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 is very good for rapid development. It has all the capabilities in terms of giving a stable automation framework. It has very cool technical capabilities, like MetaBots, dev controls, and object cloning."
"The ease of use of the application is very smooth for us, and coming from a finance and business background, I did not have any challenges using the application."
"Automation Anywhere brings speed with accuracy; we are replacing a lot of manual work that our agents used to do, this has been automated now, and we get things done faster."
"It has helped us to save a lot of FTEs for our solutions that we have provided to our companies."
"Automation Anywhere has excellent features."
"My understanding is that the initial setup is pretty straightforward."
"It automates forms for our customers and our analysts."
"The flexibility of Automation Anywhere's truly universal orchestration in integrating with different systems and models has been great for us because we are new to the mission tools and had our data scattered in Salesforce and Oracle Analytics, yet Automation Anywhere has smooth integration with those apps and about ninety percent of our apps are supported, integrating particularly well with Salesforce where our client data and service requests are managed."
"It is stable and scalable."
"This product can be customized according to the needs of any company."
"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."
"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'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."
"It's very scalable and it does seem capable of accepting the volume."
"The ability to integrate directly with the RIPM on top of DSM, using the event feed into OMI, the metrics feed, and features like SHA offers opportunities for faster root cause analysis."
"Purely, its flexibility is the most valuable aspect. It is hugely configurable."
"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 now have a consolidated dashboard that shows availability and performance across key business services, enabling cost optimization, scalability, and efficiencies as we transform multiple monitoring teams into one working off a single console with all the data in one place."
"The initial setup is pretty straightforward. It's not complex at all."
"OpsBridge has good event correlation facilities and root-cause identification algorithms."
 

Cons

"A2019 should have more improvement for developers, as it was in v11.x."
"There is a lot of scope for improvement in terms of stability. It is a concern, because right now we are close to 20 to 25 percent false negatives that are coming up."
"Automation Anywhere could assist in this transition."
"The conversion time of invoices to JSON File should take less time using AA2019 IQBot, the report file creation feature should be added into IQ Bot A2019."
"The product is not the best that it could be. There is always room to improve it a bit more. They are heading in the right direction with their innovations."
"IQ Bot should have an easier way to tag the document's source after extracting information from the document. (Which group does the document or a transaction belong to)."
"What we currently have with Fortress IQ needs to mature more, and I say this since people spend weeks creating PDDs documentation."
"One area requiring improvement is the debugging process. When I use a multi-structure with conditions to switch from one bot to another, successful debugging of the entire process is not feasible. Each bot has to be debugged individually."
"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."
"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."
"With support, you have to apply some changes which require a restart. That is in fact unacceptable."
"We also need a better road map and a more affordable price."
"The installation instructions are a mess to the point where the advice given to us by other HPE people has been to not follow the instructions, but to follow the VMEs instead."
"Implementation could be improved. We also need training and a good partner in order to install and configure it."
"Reporting has to be tackled a bit more. Conceptually, it is there and conceptually it is amazing, but somehow the module itself is suffering."
"I'm not aware of areas that need improvement."
"Implementation could be improved."
"Even though they said it was out for over a year, it was not a product ready for release."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The cost is anywhere between $10,000 and $100,000."
"Automation Anywhere is reasonably priced because it can sustain us for a long period."
"On average, a bot runner in Automation Anywhere can cost $5,000, while in Microsoft Power Automate, you can get most of the same functionality for $100."
"Its cost is good."
"Our advice is that anybody interested in this product should negotiate product bundles in order to reduce the cost of installation and setup."
"On a scale of one to ten with ten being the most expensive, I rate the price of Automation Anywhere an eight out of ten."
"The licensing fees are approximately $10,000 USD for between five and ten users."
"Automation Anywhere's pricing is significantly higher than other RPA solutions."
"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 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."
"It is competitive."
"The cost is very high."
