What do I think about the stability of the solution?
It is stable.
What do I think about the scalability of the solution?
Automation Anywhere is scalable.
How are customer service and support?
The technical support has been helpful, and we have not experienced any delays.
Which solution did I use previously and why did I switch?
We used Power Automate before switching to Automation Anywhere as per the client's request.
How was the initial setup?
The initial setup is straightforward and takes one or two days to deploy.
What was our ROI?
I believe our clients do see a return on investment because they continue to use the solution for their automation needs.

I think the pricing is reasonable, but clients often perceive it as expensive. This perception might change once we see the benefits, understand the full process, and realize what is required to achieve our goals.
What other advice do I have?
I give Automation Anywhere an eight out of ten. Power Automate has better cloud flows.
For those who prefer API integration over robotic process automation, I would use an API if it's more logical to do so. It all depends on the situation. If I need to fill some Excel documents, I will use bots; and if I need to display that data on a web page, I will use APIs if available.
Which deployment model are you using for this solution?

RPA software that's easy to use and understand, even for first-time users
Pros and Cons
- "This RPA software has good scalability and stability, is easy to understand and easy to use, even for users who have no experience with automation software."
- "Automation Anywhere (AA) is easy to use and understand, even if the user didn't have previous experience with RPA (robotic process automation) software before."
- "Setup and deployment of this product could be difficult for those without experience. These processes should be made easier."
- "The setup and deployment processes for this product also need to be improved, e.g. made easier."
What is our primary use case?
We are a factory and supplier corporation, e.g. we focus on the financial and automation niche, but mostly financial. Our service is implementing automation, e.g. we implement Automation Anywhere (AA) for customers. It's a tool for automating processes.
What is most valuable?
Automation Anywhere (AA) is easy to use and understand, even if the user didn't have previous experience with RPA (robotic process automation) software before. This solution has many tools for automation. It's good even if you're just starting with RPA software, e.g. we don't have to decide on the whole productivity process, so we can put in the costs step by step first, then put in the details after.
Other solutions require you to know the codes first and make decisions on the whole process. This means that with other RPA solutions, if the user doesn't have the experience, it will be difficult for them to use and decide on those automation programs, which is not the case with Automation Anywhere (AA).
What needs improvement?
An area for improvement for Automation Anywhere (AA) is its organization or utilization, because if it's your first time to initiate automation, you have to convert it properly, and you have to develop the amendment path through the automation path, but you have to pay a subscription for it first. The first part is difficult because if you buy the full package without having much experience with the product, it could be difficult to utilize the process from manual to automation.
There are some limitations in the migration from the manual process to automation, because currently, Automation Anywhere (AA) is trying to develop transfer from on-premises to cloud. There's a limitation in migration.
The setup and deployment processes for this product also need to be improved, e.g. made easier.
For how long have I used the solution?
I worked with Automation Anywhere (AA) before, and I helped a developer team provide it to the customer, and that was last year. We implemented it. I've been dealing with the solution in the last two years, but changed my focus to analytic solutions for a year.
What do I think about the stability of the solution?
Automation Anywhere (AA) is a stable tool.
What do I think about the scalability of the solution?
Scalability for this tool is good.
How was the initial setup?
It's difficult to set up Automation Anywhere (AA) on the on-premises environment. It's also difficult to make preparations for it. You have to be ready so it can support the automation process. That was what people experienced in the on-premises deployment, but I'm unsure how it is when it's set up on cloud. Setup could be easier if it's done on the Cloud.
If you have a person who knows the utilities of this solution, setup will take one to two weeks.
What's my experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing?
Our clients are paying for a yearly subscription of Automation Anywhere (AA).
What other advice do I have?
Automation Anywhere (AA) is very easy to understand, but automation is something new here in Thailand.
We have 20 clients using this solution. For deployment and maintenance, we have a technical team made up of 10 people, with one vision analyst.
We have an automation hypercare team responsible for supporting customers after we've deployed Automation Anywhere (AA).
I would recommend this tool to others who want to start using it, because it's a good tool.
I'm giving Automation Anywhere (AA) a score of eight out of ten.
Which deployment model are you using for this solution?
On-premises

