Quotes From Members
We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"Automation Anywhere has a uniqueness with respect to the IQ Bot.""Non-developers can use the tool to create bots. Also, it is very easy for developers to use.""What I like about Automation Anywhere is the object cloning and the way you can move the mouse and either go to a particular point or go to an element. That's very easy and intuitive in Automation Anywhere... If I need to mimic a human behavior, I will use Automation Anywhere.""It is easy to use and deploy.""The Automation Anywhere University is a good tool. It goes topic-by-topic with real-time examples.""My understanding is that the initial setup is pretty straightforward.""The universal recorder along with the Excel basic and advanced packages has been highly valuable.""The immediate impact is administrative tasks which were traditionally done manually are now being done by robots. This reduces the workload for people."

"I like the fact that it's very fast. The processing speed is good, and that's what matters to me. I also like that we don't have to bother with the infrastructure setup. We don't have to care about the status of the data set, as I believe the local group will provide it. We don't care about the licensing model. We only have to care about how long we are using it.""It's easy to deploy bots via the API helper in Control Room. Robocorp's debugging features are also robust. It shows you a lot of data.""I can use it as a library by importing Python scripts, allowing me to access its many features while working with coding.""The solution is based on Python which makes it very valuable.""As a developer, I found it easy to integrate third-party applications with Robocorp. I have previous experience with Selenium, and I found the Robocorp framework to be accessible because it uses Python and Selenium keywords.""The price is good.""Robocorp is based on Python, so you can use Python scripts and create libraries for your use cases. Building libraries and custom scripts for a particular client and general use cases is easy. We can reuse those scripts for other clients, so we start seeing benefits quickly.""It offers high scalability and enables automation in ways that haven't been possible before."

Cons
"Having some more pre-mapping and pre-setup analysis of what you're going to be doing with it would be helpful.""Blue Prism is more secure than Automation Anywhere. E.g., Blue Prism has a system that is difficult to penetrate. You can't simply go into their system and make any changes.""I would like them to add OCR features. This would help us deal with unstructured data and we can get more data out of images.""The bot creation process is straightforward in some ways and complicated in others. You can get your initial stuff laid out really quick, but then putting in your exception handling is more time consuming.""Technical support needs to be worked on as the turnaround time can be around a week, even though we are just using the solution on a pilot basis. We are working in real-time with realistic data. While the process of a logging a ticket is good, the process from logging a ticket to closure needs faster support time.""We have had issues with stability in the past, and there should be a function that helps you to find out what is wrong with your environment that is causing the automation to fail.""We would like to see more capability for integration and more customization available with some features.""On the cognitive side, some of their competitors, when we were originally shopping, were a little more advanced in that space. Making use of probabilistic outcomes and presenting them to a business user is a feature that, at the time of our evaluation, did not feel like a strong, mature solution for Automation Anywhere. Nevertheless, they won our business. That is one feature where I feel they are trying to make investments to address those gaps."

More Automation Anywhere (AA) Cons →

"The standard libraries in Robocorp should be more advanced.""I preferred the user interface in the older versions. When troubleshooting, it's sometimes hard to find details about where things went wrong. You need to search a little harder. It takes more clicks to get to where you want to go. It can be somewhat confusing. When you run a process that fails, it takes you somewhere you may not expect.""There are certain libraries in Python, such as those dealing with PDF automation and word files, that require the presence of certain external dependencies in the environment to be successfully used.""We use the latest version of the process studio and it takes up a lot of CPU storage. In our case, this has been up to 14 GB of storage.""The deployment process is complex and not straightforward, especially for legacy modernization.""An additional feature I'm looking for in Robocorp is SAP automation.""It would be better if it were more user-friendly for non-technical users. It would be better if they had some drag-and-drop features to create logic.""The solution could be more stable."

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 →

  • "The solution is a very affordable price."
  • "The price is cheaper than other competitors. I would rate the cost as one out of five."
  • "The pricing is fine."
  • "You don't have to pay for the license. You have to pay for the time you use it."
  • "Robocorp is much better in terms of pricing compared to UiPath."
  • "In terms of licenses, there is a return on investment in that area."
  • "It's a cost-effective solution."
  • "The product has good pricing."
