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

"Automation Anywhere's most valuable features include its end-to-end capabilities within a single platform. It offers desktop automation, unattended automation, a recorder for tasks, and advanced IDP capability, which means that I can handle everything from basic cutting and pasting to advanced use cases. With Automation Anywhere, I don't need multiple other tools to automate end-to-end processes. I only need one additional chatbot tool, assuming conversational AI is part of the solution. If I don't have chatbots, all the capabilities are built into the platform."

"Automation Anywhere's central command center is good."

"For the beginners, it is an easy tool compared to other tools in market. Users can understand the line by line code and code it easily. There is no syntax or anything else. They can easily drag and drop, executing the bot directly."

"I like Automation Anywhere's cloud-based nature. You don't need any on-prem infrastructure to host it."

"From my developer's point of view, the tool is pretty strong."

"Automation Anywhere is a great tool."

"The development of the company from Automation Anywhere V11 to a2019 was valuable. I found many important and new features, like changing the way we write code and programming. It became much easier and very flexible in version 2019A. It became very easy to use and the recording was also good. Excel became very good too."

"Time-wise: We have saved hundreds of thousands of hours."

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."

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

"It is stable and scalable."

"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."

"OpsBridge is powerful, comprehensive, and well suited to organizations with the budget to justify it."

"Flexible dashboard with the availability of widgets."

"OpenText AI Operations Management has an agent system where you can directly add plugins and collect metrics and logs, and it is really difficult to collect these kinds of things such as metric data with other systems, but it is easier with this platform."

"As a total offering, Ops Bridge is a strong offering in the market."

"The initial setup is pretty straightforward. It's not complex at all."

"It's very scalable and it does seem capable of accepting the volume."

"Purely, its flexibility is the most valuable aspect. It is hugely configurable."

"The biggest strength of the Operations Bridge is the consolidation of events from various sources."

Cons

"Another feature that would be cool to see in Automation Anywhere is more use of artificial intelligence. Right now, RPA is basically limited to a bot which is simply following the instructions that it was given. However, what would be really useful is if a bot was able to more flexibly respond to issues. For example, sometimes there are erroneous errors and pop ups. With good code, you can certainly build your bots to be able to handle that. However, it does take time and a bit of technical know-how to be able to do that."

"Automation Anywhere can improve the product in potential areas of improvement with respect to automation and AI."

"Automation Anywhere can be improved with better documentation."

"More interactions with PDFs would be great for Automation Anywhere."

"We would like Automation Anywhere to have a way to run a capacity check on machines and show us what is available."

"It would be nice to have the IQ Bots integrated with the Enterprise Edition without requiring extra licenses. That would be great."

"Automation Anywhere risks falling behind by focusing solely on Robotic Process Automation when competitors offer more versatile and adaptable solutions that integrate AI for a more intelligent automation experience."

"Although, IQ Bot has data being extracted from it. It can improve with more features, like handwritten copies that are readable."

More Automation Anywhere cons

"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."

"The setup process can get a little bit complex."

"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."

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

"The solution is overall "heavy", requiring multiple servers, even without HA."

"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."

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

"The UI could be better. The ease of use, deployment, upgrades, and licensing could be better."

"We are waiting for quicker release cycles. Also containerized upgrade, so that you don't have to bring a system entirely down to make a minor upgrade, in fact, or a minor patch."

More OpenText AI Operations Management cons

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Automation Anywhere falls within a mid-range price point when compared to other RPA tools on the market."

"I have heard that Automation Anywhere is expensive."

"We are not receiving the right information about their features, e.g. Automation Anywhere University, or anything that they are selling. They need to improve their documentation."

"It looks like it will be right around $115,000, not counting IQ Bot, which we won't renew until later."

"It is not cheap, with costs ranging between 700 to 800 dollars per month. While Power Automate is cheaper at 15 dollars per month, Automation Anywhere offers superior features, user-friendliness, and smoothness."

"We only deal in annual licenses. There are no pay-as-you-go licenses."

"It is cost-efficient in terms of licensing. I found their support good when I was working for the airline client. However, I hear from my managers here that the support price for Tier 3 or premium is a little higher. That is why we are not going for Automation Anywhere. Its price was okay for our client, but for us, it seems expensive."

"As far as costs, it depends on your use. We started with a basic department pack, which is over 10K. The additional costs depend on the scale of the engagement and how it pans out. We customize to our needs on the go."

More Automation Anywhere pricing and cost advice

"From my experience, Asset Manager is expensive."

"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)."

"It is competitive."

"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."

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

"The cost is very high."
