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

"We use IQ Bot for invoice processing. It can be any type of document. It could be a PDF or any sort of document. It will convert those PDFs into CSV files, which is a structured format. It takes it from an unstructured to structured format. That is why we use IQ Bot."

"The best features of Automation Anywhere include the user interface, which is quite easy to use now compared to its previous versions that were more difficult, and all code is visible during coding, showing what is going ahead and what follows in the code, which is not available in other RPA tools such as UiPath, making it a standout feature."

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

"The solution is very easy to implement."

"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."

"It is really helpful that this solution is deployed in the cloud."

"The technical support is good. If it is required that they provide their resources, they will send their resources to your organization to support you in terms of development and technical support."

"Other products are more low-code, whereas Automation Anywhere is no-code making it easier to learn and user-friendly."

More Automation Anywhere pros

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

"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."

"It gives us the ability to monitor the entire infrastructure proactively and reactively."

"The most valuable aspect of Operations Bridge for us is its integration capabilities."

"The most valuable feature is the seamless monitoring of both Windows and Unix servers."

"The Performance Manager provides great insight into our systems' performance."

"The correlation feature is the most used feature. It allows you to correlate events from different sources and have more meaningful events."

"Be patient, and take things step by step to get it going; once that takes place, it's pretty self-sufficient."

"We switched for the added features, better scalability, overall experience, and better resolution to end of life issues."

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

More OpenText AI Operations Management pros

Cons

"The dashboard has room for improvement."

"Though the courses in the certification's learning hub are great and awesome, there is some more space for adding more explained contents."

"Object cloning is a component of the solution that seems to be unstable, as it apparently stops working for no reason."

"There is a dependency issue around the control room. If the control room is not working, the bots will not work."

"I would like to have the ability to schedule bots by whichever one is available."

"We've struggled with some of the new features Automation Anywhere added in the latest version. For example, they added a new OpenAI package, but it took a while for me to find it in the actions menu."

"Automation Anywhere should implement this feature. They should also decrease their cost."

"The Help menu/description can be provided while hovering over actions so that it can help us better to know them."

More Automation Anywhere cons

"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."

"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."

"It is a very complicated product. It's difficult to manage. Nowadays, products are very easy to manage, deploy, and integrate, but Operations Bridge is very complicated to manage."

"It can run a little slow if not configured correctly or if a customer doesn't use it properly."

"The dashboards from OpenText Operations Bridge, when compared to those from Splunk, are less visually appealing."

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

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

"The price is quite expensive, and because of this, we may try another solution."

"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."

"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."

Pricing and Cost Advice

"It is expensive. I would rate Automation Anywhere an eight out of ten in terms of pricing."

"The pricing of AA is similar to UiPath."

"We have seen about a 10 percent monetary savings."

"The cloud-based version comes at an increased cost, although our clients are happy with the new features and have not complained about the pricing."

"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."

"Our company is investing a lot of money in Automation Anywhere. They have saved money wherever humans are working. They invest a lot of money in FTEs and other logistics, so the money saving is very pretty good with Automation Anywhere. While I don't know the exact figure, the tool is saving us millions of dollars as well as saving about 40,000 hours in the last year."

"It is reasonable, but it can always be a little bit cheaper."

"We have established a CoE and we take our bot opportunities based on their ROIs. The best ROI opportunity goes to development first. Our ROI opportunities are compliance, profitable growth, productivity enhancements, productivity gains, number of hours the productivity saved, and resources not available that the work can be done by the bot. However, the single most important criteria that we use to measure ROI is how much time does the bot cut down from an analyst's work, as this has the best ROI. E.g., if an analyst is spending a 100 hours of work that a bot can do in one hour, we calculate the 99 hours saved as ROI."

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."

"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)."

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

"The cost is very high."

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

"It is competitive."
