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."This most valuable features of this solution are the drag-and-drop interface, and it is easy to code."
"The bot creation process is simple and useful. Whatever you need to do, it is there. If there is something else, there are the MetaBot functions."
"It saves a lot of effort and hours. It is time-efficient and cost-efficient."
"We have hundreds of cases a day. There were around two to three employees who were just moving a case from one state to another. This was a repetitive, tedious job, which was frustrating for the employees. It helps to have the bot doing this work now. We have immediately seen effects, so this is a good use for it."
"Even as we were getting into RPA for the first time, I found it easy to understand this tool."
"Scalability is good. There is no question about its scalability."
"Non-developers can use the tool to create bots. Also, it is very easy for developers to use."
"We have the MetaBot feature, which is valuable because we can read reusable components in the MetaBot, then use them as a framework."
"Selenium HQ lets you create your customized functions with whatever language you want to use, like Python, Java, .NET, etc. You can integrate with Selenium and write."
"The most valuable features of Selenium HQ are it is open-source, has a good interface, and integrates well."
"Since Selenium HQ has multiple plug-ins, we can use it with multiple tools and multiple languages."
"Data parametrization and parallelization are the most important features in any automation tool."
"The solution is free to use."
"The most valuable feature of Selenium HQ is it provides support for third-party tools, such as screenshots, and automates Windows-based applications."
"I like its simplicity."
"Has a good Workday application that enables us to handle some of the custom controls."
"The bot creation process is tedious. The solution has a lot of features, but since you have to drag down a lot of the commands, it can get tedious to use it. You end up having to use the mouse a lot more."
"We would like to see more options for merging and un-merging PDFs. More flexibility there would be good. We've figured out ways around this and, using their software, we've been able to do everything we wanted to do. It just took a bit more time to do it. We were on version 10.5 and in their Bot Store they actually had a bot that did exactly what we wanted to do, but it was for Version 11.0."
"Automation Anywhere should improve its OCR command, as it's my observation that I have faced data loss or improper data being extracted."
"If I build a bot today and don't use it, however, in several months, someone tries to use it, there's a 30-40% change the bot will fail in one or two areas."
"We had several issues when trying to connect the different components, due to our firewalls. They were eventually solved by our internal IT and the AA technical team."
"Automation Anywhere needs to have more testing tools to improve the testing portion of the solution."
"AA should include more features in the mobile app, such as monitoring and debugging bots."
"There could be improvement in the reporting and insights into the ROI. The ROI tool that shows the performance and the return on investment is not very accurate."
"The login could be improved, to obviate the need for relying on another one for integration with Selenium HQ"
"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."
"It does require a programming skill set. I would like the product not to require a heavy programming skill set and be more user-friendly for someone without a programming background."
"Handling frames and windows needs to be improved."
"We can only use Selenium HQ for desktop applications which would be helpful. We are only able to do online based applications."
"Shadow DOM could be improved and the handling of single page applications. Right now, it's a bit complicated and there are a lot of additional scripts required if you want to handle a single page application in a neat way."
"It would be very great if Selenium would provide some framework examples so newcomers could get started more quickly."
"I would like to see XPath made more reliable so that it can be used in all browsers."
