We performed a comparison between Automation Anywhere (AA) and Broadcom Service Virtualization based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out what your peers are saying about UiPath, Microsoft, Automation Anywhere and others in Robotic Process Automation (RPA)."I'd say there are new useful features that will definitely help us as we do more development in the near future."
"The most valuable feature is the task bots because we found that cognitive functionality can be improvised."
"Automation Anywhere has improved our company a lot. The SLA of some tasks that we need to deliver to some clients has improved greatly."
"In Automation Anywhere we liked the drag-and-drop and easily stitching the recording of mouse control and keyboard controls."
"I like the OCR feature, where we can capture information from PDFs."
"It improved on 40+ % of manual effort which was a pain point for project budget and Project team SMEs."
"A has a bouquet of features that can be used in our projects. We have utilized all the features in our existing projects. It may be task bots, meta bots, or IQ bots. The features in the AA bots may be object cloning or security features where the bots can be triggered only from the control room and will help clients to maintain their security concerns."
"This RPA software has good scalability and stability, is easy to understand and easy to use, even for users who have no experience with automation software."
"Helps us to remove barriers that we have with dependencies on services that we don't own, or services that don't even exist yet."
"Ability to vary the responses very easily (randomize, pick-lists, etc.)."
"The most valuable features are the recording and creating of virtual services."
"Unit testing or early life testing did not have to be stopped or delayed because those services were not available."
"You can create virtual services from a live recording or convert raw traffic into request/response pairs."
"The ability to do parallel development and testing reduces our costs for duplicating environments, improving the productivity of our developers, and bringing products faster to market."
"The innovation is amazing. CA has continued to add to services that it supports, the transports that it supports, and has built all of the enterprise capabilities into the product as well."
"There are several areas that are easily configurable."
"I would like to see them expand the service catalog with RCA add-ons to the current RPA package."
"The approval process needs improvement."
"I would like to see web and cloud-based platforms for future releases."
"The dashboard has room for improvement."
"When I compare Automation Anywhere with the competition, some of the competitors have ready-made, off-the-shelf modules. For example, UiPath integrates with Windows AD. That is missing as of now in Automation Anywhere. If that became available it would also be great."
"Better use case management to prevent each development from scratch would be an improvement."
"The areas that need improvement are the license management, user access permission, user role access management, and technical support."
"We want to have greater control on deciding when we want to upgrade to a newer version"
"They can always work on usability and making simple things simple to do. This is true of every product that deals with complexity."
"We had to implement an external service catalog. We put it in ServiceNow. I would like to see an integrated service catalog."
"I really want to see more of the "express" kind of model, where you get a little bit for free. I'd love to be able to see you be able to edit and author tests without having to be connected to a licensed server. And then, if you want to go and execute tests, then you go and connect to the server... I think it would unblock people to be able to do a lot more work from home or from remote places, where they can't really connect to the server."
"UI should be more user friendly: better usability, more testing oriented."
"The cost is an area that needs improvement. There are a couple of other tools which provide support for performance testing with the base version itself, but Broadcom needs a separate component to support virtualization for performance testing. This is a costly component."
"DevTest is pretty massive. It's hard to tell what different parts of it can be used to do different things. They should modulize it more."
"It is not a stable solution."
"One major feature I would like to see is on the user administration part. Right now, anybody can access any of the folders and any of the projects."
