Find out what your peers are saying about UiPath, Microsoft, Automation Anywhere and others in Robotic Process Automation (RPA)."It integrates with different types of applications, so we can automate our business partners' redundant, repetitive tasks."
"The customer engagement is really deep, and they work with the “gemba”. They work with operations very closely. I also believe they have a good product roadmap."
"Excel automation is one of the best features in Automation Anywhere. If we have to work with multiple excel sheets with lots of rows and columns, it gets really difficult to keep track of this is done manually. But Automation Anywhere makes it really simple and error-free."
"I really like the Automation Anywhere University website because it has a lot of good documents that you can read to learn about the solution."
"The flexibility which has been built into it is its most valuable feature."
"Our bots have automated time consuming tasks and completely freed up one person to do real work."
"If we want to read a scanned PDF, we use IQ Bot. Using the cognitive detail of IQ Bot and some machine learning abilities, we can train the IQ Bot to process all scanned PDF documents and give the results in an Excel file. This is a very good feature introduced by Automation Anywhere. IQ Bot is doing well."
"We have a lot of clients who use AA bots in their own process. Automated that are automated require less human input. AA bots save lots of time, increase efficiency, deliver accurate output, and provide consistency which improves the overall function of processes in different domains."
"I think the pricing is quite fair because this solution provides a lot of functionalities, and is quite stable."
"We had a number of back-end services that were not available during testing times. What this had allowed us to do is get our early life testing done while those services are not available."
"Helps us to remove barriers that we have with dependencies on services that we don't own, or services that don't even exist yet."
"The most valuable feature is that it supports so many protocols. We, being a large bank, have almost all the protocols, and it supports all of them, so that's one good thing."
"The most valuable features include the capability to use other program languages such as PLSQR, JAVA, .NET."
"The ability to create virtual services and deploy them as Docker containers, and include them in our Jenkins build pipelines, is a valuable feature."
"We have had developers produce code later than we wanted to, but we've had some other stuff that was dependent on that. So what we were able to do was virtualize these assets and then go forward with our developer and not have to wait for these additional services to be available."
"You can create virtual services from a live recording or convert raw traffic into request/response pairs."
"Excel automation or the activities for Excel is an area of improvement."
"Extracting customer addresses from Google that are not in a standard URL format is a challenge for Automation Anywhere."
"Automation Anywhere can improve process mining."
"I would like to see a lot around API integration going forward, like the ability for other systems to talk to the AI better by opening it up. I would like to see more chatbots or anything in the journey of making it truly immersive for human workers working with these bots."
"Autosuggestion of existing use cases based on the problem statement could use improvement."
"Automation Anywhere has to be integrated with machine learning and AI systems to read images and videos, then put the information into another format."
"With any new upgrades, we have to make changes in the codes. To us, this means that the tool is not stable. We have been told by Automation Anywhere that this will be fixed in future releases."
"As a developer or user, I feel that the performance of the overall package could be made a little better or reliable. For example, if I'm opening up a heavy Excel file, which is uploaded in some shared drive over the net, and I have my box coded to open that Excel to do some work or formatting on it, and depending on the network load and the size of the file, this client version while trying to access that file becomes unstable at times. It goes into the hang position until a human being comes in, ends the task, and restarts it. Until this happens, it does not respond."
"It is not a stable solution."
"I would rate the tech support a nine out of ten. They need more knowledge about the connectivity to DevOps orchestration."
"CA actually releases a new version every year. We had issues with the upgrade prior to the latest one."
"The workstation component has a very out-dated UI and is in dire need of a facelift."
"I really want to see more of the "express" kind of model, where you get a little bit for free. I'd love to be able to see you be able to edit and author tests without having to be connected to a licensed server. And then, if you want to go and execute tests, then you go and connect to the server... I think it would unblock people to be able to do a lot more work from home or from remote places, where they can't really connect to the server."
"I'd like to see more of the newer technologies included in there, looking mainly from a mobile perspective, possibly, so you can virtualize some of the aspects that we're going to be doing for mobile testing."
"More examples of portal-based virtualization."
"One major feature I would like to see is on the user administration part. Right now, anybody can access any of the folders and any of the projects."
