We performed a comparison between Automation Anywhere (AA) and Eggplant Test based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two Robotic Process Automation (RPA) solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."The ability to automate low decision, highly repetitive tasks and clear large backlogs of tasks that we could not do with our human staff."
"IQ Bot is very helpful as it is easy to learn and implement and the data output accuracy is almost 90%. Over time, the BOT learns from the validation which is an added advantage. Whatever I was thinking for version 11.3, it's being implemented in A2019. The incorporation of Python scripts is also implemented which will be easier for validations."
"The solution is very easy to implement."
"The most valuable features are ease of use and deployment."
"From an SAP point of view, we have in-built features. They have integrated everything together, so it's much easier for us to use that."
"Automation Anywhere has saved us a lot of time, money & efforts by automating our ServiceNow tickets."
"There are multiple levels of cloning. In case screen cloning doesn't work, you can do object-based cloning or keystroke-level cloning, depending upon what parameters are available to you and what is the level of information that you capture. You can traverse between object cloning, which is the lowest form of cloning to a stroke-based cloning, which is like taking care of each keystroke-level which is made by the agent."
"Automation Anywhere has improved our organization by allowing us to reduce the number of new hires, enable us to keep the same workforce, and increase productivity."
"GUI testing is the strength of the tool. The tool works as expected, and the support response from eggPlant, as a company, has been quick and substantial."
"The features that we like the most are the developer interface and the ability to quickly develop and deploy tests."
"Good text reading ability."
"The most valuable features of Eggplant Digital Automation Intelligence are bug hunting and OCR technology."
"The main feature of Eggplant Test is that it can do fully automated web testing and app testing."
"Its scalability is good. It is useful for desktop applications, and it also uses OCR and does image recognition."
"The solution is based on a Windows model, where adding users is just a few clicks. It is easy to manage users and add them."
"It is easy to set up."
"While the ease of use for non-tech users is good, it could be improved."
"When you are hosting the application, that is when it is a little more complicated to set up. You need to talk to the IT department, as you are actually outside of their firewall, then you are coming back inside their cloud."
"There are a lot of issues in the tool. There are a lot of breakdowns."
"It should have more commands, which should remove the dependency on MetaBots or other scripts so that everything is available in the tool itself."
"There is room for improvement when this application is used in a Citrix-based environment."
"Configuring A2019 and using it is getting a little difficult because of frequent errors of compatibility. It is not so user friendly like the enterprise desktop version."
"It is good for standard procedures with an SOP. For those, it works well. But there are processes that are tricky and need human intervention and intelligence. In those cases, the process gets stuck."
"The overall product in Automation Anywhere is good, but they need to improve a little bit on the overall architecture side."
"The IDE could be even more full-featured. Because I was a developer, I was very spoiled by either Visual Studio Code or Visual Studio for shortcuts. For example, I was able to say "ctor" and hit Tab and it would create a template of a constructor for me... It would be great, when I want to create a new function, if there were shortcut commands like those that helped create all of the functions, or if there were shortcut features to do any of the complex plans."
"In terms of additional features, it would be helpful to have one package for all testing. You have the manager, the AI, then you have functional, and about 10 different packages for installing."
"The reporting function is a bit shallow. The solution does not offer very comprehensive reporting in terms of your test results. The reporting time and the logs are very high level as well. These areas need improvement."
"There was no free trial in it."
"The solution would crash from time to time."
"We found that we had issues regarding the VPN setup, which is one of the reasons that we did not purchase this solution."
"It has low productivity."
"Its performance and stability could be better."
