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

"Automation Anywhere consistently ranks at the top, matching our vision and strategy for implementing transformative solutions."
"Co-Pilot is a valuable feature."
"By using this, we are saving time and we no need to do routine work, as it is now automated and the result is shared with all of the end-users."
"The core RPA capability is valuable."
"Because of this product's features, I would rate Automation Anywhere as a game changer."
"With Agentic capability, you can actually do those things; it has memory, it has access to tools, and it can do the job on our behalf as opposed to just telling us what to do."
"It has helped us look at how our processes are organized."
"As a solution, Automation Anywhere is complete for business users and developers."
"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."
"It is stable and scalable."
"This product can be customized according to the needs of any company."
"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."
"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."
"We have gone from 100 to 700 servers without any hiccups; it is a very scalable product."
"In Micro Focus OBM, everything was controlled at the node level and now everything can be controlled at the console level."
"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."
"Be patient, and take things step by step to get it going; once that takes place, it's pretty self-sufficient."
"The most valuable feature is that everything can be consolidated into one dashboard."
"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."
"It gives us the ability to monitor the entire infrastructure proactively and reactively."
 

Cons

"Automation Anywhere could improve its integration with Python and other programming languages."
"The data migration could be better."
"They are working on scalability, but I'm expecting them maybe a faster pace for the thing already in place. They need to improve the extraction and accuracy. It's a sort of a journey that we started with a few fears that may end up with a 100 or 200 fears. These are our expectations from IQ Bot. We are quite hopeful that a future release will solve this problem."
"We have had so many stability issues."
"The goal of any automation is to provide efficiencies... I would like a default feature where each bot gives us data on all the benefits it provides from its process."
"It does not easily integrate with customized solutions."
"A lot more can be done to make the solution easy for developer to use."
"Working with the Automation Anywhere servers and domains have proven to be difficult. We are trying to get more licenses and servers set up, so we can run multiple scenarios simultaneously."
"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."
"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."
"The usability of this product is still out-of-date and could be improved. The interface could be improved."
"The setup process can get a little bit complex."
"Currently the BVD, it's not living. We would like to see more sensors in the dashboard."
"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."
"The price is quite expensive, and because of this, we may try another solution."
"The dashboards from OpenText Operations Bridge, when compared to those from Splunk, are less visually appealing."
"The latest versions of the service reporting dashboards need improvement, such as service modeling."
"I think HP gives you everything you need, but they are not agile and innovative enough."
"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."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"I don't deal have cost specifics but I can say it is a tool that provides value for the money."
"Automation Anywhere is cheaper than UiPath and Blue Prism. From a market point of view, Automation Anywhere is reasonable. Any organization can adopt Automation Anywhere."
"Cost is the biggest area in need of improvement for Automation Anywhere. Annually it's $250,000. That's what deterred us right away."
"I am using that Automation Anywhere Master Certification for version 11. Recently, this has been updated in Automation Anywhere University. Until this month, it's free to use. There are no charges. That's why I would like to complete it this month."
"The cost of this solution is a little bit high, but it is worth the price."
"If it is saving FTE and Generating a good ROI then it is Worth Investing."
"It's fine. However, I'm concerned with the credits in terms of the pricing for the AI models. It is understandable that the new ones are more expensive, but the base models, after doing the pricing conversion, cost about four to ten times as much as paying directly."
"Automation Anywhere's pricing falls within the mid-range, but the long-term benefits outweigh the initial investment."
"From my experience, Asset Manager is expensive."
"Pricing is very flexible and depends on the modules selected as per the requirement."
"It is competitive."
"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 cost is very high."
"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."
