Quotes From Members
We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"It really does have a great dashboard. It has Bot Insight, it has MetaBots, and IQ Bots. It has so many features where it can read a file and loop.""The way templates can be configured is quite simple - it's a matter of drag and drop.""Our experience with technical support at Automation Anywhere has been great. They have been very helpful, especially during the PoC, processes which are sort of early on in their sales cycle, or when we were just starting with Automation Anywhere a couple of years ago. We got great support for getting it onboarded in-house and getting our team up to speed. So, we have found it to be a great partnership.""The error handling and troubleshooting are very good. It is easy for a developer to know what happened in any particular line of code.""The ease of use and its ability to change the code when something in the main process or core process changes. The ease of use is really good.""At the most granular level, automating people's daily tasks has been helpful by freeing them up to do higher value-add activities, which is definitely beneficial.""It helps improve performance and helps companies save time and money.""We found that RPA with additional AI capabilities, such as machine learning and Computer Vision, can enable the organization to augment existing business operations by creating efficiencies and improving the accuracy of data to be processed, without changing too much of the existing system."

"The solution is scalable.""We like that we don't need a separate management tool. This is a good feature. It also has an inbuilt performance tool which is on Flash. It has very good record and playback feature as well. The inspection tool is also very good. Overall, since it comes with all the three packages, it's very good.""The function test feature is valuable.""Has good automation and load-testing capabilities.""OpenScript has many features that make it useful, including the ability to record and playback.""We find the front-end interface of this solution to be very user-friendly, meaning easy navigation even for novice users.""I like the functional testing. There's a product inside OATS called OLT, Oracle Load Testing. You can do the load testing without depending on any other tool""User friendly UI / Tree view to work with adding steps."

Cons
"Queue management is still missing from the latest version which is a barrier to using the platform to start implementing complex cases where you have parent and child transactions going through multiple stages.""We would like it to be more user-friendly.""We need a better way of getting upgrades or defect fixes. It is creating problems for us, as we have to go for a completely new version. Maintaining and managing existing bots, then coming up with new ones takes a lot of time. We would rather have a batch fix than an installation to an installation.""The Image Recognition functionality should be enhanced to improve the accuracy of checkboxes.""With Automation Anywhere, it took us a bit of time to stand it up initially. We tried to do it in a virtual environment, which caused us a bit of headache. It could have been smoother in this aspect.""I would like more integration with Microsoft Excel. More screenshots that can be integrated with Excel would help our customers too.""The conversion time of invoices to JSON File should take less time using AA2019 IQBot, the report file creation feature should be added into IQ Bot A2019.""Because we are very new to our process, so we're still sort of working through it."

More Automation Anywhere (AA) Cons →

"If there's a feature we want in OATS that's missing and we report that to Oracle, it takes a long time.""Oracle Application Testing Suite could improve by offering desktop-based application automation. It is lacking in this area at the moment.""The pathfinding at times is slow when we are using it. The tool's performance can be improved.""I would like to see better dashboards.""The dashboards need to be simplified and made more user-friendly.""We would like to see the instruction documentation made into video or audio formats, to help new users get used to the modules.""Oracle Application Testing Suite does encounter some lag. When I am trying to record something, the tool gets stuck.""Lacks patches for new OS systems and doesn't work on a Mac."

Pricing and Cost Advice
  • "Pricing is too high for small-scale groups. The Control Room yearly fee is high, making it difficult to break even."
  • "Automation Anywhere is competitive... Pega is somewhat comparable, but Pega also requires a lot more infrastructure and a lot more experience to get up and running."
  • "Automation Anywhere is costlier than the general competition. That is aligned with the share of the market it has."
  • "They're very flexible around pricing and licensing."
  • "They give us a good deal on the licensing because we bundle and customize things. If you ask to get a bulk business deal, you will receive more benefit. If you take other products from the suite, like IQ Bot, you can also receive a deal on the licensing."
  • "We just did a round of price comparison on a global scale and found it's so hard to compare the license prices. But, Automation Anywhere, in general, is on the same price level as the other vendors, a bit lower in some cases."
  • "If you look at the capital expenditure, Automation Anywhere is number two to UiPath. But if you take a long-term view, on a scalable model of a large number of bots coming out, it slowly goes on to become the costliest tool. There is something they can do about that. The capital expenditure goes out right at the point of buying the tool. For Automation Anywhere, I would need to spend $20,000. UiPath can give me something for $6,000, while Blue Prism will come in at $300,000."
  • "It's cheaper than other similar solutions."

  • "ORACLE is giving at a very competitive rates to all its customers, and its a simple licensing process."
  • "There are no costs in addition to the standard licensing fees."
  • "The price of the Oracle Application Testing Suite is not expensive. It is less expensive than other solutions."
  • "Customers need to negotiate properly to get the tool at a lower price."
  • "The complete package, including load testing and performance analysis, has a licensing fee."
