Venkat Sivaprakash - PeerSpot reviewer
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.

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

"A process that used to take seven to ten days has now been reduced to half an hour."
"I like all of the features, especially the MetaBot, REST API, and SAP DLL."
"The most valuable feature is IQ Bot, as it allowed us to train it to extract important logistical information from customer PDF documents, irrespective of the format."
"From the customer's perspective, the biggest benefits are automation of the security and monitoring systems."
"The vision and the journey Automation Anywhere is on is phenomenal."
"It most benefitted us in converting daily routine tasks into automated processes at minimal cost with available infrastructure."
"Currently, everyone wants to experiment more and more with cloud offerings. They don't want to spend money on setting up their internal hardware infrastructure. Automation Anywhere is the only tool that provides a pure cloud to customers. That is one of the key features."
"The most valuable feature is its ease of development; it's pretty easy for people who don't have a tech background to use and is one of the easiest tools for them to use."
"It is stable and scalable."
"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."
"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."
"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."
"The correlation feature is the most used feature. It allows you to correlate events from different sources and have more meaningful events."
"It's really the basis for everything we do for event management, for enterprise management."
"It is stable."
"It is a very good solution for event management and agent-based monitoring."
"The preloaded rules and ways to monitor your systems are a must."
"Compared to other products on the market today, I think it's the best in terms of architecture and capabilities."
"OpsBridge has good event correlation facilities and root-cause identification algorithms."
"It's helped us to increase transparency of our line of business, as well as both transparency and visibility of the IT department within the company."
 

Cons

"I am looking for artificial intelligence and machine learning. I hope that they introduce them in A2019."
"I would like to have a cloud-based version with support."
"Support is not very satisfactory."
"When you are implementing it initially, it's challenging as there's a lot of change management."
"In Automation Anywhere, the logging process is manual."
"There is an issue with the object cloning in Excel. OCR is also not that stable. Image recognition works fine, but not all the time."
"As a solution, it could have been easier to use than in the current state."
"A lot more can be done to make the solution easy for developer to use."
"Technical support is very frustrating because we have probably 12 or 15 years’ experience with the products."
"The usability of this product is still out-of-date and could be improved. The interface could be improved."
"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 technology used is outdated, the interface is outdated, the database is outdated, everything is outdated."
"Remove the dependency of Java technology. This is a feature used for admin purposes to update the modeling."
"Depending on where you land, if you get stuck in generic level-two support, then it’s quite uninspiring – that’s probably the best description."
"Implementation could be improved."
"In a future release, we would like an improved upgrade process. When you upgrade it now, it first uninstalls everything and then reinstalls all the packages, which means any customization that you've done in the directories on the surface disappears."
"There are pretty heavy limits on what the system can do."
"The advancement of this solution seems to have stalled."
"The installation instructions are a mess to the point where the advice given to us by other HPE people has been to not follow the instructions, but to follow the VMEs instead."
"Stability could have been better. We were running into problems sometimes where the whole system was not performing as we expected."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"As our team size increases, we may get some more licenses for the tool."
"We were paying approximately $30,000 for a year license."
"The cost can be reduced a little for users."
"Costs savings have been seen by employing bots for multiple shifts instead of people."
"Automation Anywhere is flexible in terms of costing and licensing."
"It saves me around $100,000 a year."
"The major reason that we selected Automation Anywhere was the licensing model."
"Our annual licensing costs are around $100,000 a year."
"From my experience, Asset Manager is expensive."
"The cost is very high."
"The licensing cost for this solution is approximately $1,000 USD."
"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)."
"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."
"Setup costs can be high depending on the partner, but it is worth it."
"It is competitive."
"Pricing is very flexible and depends on the modules selected as per the requirement."
