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

"I like web automation and SAP application automation."

"One of the most valuable features is IQ Bot. If you compare Automation Anywhere with any of the other organizations, we may get same type of RPA solution, as there are multiple organizations. But, IQ Bot was one of the primary reasons to choose Automation Anywhere. Using IQ Bot, we can extract more data out from the documents that are unstructured. Therefore, we need to do two things at the same time: We need to extract the information from image-based documents We need to make sure that the efficiency and accuracy of the extraction is improving with each extraction."

"The cognitive automation gives us an edge towards intelligence using IQ Bot, and this allows us to integrate and give a combined solution to a customer."

"Compared to other RPA solutions on the market I have worked with, AA surpasses its competitors by far."

"The solution is easy to learn and with it, it's easy to replicate knowledge."

"Automation Anywhere is definitely scalable in several ways; it's easy and accessible, it's designed the best — almost perfect."

"Automation Anywhere (AA) is really fast on the development side. It's an efficient and intelligent RPA tool, with a good engine and good connectors."

"There are multiple levels of cloning. In case screen cloning doesn't work, you can do object-based cloning or keystroke-level cloning, depending upon what parameters are available to you and what is the level of information that you capture. You can traverse between object cloning, which is the lowest form of cloning to a stroke-based cloning, which is like taking care of each keystroke-level which is made by the agent."

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."

"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."

"It is stable and scalable."

"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 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."

"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."

"The most valuable feature is the seamless monitoring of both Windows and Unix servers."

"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."

"We switched for the added features, better scalability, overall experience, and better resolution to end of life issues."

"Transparency is one of the big features, and we reduced our attempt to repair by forty percent."

"The core manager also allows for the creation of a custom dashboard, and users can use the cache from the dashboard which can include images."

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

Cons

"The bot creation process is tedious. The solution has a lot of features, but since you have to drag down a lot of the commands, it can get tedious to use it. You end up having to use the mouse a lot more."

"The AISense recorder in Automation Anywhere needs improvement in resilience and OCR capabilities, particularly in comparison to UiPath's superior OCR functionality."

"What we currently have with Fortress IQ needs to mature more, and I say this since people spend weeks creating PDDs documentation."

"Now, it is a big complex to download the product and install it, then again to install the patches. So, it takes a lot of time to download it."

"The only reason I wouldn't rate it higher is because a COE Manager still not getting the full benefit from it and because the premium is a little bit expensive."

"The customer service could be improved."

"Although, IQ Bot has data being extracted from it. It can improve with more features, like handwritten copies that are readable."

"Sometimes, the bot struggles to initiate on the cloud, even when everything appears in place. This issue occasionally requires uninstalling and reinstalling a component on my PC, although I cannot recall the specific component involved."

More Automation Anywhere cons

"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."

"The technology used is outdated, the interface is outdated, the database is outdated, everything is outdated."

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

"The initial setup of this tool is complex for people who lack experience with it."

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

"The event correlation is not there and it is a complex tool."

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

"The technical support is normally very good, but occasionally patchy."

"Stability could have been better. We were running into problems sometimes where the whole system was not performing as we expected."

"The solution is overall "heavy", requiring multiple servers, even without HA."

Pricing and Cost Advice

"It is expensive. Automation Anywhere has reduced the price slightly, as we have grown. However, the price is still excessive enough that we are engaged in PoCs on other tools."

"Automation Anywhere is costlier than the general competition. That is aligned with the share of the market it has."

"The setup cost depends on multiple factors, so you need to get details before choosing."

"I would rate the cost of Automation Anywhere as a six out of ten, with ten being the most expensive."

"The pricing is a bit higher."

"In most of the cases, the product value is very good. If the infrastructure, implementation, and framework are good, then generally, the client can get a good return on investment."

"We have seen about a 10 percent monetary savings."

"It is one of the most affordable RPA solutions, and as for licensing, they offer a community edition that greatly helps anyone who aspires to learn about the product before buying the enterprise solution."

More Automation Anywhere pricing and cost advice

"From my experience, Asset Manager is expensive."

"The cost is very high."

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

"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)."

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