Nadeem K. - PeerSpot reviewer
Rpa Developer at a consultancy with 11-50 employees
Automation has freed teams from repetitive finance and supply tasks and supports global operations
In the current organization, we had trouble initially because I think the documentation and support could be better than what it is now. This is one difference between Automation Anywhere and other RPA tools such as UiPath. In UiPath, if you have an issue, you go to the UiPath website and search for it, and you get lots of help materials. In Automation Anywhere, you do not get exactly what you are looking for. You get a very large number of results when you search for something, and from this large result set, you have to filter out what you need, or only partial information will be available. User handbooks are available for each product. In that regard, I would say Automation Anywhere is lagging compared to other RPA tools. It is difficult to get hold of their customer support team. I want to clarify that it is not a matter of us building logic on Automation Anywhere and it failing. When it is a product-related issue, they have to give us support because we only know how to develop within Automation Anywhere. We do not know how to fix Automation Anywhere itself. Whenever we have an issue, trying to get in touch with them always takes three to four business days.

ICT Manager at a legal firm with 11-50 employees
Provides good stability, but it could be intuitive and easier to use
The product’s current version could be easier and straightforward to work with small IT organizations, similar to the older version. Its asset management feature has been significantly affected since the upgrade. Earlier, it was able to perform skill-based routing automatically. We could set up parameters within the system and view the details of the incident or a ticket. The same functionality needs to be fine-tuned in the new system.

It is stable and has useful features, but the automation feature needs improvement
All of the features are very suitable for us. It is also a stable solution Its automation feature needs improvement. They can include the vRealize Automation feature in this solution. I have been using VMware Service Manager for more than six years. It is stable. Its scalability is good, but…

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"The Visual Studio integration is smooth and user-friendly."
"It is very user-friendly. Nobody has to sit down and work on coding. We have a drag and drop option where anybody can understand it."
"The way it integrates with subsystems is impressive. When automating business processes, there might be multiple systems in use. Automation Anywhere provides various ways to connect, such as by directly using backend APIs or using the frontend. This is incredibly useful."
"Sometimes the customer will not provide any data. Using Automation Anywhere, we can easily automate to capture the customer data. Then, we can use that customer data inside the Cisco Unified Wire Voice Portal."
"The UI is very user-friendly, even for someone who doesn't have much coding knowledge."
"The application replaced about three employees for the OFAC verification processes, thus eliminating the need to hire more people for those tasks."
"Automation Anywhere is a ten out of ten."
"Implementation of Automation Anywhere (AA) allows us to automate business processes and has brought productivity gains, error reduction, and speed of execution in multiple HR and Finance operations."
"Track-It! has many features that help make us more efficient and cost effective as a department."
"As a department, we have been able to identify problems and resolve them faster because of the centralized database."
"Our users have come to expect availability and quick responses, and we are able to provide this thanks to the Track-IT! solution."
"Our efficiency has improved drastically due to a massive reduction in phone calls."
"Using their problem management process, we can use parent/child tickets and set up public views for our problem work orders."
"We use it to create and manage our work orders."
"Using the Help Desk and Purchasing modules, they let us keep track of all the issues in our organization and analyze them for trends."
"We can manually capture the assets available within the location."
"It provides us the following: A better utilisation of the hardware, more flexibility, improved maintenance cycles, and a system overview."
"It provides us with improved maintenance cycles."
"We have installed a physical server for failover; we need to configure cluster on everything, but with VMware, we do not need to cluster because we automatically get seven physical nodes failover and if one fails we have no issues."
"The Service Desk module and the Workflow module, which is extremely powerful."
"All of the features are very suitable for us. It is also a stable solution."
"Simplicity and flexibility are its major plus points making it a leading industry solution for deploying cloud environments."
 

Cons

"If there were one thing I could ask for it would be a text-based language. Right now it's proprietary, so you always have to go through the tool, even for things like basic compares."
"Bots get disconnected from control rooms sometimes without any reason and this takes up a lot of time."
"I would like to see more bots available right out-of-the-box in the SAP area."
"We have in-house, a few variables, which we use from technical perspectives. We don't have them in Automation Anywhere, but they introduced them yesterday."
"I think it is a little bit of an ongoing struggle, because we don't deal with the infrastructure. We have a separate infrastructure team that sorts all that out. So, sometimes there are communication issues just trying to get our internal IT team onboard to run through the installs and that sort of thing. But, definitely with the new cloud version coming onboard, we'll be looking toward going to that. Hopefully it'll resolve some of that friction that comes about through the install process and complexity."
"As of now IQ Bot only takes/fetches the record of the places that we have marked. e.g. Invoices fields that are dynamic in nature are very difficult to fetch the data from the scan copy. If this feature gets added, it will save a lot of time for developers."
"The tools are fundamentally solid. However, when I think of self-healing, such as automation with a new prompt or a new Windows patch occurring, being able to handle those kinds of things on top of what Automation Anywhere already does and that automatically click through and do the reboots that are necessary to just have a clean run would be ideal."
"The implementation process is complex, as there is integration with other applications."
"There are a few items that I would like changed or extra features that could be added to our current version of this software, but those are all going to be addressed in a future software update."
"Currently, if you go and check the reports in the packet, the reports are useless; reporting is really bad."
"The area where we would like to see improvement is in the asset management module."
"Their self-service is not user friendly."
"The product’s current version could be easier and straightforward to work with small IT organizations, similar to the older version."
"The solution is cumbersome to use."
"Track-It! works great for a mid-size company, but anything over 700 employees, and trying to use Track-It! for any other areas of the business is difficult."
"Graphical User Interface looks a little bit old-school."
"Its automation feature needs improvement. They can include the vRealize Automation feature in this solution."
"Not a ten because the price is high."
"Still new in the market and a lot of its features are still not yet explored."
"It needs to improve user roles and access rights."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The cost is affordable, which makes an easy barrier to entry for the RPA market."
"The pricing model can be a bit more flexible."
"Costs savings have been seen by employing bots for multiple shifts instead of people."
"They're very flexible around pricing and licensing."
"Automation Anywhere is expensive."
"The licensing cost could be improved. It costs a lot. At the very least, the developer licenses and the control panels should be made free to enterprises, and the production environment licensed."
"The initial setup and licensing fees are high, and although it saves costs in the long run, reaching the break-even point can take at least six months."
"When I started working on it, it was difficult to obtain a trial version (barrier to entry). Now, they have a Community Edition, which may make it easy to get started."
"BMC Track-It!’s price is reasonable compared to other products."
"The price depends on different enterprises. As compared to Citrix, VMware is reasonable."
