Venkat Sivaprakash

Management Consultant at Accenture

Has significantly improved document-driven workflows and reduced processing time across finance and HR functions

Automation Anywhere has evolved significantly and upgraded itself to provide agentic AI and AI-based automation solutions for document automation. The product has matured considerably over time. We can create workflows that can call an API. We can include prompts in particular workflows for ChatGPT-related functions, connecting to an LLM and RAG to perform tasks. For document automation, modern features are available to train documents, ensuring high accuracy and repeatability over time. The system is very easy to use. I recently completed a course in document automation, typically designed for people involved in coding and technical aspects. Though I understand coding comprehensively, I don't do actual coding. The course was very accessible. Currently, extensive coding isn't necessary due to the hybrid model incorporating GenAI aspects, low-code, no-code capabilities, APIs, and numerous pre-built objects in Automation Anywhere. The features include GenAI-driven prompting methods and workflow creation capabilities. In these workflows, we can create decision boxes and call APIs without coding. We simply pull objects, drop them, connect them, and add minimal coding when needed. The most crucial aspect isn't coding but rather sizing the automation and fleshing out the details. Automation Co-pilot takes notes and performs automated analysis. It can extract details from videos, summarize conversations, and provide detailed information. During calls, it identifies instructions and performs tasks such as preparing reports and reconciliation. Automation Anywhere can also connect with Microsoft Co-pilot. Through Co-pilot, real-time operations can be executed, allowing direct interaction between vendors and automation through this component.

A stable and clever solution, but it is very complex and it needs a lot of improvements

There are a lot of things that need improvement. Software recognition, software licensing, software compliance, data inputs, reporting, and support are some of the areas. It needs a discovery tool of its own. You have to get that from other Micro Focus products, which means you have to pay more to get those products.

Product Line Manager at a tech consulting company with 11-50 employees

Unified monitoring has improved event handling but needs stronger AI automation and modern dashboards

OpenText AI Operations Management could benefit from a fully integrated AI system, which we call AIOps. A fully integrated AI operations system would be valuable in the future. Additionally, the UI experience could be more comfortable. We are not using predictive features in OpenText AI Operations Management such as anomaly detection. In the future, we may be able to operate with our customer, but we need to decide this collectively. You need to see the big picture and understand what the customer's pain points are to find the right tuning. Normally, predictive features can be more useful, but this is an end-to-end solution that needs to be customized. You need to understand the exact customer needs. The predictive analytics feature is very close to being integrated, but it is not fully integrated at this time.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"Adding Automation Anywhere is a tremendous value-add in the long-term."

"We've noticed time savings of up to 40 minutes, based on wait time and verification delays."

"We have benefitted a lot now, but expect that we will benefit even more in the future as we get better at using intelligence."

"Automated data processing is the most valuable feature of Automation Anywhere."

"It has helped us to save a lot of FTEs for our solutions that we have provided to our companies. Suppose a job which was done by a group of eight to nine people on a daily basis for 24 hours was taking a lot of time, so we created a bot with Automation Anywhere. It was done with a bot working 24/7. It reduced the numbers of guys required to do that process."

"Bot Runner - The Bot Runner is the machine where you run the bot. You could have multiple bots running in parallel. You only need the Run License to run the bots. The bots report back the execution logs/pass/fail status back to the control room."

"Automation Anywhere helped us to reduce the work time on data operations."

"From an organizational perspective, it has improved how we work and determine, "Is there a better way to do things?" and, "How can we challenge the status quo?" This builds a continuous improvement mindset throughout our organization."

More Automation Anywhere pros

"Actually we have now automatic and immediate control of assets usage, and we can now better manage our assets pool and get benefits through that."

"It is stable and scalable."

"The most important features are the flexibility of the product and the way that we can use it to ensure software compliance within our organization."

"This product can be customized according to the needs of any company."

"We are constantly using this product and we are constantly improving this product."

"Transparency is one of the big features, and we reduced our attempt to repair by forty percent."

"I've found the solution to be very scalable."

"It gives us the ability to monitor the entire infrastructure proactively and reactively."