Integrates well with OCR engines, simple integration, and good support
Pros and Cons
- "The integrations with the OCR engines in Automation Anywhere are quite powerful, and they have helped us in many projects."
- "The solution could improve the integration with some web applications. It was difficult to manage them."
What is our primary use case?
We deploy Automation Anywhere in both on-premise and on the cloud. In past, most customers have preferred the on-premise deployment, but the latest version, which is 2019, is becoming popular because it's on the cloud.
The customers who are using the earlier version, they're on-premise and new customers are using the cloud version. The trend is moving onto the cloud rather than on-premise.
A few of our use cases for Automation Anywhere are for the HR departments, onboarding process, finance domain, month-end reports, ledger update, and AP automation.
What is most valuable?
The integrations with the OCR engines in Automation Anywhere are quite powerful. It has helped us in many projects.
What needs improvement?
The solution could improve the integration with some web applications. It was difficult to manage them.

What do I think about the stability of the solution?
Automation Anywhere is stable. We have customers that have been using it for years and they have not had any issues.
What do I think about the scalability of the solution?
I have found Automation Anywhere to be highly scalable.
How are customer service and support?
I have not personally contacted the support, but I heard from colleagues that the support is good.
How was the initial setup?
The initial installation is simple.
What other advice do I have?
I would recommend this solution to others, it is one of the leaders in the market at this time when it comes to RP platforms.
I rate Automation Anywhere an eight out of ten.

Improved our efficiency and saved on manual hours
Pros and Cons
- "The most valuable feature is the task bots because we found that cognitive functionality can be improvised."
- "AA has improved our efficiency and saved on manual hours because no manual interaction is required."
- "Scaling from small to medium automation works well, but if building out very big applications, sometimes the code can be too lengthy and uncontrollable."
What is our primary use case?
I use this solution to script and update website data and work with databases such as SQL. We also use IQ Bot extensively to script data from PDF files.
How has it helped my organization?
AA has improved our efficiency and saved on manual hours because no manual interaction is required.
What is most valuable?
The most valuable feature is the task bots because we found that cognitive functionality can be improvised.
What needs improvement?
An area for improvement would be that, once the code goes beyond 1,000 lines, it becomes really tough for a programmer to keep track of what is happening with the variables. I think they should add some kind of inbuilt modularization to help programmers keep track of what is happening.
For how long have I used the solution?
I've been using this solution for two-and-a-half years, and we switched to A360 a couple of months ago.
What do I think about the stability of the solution?
There are some bugs in the system, but AA's stability is improving day by day.
What do I think about the scalability of the solution?
I think scaling from small to medium automation works well, but if building out very big applications, sometimes the code can be too lengthy and uncontrollable.
How are customer service and support?
AA's technical support can vary - most of the time, it's good, but sometimes it's tough to get your issue addressed.
What about the implementation team?
I implemented using an in-house team, with support available from AA if required.
Which other solutions did I evaluate?
We evaluated UiPath.
What other advice do I have?
I'd rate this product as eight out of ten.
Which deployment model are you using for this solution?

Lot's of room for improvement; not customer-friendly
Pros and Cons
- "The technical support is good, and we have not had any issues."
- "The initial setup is difficult because Automation Anywhere does not have a GitHub integration. They need to build a patch for that."
- "Automation Anywhere has a lot of room for improvement. It is not customer-friendly."
What needs improvement?
Automation Anywhere has a lot of room for improvement. It is not customer-friendly. They are always rolling out patches. They have a lot of limitations.
For how long have I used the solution?
We have been using Automation Anywhere for the past three years.
What do I think about the stability of the solution?
Stability-wise, Automation Anywhere is stable, but that is what an end solution should be. It should be user-friendly and accessible, particularly when it comes to automation.
How are customer service and support?
The technical support is good. We have not had any issues.
Which solution did I use previously and why did I switch?
Before Automation Anywhere, we were working on HP products, like QTP, and then LoadRunner.
How was the initial setup?
The initial setup is difficult because Automation Anywhere does not have a GitHub integration. They need to build a patch for that. From the end point users' point of view, it leaves a bad impression.
What's my experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing?
Automation Anywhere's price is a little expensive. Moreover, it comes on like a single/set license. It should come in perpetual licenses. If a license is not getting used, then it has to be switched over to some other process. In cases like this, Automation Anywhere does not come up. I think they lose a lot of business because they do not use a perpetual model.
Which deployment model are you using for this solution?
