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

"I implemented AA in different environments, the AA installation is the smoothest compared to other RPA software installs."
"Automation Anywhere has saved us a lot of time, money & efforts by automating our ServiceNow tickets."
"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."
"Automation Anywhere is very easy to handle because it is a low-code platform, so anyone can learn very quickly."
"We automated these processes so they will be processed automatically, and users will get the end result for validation—it is basically time-saving for them."
"Automation Anywhere has presented us with a platform that is easily accessible from a web interface, enabling us to write code for RPA scripts without having to download a dedicated software application."
"We have found that the automation bots we have developed give great savings in terms of higher productivity and efficiency."
"Earlier users were converting the unstructured data from the PDF into the structured format to process the task but now, this activity is replaced by IQ Bot."
"We are constantly using this product and we are constantly improving this product."
"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."
"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."
"This product can be customized according to the needs of any company."
"I rate OpenText Operations Bridge as a solid nine on a scale of one to ten."
"It's a very good product overall."
"The most valuable features of the solution are its grouping scripts and event focus."
"We switched for the added features, better scalability, overall experience, and better resolution to end of life issues."
"After I think ten years of using OML, we finally had some nice dashboards, which enabled us to get more insight and produce reports."
"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."
"The integration with the ticketing tool makes sure that there is a record for every issue."
"The biggest strength of the Operations Bridge is the consolidation of events from various sources."
 

Cons

"In order to score nine or ten, they still need to provide more flexibility and integration with other tools and options."
"They need to improve the stability of the core functionality. If they keep the core constant and constant, they will continue to thrive."
"IQ Bot has been changed and enhanced for Automation Anywhere, but the accuracy is still not optimal."
"In the current organization, we had trouble initially because I think the documentation and support could be better than what it is now."
"Some things that I do not see as of today are interactive chat or video interface."
"For future prospects, this tool should 80 percent deal with neural networks, deep learning, and artificial intelligence and that has to be integrated a lot. As these are future skills, these integrations will help us take the tool to take to the next level."
"I would like to see a global error handler introduced, which will explicitly handle errors over the entire project."
"As far as stability is concerned, there have been some challenges. Sometimes, we experience our computers freezing up for no apparent reason or the network being inaccessible."
"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."
"The usability of this product is still out-of-date and could be improved. The interface could be improved."
"Technical support is very frustrating because we have probably 12 or 15 years’ experience with the products."
"Topology-based event correlation does not work well with NNM events."
"I think HP gives you everything you need, but they are not agile and innovative enough."
"If you're using the full functionality, it can be a bit naive to think, “I'm going to just deliver this all singing, all dancing gold plated Rolls Royce in the solution; all in one go." For a large organization it's quite a task, so we're starting off with minimal migration and not just put another in."
"We need improvements in delivering quality reports from OBM and in integrating Operations Bridge with other components like UCMDB for asset discovery."
"The initial setup is a little bit complex."
"For OMi, it's not stable enough to get an enterprise solution out of it."
"There are a lot of locked files, about a thousand. You cannot always find the correct information to solve an issue."
"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."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"We would like to use Citrix going forward. We use Bot Runners to scale up, and it gets to be expensive. Using Citrix, it can mitigate costs."
"Costs savings have been seen by employing bots for multiple shifts instead of people."
"Automation Anywhere is affordable."
"It is one of the most affordable RPA solutions, and as for licensing, they offer a community edition that greatly helps anyone who aspires to learn about the product before buying the enterprise solution."
"My only suggestion in terms of pricing is very generic and that is to consider that as much as RPA saves cost and does automation, please get a realistic estimation done on whether you are really achieving any ROI over your investment with RPA."
"My understanding is that the license cost of Automation Anywhere is more reasonable than UiPath and Blue Prism."
"Price is where I'm least satisfied. Other vendors are more willing to offer discounts."
"There is an annual license to use the solution."
"From my experience, Asset Manager is expensive."
"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."
"Pricing is very flexible and depends on the modules selected as per the requirement."
"Setup costs can be high depending on the partner, but it is worth it."
"The licensing cost for this solution is approximately $1,000 USD."
"The cost is very high."
"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)."
