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.

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

"I really like the Automation Anywhere University website because it has a lot of good documents that you can read to learn about the solution."
"Automation Anywhere is a good platform with extensive capabilities that has innovated and kept their platform more centered and relevant in the market by introducing AI and agentic capabilities."
"The most valuable thing about using this product is that we are able to use the time that we spent doing manual processing for other progressive purposes."
"What really helps RPA to grow is the cognitive part of it. That's where the product is really good. Initially, it started out as RPA, but now there is a cognitive aspect to it. That's a key value to it."
"It is very easy to use and learn compared to a programming language, where you have to have a background in coding. Anyone can learn it. Learning the software is easy."
"I'd say there are new useful features that will definitely help us as we do more development in the near future."
"Co-Pilot is a valuable feature."
"The ability to automate renewals of government licenses four times a year is valuable."
"This product can be customized according to the needs of any company."
"It is stable and scalable."
"We are constantly using this product and we are constantly improving this product."
"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."
"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."
"I rate OpenText Operations Bridge as a solid nine on a scale of one to ten."
"The biggest strength of the Operations Bridge is the consolidation of events from various sources."
"It is stable."
"It helps us to take into account all of our infrastructure, monitoring everything as one single point of truth, with flexible configuration to correlate systems and applications so our systems stay under control and in check."
"The most valuable feature is that everything can be consolidated into one dashboard."
"We haven't faced any stability issues. There hasn't been any crashes or glitches."
"It's a very good product overall."
"This solution worked as an umbrella for many different types of monitoring systems, offering various tools for not only application performance management models but also user experience models and monitoring business processes."
 

Cons

"I would also like to see better communication with their customer success teams. It often takes longer than expected when we submit requests for help or come across a problem we want to resolve. While I can appreciate that it sometimes takes a while to get the appropriate answer, it would be nice to be in constant communication about where they are in the process."
"The support and user community need improvement. For example, it would be nice to have a place for those who create bots to have a place to share information and success stories."
"I would like to leverage the AI component without the requirement to know a coding language, such as Python."
"The document processing, OCR, needs to be more accurate. Sometimes, when you try it on documents, it keeps on failing and goes to a different queue. It needs to mature."
"Training is good and interactive but the final certification exam is very tough and it requires in-depth practical knowledge."
"The technical support is critical for this product, but we have found them a challenge to work with."
"It would be great if there will be a built-in machine learning model available in the AA, so the developer can directly map it with their task and train the model accordingly."
"I would wish for a greater focus on citizen development, which is a priority for our company."
"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 usability of this product is still out-of-date and could be improved. The interface could be improved."
"There are a couple of areas of improvement: Performance needs to increase; and Better correlation from the box rules."
"Implementation could be improved. We also need training and a good partner in order to install and configure it."
"I'm not aware of areas that need improvement."
"I think HP gives you everything you need, but they are not agile and innovative enough."
"It can run a little slow if not configured correctly or if a customer doesn't use it properly."
"The pricing could be improved."
"Reporting has to be tackled a bit more. Conceptually, it is there and conceptually it is amazing, but somehow the module itself is suffering."
"The creation process is not as easy as expected, requiring multiple steps and can be quite complex."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The pricing for Automation Anywhere is reasonable."
"The licensing cost is approximately $4,000 USD, which is a seed license."
"Automation Anywhere is expensive."
"We would like to use Citrix going forward. We use Bot Runners to scale up, and it gets to be expensive. Using Citrix, it can mitigate costs."
"On average, a bot runner in Automation Anywhere can cost $5,000, while in Microsoft Power Automate, you can get most of the same functionality for $100."
"Annually, we are paying almost one million reais."
"The solution is quite expensive. Not every organization can consider this option."
"The certifications are free of cost."
"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)."
"Setup costs can be high depending on the partner, but it is worth it."
"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."
"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."
