Quotes From Members
We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"Pulling data from web pages using Object Cloning has been an absolute delight.""At the most granular level, automating people's daily tasks has been helpful by freeing them up to do higher value-add activities, which is definitely beneficial.""This most valuable features of this solution are the drag-and-drop interface, and it is easy to code.""The CyberArk integration and setup are really amazing and it helps us to win deals for new projects.""We are able to sell it very easily compared to its competitors. Another piece is the stability part. The third piece is something which is the customer experience: The ease to work with it. The Automation Anywhere, as a partner, is very easy to work with. They are there when you need them, whether you are in the initial journey of automation, you are figuring out what is the right opportunity, or whether you are in the journey of deploying the bot or support. They are there with you at each of those stages.""We spend less time preparing data.""We do plenty of manual processing every day. This is repetitive work where an employee will come and do the same task. The tool helps us to avoid those repetitive tasks and save dollars.""The reporting capabilities are pretty nice."

"The tool's most valuable feature is data import. The OCR feature helps to recognize the data. It can recognize screen and document numbers well.""This software is very smart - it can decide from a picture if we like that condition, and then the robot will do that action."

Cons
"Some of the machine learning (ML) components are still in development. They deployed many of them, but they are doing some improvements on the machine learning part.""Had we had access to the RPA bots in advance, we would have practiced before fully implementing.""It has been challenging integrating Automation Anywhere with other solutions, due to all of the controls, as we are a bank.""When it comes to Citrix automation, AA should improve or add more features in such a way that all the commands should work when automating a Citrix application.""The customization feature should be made more user-friendly in order to enable the use of external reference components.""The support and user community need improvement. For example, it would be nice to have a place for those who create bots to have a place to share information and success stories.""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.""When I change the name of a variable in the Variable Manager, I would really like it to change in the code."

More Automation Anywhere (AA) Cons →

"Something that could be improved is that this solution can't run when the computer is locked, which meant we had to implement it in our own on-prem server as it never auto-locks.""The OCR has issues recognizing handwritten data."

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."

  • "We pay yearly for the agent who runs the processes, plus an additional fee for maintenance costs."
