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 is a great company with a great product and support."
"It saves a lot of effort and hours. It is time-efficient and cost-efficient."
"We have benefitted a lot now, but expect that we will benefit even more in the future as we get better at using intelligence."
"Courses on Automation Anywhere University are very easy to learn."
"If anyone is looking for an efficient automation tool, I definitely recommend Automation Anywhere because it is very helpful, even for non-technical people."
"Features like reusing each and every piece of code for things such as login scripts and data extraction scripts helped us to speed up the implementation of PoC for the client."
"We are using it for scripting, and it is end user based with screen captures. It is a bit easier to use than any of the other tools out there."
"One of the notable benefits we've realized from Automation Anywhere is a significant reduction in errors when processing data, which improves both revenue accuracy and operational efficiency."
"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."
"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."
"This product can be customized according to the needs of any company."
"We have gone from 100 to 700 servers without any hiccups; it is a very scalable product."
"In Micro Focus OBM, everything was controlled at the node level and now everything can be controlled at the console level."
"Transparency is one of the big features, and we reduced our attempt to repair by forty percent."
"We have worked now almost two years with OpsBridge and it is a very stable system."
"The Performance Manager provides great insight into our systems' performance."
"The most valuable aspect of Operations Bridge for us is its integration capabilities."
"It has the capability to display overall health of the infrastructure and is very useful for executive reports on the health of the infrastructure."
"The most valuable feature is the integration with other HPE products because it enables us to feed all the information into same area; whereas before it was in different sites."
 

Cons

"Most clients use systems which use old Java versions, trying to automate on these systems is really difficult since most features/commands are not supported."
"Automation Anywhere can be improved by addressing the server issues we occasionally encounter when running the bot on the runner."
"AA has many features but the issue is with the loss of overhead on computing resources. For example, if the bot is encrypted, the bot should decrypt it first then act accordingly. If there are issues with the logic in the bot, there will be a lot of computer memory overload. There should be an additional feature for cloud functionality."
"Sometimes, while recording, the screen hangs and we are not able to perform any actions during that time."
"Integration with other platforms may prove to be very interesting for us and others."
"With Oracle and ServiceNow, there seem to be challenges. With SAP, it worked very well."
"Automation Anywhere changed OCR features in A2019. My suggestion is to improve the OCR command scope and usability. We use OCR for PDF data extraction as we use in V. 11.x product."
"I would like to have a bot as a service platform on AA Cloud."
"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."
"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."
"The stability isn't so great."
"I'm not aware of areas that need improvement."
"At times, there are performance and configuration issues."
"There are a couple of areas of improvement: Performance needs to increase; and Better correlation from the box rules."
"The predictive analytics feature is very close to being integrated, but it is not fully integrated at this time."
"The dashboards from OpenText Operations Bridge, when compared to those from Splunk, are less visually appealing."
"The creation process is not as easy as expected, requiring multiple steps and can be quite complex."
"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

"If it is saving FTE and Generating a good ROI then it is Worth Investing."
"Considering the cost, it is a bit high, but worth the price because the output accuracy is high."
"We have seen ROI in terms of cost and time with a couple of our projects."
"I believe it is $10,000 for Bot Creator."
"We have a three-year contract with Automation Anywhere."
"The Community Edition is a good offering from the company."
"We are currently negotiating a contract. Depending upon that, we will definitely look at increasing usage."
"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."
"From my experience, Asset Manager is expensive."
"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)."
"The licensing cost for this solution is approximately $1,000 USD."
"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."
"Setup costs can be high depending on the partner, but it is worth it."
"It is competitive."
"Pricing is very flexible and depends on the modules selected as per the requirement."
