Find out in this report how the two Regression Testing Tools solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."Automation Anywhere has improved my organization by automating many rule-based and nonjudgmental processes in domains like telecommunications, human resources, financial services, and daily or monthly reporting."
"When our organization switched to Automation Anywhere, the accuracy rate improved and consequently, there has not been much data loss."
"The development of the company from Automation Anywhere V11 to a2019 was valuable. I found many important and new features, like changing the way we write code and programming. It became much easier and very flexible in version 2019A. It became very easy to use and the recording was also good. Excel became very good too."
"Workbench, which is a development tool, is very friendly. It is complete. Compared to Power Automate, Automation Anywhere is much more comprehensive and easy to understand."
"Bots add a lot of productivity and value to our business, because a robot can work for 24/7. They work a lot better, as compared to a human being, specifically for tasks which are repetitive in nature."
"It an easy, simple, and user-friendly tool that can be accessed through the mobile application as well."
"The most valuable feature is IQ Bot, as it allowed us to train it to extract important logistical information from customer PDF documents, irrespective of the format."
"While RPA is the cutting-edge technology to bring digital transformation, the RPA as a service will reduce costs and increase efficiency with ease of deployment, less maintenance, and cheaper upgrade costs."
"The testing solution produces the best web applications."
"My customer previously validated every file and it would take almost 15-20 minutes for a document. They used to randomly select and test only 100 out of the thousands, maybe 85,000, files, to pick up sampling. Each file would take around 20 to 25 minutes, so we were not able to do it manually, but with the help of Selenium, we were able to test all the files in two days. It saves a lot of time."
"Selenium has helped to complete tests in less time, which would not be possible relying on manual testing only."
"Selenium HQ lets you create your customized functions with whatever language you want to use, like Python, Java, .NET, etc. You can integrate with Selenium and write."
"It's available open-source and free. To install it, I just have to download it. It also doesn't require too many hardware resources compared to Micro Focus."
"It supports most of the actions that a user would do on a website."
"You can build your own framework. I think that's the most powerful feature. You can connect with a lot of other tools that use frameworks, or keywords, etc. That helps make it a stronger solution."
"It is more stable in comparison to other solutions because they have quite some experience in the market."
"I would like to see them continue building out documentation with more video-aides."
"I would like to see more stability around scheduling a bot to run headless."
"The Excel part needs improvement because we use it as a database. Right now, we are using UiPath for this feature, as that RPA tool allows us to sort, search, and filter in Excel databases."
"One of the important drawbacks of Automation Anywhere is that it needs to be able to show the automated process as a single flowchart."
"If the option were available to use the old generic-style variable type, it would be helpful."
"The capability of understanding and extracting documents is not very good."
"The license cost is high and needs improvement."
"It would be useful to have some updates for the control room in terms of analytics."
"Handling frames and windows needs to be improved."
"I would like to see automatic logs generated."
"There should be standardized frameworks to build automation."
"There are some synchronization issues"
"The solution can be improved by providing better reporting logs."
"For people that don't know about technology, maybe it's difficult to use."
"Selenium Grid set-up is bit complex."
"We do not have enough resources or enough people to employ and hire. So, I'm hiring whoever I find, and they don't always have enough technical knowledge to operate Selenium."
