Find out what your peers are saying about UiPath, Microsoft, Automation Anywhere and others in Robotic Process Automation (RPA)."We have staff who have been moved out of the mundane tasks and are now doing value-added activities."
"All customers were happy after automating using AA because of the better accuracy, it's easy to develop and manage. It's easy to manage the orchestrator."
"From a manageability perspective, this solution is very good."
"One of the most valuable features is the different possibilities it gives you to manipulate the interface screens that you're working with."
"Bot Runner - The Bot Runner is the machine where you run the bot. You could have multiple bots running in parallel. You only need the Run License to run the bots. The bots report back the execution logs/pass/fail status back to the control room."
"It has reduced the number of full-time employees."
"Most clients prefer Automation Anywhere because it is easy to implement. You don't need to know rocket science to learn this solution. If you know logic, that is sufficient. Automation Anywhere is more user-friendly."
"All the data that comes in has to be QC'd. Automation Anywhere helps us by automating the QC part."
"If you use the PowerBuilder application, do choose AscentialTest without thinking twice."
"The most valuable feature of AscentialTest for us is that it fully supports PowerBuilder."
"AscentialTest's object recognition in snapshots is a robust feature that goes beyond standard elements, even accurately identifying objects within Datawindows."
"It’s been really easy to automate the same application TestComplete struggled with. I have been able to automate two of our key applications in just a few months. I haven’t even taken their training."
"Getting the bot design into the developer's hands is taking longer than we initially anticipated."
"They want to get more accuracy in handwritten forms, which might take some time."
"They need to improve the stability of the core functionality. If they keep the core constant and constant, they will continue to thrive."
"If you work with image recognition and custom objects, there are stability issues."
"It would be better to make it more user-friendly so that individuals with no experience can pick it up pretty quickly."
"We would like a smoother process for moving bots and tasks between the different development environments, from development to testing to production. We find this to be pretty cumbersome to work through."
"The installation piece was sort of complicated because we are new to the business. We are new to installing Automation Anywhere services and the services that they are providing. So, we are sort of expected some kind of installation engineer to come onto our premises and provide the support, rather than remotely."
"The interface is not intuitive for business users who are used to seeing the process on a flow chart, like a Visio workflow diagram. This may be because of the nature of the way the interface is structured and the way the functions are built in list type of format."
"The only thing I can't wait for is for Zeenyx to add automating Mobile apps."
"Classes are not as object-oriented as I would like, but I am a programmer and not QA so I expect a lot."
"Streamlining the retrieval of results from individual test set runs would be beneficial."
"I would like to see an improvement in the User Interface."
