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.

Software Asset Manager Lead at Boeing at a transportation company with 10,001+ employees

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 its easy to use."

"The character extraction capability of IQ Bot is much, much better than the other OCR (Optical Character Recognition) engines that you have in the market today."

"Automation Anywhere has not only my organization but several customers as well, particularly the organizations from the automobile industry, benefitted in their vision to transform their business objective towards the path of digital transformation."

"The speed-up and greater control over the quality of the processes have also led to savings in money and are increasing the happiness of the company's customers."

"The most valuable feature of the product is the flexibility, as there are so many features that you can use to develop, and it can hit a lot of use cases."

"Automation Anywhere is scalable and capable of adapting to any new requirements and technologies."

"A project that we automated: A person used to spend about eight to twelve hours every week to finish the process. The bot finishes it in half an hour. Now, the person just reviews it, then passes along the information. This has helped our organization because originally EMEA and APAC would not receive the files the same day that they were processed. But because the bot only takes a half an hour, everyone can now receive the files on the same day."

"Our first automation removed manual work from employees, so they are now able to more quickly product quality work."

More Automation Anywhere pros

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

"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."

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

"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'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."

"As a total offering, Ops Bridge is a strong offering in the market."

"It is stable."

"It is a very good solution for event management and agent-based monitoring."

"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."

"We use the on-premises version to monitor our systems and manage emails, and all our systems use Operations Bridge, especially the critical systems."

"It's really the basis for everything we do for event management, for enterprise management."

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

More OpenText AI Operations Management pros

Cons

"Productivity increased when we implemented Automation Anywhere, but it did not meet the client's expectations regarding the number of human workers it replaced."

"My experience has been that if the person who codes the bot is not very well-trained, then they might create unstable bots. So, it's not the platform. It is just how somebody has coded the bots which can bring lot of instability to them. I recommend that when you are using a coder that the person well-trained and have a good amount of experience already working on bots. They shouldn't be newbie or beginner who comes in to code because that will impact the quality of the code itself."

"It would be better if they could extend the support for AA version 11 for a few more years, as most of the companies have tasks completed in AA version 11, and A2019 is much slower compared to AA 11."

"The initial implementation of Automation Anywhere regarding the elastic search and database set connection can be a little difficult. However, I am skilled enough to get through it. There were some balancing issues that my other team members had to manage. They are having difficulty in balancing when I checked the architecture properly. We determined later that there was no need for a load balance to be done on the servers. We didn't do any load balancing and then the elastic search was not done."

"In Automation Anywhere, the logging process is manual. We have to manually log each instance where the bot fails or the progress of a task. Automating this through a new feature would help developers simplify their development process."

"When it comes to Citrix automation, AA should improve or add more features in such a way that all the commands should work when automating a Citrix application."

"We have been looking at processes which can easily transition into a large scale environment, where you can have cloud or hybrid model. However, being a bank, some of our processes are critical and we would like to hold those on-premise. This limits us with our usage of Automation Anywhere."

"However, it does not work as well with retrieving data from images."

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."

"Currently the BVD, it's not living. We would like to see more sensors in the dashboard."

"We also need a better road map and a more affordable price."

"There are a couple of areas of improvement: Performance needs to increase; and Better correlation from the box rules."

"I would evaluate them as weak, unfortunately. They're barely bearable in the quality of the guys that support us."

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

"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."

"Even though they said it was out for over a year, it was not a product ready for release."

"Implementation could be improved. We also need training and a good partner in order to install and configure it."

Pricing and Cost Advice

"UiPath is exceptionally more expensive than Automation Anywhere. UiPath is far ahead of its competition, but in terms of finances, Automation Anywhere offers better value and is more effective for organizations seeking cost-effective solutions."

"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."

"Annual licensing costs would be about $100,000."

"No one is balking at the cost. They are market rates and will change, but no one is saying, "That is ridiculous or impossible." They are saying, "Show me the ROI and prove that the cost is accurate.""

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

"I find the license pricing to be competitive and reflective of the pricing models throughout the RPA space, and I believe there is a lot of value in continuing to maintain the free community edition platform."

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

"One of the things that will be good for the community will be to get the free version to download, which came out just a month ago called Community Edition. So, you can actually download it and try it for yourself."

More Automation Anywhere pricing and cost advice

"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 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."

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