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 simply train the Bot by uploading sample files, and it then begins classifying, processing, and extracting the data within a short span of time."
"The solution helps with reducing operational costs, which can be reduced by up to 30% to 40% in savings in terms of operational cost."
"Business process automation has improved the efficiency and accuracy of processes and reduced manual efforts which can be utilized in value addition for the firm."
"For the tasks that I do repeatedly, I can record processes using Automation Anywhere. I record mouse and keyboard actions and create a workflow for those activities. This minimizes my workload. The recording option is very useful."
"The solution's most valuable feature is its ease of use."
"Before Automation Anywhere, the insurance companies used to transfer data manually from one app to another, but after introducing them to automation the speed and accuracy have been outstanding."
"The ease of use and its ability to change the code when something in the main process or core process changes. The ease of use is really good."
"Because it reduced the time duration of our processes, our costs went down."
"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."
"This product can be customized according to the needs of any company."
"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 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 aspect of Operations Bridge for us is its integration capabilities."
"It gives us the ability to monitor the entire infrastructure proactively and reactively."
"It's very scalable and it does seem capable of accepting the volume."
"It is stable."
"It's really the basis for everything we do for event management, for enterprise management."
"HPE helped us aggregate, and we now have all these layers in one layer, so we are looking at the service from the core of it, not from a resource perspective or from an IT, servers-based perspective."
"I rate OpenText Operations Bridge as a solid nine on a scale of one to ten."
 

Cons

"The solution is costly and the licensing is very confusing."
"Anything that can be done to increase the stability from a system standpoint in regards to large-scale systems, which are being used by a number of applications, e.g., Salesforce or Workday."
"Also, the Master certification should be provided free of cost for partners. More practical samples and examples of bots using new features in A2019 should be available in people Documentation. A2019 presentation material for proposing A2019 as an RPA choice should be provided to partners."
"With the user interface, a lot of the parts of it I really like, but there are some things that could be made a little simpler. A little less clicking around here and dragging over there to use."
"There is an issue with security where users can see the values in the credential vault."
"Setting up Automation Anywhere is a bit complex."
"If I were to mention one area for improvement, it would be on advanced AI commands, such as advanced coding. While this is not critically needed since Automation Anywhere is doing great, improving in that area could be beneficial."
"I would like to see web and cloud-based platforms for future releases."
"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."
"The pricing could be improved."
"The product and the UI need updating. Everything about the user experience needs updating."
"The predictive analytics feature is very close to being integrated, but it is not fully integrated at this time."
"For OMi, it's not stable enough to get an enterprise solution out of it."
"The pricing is a bit expensive for smaller companies."
"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."
"I would evaluate them as weak, unfortunately. They're barely bearable in the quality of the guys that support us."
"The price is quite expensive, and because of this, we may try another solution."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"It is not too expensive, but there are many tools available in the market that can provide the same functionality at a cheaper price."
"The price for Automation Anywhere is reasonable."
"Automation Anywhere is thought to be quite expensive, especially for smaller organizations."
"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."
"We have seen ROI in terms of cost and time with a couple of our projects."
"Cost-wise, it is fine. A lot of medium businesses prefer Automation Anywhere. The development cost is also lower."
"The enterprise version is expensive for small businesses and individual users."
"In terms of monetary savings, we automated a bot in three days that has saved us $30,000 in costs."
"From my experience, Asset Manager is expensive."
"Pricing is very flexible and depends on the modules selected as per the requirement."
"It is competitive."
"The cost is very high."
"Setup costs can be high depending on the partner, but it is worth it."
"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 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."
