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

"From my perspective, the most valuable features in Automation Anywhere are the ability to connect to different systems of records."
"Compared to before, when processing a document took around three hours, we now complete it in one to two minutes thanks to Automation Anywhere and the latest document automation technology, saving around two hours and 55 minutes per user, which is a significant saving."
"In terms of development for our developers, it is very easy and quick to learn because Automation Anywhere has provided an online academy where developers can easily learn the features. It is very easy. If someone does not have a coding background, they can also learn from it very easily because it is just drag and drop and very interactive."
"It is very easy to use and learn compared to a programming language, where you have to have a background in coding. Anyone can learn it. Learning the software is easy."
"With Automation Anywhere, they receive their financial statements while still on the call."
"One of the most valuable features is the different possibilities it gives you to manipulate the interface screens that you're working with."
"We have been able to reduce the amount of repetitive tasks completed by operations, allowing individuals to move onto tasks which cannot yet be automated."
"Ease of use is one thing that definitely first comes to mind when I think of Automation Anywhere. The tools are built in a fairly straightforward way. The documentation is really good and a Knowledge Base is available on every topic."
"We are constantly using this product and we are constantly improving this product."
"It is stable and scalable."
"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."
"This product can be customized according to the needs of any company."
"Compared to other products on the market today, I think it's the best in terms of architecture and capabilities."
"Once it is in there, it's extremely robust."
"It is a very good solution for event management and agent-based monitoring."
"You can create an application topology that shows relationships between different components."
"I rate OpenText Operations Bridge as a solid nine on a scale of one to ten."
"The integration with the ticketing tool makes sure that there is a record for every issue."
"For us, the most valuable features are the ability to identify IT issues in your estates and to be able to rectify them hopefully before they cause outages to services."
"After I think ten years of using OML, we finally had some nice dashboards, which enabled us to get more insight and produce reports."
 

Cons

"It would be better to make it more user-friendly so that individuals with no experience can pick it up pretty quickly."
"Currently, while working on the SAP part, I encounter some challenges, particularly not being able to extract the tree structure."
"This solution saves us time but there are some things that make it clumsy for the end-users."
"We've had a lot of issues with the installation and performance on a variety of computers, onshore and offshore. Our network bounds multiple domains, and we've had issues there, as well. So, we are looking forward to the web-based development versions."
"We have used the technical support. I am quite unhappy with the support part. The higher priority tickets are not getting resolved within the SLA. Higher priority tickets for production issues should be looked into immediately. However, until they get escalated, tickets are not receiving higher priority. I would like to see this improve."
"The setup process is not easy compared to the competition, and this can be a barrier to entry."
"I would like for AA to add an inbuilt debug log that has functionalities to view the values of variables during run time in order to have a point-to-point debugging in case of an error."
"They need to make the solution more robust."
"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 technology used is outdated, the interface is outdated, the database is outdated, everything is outdated."
"The usability of this product is still out-of-date and could be improved. The interface could be improved."
"The advancement of this solution seems to have stalled."
"The initial setup of this tool is complex for people who lack experience with it."
"The latest versions of the service reporting dashboards need improvement, such as service modeling."
"There are a lot of locked files, about a thousand. You cannot always find the correct information to solve an issue."
"The initial setup is not exactly straightforward. It's complex as it's not just one product."
"The pricing is a bit expensive for smaller companies."
"The UI could be better. The ease of use, deployment, upgrades, and licensing could be better."
"The setup process can get a little bit complex."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Currently, it stands as one of the more expensive RPA tools available."
"This solution costs approximately $3,500 USD per license."
"The pricing that we received from Automation Anywhere in the beginning was very economical for us. We've seen a lot of benefit from what we spent to what we're receiving. From the beginning, it's been a very low-cost implementation for us."
"Pricing is a bit high when compared to other available tools; however, the tool is worth the cost."
"Initially, they charged a premium, but now the rest of the vendors have increased their overall pricing and Automation Anywhere is not that high at this time. It's pretty viable."
"Based on what I've heard, it's costly, but I don't know much about its pricing."
"We were paying approximately $30,000 for a year license."
"Complaints are generally about the cost of IQ Bot, which is higher than its competitors. The base model’s pricing is comparable to other platforms with attended, unattended, and IDP capabilities as well."
"From my experience, Asset Manager is expensive."
"Setup costs can be high depending on the partner, but it is worth it."
"The cost is very high."
"Pricing is very flexible and depends on the modules selected as per the requirement."
"The licensing cost for this solution is approximately $1,000 USD."
"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."
