What do I think about the stability of the solution?

We haven't had any trouble with stability.

What do I think about the scalability of the solution?

This is a scalable solution.

We have ten or eleven people using this solution. Right now, they are admins and developers, as we have not given access to end-users yet.

How are customer service and support?

I haven't had a chance to interact with technical support yet. The community support is good.

How was the initial setup?

In terms of difficulty, I would say that the initial setup is in the middle. It is not too complex, yet not too simple, either. It took us about two days to deploy, which included performing the discovery and applying it.

What's my experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing?

The pricing model could be simplified.

What other advice do I have?

Automation Anywhere is the leading RPA solution right now.

At this point, it is too early for me to officially recommend it. However, at this moment, based on what I have seen so far, I recommend it.

I would rate this solution an eight out of ten.

Which deployment model are you using for this solution?

Good pricing and easy to apply, but stability needs improvement
Pros and Cons
  • "The solution is easy to use and easy to apply."
  • "The stability needs to be improved."

What is our primary use case?

We primarily use the solution for our internal stations.

What is most valuable?

The solution is easy to use and easy to apply.

What needs improvement?

The stability needs to be improved.

For how long have I used the solution?

I've been using the solution for three months.

What do I think about the stability of the solution?

The solution needs improved stability.

What do I think about the scalability of the solution?

The solution is very scalable.

How are customer service and technical support?

Technical support is very good.

Which solution did I use previously and why did I switch?

We didn't use a different solution. This is the first evaluation we did and we decided to go with it.

How was the initial setup?

Deployment took about a month and a half because it's a controlled pilot that we're running, so we weren't officially signed up with authorization in Europe.

What's my experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing?

The pricing is very good. I'd actually pay a higher price; I think it's worth more. 

They have another retention fee that compensates for the standard licensing fee. There is another that can extract fees as well.

What other advice do I have?

We're using the enterprise version of the solution and an unfinished deployment model.

I'd rate the solution six out of ten. To give it a higher rating, the solution needs to boost its public services and machine capabilities.

In terms of advice, I'd give to others considering implementation, I'd say that they need to trust the methods. Consider things early to find the gaps properly.
