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

"The most valuable part is that it have the integrated OCR solution within it. All the other solutions do not have the right integration of the OCR solutions. You need to go to two different places to get one solution. Whereas, in IQ Bot, there is one area where you get all these solutions together in one area. That is the most important and beautiful point that I like about IQ Bot."
"SAP GUI Integration commands are highly useful while working with SAP applications and facilitate easy use of the software. This feature has been recently incorporated within the software and we have been using it to interface with SAP systems in development as well as production."
"This product is easy to use, and it helps business users to more easily understand RPA."
"Automation Anywhere was the simplest solution, and it offered us immediate support."
"AA is a global market leader and the best RPA software to go with, in all aspects."
"None of the commands are unique to Automation Anywhere, which allows beginners to leverage external knowledge."
"It is a great solution."
"In our efforts to efficiently manage the master data at our factories, the biggest benefit is the fact that we have been able to rein in what was an increasing number of engineers who were needed, on the order of some 100 people, so that’s a major result."
"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."
"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."
"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 use the on-premises version to monitor our systems and manage emails, and all our systems use Operations Bridge, especially the critical systems."
"After I think ten years of using OML, we finally had some nice dashboards, which enabled us to get more insight and produce reports."
"From our monitoring perspective or from a visibility perspective, HPE UCMDB is a must have. It's an amazing piece of software."
"The implementation of Operation Manager made it possible to centralize the events of several supervision tools such as SiteScope, Network Node Manager or Nagios, and all the enrichment part allowed to reduce the processing time of support tickets because all the information was already present in the alarm."
"It's helped us to increase transparency of our line of business, as well as both transparency and visibility of the IT department within the company."
"The correlation feature is the most used feature. It allows you to correlate events from different sources and have more meaningful events."
"It gives us the ability to monitor the entire infrastructure proactively and reactively."
 

Cons

"In the current organization, we had trouble initially because I think the documentation and support could be better than what it is now."
"Having better documentation that is more openly available would help. Often, it feels necessary to contact someone or search for documentation that is stored behind a login or in another location. It would be beneficial to have one centralized place for everything."
"Our users would like more online community forums where they can exchange information. I would also like a better way to monitor and manage all the automations we have running within our systems because our CoE governance must be robust so we are always aware of what's happening."
"When we are moving from one version to another version, it's very difficult because most of the features stop working. They should first test everything and then release the new version. For example, there's a system variable known as the Excel Cell Row.... When going from version 11.1 to 11.3, this variable was suddenly not supported, and most of our bots were dependent on that. Everything went down..."
"Because we are very new to our process, so we're still sort of working through it."
"The customer service could be improved."
"I would like more cognitive abilities, artificial intelligence, and machine learning. E.g., if I see you, your facial recognition has to be there. If I send your picture, it should tell me your name, where you are from, and when I met you because we forget people. It should have these type of capabilities."
"An additional feature we would like to see is the inclusion of a particular kind of scripting in the development environment itself."
"Technical support is very frustrating because we have probably 12 or 15 years’ experience with the products."
"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."
"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."
"Even though they said it was out for over a year, it was not a product ready for release."
"Our issues are largely support related due to where we are and the knowledge base that we have here. This issue relates both HPE in general and to the technical products."
"The event correlation is not there and it is a complex tool."
"The creation process is not as easy as expected, requiring multiple steps and can be quite complex."
"It is a very complicated product. It's difficult to manage. Nowadays, products are very easy to manage, deploy, and integrate, but Operations Bridge is very complicated to manage."
"The price is quite expensive, and because of this, we may try another solution."
"The advancement of this solution seems to have stalled."
"I know that in the next version, X1005, they're moving to more graphical overviews, which should help our senior managers."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The solution's pricing is pretty decent."
"Based on what I've heard, it's costly, but I don't know much about its pricing."
"The cost is affordable, which makes an easy barrier to entry for the RPA market."
"They are already coming out with a community license, which is really good. That's something that I wish to have."
"We save 34,000 hours of time per year and have recouped up to $6000 in lost revenue."
"Automation Anywhere is costlier than the general competition. That is aligned with the share of the market it has."
"Talk to your manager and try to procure an automation license for training. This will allow you to train people, so you can move to automation."
"I would rate the cost an eight out of ten, with ten being the highest cost."
"From my experience, Asset Manager is expensive."
"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 licensing cost for this solution is approximately $1,000 USD."
"The cost is very high."
"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)."
"It is competitive."
"Pricing is very flexible and depends on the modules selected as per the requirement."
"Setup costs can be high depending on the partner, but it is worth it."
