We performed a comparison between Automation Anywhere (AA) and OpenText UFT One 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."We work in the business process outsourcing arena, so it's mainly around freeing up people to do other things and that can be quite large numbers. Can be in the high tens, even hundreds of people that can be freed up to do other work."
"The integrations with the OCR engines in Automation Anywhere are quite powerful. It has helped us in many projects."
"There are many features that are valuable including Whatsapp messages, OCR, and image recognization, but I have not tried all of them."
"A valuable feature of Automation Anywhere for my needs is IQ Bot because it covers most of the semi-structured and structure data. That's where we are struggling a lot. So, IQ Bot is a very good solution to know and bring onboard for the automation of unstructured and semi-structured data."
"The digital worker is interesting."
"Automation Anywhere has a Bot Store. E.g., you can download the bot from the Bot Store and utilize it's data extraction capabilities. You can extract unstructured data through IQ Bot. Getting unstructured data is not difficult. I once obtained an 84 page PDF file using an IQ Bot. This was just the trial version, and it was really good. I was able to get all the circuit IDs and properties that wanted in a simple CSV format. I had not seen anything like this before. When compared to other platforms, such as UiPath, they don't have these capabilities right now. They have activities like PDF extraction, but that's not good enough."
"The advantage of Automation Anywhere is that you don't necessarily have to come from a programming background."
"It is very user-friendly. The AI capability that nowadays I am seeing in Automation Anywhere is very good. They have plug-and-play AI solutions."
"My company has not had an issue with OpenText UFT One since we have been using it for the past three to four years."
"It offers a wide range of testing."
"Compared to other products, UFT One is better, faster, and more accurate."
"Micro Focus UFT One gives us integration capabilities with both API and GUI components. I like the user interface. It doesn't require that much skill to use and has automatic settings, which is useful for users who don't know what to select. It also has dark and light themes."
"One advantage of Micro Focus UFT is that it is more compatible with SAP, Desktop ECC SAP, than S/4HANA."
"Micro Focus UFT One is a great tool and can be used in a variety of ways."
"This product is easy to use, understand, and maintain."
"It is a stable solution."
"One area for improvement in Automation Anywhere (AA) is its monitoring system. It's not that good. Both scalability and stability are also areas for improvement in the tool."
"MetaBots and Control Room may have some room for improvement."
"My experience has been that if the person who codes the bot is not very well-trained, then they might create unstable bots. So, it's not the platform. It is just how somebody has coded the bots which can bring lot of instability to them. I recommend that when you are using a coder that the person well-trained and have a good amount of experience already working on bots. They shouldn't be newbie or beginner who comes in to code because that will impact the quality of the code itself."
"I want the tool to be more stabilized. After three or four hours, the navigation keeps changing. We will be running error handling for 8,000 process and the system will fail. We need it to be more stable."
"The only reason I wouldn't rate it higher is because a COE Manager still not getting the full benefit from it and because the premium is a little bit expensive."
"Web automation capability needs to be improved."
"I would like more with OCR and data capture. We are partnering with IBM to help bridge this gap, but Automation Anywhere should continue to expand on their product line and provide these capabilities, as well."
"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."
"I would want to see a significant improvement in the tool's features. The most significant enhancements are support for panel execution and integration with DevSecOps."
"Needs to improve the integration with the CI/CD pipeline (VSTS and report generation)."
"It should consume less CPU, and the licensing cost could be lower."
"They need to reduce the cost because it is pretty high. It's approximately $3,000 per user."
"I'd like to see test case-related reports included in the solution."
"Micro Focus UFT One could improve by having more maintenance. Every time when we run the solution and develop something, the next time when we run it it doesn't recognize the object. I have to redesign the object again and then run the solution. It's really a headache, it's not consistent."
"Technical support could be improved."
"The product should evolve to be flexible so one can use any programming language such as Java and C#, and not just VB script."