"My customers are happy and satisfied with the monitoring capabilities that give them a more precise picture of company performance."

"Compared to other products on the market today, I think it's the best in terms of architecture and capabilities."

"You can create an application topology that shows relationships between different components."

"The data lake is a very powerful feature within OpenText Operations Bridge."

"The most valuable features of the solution are its grouping scripts and event focus."

More OpenText AI Operations Management pros

Cons

"Cost-wise, it should be reduced."

"The product needs improvements in dealing with remote servers and providing more APIs that will be used with other systems."

"Replacing the list of search options with voice commands for each item would be great."

"Migration is probably our biggest challenge. When we were trying to do the migration to the new version, it was a little bit painful. We didn't have that many bots, and I can't imagine the level of effort that some of the bigger customers have to put in for that. The product is stable, but moving from one release to the other was the issue."

"Automation Anywhere is easy to use, even if you lack technical skills. People without deep technical expertise can easily develop scenarios."

"They are already working on this: The boom of generative AI, the next-gen technologies, including advanced AI and ML technologies, are in the roadmap. I would like to see more and more AI integration and a bit more analytics. That would be great."

"The IQ Bots need more out-of-the-box models to lessen the time required for model training. Their competitors provide more built-in models, which enhance capabilities in document processing."

"While using IQ Bot we found that data extraction accuracy is a bit weaker in semi-structured documents compared with structured documents. We would like to see improvement in the data extraction part of Automation Anywhere IQ Bot."

More Automation Anywhere cons

"Technical support is very frustrating because we have probably 12 or 15 years’ experience with the products."

"There are a lot of things that need improvement. Software recognition, software licensing, software compliance, data inputs, reporting, and support are some of the areas."

"The usability of this product is still out-of-date and could be improved. The interface could be improved."

"The technology used is outdated, the interface is outdated, the database is outdated, everything is outdated."

"The initial setup is not exactly straightforward. It's complex as it's not just one product."

"The product and the UI need updating. Everything about the user experience needs updating."

"Level 1 technical support is incompetent. I'm almost afraid to open tickets because I know I'll be asked the same thing 8 times."

"Even though they said it was out for over a year, it was not a product ready for release."

"I think HP gives you everything you need, but they are not agile and innovative enough."

"We need improvements in delivering quality reports from OBM and in integrating Operations Bridge with other components like UCMDB for asset discovery."

"I'm not aware of areas that need improvement."

"The technical support is normally very good, but occasionally patchy."

More OpenText AI Operations Management cons

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Automation Anywhere might have a higher upfront cost than some competitors, but its extensive features and seamless integration with other tools can save organizations money in the long run."

"The control room access gives the ability to create different roles, which helps when purchasing additional licensing."

"The product’s pricing is reasonable."

"The licensing cost of Automation Anywhere is better than UiPath and Blue Prism."

"We have reduced our headcount, approximately 200 to 300 employees, by eliminating manual, repetitive work. It provides profit to the business."

"The licensing cost could be improved. It costs a lot. At the very least, the developer licenses and the control panels should be made free to enterprises, and the production environment licensed."

"Automation Anywhere is somewhat expensive. The prices are slightly higher, but if you need something, you must pay for it."

"We're just starting to renew our license, and we were quoted $115,000 without the IQ Bot. The IQ Bot is another $30,000. This is with very limited pages, as we go through our first projects. The majority of the cost was for ten days of onsite training."

More Automation Anywhere pricing and cost advice

"From my experience, Asset Manager is expensive."

"Pricing is very flexible and depends on the modules selected as per the requirement."

"The licensing model for Micro Focus Operations Bridge is unit-based so it can be one device or ten devices depending on your situation or model. Cost-wise, it's much more if you have more devices and features such as infrastructure monitoring, analytic dashboard, and business dashboard in your model."

"As OpsBridge is a suite of products bundled together, you may find yourself paying for software functionality that you don't actually use, e.g. Real User Monitor (RUM)."

"It is competitive."

"The licensing cost for this solution is approximately $1,000 USD."

"Setup costs can be high depending on the partner, but it is worth it."

"The cost is very high."
