We performed a comparison between Automation Anywhere (AA) and Eggplant Test 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."The feature we found to be the most valuable is the documentation automation as it allows us to focus on the actual important piece of building automation instead of tracking some of the repugnant documentation that goes along with building automation."
"There is one user registration process in one application where there is no API which has been published by that framework. This is a very proprietary in one application by a third-party. So, there was a help desk, and whenever a call went to the help desk, they had a front-end where they created these user registrations. Now, this is completely automated for all employees who are onboarded. We receive the data, it is put it into Excel, and from Excel, it will update it into the particular tool where the registration happens."
"Automation Anywhere is stellar and the pre-built bots on the bot store help reduce the development time and effort. The IQ Bot solution can read from scanned images and documents which has hugely benefited the mortgage processing team."
"I really like the Automation Anywhere University website because it has a lot of good documents that you can read to learn about the solution."
"The ability to automate low decision, highly repetitive tasks and clear large backlogs of tasks that we could not do with our human staff."
"The initial setup was straightforward. It is a very guided experience: out-of-the-box with Automation Anywhere University training."
"IQ Bot is something which is going to disrupt the market in the future. We... are particularly impressed with the evolution of IQ Bot and the kind of disruption it is bringing to the OCR space."
"Automation Anywhere is fully configurable."
"It provides very strong cross-platform support."
"The most valuable features would be the image recognition and the OCR."
"The main feature of Eggplant Test is that it can do fully automated web testing and app testing."
"The most valuable features of Eggplant Digital Automation Intelligence are bug hunting and OCR technology."
"We did see a massive return on investment from using Eggplant."
"The solution is a stable one."
"Its scalability is good. It is useful for desktop applications, and it also uses OCR and does image recognition."
"Good text reading ability."
"In high-availability, we have two Control Rooms acting as a cluster so if one fails the other one will take over. But that's not our environment operationally, and the latest information we have is that they identified another product bug."
"For future prospects, this tool should 80 percent deal with neural networks, deep learning, and artificial intelligence and that has to be integrated a lot. As these are future skills, these integrations will help us take the tool to take to the next level."
"From the IQ Bot perspective, frankly speaking, they still have to improve a lot... My expectation from a straight, technical, architectural point of view was that I would be able to create my own algorithm and integrate it. But with IQ Bot, I am not able to integrate anything..."
"One day, there will be a message box saying that the application is down or not available on a weekend. The instructions will say read the information and click, "Okay." But a bot doesn't understand the instructions because it is not the IQ system."
"AA has many features but the issue is with the loss of overhead on computing resources. For example, if the bot is encrypted, the bot should decrypt it first then act accordingly. If there are issues with the logic in the bot, there will be a lot of computer memory overload. There should be an additional feature for cloud functionality."
"There are occasional bugs in the system but technical support is quick to address them and deliver solutions, patches, and upgrades."
"We would like to have a better debugging facility."
"With the automation copilot, if I have any internal tool or application and I want to pass on variables, I don't have it. Maybe the team can work on it to make it more efficient to make it work better across all automations."
"The language is too specific; it is just for Eggplant."
"A step forward would be to have event support, because it is more or less linear at the moment."
"If one area could be improved, it would be some of their documentation. In particular, some of their online help and user support documentation is a little bit out of date and could be revised and updated on a more frequent basis. Other than that, I haven't really found any issues or problems."
"It has low productivity."
"There was no free trial in it."
"In terms of additional features, it would be helpful to have one package for all testing. You have the manager, the AI, then you have functional, and about 10 different packages for installing."
"The reporting function is a bit shallow. The solution does not offer very comprehensive reporting in terms of your test results. The reporting time and the logs are very high level as well. These areas need improvement."
"Eggplant Digital Automation Intelligence could improve by lowering the price."
