Featured Reviews

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

"It really does have a great dashboard. It has Bot Insight, it has MetaBots, and IQ Bots. It has so many features where it can read a file and loop."

"The recorders are highly beneficial when automating web scraping or web automation tasks."

"Workflow automation has helped a lot with cost reduction, greater accuracy, and delivery speed."

"No other competitor has this email trigger, so it saves a lot of time if you automate the process. We don't need to fix a time for a task to run. It gives the feature of on demand execution for any task. Whenever a user wants, it can send a mail and get the task done as soon as possible."

"The control room is the best part as everything can be seen and controlled from there, scheduling storing of credentials, and much more. I have used PDF extraction and other tools where data needs to be extracted and it works great at that part. I highly recommended this tool for automation."

"We have used support a few times for one of our customers, and they respond quickly. If the issue involves a critical production system, they respond to the request on the same day."

"Automation Anywhere has minimized this risk, saving costs related to rectification and improving compliance adherence to avoid penalties in a tightly regulated industry."

"With the rebate processing automation that we did, it has provided us a savings of around an hour or two a person on a daily basis, which is quite a lot of savings."

More Automation Anywhere pros

"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."

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

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

"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."

"It is stable and scalable."

"The broad integration possibilities, I'd say, with any kind of product, are probably the most valuable feature."

"It's helped us to increase transparency of our line of business, as well as both transparency and visibility of the IT department within the company."

"It's highly stable; it's worked well for me for eight to ten years and I haven't had any issues with bugs or glitches."

"In Micro Focus OBM, everything was controlled at the node level and now everything can be controlled at the console level."

"The preloaded rules and ways to monitor your systems are a must."

"After I think ten years of using OML, we finally had some nice dashboards, which enabled us to get more insight and produce reports."

"My customers are happy and satisfied with the monitoring capabilities that give them a more precise picture of company performance."

"The ability to integrate directly with the RIPM on top of DSM, using the event feed into OMI, the metrics feed, and features like SHA offers opportunities for faster root cause analysis."

More OpenText AI Operations Management pros

Cons

"For someone who does not have technical skills, using Automation Anywhere is quite challenging because it is primarily meant for the technical aspect, though it can help with basic data entry tasks, such as invoice processing and other repetitive back office operations."

"I have found that Automation Anywhere is prone to bugs in handling Excel. It breaks and gives vague error messages. I have had a lot of experience with that and learned that it is better to write a Python script instead of using Automation Anywhere's package when dealing with Excel because it is buggy and tends to break, unfortunately."

"I would like to see improvement in its scalability."

"We are not getting consistent behavior from the tool We would like to see this improved and the product more stable."

"When we need to upgrade the bot version for various applications like SAP, the compatibility issues could be easier to resolve. The financial team is using version 5 or 6, but the automation engineer recommends only version 6 because it is more compatible. I think Automation Anywhere could handle these compatibility issues better."

"In Mexico, where our company is based, we face issues regarding obtaining new licenses, as this has to be done through a third-party company."

"For beginners learning Automation Anywhere, there should be predefined templates to start creating a task bot. Instead of dragging and dropping action commands and doing error handling, there should be predefined templates that they can directly use."

"The main request I have for Automation Anywhere is to focus more on technical demonstrations."

More Automation Anywhere cons

"Technical support is very frustrating because we have probably 12 or 15 years’ experience with the products."

"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."

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

"Topology-based event correlation does not work well with NNM events."

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

"Remove the dependency of Java technology. This is a feature used for admin purposes to update the modeling."

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

"Our issues are largely support related due to where we are and the knowledge base that we have here. This issue relates both HPE in general and to the technical products."

"At times, there are performance and configuration issues."

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

More OpenText AI Operations Management cons

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The setup cost for this is onetime and licensing is based on your choice of product."

"The licensing cost of Automation Anywhere is better than UiPath and Blue Prism."

"The cost is anywhere between $10,000 and $100,000."

"It's fine. However, I'm concerned with the credits in terms of the pricing for the AI models. It is understandable that the new ones are more expensive, but the base models, after doing the pricing conversion, cost about four to ten times as much as paying directly."

"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."

"The licensing cost is approximately $4,000 USD, which is a seed license."

"There may be room for the product to be more competitively priced to excel in the market."

"We save approximately 10,000 hours per year."

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."

"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."

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

"It is competitive."

"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)."
