We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"The document management processes that IQ Bot gives has very good functionality of how you can actually take unstructured data and make sense out of it, connecting inferences, then making the data available to the user. So, IQ Bot is one of the best tools that I can think of in that aspect. This solves the problem of various document structures, document formats, etc.""For the beginners, it is an easy tool compared to other tools in market. Users can understand the line by line code and code it easily. There is no syntax or anything else. They can easily drag and drop, executing the bot directly.""The bot creation process is relatively simple.""We are making less mistakes and have more metrics available to understand what our problems are. Now, we can do root cause analysis and have less noise in the system during the process.""I really like Screen Recording because it is used to record a task or a series of actions.""Efficiency is something that has increased a lot. Productivity has increased a lot too.""The scheduling feature allows for scheduling of the bots to a specific time every day, which helped remove the dependency on humans completely.""Movement on cloud architecture according to me provided by AA2019, will be most beneficial as it will be easy to use and will provide flexibility."

"I like the functional testing. There's a product inside OATS called OLT, Oracle Load Testing. You can do the load testing without depending on any other tool""The most valuable features are functional testing and the central repository that contains various scripts.""The solution is scalable.""The most valuable feature is the object identification feature.""User friendly UI / Tree view to work with adding steps.""Oracle Application Testing Suite's most valuable feature is it works very smoothly with all Oracle Java-based applications.""OpenScript has many features that make it useful, including the ability to record and playback.""We find the front-end interface of this solution to be very user-friendly, meaning easy navigation even for novice users."

Cons
"Their OCR is a bit expensive.""There is room for improvement when this application is used in a Citrix-based environment.""We have had some quirkiness happen when integrating the Automation Anywhere with other solutions, such as weird Excel issues or temperamental legacy system issues.""While using IQ Bot we found that data extraction accuracy is a bit weaker in semi-structured documents compared with structured documents. We would like to see improvement in the data extraction part of Automation Anywhere IQ Bot.""Automation Anywhere can include database commands like insert row, bold row, etc commands in 11.x""Automation Anywhere changed OCR features in A2019. My suggestion is to improve the OCR command scope and usability. We use OCR for PDF data extraction as we use in V. 11.x product.""Another feature that would be cool to see in Automation Anywhere is more use of artificial intelligence. Right now, RPA is basically limited to a bot which is simply following the instructions that it was given. However, what would be really useful is if a bot was able to more flexibly respond to issues. For example, sometimes there are erroneous errors and pop ups. With good code, you can certainly build your bots to be able to handle that. However, it does take time and a bit of technical know-how to be able to do that.""They could improve around continuous integration, e.g., Jenkins and GitHub, stating how you could use those products and integrating them into Automation Anywhere."

More Automation Anywhere (AA) Cons →

"We would like to see the instruction documentation made into video or audio formats, to help new users get used to the modules.""The pathfinding at times is slow when we are using it. The tool's performance can be improved.""Lacks patches for new OS systems and doesn't work on a Mac.""The dashboards need to be simplified and made more user-friendly.""To provide test automation support for other products like SAP, Windows and Java Applications when it comes to Functional Test Automation testing.""I have faced issues with some indexing items.""Oracle Application Testing Suite could improve by offering desktop-based application automation. It is lacking in this area at the moment.""Oracle Application Testing Suite does encounter some lag. When I am trying to record something, the tool gets stuck."

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."

  • "ORACLE is giving at a very competitive rates to all its customers, and its a simple licensing process."
  • "There are no costs in addition to the standard licensing fees."
  • "The price of the Oracle Application Testing Suite is not expensive. It is less expensive than other solutions."
  • "Customers need to negotiate properly to get the tool at a lower price."
  • "The complete package, including load testing and performance analysis, has a licensing fee."
