We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"Automation Anywhere has saved us a lot of time, money & efforts by automating our ServiceNow tickets.""Anywhere contributed to increased efficiency, reduced manual efforts, and notable time savings across various processes.""It integrates with different types of applications, so we can automate our business partners' redundant, repetitive tasks.""The most valuable feature in this solution is the IQ Bot.""The best part about A2019 is its ease of use. You don't need to be a coding champ or an expert to use and implement A2019 in automating tasks. It's very easy to learn, tweak, and implement in your day-to-day tasks, especially features like capture/record is completely marvelous.""The support team responds quickly.""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.""It extracts what the IQ Bot does, converting it and ensuring the entire process right from the input to the output and is fully automated. It is digitizing a particular process, which is really great."

More Automation Anywhere (AA) Pros →

"The main core concept behind this product is, it takes the overhead of maintaining all of your devices or particular computers. It continuously adds the latest devices that are coming into the market.""It's helpful for me to test on different devices.""The most valuable feature of BrowserStack is the ability to do manual testing.""Testing across devices and browsers without maintaining that inventory is invaluable.""The integration is very good.""I've worked on testing integrations with BrowserStack, particularly with a platform called IT. This involves testing the registration process, including receiving verification codes on devices and phones. BrowserStack has been excellent for testing these integrations, providing a seamless workflow development experience.""We like the model device factory for iOS and Android devices.""The speed of the solution and its performance are valuable."

Cons
"I would like to have a command that allows me to add code, like C#. As a developer, this would be helpful.""The IQ Bot could use improvement.""An additional feature we would like to see is the inclusion of a particular kind of scripting in the development environment itself.""Automation Anywhere can improve by implementing a Citrix environment and increasing the stability of tools, such as IQ bot.""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.""There could be more training provided by Automation Anywhere.""The integration in UiPath is much better. Automation Anywhere's latest version has improved. It's fine but not as good as UiPath.""I have had a couple of crashes and issues."

More Automation Anywhere (AA) Cons →

"While I was testing I was not 100% sure a that was properly mimicking the browsers or not. We had some issues with a browser, and the reason was the browser itself does not provide any support. If the local system does not provide any support, I think this was the problem. There should be better integration with other solutions, such as JIRA.""We are struggling to do local testing.""There is some stability issue in the product, making it in areas where improvements are required.""The solution is slow.""BrowserStack should work on its Internet connectivity although issues only occur occasionally.""Sometimes BrowserStack is really slow and devices are not loading. it is really annoying and that's why we bought several newer devices because sometimes it's affecting us a lot.""BrowserStack operates at a slow pace, it could improve by making it faster.""We had some execution issues."

Pricing and Cost Advice
  • "Pricing is too high for small-scale groups. The Control Room yearly fee is high, making it difficult to break even."
  • "Automation Anywhere is competitive... Pega is somewhat comparable, but Pega also requires a lot more infrastructure and a lot more experience to get up and running."
  • "Automation Anywhere is costlier than the general competition. That is aligned with the share of the market it has."
  • "They're very flexible around pricing and licensing."
  • "They give us a good deal on the licensing because we bundle and customize things. If you ask to get a bulk business deal, you will receive more benefit. If you take other products from the suite, like IQ Bot, you can also receive a deal on the licensing."
  • "We just did a round of price comparison on a global scale and found it's so hard to compare the license prices. But, Automation Anywhere, in general, is on the same price level as the other vendors, a bit lower in some cases."
  • "If you look at the capital expenditure, Automation Anywhere is number two to UiPath. But if you take a long-term view, on a scalable model of a large number of bots coming out, it slowly goes on to become the costliest tool. There is something they can do about that. The capital expenditure goes out right at the point of buying the tool. For Automation Anywhere, I would need to spend $20,000. UiPath can give me something for $6,000, while Blue Prism will come in at $300,000."
  • "It's cheaper than other similar solutions."
  • More Automation Anywhere (AA) Pricing and Cost Advice →

  • "This solution costs less than competing products."
  • "The price is fine."
  • "There are different licenses available that can be customized. You can select the features that you want only to use which can be a cost-benefit."
  • "BrowserStack could have a better price, but good things have a price."
  • "The price of BrowserStack is high."
  • "Compared to other solutions, BrowserStack is one of the cheapest."
  • "My company found the product's license to be very compatible with our budget, and we pay 5,000 to 10,000 per year for licenses."
  • "As for pricing, I can't provide a clear evaluation as I'm not directly involved in those discussions."
