We performed a comparison between Automation Anywhere (AA) and Selenium HQ based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
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."Speed is the most valuable feature. E.g., for a human, it could take around 60 minutes to create a report with a few errors. Occasionally, a person will miss something. With this bot, we can get the work done in around five minutes. So, it takes only five minutes for a report to scan and be created with fewer errors."
"Automation Anywhere has significantly improved our organization's efficiency. Across various processes, we have achieved a 90% time savings for each use case, making our workflow much more streamlined and productive."
"Instead of packages like other RPA tools, I think the repo check-in and check-out feature enables the same in AA."
"The CyberArk integration and setup are really amazing and it helps us to win deals for new projects."
"Object cloning with an option to enter wildcard selection was very useful when working in a web application that generated dynamic HTML content."
"With the help of Bot, it has increased the productivity of the current process and we do not need to spend more time on error resolution and rectification."
"IQ Bots are extremely powerful. We are using them increasingly more where we're about to look through a lot unstructured sources, like PDF documents, scanned images, contracts, etc. We are able to take the data out, then use that toward processing structured data and creating insights for our clients."
"I don't think one feature is more valuable than any other. In my opinion, the value is in the totality of the platform. It is easy to use for our developers with a well laid out UI and many canned tools. The Control Room is very easy to navigate and mostly intuitive to use."
"Selenium HQ's most valuable feature is its online community support, which is comprehensive and easy to access."
"The solution is very flexible; there are different ways of using it. It's open-source and has a lot of support on offer."
"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 HQ has a lot of capabilities and is compatible with many languages."
"It is a scalable solution."
"I am impressed with the product's ability to catch content from website."
"The most valuable feature is the Selenium grid, which allows us to run tests in parallel."
"There is a supportive community around it."
"While using IQ Bot we found that data extraction accuracy is a bit weaker in semi-structured documents compared with structured documents. We would like to see improvement in the data extraction part of Automation Anywhere IQ Bot."
"There can be some options to connect to the database directly where we should be able to add some data."
"Bots get disconnected from control rooms sometimes without any reason and this takes up a lot of time."
"The API integration should be improved further since it is a bit difficult at the moment to connect with the API in the enterprise version."
"Automation Anywhere can improve by implementing a Citrix environment and increasing the stability of tools, such as IQ bot."
"It could be improved in terms of the global analysis of all the issues caused by the dependency components. For example, if bots are running on virtual machines on Microsoft Windows 2019, sometimes an issue might come from the virtual machine. Automation Anywhere should work closely with Microsoft or any other editor with which there are some issues occurring and stopping the bots from running properly."
"The object cloning that exists cannot capture 80 percent of the objects that we need it to capture."
"There is room for improvement in terms of costs and procurement considerations."
"The solution can be improved by providing better reporting logs."
"I would like to see some reporting or test management tools."
"If they can integrate more recording features, like UFT, it would be helpful for automation, but it's not necessary. They can also add a few more reporting features for advanced reporting."
"Handling frames and windows needs to be improved."
"Selenium Grid set-up is bit complex."
"The initial setup of Selenium HQ is difficult in many areas, such as the framework."
"I would like to see XPath made more reliable so that it can be used in all browsers."
"The installation could be simplified, it is a bit difficult to install."
