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.

reviewer2060121

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

"My experience with the deployment of Automation Anywhere was good. I have no complaints there. It was very straightforward."

"The drag-and-drop feature is valuable."

"The Control Room is the most important feature, where we can manage the bots and publish to various bot runners in the environment."

"The bottom line is that it is extremely simple and developer-friendly."

"The recorder feature for front end automation and email packages is the most valuable feature as it has more features and it makes the email server related tasks easier and more independent on the email client."

"IQ Bot is a valuable feature. It processes unstructured data to structured data. It helps me by making tasks less time consuming. It reduces the effort it takes versus manually."

"We are getting massive efficiencies across our back office, internally."

"We have been able to take an accounting task and clear a very large backlog, therefore being completely up-to-date on the task since implementing a bot on it."

More Automation Anywhere pros

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

"We have now automatic and immediate control of assets usage, and we can now better manage our assets pool and get benefits through that."

"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 are constantly using this product and we are constantly improving this product."

"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."

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

Cons

"Many clients use the Citrix environment but AA has very low functionality to automate a Citrix environment."

"Automation Anywhere has some limitation with its integrations. You can build your logic with MetaBots and .NET components, e.g., if something is not gathered by Automation Anywhere or built into functionality, you can write a MetaBot. A MetaBot is like an external component. You can write it through C# or .NET code, and make a DLL, and import it. This is not open to all data types or EXE functionalities which can be written through C#. You have to define your variable types, matching them with Automation Anywhere existing variable types. Because of the knowledge required, I cannot let another person, who doesn't know Automation Anywhere, build my external DLL code."

"Automation Anywhere says that you can use this tool for any type of application, but there are some for which it is not compatible."

"Version 11 is a bit heavy. At times, it takes a toll on the computing resources."

"We are still hoping to see improvements in its ability to have the client answer automatically and reconnect when Windows updates are applied."

"It should have more commands, which should remove the dependency on MetaBots or other scripts so that everything is available in the tool itself."

"I would like more with OCR and data capture. We are partnering with IBM to help bridge this gap, but Automation Anywhere should continue to expand on their product line and provide these capabilities, as well."

"I want Automation Anywhere to work on IQ Bot further to help evolve the tool more and create a certain set of solutions using IQ Bot. They can maybe use better machine learning algorithms to come up with better accuracy for OCR extractions. This is an area that I want them to work on."

More Automation Anywhere cons

"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."

"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 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."

"I think it could be improved with regard to response time, and getting the proper resources."

"The past year has not been very good in terms of technical support; there were long waits before replying, and very often we find the solution ourselves before the support engineers do."

"The deployment of agents on new CI should be improved. There should be some kind of automation to directly deploy them from the console. It can maybe have some more AI functions because most of the other tools are going in that direction."

"There are pretty heavy limits on what the system can do."

"For OMi, it's not stable enough to get an enterprise solution out of it."

"It can be cumbersome to get up and running. And it's very expensive."

"The pricing could be improved."

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

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Automation Anywhere is thought to be quite expensive, especially for smaller organizations."

"I'm not sure what the monthly licensing cost is, as that is taken care of by another team, but I would say it's around $100,000."

"The setup and licensing cost is affordable, and it is not exaggerated like UiPath."

"The cost is affordable, which makes an easy barrier to entry for the RPA market."

"My understanding is that the license cost of Automation Anywhere is more reasonable than UiPath and Blue Prism."

"They sell it by license, but if they could charge by case or by interaction, that might be better. Right now, it's expensive when you want to scale or use them for simple processes."

"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."

"Cost-wise, it is fine. A lot of medium businesses prefer Automation Anywhere. The development cost is also lower."

More Automation Anywhere pricing and cost advice

"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."

"The licensing cost for this solution is approximately $1,000 USD."

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

"It is competitive."

"The cost is very high."

"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)."
