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

"We have automated that complete process of code review. The bot is solving the problem of ensuring the compliance of reviewing code. People use to generally skip the code review process, because it was exhaustive. Bots can review the complete standards of the code, whatever is there, ensuring the compliance and eventually saving time."
"The most valuable features of Automation Anywhere are Excel, periods, database, and email action."
"We can integration with other APIs, which is a good thing. This helps us with our database integration. For example, we have done an SAP integration, which is great, since SAP has a lot of manual work."
"We have a very resourceful pipeline to use AA bots in our RPA projects and we are looking to be more engaged with the AA team in deploying these bots."
"It has helped us to save a lot of FTEs for our solutions that we have provided to our companies."
"Overall, I would rate Automation Anywhere a nine out of ten."
"We're finding time savings as a benefit. One example would be a customer service rep who might get a question about an order, and it's usually through email. It can take a good three to seven business days to answer a customer's question about their order. When we automate it, it takes hours, if not minutes."
"Automation Anywhere helped us to reduce the work time on data operations."
"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."
"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."
"We have a bunch of critical servers and applications, and we are able to monitor using this product to create a dashboard and have automatic alerts to notify the responsible team."
"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."
"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."
"OpsBridge has good event correlation facilities and root-cause identification algorithms."
"We haven't faced any stability issues. There hasn't been any crashes or glitches."
"It gives us the ability to monitor the entire infrastructure proactively and reactively."
"The most valuable feature is that everything can be consolidated into one dashboard."
"We have worked now almost two years with OpsBridge and it is a very stable system."
 

Cons

"Where minor but widespread changes are made to the cloud product being operated upon, changing the cloned search values individually was incredibly time consuming, and it shut down the RPA service until it was fixed."
"It is frustrating at times to experience this instability, but we do find a solution and we are working on it to be better."
"We have had some difficulty with ease of use. In addition, we have had some difficulties getting it to interact in predictable ways with our in-house software."
"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."
"With Citrix, we need a dedicated server to work with it. This has become complicated, as it is not easy to pull all the systems together into one place. It would be better if the Automation Anywhere team could make this easy and simple."
"In my opinion, there are always areas for improvement in Automation Anywhere, and they are continuously working on enhancements."
"We are at an inflection point where we have automated so much that just keeping the lights on certainly takes 20% to 50% of the time, depending on the time of year. Being able to enable the stakeholders is one of my main focuses. If we are automating their process, I want them to continue owning that as much as possible. We are just expanding on the bot insights. From a security perspective, there have been some challenges for us getting our customers in there from a role-level security perspective and making sure that they have full access to the control room and their automation after it is automated."
"The customization feature should be made more user-friendly in order to enable the use of external reference components."
"The usability of this product is still out-of-date and could be improved. The interface could be improved."
"Technical support is very frustrating because we have probably 12 or 15 years’ experience with the products."
"The technology used is outdated, the interface is outdated, the database is outdated, everything is outdated."
"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 service takes a very long time to start and it requires a lot of resources."
"The past year has not been very good in terms of technical support; there were long waits before replying, and very often we find the solution ourselves before the support engineers do."
"Even though they said it was out for over a year, it was not a product ready for release."
"There are pretty heavy limits on what the system can do."
"The creation process is not as easy as expected, requiring multiple steps and can be quite complex."
"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."
"For OMi, it's not stable enough to get an enterprise solution out of it."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"We have saved a lot of money on taxes based on the stuff that we run."
"The solution itself is free unless we want to add the support option but we have to pay for the bots we use."
"Considering the cost, it is a bit high, but worth the price because the output accuracy is high."
"The pricing and licensing are definitely moderate to costly but easily recoverable by achieving ROI quickly."
"Time-wise: We have saved hundreds of thousands of hours."
"The solution is quite expensive. Not every organization can consider this option."
"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."
"Automation Anywhere is affordable."
"From my experience, Asset Manager is expensive."
"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)."
"Setup costs can be high depending on the partner, but it is worth it."
"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 cost is very high."
"It is competitive."
"The licensing cost for this solution is approximately $1,000 USD."
