We performed a comparison between Automation Anywhere (AA) and Visual Studio Test Professional 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."Automation Anywhere is one of the most popular RPA vendors offering powerful and user-friendly RPA capabilities to automate the business processes that are performed by humans. AA is a web-based management system that includes a control to run end-to-end automated business tasks for companies."
"The feature we found to be the most valuable is the documentation automation as it allows us to focus on the actual important piece of building automation instead of tracking some of the repugnant documentation that goes along with building automation."
"The flexibility which has been built into it is its most valuable feature."
"Automation Anywhere improved our organization since it saved us a lot monetary value."
"It has the ability to tag different components within the automation. We built it to track the ROI and stability of the product."
"It has helped us relieve the workload on our human workforce and thus ensures that they remain productive and motivated at all times thus work efficiently."
"When I compare it with other RPA tools, Automation Anywhere seems pretty good. It's a user-friendly tool. Anyone can easily understand it. If there is an error, you can easily debug it from the developer level. In Automation Anywhere, the error handling happens in the easiest way. In case of an error, we send an email. It's not too difficult code to understand. There's only beginning and ending error handling, which is easy to understand."
"Sometimes the customer will not provide any data. Using Automation Anywhere, we can easily automate to capture the customer data. Then, we can use that customer data inside the Cisco Unified Wire Voice Portal."
"The initial setup is easy. It's easy to configure."
"The most valuable features of the solution are its ease of use and availability."
"The most valuable features are tools like IntelliSense and ReSharper."
"Customization is the most powerful feature of this product."
"The stability has always been very good."
"One of the best documentation in the world."
"It is a good and user-friendly tool."
"The solution is very stable; there's nothing in relation to stability to complain about."
"I would like more cognitive abilities, artificial intelligence, and machine learning. E.g., if I see you, your facial recognition has to be there. If I send your picture, it should tell me your name, where you are from, and when I met you because we forget people. It should have these type of capabilities."
"It is difficult to learn all the possibilities that the product and automation itself offer."
"Having some more pre-mapping and pre-setup analysis of what you're going to be doing with it would be helpful."
"Unwanted windows are popping up. We have to train a bot to recognize the window if it comes up, know what it is, and click it. If it is interrupting our bot, I just want to avoid that window, because I am getting failed logs."
"Some things that I do not see as of today are interactive chat or video interface. These are things that I will look for in future. I saw something like picture recognition, but something like a video or voice recognition is something that I'm looking for in the Automation Anywhere platform as an end user and even as a reseller."
"They can further improve the AI. It is already at a certain level, but it can be improved."
"We would like a smoother process for moving bots and tasks between the different development environments, from development to testing to production. We find this to be pretty cumbersome to work through."
"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."
"The solution's deployment is not very easy and should be made easier."
"The performance could be faster."
"The solution is quite expensive."
"Enhancing the support for web application testing and load performance would be an improvement."
"The tool crashes and has high memory consumption."
"The price could be improved."
"It is hard to learn, and you need to invest time to understand it."
"The documentation is limited."
