We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"When our organization switched to Automation Anywhere, the accuracy rate improved and consequently, there has not been much data loss.""I'm impressed with the scalability. We are able to do changes. We are able to scale from different environments now with the Control Room in version 10 and 11. The scalability is pretty good. It is up to the mark of the other market competitors.""The reporting capabilities are pretty nice.""This solution saves time when completing our pharmaceutical processes, which allows things to progress faster to the FDA.""The bots we implement free up our time that we spent doing manual processing for other progressive purposes.""The OCR is the most valuable feature, though this is a third party feature that we have integrated. It is quite easy to integrate with other solutions.""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.""With Discovery Bot, we can even have our business people enabled with process finding and do an evaluation on whether it can be converted into an opportunity."

"The tool’s scalability is very good.""SoapUI Pro is a good tool when it comes to API design and orchestration. Additionally, it is beneficial for functional and for performance testing.""The most valuable features are that it is user-friendly, it's easy to use and easy to teach to others.""The out-of-the-box support for the database is a valuable feature.""The interface is user-friendly.""API mockups, functional testing, and load testing are valuable features.""The Pro and free version of SoapUI Pro has good technical support.""We used to write our own solutions, from small scripts to task web services, so this saves us thousands of hours."

Cons
"We are still looking into some of its current capabilities, like IT Bot.""Setting up Automation Anywhere is a bit complex.""IQ Bot has some limitations that should be improved in future releases.""We would like to have more ease of use for the operations team.""The IQ Bot could use improvement.""I am looking for artificial intelligence and machine learning. I hope that they introduce them in A2019. I'm looking forward to what will be there in A2019 because that's the area that we need to go forward. We are looking for Automation Anywhere to put up their efforts to make it easier by incorporating artificial intelligence and machine learning. Along with RPA, this would make our automation journey very easy. We can bring more processes into automation, that's where I am looking for automation to focus on.""We had initial hiccups, like any new process. It took us six to eight months to sort the product out.""I would like to have the MetaBot screen name title dynamic instead of static."

More Automation Anywhere (AA) Cons →

"Could integrate the graphing module for load testing.""Automation features are not user-friendly.""It is limited to scope and risk services only. It does have some support for JMS, but it is not out-of-the-box; you have to do some tweaks here and there.""The current interface is unsatisfactory.""The documentation needs to be improved because the interface is not easy for a first-time user.""If the load and bare minimum could be defined, I would give this solution a higher rating.""SoapUI Pro is a little heavy due to the number of features. Previously it was not that heavy. Now the tool is too heavy, they should work on fixing this issue because until your system has lots of resources, you won't be able to use it seamlessly. The performance of the application itself could improve.""There are no bugs or glitches, but a few features available only in the Pro version could be made available in the open-source version. Some of the features do not necessarily need to be only available to Pro users. The data generator would be really useful for the open-source version users."

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."
  • More Automation Anywhere (AA) Pricing and Cost Advice →

  • "The cost is not that bad."
  • "I think the number of users is also limited, considering how much we pay."
  • "My understanding is that the pricing is okay, however, that's taken care of by our procurement team. It's around $5,000 for three years."
  • "The Pro version can be expensive for some companies. There are no costs in addition to the licensing fees."
  • "We have team members who are working in shifts, and it is not possible for us to utilize a single license on a single piece of hardware so that multiple team members can use it. We have to take out multiple licenses for each team member."
  • "SoapUI Pro is open source but it has a subscription-based model which involves some more features. At the moment we are using the free version. The Pro version requires a license, and it is an annual license to use it."
  • "ReadyAPI Test is about $680 per user, per year."
  • "It is free of charge."
