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

"In one of the use cases, we used to have around 300 tickets per month which has been reduced to almost zero now."
"AA has improved our efficiency and saved on manual hours because no manual interaction is required."
"Some of the key features of Automation Anywhere include the simplicity that enables developers to build bots very quickly in a standard delivery fashion."
"The most valuable feature is that a job by RPA can be done three or four times faster than a human without human error."
"What I appreciate most about Automation Anywhere is its user interface, which is very friendly and simple when compared to UiPath and Power Automate, featuring drag-and-drop capabilities, control rooms for both cloud and on-premises, and the ability for business users to run bots with just half an hour of training."
"It helps improve performance and helps companies save time and money."
"Toward this life cycle, we have a very structured approach of governing, monitoring, and tracking, that's the approach we have taken. Insights we gain from this governance, we apply towards automation strategy and implementations. We've done this for many clients across the globe. We are happy to share those experiences with some of you as well."
"We have saved customers 400% in terms of time saved by implementing this product."
"We are constantly using this product and we are constantly improving this product."
"It is stable and scalable."
"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."
"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."
"OpenText AI Operations Management has an agent system where you can directly add plugins and collect metrics and logs, and it is really difficult to collect these kinds of things such as metric data with other systems, but it is easier with this platform."
"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."
"Flexible dashboard with the availability of widgets."
"The initial setup is pretty straightforward. It's not complex at all."
"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's highly stable; it's worked well for me for eight to ten years and I haven't had any issues with bugs or glitches."
"It gives us the ability to monitor the entire infrastructure proactively and reactively."
"The correlation feature is the most used feature. It allows you to correlate events from different sources and have more meaningful events."
 

Cons

"Especially while using v11, I often experience freezes with OCR extraction from PDF files."
"There are occasional technical issues, particularly with cloud operations. Sometimes, the bot struggles to initiate on the cloud, even when everything appears in place."
"Automation Anywhere could enhance its services by establishing a local office in our region to provide better support."
"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."
"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."
"The initial setup for the program was not straightforward. It was definitely complex."
"We encountered issues during the upgrade of the framework."
"There should be more available Data Analytics and more AI Front and Deep Learn concepts."
"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 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."
"The predictive analytics feature is very close to being integrated, but it is not fully integrated at this time."
"Installing and upgrading the HPOM and Operations Agent software is not always easy and the process can be quite fragile. Once it is running, it is very quick and stable, but an upgrade can quite easily break something or terminate unexpectedly."
"If you're using the full functionality, it can be a bit naive to think, “I'm going to just deliver this all singing, all dancing gold plated Rolls Royce in the solution; all in one go." For a large organization it's quite a task, so we're starting off with minimal migration and not just put another in."
"In a future release, we would like an improved upgrade process. When you upgrade it now, it first uninstalls everything and then reinstalls all the packages, which means any customization that you've done in the directories on the surface disappears."
"The service takes a very long time to start and it requires a lot of resources."
"I see room for improvement in the licensing scheme area. It's getting more complex day by day."
"There is need to have more out-of-the-box support for HPE products itself."
"It can be cumbersome to get up and running. And it's very expensive."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Automation Anywhere is flexible in terms of costing and licensing."
"The setup and licensing cost is affordable, and it is not exaggerated like UiPath."
"The product starts at $10,000 and then it's up to you regarding how much you can consume."
"We save 34,000 hours of time per year and have recouped up to $6000 in lost revenue."
"We have purchased licenses, but are trying to obtain more bot programmer licenses."
"We have saved time and money using this solution."
"We would like them to change the license model of charging per bot."
"We have reduced our headcount, approximately 200 to 300 employees, by eliminating manual, repetitive work. It provides profit to the business."
"From my experience, Asset Manager is expensive."
"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 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."
"Pricing is very flexible and depends on the modules selected as per the requirement."
