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

"The most valuable feature is the Excel operations because the most repetitive task which we used to do was Excel operations, and Automation Anywhere has the Excel commands feature where we can run Excel Macros, which is very valuable and is saving so much time for us."

"The universal recorder is a kind of hybrid recorder that enables the user to record the data across devices."

"We use AA Client, Bot runners, Control room, IQ Bot, Bot insights. With the AA Client, we are able to automate almost all kinds of automation requirements without any big challenges. We found the availability of the number of commands provided by AA is really helpful to do automation within a small time frame."

"The code, once developed, is pretty stable."

"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."

"The technical support is good, and we have not had any issues."

"We saved approximately 10,000 hours of work for ourselves, and there are a couple of projects that we have worked on where we could have saved approximately 4000 hours on just one project that we built in two to three weeks."

"Scalability is one of the best things about most of the RPA bots. Once you create one, scalability is just about multiplying them."

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."

"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."

"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."

"The implementation of Operation Manager made it possible to centralize the events of several supervision tools such as SiteScope, Network Node Manager or Nagios, and all the enrichment part allowed to reduce the processing time of support tickets because all the information was already present in the alarm."

"It optimizes their operations efficiency, and makes people more focused on the issue at hand instead of trying to figure out what's going on."

"The ability to automate a lot of the repetitive tasks so that many human tasks are taken over by Bots is the most valuable feature in HPE Operations Bridge, especially because in today's world we are under constant pressure to reduce IT resources and the more we can automate, the better it is."

"We haven't faced any stability issues. There hasn't been any crashes or glitches."

"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."

"We have gone from 100 to 700 servers without any hiccups; it is a very scalable product."

"Compared to other products on the market today, I think it's the best in terms of architecture and capabilities."

More OpenText AI Operations Management pros

Cons

"Integration with other platforms may prove to be very interesting for us and others."

"One key feature we are looking for from Automation Anywhere is the need for a fully evolved CI/CD pipeline approach within our IT organization, given that we manage multiple applications."

"As of now IQ Bot only takes/fetches the record of the places that we have marked. e.g. Invoices fields that are dynamic in nature are very difficult to fetch the data from the scan copy. If this feature gets added, it will save a lot of time for developers."

"We have had issues with stability in the past, and there should be a function that helps you to find out what is wrong with your environment that is causing the automation to fail."

"The availability of material in terms of more technical documentation could be improved, particularly in-depth information about how things can be done."

"The technical support has been a little slow to respond to our inquiries."

"One day, there will be a message box saying that the application is down or not available on a weekend. The instructions will say read the information and click, "Okay." But a bot doesn't understand the instructions because it is not the IQ system."

"I would rate Automation Anywhere's support a four out of ten because the support is horrible for all customers."

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."

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

"Implementation could be improved."

"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."

"With support, you have to apply some changes which require a restart. That is in fact unacceptable."

"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."

"Reporting has to be tackled a bit more. Conceptually, it is there and conceptually it is amazing, but somehow the module itself is suffering."

"I see room for improvement in the licensing scheme area. It's getting more complex day by day."

"What needs improvement in Micro Focus Operations Bridge is its resource heaviness because you need many resources to deploy and support it. It's a good solution for larger organizations, but for small businesses, not so much."

Pricing and Cost Advice

"There are some additional costs beyond the standard licensing fees. There are a couple of add-ons we've looked at: The IQ Bot for OCR and machine-learning were add-ons, as well as the Bot Insights - the analytics."

"The price of Automation Anywhere is a little higher than some of the competition, such as UiPath. However, depending on the use case and other factors we are able to receive some discounts."

"The major reason that we selected Automation Anywhere was the licensing model."

"The product starts at $10,000 and then it's up to you regarding how much you can consume."

"In the Indian market, I feel that for mid-size companies, such as ourselves, that having multiple bots costs a lot. If Automation Anywhere wants to expand in the Indian market, they will need to look at their pricing."

"There is a free trial so that they can get an overview, and there are different licenses that are very affordable and can suit every business model."

"The pricing for Automation Anywhere is reasonable."

"The pricing is reasonable and one can achieve ROI faster when compared to other tools."

More Automation Anywhere pricing and cost advice

"From my experience, Asset Manager is expensive."

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

"The cost is very high."

"Pricing is very flexible and depends on the modules selected as per the requirement."

"It is competitive."

"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."

"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)."
