We performed a comparison between Automation Anywhere (AA) and Eggplant Test based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two Robotic Process Automation (RPA) solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."For most of the cases that we have worked on, the application has been stable."
"Toward this life cycle, we have a very structured approach of governing, monitoring, and tracking, that's the approach we have taken. Insights we gain from this governance, we apply towards automation strategy and implementations. We've done this for many clients across the globe. We are happy to share those experiences with some of you as well."
"With the help of these features, we can automatically fetch data from invoices and websites, which is followed by the automated data entry into the webpage and ERP system."
"We have been able to reduce the amount of repetitive tasks completed by operations, allowing individuals to move onto tasks which cannot yet be automated."
"Improved Efficiency : Post RPA services, the efficiency and accuracy of the processes have increased tremendously and now the employees can focus more on important research and analysis work."
"The product has saved us a lot of time by reducing manually tasks, like entering data into Excel."
"The Control Room for the bots and its ability to connect bots with APIs are the most valuable features."
"The platform is easy to use, especially for business users."
"The solution is a stable one."
"Everything is happening on the layout or display that is used by the user. Eggplant prompts processes, like 'click here,' or 'look for this image.' Eggplant makes it possible for QA people and BAs, working in the actual display, to check if the software is providing the right images, the right text, and the right results. They don't have to go inside the code or to the TCP/IP layer. Everything is happening at the highest level."
"GUI testing is the strength of the tool. The tool works as expected, and the support response from eggPlant, as a company, has been quick and substantial."
"The solution is based on a Windows model, where adding users is just a few clicks. It is easy to manage users and add them."
"It provides very strong cross-platform support."
"The most valuable features of Eggplant Digital Automation Intelligence are bug hunting and OCR technology."
"The most valuable feature is the ability to create code from a flow chart, and then run the code through it."
"The main feature of Eggplant Test is that it can do fully automated web testing and app testing."
"PDF extraction and cognitive automation need improvement."
"The setup process is not easy compared to the competition, and this can be a barrier to entry."
"Cloud was one of the features we wanted to see, because it makes it much easier. The second feature is ease of use in terms of agnostic operating system."
"We have some ERPs tools which are not compatible with Automation Anywhere because they are legacy systems. We find that Automation Anywhere does not work with these at times. Just enabling the usability of Automation Anywhere on some of these legacy ERPs would help us, as we struggle regularly with this issue."
"The initial setup was complex because we had to make sure all the security aspects were approved by our leadership."
"The support and user community need improvement. For example, it would be nice to have a place for those who create bots to have a place to share information and success stories."
"Automation Anywhere courses are a little bit complex to understand. You need a little bit more time, and accessibility is also a little bit of an issue."
"Automation Anywhere can include database commands like insert row, bold row, etc commands in 11.x"
"It has low productivity."
"They need to update the Linux. I think it's kind of an outdated Java Swing application."
"The IDE could be even more full-featured. Because I was a developer, I was very spoiled by either Visual Studio Code or Visual Studio for shortcuts. For example, I was able to say "ctor" and hit Tab and it would create a template of a constructor for me... It would be great, when I want to create a new function, if there were shortcut commands like those that helped create all of the functions, or if there were shortcut features to do any of the complex plans."
"A step forward would be to have event support, because it is more or less linear at the moment."
"In terms of additional features, it would be helpful to have one package for all testing. You have the manager, the AI, then you have functional, and about 10 different packages for installing."
"Eggplant Digital Automation Intelligence could improve by lowering the price."
"We found that we had issues regarding the VPN setup, which is one of the reasons that we did not purchase this solution."
"I would like to see standardized actions already built into Eggplant. For example, "wait eight seconds". That way, I wouldn't need to create it as an action. Right now, I have to program that wait and describe it as an action so that everybody knows it is an action that waits eight seconds... That way, somebody who is not familiar with programming processes like "if-else", or "for", or "while", would be able, from the first moment, and without programming, to put some easy-to-use, standardized, actions in place."
