots, deeper knowledge is necessary, including logging, API calls, etc. Automation Anywhere's best features are sufficient for newbies or those needing quick implementations.

Automation Anywhere is easy to learn for someone who does not have technical skills. Other technologies require us to learn syntax and other things. Many things are there, whereas in Automation Anywhere, we can just select an action. Within one or two months, one can easily understand and work on it. With basic coding knowledge, we can easily automate. Compared to other technologies, it is very easy to learn.
View full review »It's the second-easiest platform we use. Blue Prism is the easiest for non-technical users, but Automation Anywhere is also straightforward. It has a drag-and-drop interface that helps people who have used visual tools and a recorder for rudimentary task automation. If you're not a professional developer and haven't gone through the process yet, it's pretty easy to build a bot without much training.

View full review »It is built keeping business users in mind. Every single human being who uses a computer uses a UI, so automating those clicks is not a very complicated thing. You are just telling the computer what to do. In that respect, they try to make it as simple as possible to use things like Excel, send emails with Outlook, and automate clicks on a computer. That part is done well.

Comparing Automation Anywhere with other tools for RPA, in my opinion, it is better because it is easier to use for both the final user and the developer.

For people who don't have technical skills, Automation Anywhere may take time when it comes to browsing or loading time, and sometimes becomes very buggy with unwanted failures.
View full review »The Automation Anywhere interface is very simple to use as compared to others in the market. Non-technical users can understand Automation Anywhere easily because it is easy to grasp, but if a non-technical person tries to develop or read the code to understand the business problem, it might be hard. For example, we provide a process definition document (PDD) to non-technical persons such as business analysts who may have a less technical background. This document includes a high-level overview of the process, allowing them to understand the code better. Thus, it still requires some technical knowledge to fully grasp the business problems when using Automation Anywhere.

This is not available in other RPA tools such as UiPath, which makes it a standout feature.

Business users find Automation Anywhere manageable to use; since 2016, it has evolved from an engineering tool filled with tech jargon until around mid-2020 to a platform that is much more business-friendly and closer to the customer's mindset.

The infrastructure that Automation Anywhere has created is really simple. Compared to other tools such as Power Automate, it is more user-friendly and faster.
View full review »The best features in Automation Anywhere that I really appreciate are found in the basic module for pure RPA, such as the recorder function, which helps in making automation even easier. No coding is required; you are just doing things, and the recorder records your movements and actions, creating the code out of that. This makes preparing RPAs faster.

View full review »Their vision is promising, but the product requires significant improvements in maturity and usability. I'm concerned that the product is not user-friendly. They continue to release new features, but end users struggle to adapt to them. This indicates a lagging development in product usability.
View full review »One area that could be better is the user interface and the overall user experience. Business users who are not deeply technical on the platform sometimes feel overwhelmed with too many menus, options, and configurations.
View full review »The system is very easy to use. I recently completed a course in document automation, typically designed for people involved in coding and technical aspects. Though I understand coding comprehensively, I don't do actual coding. The course was very accessible. Currently, extensive coding isn't necessary due to the hybrid model incorporating GenAI aspects, low-code, no-code capabilities, APIs, and numerous pre-built objects in Automation Anywhere. The features include GenAI-driven prompting methods and workflow creation capabilities. In these workflows, we can create decision boxes and call APIs without coding. We simply pull objects, drop them, connect them, and add minimal coding when needed. The most crucial aspect isn't coding but rather sizing the automation and fleshing out the details.

View full review »It is solely within a technical team, but it is quite useful for demoing the code. Business users can follow along because depending on the view that you use, you can use it as a flow with screenshots for the different UI elements that you have interacted with. It is really useful to show that this is the button that we are clicking and it is going to do X, and then they can follow that along, almost in the way a design diagram would work.
View full review »We actually have some citizen developers in our organization who develop entire processes on Automation Anywhere, even with very little knowledge of how RPA works. During the migration, I had the opportunity to meet some of these business users when they came to India a couple of months back, and we had the same conversation that Automation Anywhere was very user-friendly compared to Power Automate, which is something everyone appreciated.

It is drag-and-drop and low-code, no-code only, so they can easily drag and drop and build simple projects. Sometimes they need some logic things, and if they are very skilled in logical thinking, they can build it without technical knowledge.

For a few users, I had to explain how to get inside the machine and how to trigger the automation in the case of attended execution, where they were running the automations by themselves. Apart from that, there were no major things that needed to be handled by the end-users, so those were pretty easy for them.
