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

"It is highly accurate and gets up and running in a very short period of time."
"Automation Anywhere helped multiple clients to save a lot of data entry time and have automated almost every repetitive task, and AA Control Room helped to manage the operations of both attended and unattended automations and have helped a continuous run of the bots saving hundreds of thousands of dollars."
"Now they have a nice tool that is mostly stable with most of the features I could want being covered in the functionality of the product."
"My experience with the deployment of the solution is positive; it's fast, and we have not encountered any problems related to that."
"AA has vastly improved my organization in gathering more business, reducing human efforts, and optimizing client business."
"If we want to read a scanned PDF, we use IQ Bot. Using the cognitive detail of IQ Bot and some machine learning abilities, we can train the IQ Bot to process all scanned PDF documents and give the results in an Excel file. This is a very good feature introduced by Automation Anywhere. IQ Bot is doing well."
"The simplicity and ease of use is the most valuable part of Automation Anywhere."
"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."
"We are constantly using this product and we are constantly improving this product."
"This product can be customized according to the needs of any company."
"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."
"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."
"We switched for the added features, better scalability, overall experience, and better resolution to end of life issues."
"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."
"The Performance Manager provides great insight into our systems' performance."
"The most valuable aspect of Operations Bridge for us is its integration capabilities."
"Transparency is one of the big features, and we reduced our attempt to repair by forty percent."
"It allows us to build dashboards for individual parts of the business, and our team members appreciate that they can just get a view of their part of the world without having to worry about anyone else's."
"I find the Micro Focus Operations Bridge dashboard valuable, including its instrument analysis and anomaly control features that help indicate root causes and problems with your infrastructure."
"We haven't faced any stability issues. There hasn't been any crashes or glitches."
 

Cons

"Most of the Excel commands such as filtering and removing duplicates are not available."
"I would rate Automation Anywhere's support a four out of ten because the support is horrible for all customers."
"On the cognitive side, some of their competitors, when we were originally shopping, were a little more advanced in that space. Making use of probabilistic outcomes and presenting them to a business user is a feature that, at the time of our evaluation, did not feel like a strong, mature solution for Automation Anywhere. Nevertheless, they won our business. That is one feature where I feel they are trying to make investments to address those gaps."
"There are occasional technical issues, particularly with cloud operations. Sometimes, the bot struggles to initiate on the cloud, even when everything appears in place."
"We noticed slowness in a few of the commands like Object Cloning, Web Recorders, etc. on which Automation Anywhere can work to make it more robust. There are improvements required in the WLM solution provided by AA, which can make it a more robust queuing system and the system should retry by itself in case of failure due to system error."
"It would be nice to have the IQ Bots integrated with the Enterprise Edition without requiring extra licenses. That would be great."
"Automation Anywhere can improve process mining."
"The Automation Anywhere University courses have helped us, but it could improve some things, like how the courses are designed."
"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."
"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."
"Technical support is very frustrating because we have probably 12 or 15 years’ experience with the products."
"For OMi, it's not stable enough to get an enterprise solution out of it."
"There are a couple of areas of improvement: Performance needs to increase; and Better correlation from the box rules."
"The product and the UI need updating. Everything about the user experience needs updating."
"Reporting has to be tackled a bit more. Conceptually, it is there and conceptually it is amazing, but somehow the module itself is suffering."
"Remove the dependency of Java technology. This is a feature used for admin purposes to update the modeling."
"The latest versions of the service reporting dashboards need improvement, such as service modeling."
"The initial setup is a little bit complex."
"The pricing could be improved."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Licensing for Automation Anywhere (AA) is paid on a yearly basis. Out of all the RPA tools, it has the most value for money, e.g. what you pay is what you get."
"I am not responsible for the pricing part, but I know the pricing is competitive compared to other tools."
"I would rate the price of Automation Anywhere a six out of ten, with ten being the most expensive."
"The pricing is fair. My company is part of a big organization, so the pricing is very advantageous."
"The setup cost depends on multiple factors, so you need to get details before choosing."
"Although the initial implementation cost of Automation Anywhere is relatively high compared to other options, its annual subscription cost is lower than UiPath's, which has the opposite pricing structure."
"It's an ideal pricing model to customize the components based on everyone's needs."
"The pricing for Automation Anywhere is reasonable."
"From my experience, Asset Manager is expensive."
"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."
"Setup costs can be high depending on the partner, but it is worth it."
"Pricing is very flexible and depends on the modules selected as per the requirement."
"It is competitive."
"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 cost is very high."
