Nadeem K. - PeerSpot reviewer
Rpa Developer at a consultancy with 11-50 employees
Automation has freed teams from repetitive finance and supply tasks and supports global operations
In the current organization, we had trouble initially because I think the documentation and support could be better than what it is now. This is one difference between Automation Anywhere and other RPA tools such as UiPath. In UiPath, if you have an issue, you go to the UiPath website and search for it, and you get lots of help materials. In Automation Anywhere, you do not get exactly what you are looking for. You get a very large number of results when you search for something, and from this large result set, you have to filter out what you need, or only partial information will be available. User handbooks are available for each product. In that regard, I would say Automation Anywhere is lagging compared to other RPA tools. It is difficult to get hold of their customer support team. I want to clarify that it is not a matter of us building logic on Automation Anywhere and it failing. When it is a product-related issue, they have to give us support because we only know how to develop within Automation Anywhere. We do not know how to fix Automation Anywhere itself. Whenever we have an issue, trying to get in touch with them always takes three to four business days.
Timothy Soares - PeerSpot reviewer
Channels and Payments Administrator at Finabank N.V.
It's a good solution for those with limited coding experience
The visualization of the data pages could be improved. You have to a lot of tweaking to make the visualization stand out. It's basic, but there are a lot of options. So you really have to do a lot of customizing on that part. They could add some templates that are more attractive than the basic ones. It would be helpful if you could start with something that's already built rather than working on standard templates from scratch.
Sunny Nair - PeerSpot reviewer
Solution Architect And Senior Consultant at Keysight Technologies
Automated weekly analytics have improved case tracking and boosted research productivity
In terms of customization and requesting features that need to be enabled, the process is longer than ideal. As a user, I have very limited access rights to Salesforce Platform, which limits my capability. If a user were granted access to consume more features from Salesforce Platform and the system could show exactly who needs to grant that particular access, that would be a very good improvement. If I need to gain access to a specific feature within Salesforce Platform, it should point me to who in my organization manages it. If the system is able to tell me who exactly is managing it, I can get in touch with that particular user to understand whether I can gain access. This particular feature seems to be lacking, not only in Salesforce Platform, but in any CRM application.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"Our ROI has ranged from thousands to hundreds of thousands, depending on the type of process being automated."
"By using this, we are saving time and we no need to do routine work, as it is now automated and the result is shared with all of the end-users."
"Since it is based on the cloud, it is a highly scalable product. It is easy to deploy, has a very good UI, and the bots can be easily deployed with no issues."
"Sometimes the customer will not provide any data. Using Automation Anywhere, we can easily automate to capture the customer data. Then, we can use that customer data inside the Cisco Unified Wire Voice Portal."
"We have automated that complete process of code review. The bot is solving the problem of ensuring the compliance of reviewing code. People use to generally skip the code review process, because it was exhaustive. Bots can review the complete standards of the code, whatever is there, ensuring the compliance and eventually saving time."
"For an organization who is looking to do some business renovation, the solution can work well depending on its purpose and usage."
"We are able to satisfy our clients in ways that we did not think was possible."
"It helps improve performance and helps companies save time and money."
"Caspio was user-friendly compared to other solutions, and as someone who doesn't know a lot about coding, I found it easy to create a web application on this platform."
"There is very good documentation available and Salesforce offers good communication with its clients. It's very user-friendly and has a system that is easy to learn."
"The lead conversion process in Salesforce Sales Cloud is extremely valuable."
"I like the reports and the dashboards. Since I'm a managing partner, I use the reports and dashboards to understand my team's contact management, opportunity management, and account management activities. We use Pardot for marketing campaigns."
"We use this solution to track customer activities, opportunities and contact information."
"he solution has improved over the years and the inputting of opportunity information is done a lot better and the GUI is good. The ability to customize dashboards and other elements was useful, we were able to move things around, for example, the forecasts. Most of the cells and input places were set, but we can customize the view and what we were looking at, such as on a daily, or weekly basis."
"We like that everything is in it, as it's a very robust product that can be used for many things, the solution is easy to use, the initial setup is very easy, and it's stable."
"The support is very good."
"Stability is more than adequate."
 

Cons

"We have a third bot which takes longer being automated than it did with the human process."
"Automation Anywhere is unable to connect to the database directly. What we are doing now is directly writing the PL/SQL scripts and trying to push the data from the database into Automation Anywhere. This feature is available in UiPath, but not in Automation Anywhere."
"Automation Anywhere should add a couple of commands which will help most developers not to always use a script, a good example is in String operations."
"One way Automation Anywhere can be improved is in ticketing; I have a couple of tickets that have been outstanding for a while, and the support staff have closed tickets without checking with me first, which has been a sore spot."
"I think Automation Anywhere could be improved by addressing the learning curve, as it is a little complex to start using it, especially for people new to automation tools."
"In the learning track, I was looking at the latest feature which is coming in A2019, which is very nice, because it is a web-based. So, we can do our development while sitting from anywhere. We don't need any type of installation. It's a web-based. Nowadays, everyone has the Internet."
"The pricing, setup cost, and licensing of the platform are the worst. This is my major concern and complaint."
"We experienced continuous bot disconnections in our environment."
"The visualization of the data pages could be improved. You have to a lot of tweaking to make the visualization stand out. It's basic, but there are a lot of options. So you really have to do a lot of customizing on that part. They could add some templates that are more attractive than the basic ones. It would be helpful if you could start with something that's already built rather than working on standard templates from scratch."
"The visualization of the data pages could be improved. You have to do a lot of tweaking to make the visualization stand out."
"Salesforce is a pretty cumbersome product. It's a product that you need to spend quite a bit of time customizing to your unique business model. Unless you have somebody in house that knows it really well, you're better off spending money with a consultant to get what you need."
"It could have a lot more customization options in terms of fonts and reports. There should be an even lighter version with just two or three fields. It could be a bit more light if the field guys want to use it on a mobile phone on the road. For deploying it for CRM, maybe we can have our customer database, project funnels, and projects to help us in managing our supply chain business."
"The solution offers upgrades at a slower pace. The solution needs to keep up with competitors."
"It could have a lot more customization options in terms of fonts and reports."
"I think the search needs to be improved so as to allow for a broader keyword search."
"I feel like some things are overly complicated for no reason, as there are much simpler ways to achieve the same goal."
"The interface could be more user-friendly and offer more customization."
"An improved UX may be helpful in the solution's next release."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The setup and licensing cost is affordable, and it is not exaggerated like UiPath."
"We would like them to change the license model of charging per bot."
"It is not cheap, but we are able to get an ROI."
"I am not involved in the pricing, but based on what I hear from our central RPA team, it is not very expensive; it is also not cheap. Its price is in the midrange."
"The solution itself is free unless we want to add the support option but we have to pay for the bots we use."
"The cloud-based version comes at an increased cost, although our clients are happy with the new features and have not complained about the pricing."
"I'm not sure what the monthly licensing cost is, as that is taken care of by another team, but I would say it's around $100,000."
"Pricing is too high for small-scale groups. The Control Room yearly fee is high, making it difficult to break even."
Information not available
"The price varies depending on the cloud."
"The solution is a bit expensive."
"The solution is fairly priced."
"For the number of people that are using Salesforce Platform in my organization, I feel the price is reasonable."
"It is a fair price for what it's offering, in comparison with other solutions that are available on the market."
"Pricing and license differ and depend on how much license you are purchasing from them."
"Pricing for the Salesforce Platform is too expensive."
"It is quite expensive. Its developers come at a premium cost, which makes it expensive."
