We performed a comparison between Automation Anywhere (AA) and Pega Robotic Process Automation based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two Robotic Process Automation (RPA) solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."We spend less time preparing data."
"The scalability is good."
"I found the new feature of integrating Python and HTML the most valuable."
"Automation Anywhere receives high marks for its ease of use."
"It is also easy to design and implement, even for business users who don't have technical skills. A little bit of training is required, about five to seven days, and then they can start. The learning curve is low."
"The Capture command has been a lifesaver for me in each of my use cases and the advanced Excel functionalities like running macro, reading and manipulating data, etc. It allows the bot creator to leverage the inbuilt functionalities that AA2019 has to offer to a great extent."
"The Object Cloning command is the most useful feature. Through the use of this command, between 30% and 40% of the process automation is complete."
"There is a very accelerated learning curve on the platform."
"The most valuable aspect for myself was access to the .net framework. If I couldn't figure something out using the objects that they had provided, I could bring in the .net objects and do so using similar logic that I would in a .net or C sharp coding language. Having that familiarity was helpful."
"The solution's automation handling capability has positively impacted the overall automation process in my experience."
"User-friendly, easy to understand and has many features including the ability to track."
"We have a very large operational team and we are able to avoid mistakes and ensure accuracy and speed using Pega."
"The feature I like best in Pega Robotic Process Automation is that I'm able to add external DLL section codes. I can inject the JavaScript, and I can write VB.NET, C#.NET, and DLL codes, then inject those codes into the existing process. Mainly, from a development perspective, I like that feature a lot, so if anything is not supported by Pega Robotic Process Automation, then I can build that either in JavaScript or in .NET, then use those functions within the IP."
"If you want to make any kind of base automation, you can easily code exactly what you want."
"It is really flexible in what it can do."
"The workflow system is very intuitive."
"The OCR can be a little better because sometimes while scrapping, it leads to data loss."
"The ease of use and user experience for this solution could be improved."
"Excel automation or the activities for Excel is an area of improvement."
"20 percent of the bots need to supervised because sometimes errors occur during the run. Most of the errors that I have encountered have been because the object cloning did not capture the buttons properly."
"Some NLP AI is required to work in combination with RPA, especially for reading unstructured emails."
"We had initial hiccups, like any new process. It took us six to eight months to sort the product out."
"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."
"They have done a fairly good job on the RPA space, but more and more, the whole cognitive AI space and machine learning are where I see the industry actually going. I'm sure Automation Anywhere is also focused on that topic, but we would like to see more coming down the pipe, as early as possible."
"The way integration classes are created could be improved."
"I feel like it doesn't get updated frequently enough. There aren't a lot of new features or a clear roadmap for future improvements."
"Pega Robotic Process Automation scalability is too low."
"It is still a niche skill and resources are scarce in the market unless big IT companies are involved."
"The development experience needs to be improved."
"Pega has a no-code low-code environment. We do everything based on established rules. You kind-of have to learn how all their rules work and how it works for robotics before you can use the solution effectively."
"The ease-of-use could be improved."
"It's difficult not knowing when alerts will arrive."
