Automation Anywhere Reviews

Well suited: Low or Medium complexity process.

Less appropriate: High complexity since for this, you will need an error-handling logic, which will work smoothly and work queues.

Love the Automation Anywhere support team!

When there is a large manual process, which is structured and sequential in nature and can be automated, this is the scenario where Automation Anywhere can play a vital role to create a digital bot. And when the process is small in nature and unstructured and the scenario keeps on changing, then I think Automation Anywhere is not as well suited.

I found that Automation Anywhere provides a whole package in the world of robotic process automation. It gives as a whole bunch of commands that help to build any type of bot to automate the overall business process. Its capabilities are very good. Its customer support to the vendor is quite amazing. They give you their recommendations and answer your questions as soon as possible.

Automation Anywhere is well suited in Microsoft Excel and Windows-based applications. It is not compatible with Oracle-based applications. Automation Anywhere is very fast in SAP applications.

Whenever We raise a ticket to Automation Anywhere Support team, we get an instant solution.

Automation Anywhere is well suited in automating those processes which involve a lot of unstructured data like images and pdfs. For example, in processing the invoices in the Accounts and Admin department, Automation Anywhere would be of great utility. Also, if you have structured data to process like data in Excel files, then you can avoid Automation Anywhere and go for any other basic RPA tool.

We love Automation Anywhere. It's perfectly suited for larger firms with well developed systems and IT structures to implement and use. While it has worked for us, as a small-ish firm, that hosts the system not in IT, but rather an Accounting and Finance function, it can be sometimes difficult to integrate and maintain. Many may tell you not to house it within IT, but it would certainly help in many instances.

Automation Anywhere is a great tool for a low cost, fairly easily scalable, and quickly learned. The company is growing by leaps and bounds and continually pushing the automation boundaries. The problem with fast expansion is that sometimes you can grow more quickly than you can appropriately support your products. While Automation Anywhere has an excellent support structure in place, every company and situation is different, and they often struggle with why problems arise in the system and how to fix them.

By using technologies like Automation Anywhere the real impacts concern working capital reductions, accuracy improvements, revenue enablement and enabling speed to customer.
Not only Automation Anywhere but all the RPA tools are less appropriate where the dependency is higher to make decisions and getting input data. Moreover, if the applications are updating frequently then expect less accuracy.

To work with Automation Anywhere no technical knowledge is required. It's easy to understand, relatively easy to implement and enables rapid progress for problems. Automation Anywhere enables more security, less risk. It works and it enables level of business led digital transformation.
Automation Anywhere Forum support is good but needs to be improved.

Where we are having huge manpower expenditures for our internal processes and all the processes where we can't take the risk of compliance issues or errors with respect to data processing. If there are too many human interventions required then for such kind of processes this software is not suitable.

For now we have not faced any issues apart from few basic issues which we were able to fix using first level support from them.

Automation Anywhere is well suited for our organization since we are a systems integrator. Leveraging this RPA tool, we automate many use-cases and the department we cover are IT, HR and Finance. ROI is a major factor which makes the tool less appropriate.

Automation Anywhere is excellent at performing rules based data movement and interactions. Especially when working with legacy or third party systems that the business is unable to get to the underlying data architecture. It is also great at creating a temporary process that can add immediate value while a more stable IT solution is being developed. Scenarios where it is less appropriate include processes where multiple human decisions are made that are not rules based. However, it is possible to use Automation Anywhere to automate parts of a process with human touch-point/decision-making steps intertwined within the process.

You can probably use any similar tools. But Automation Anywhere is one tool that actually gives me automation capability right at the start, without worrying about process improvement in terms of additional features. If I am dealing with a dynamic workflow where the workflow might change based on the input parameters, then Automation Anywhere doesn't help me because the code is pretty much fixed. When I need those types of workflows I go to UiPath.nt in the first place. I can just act like how another person would. Whereas if I do a little bit of process optimization, I can use another tool also. It definitely saves time and effort when it comes to automating processes of a complex nature. What I like about Automation Anywhere is the object cloning and the way you can move the mouse and either go to a particular point or go to an element. That's very easy and intuitive in Automation Anywhere. In terms of additional features, if I am dealing with a dynamic workflow where the workflow might change based on the input parameters, then Automation Anywhere doesn't help me because the code is pretty much fixed. When I need those types of workflows I go to other tools.

Some projects have already been done using Automation Anywhere. These completed projects have made a great saving of annual hours of work since the processes run at dawn and save the reports to the tax team. There are other projects that are under development for other sectors. I think you still need to improve the tool because it can not interact with our main oracle system (EBS), since it needs to get print taking and sending commands from keyboards. I think it would look better if there was some deeper integration with the oracle system.

Automation Anywhere is well suited for any organization in which there are processes that have repetitive tasks. Getting information from Web, PDFs, spreadsheets. Also you can schedule the trigger of a Excel VBA with Automation Anywhere, to run any report or presentation you need by the day and time you need. Development of BOTs.

Automation Anywhere has a robust interface, and it can accommodate any repetitive business processes across various industries. We have enjoyed benefits in the supply chain management space across order management, inventory management, order comparison, and delivery tracking.
It's well-suited for high volume repetitive tasks, but is not suited for low volume and unstructured data.

RPA Automation Anywhere will be helpful to create a digital workforce which will replace human efforts in doing linear and step-by-step processes. Automation Anywhere bots can be used efficiently to increase your Return on Investment. Automation Anywhere is very suitable for processes which need less or no human intervention to complete a process. It provides several technical capabilities to address the technical challenges in the process of automation.

From my experience, I would strongly recommend AA for the operation teams. Wherever there are mundane tasks, it can be automated precisely and is well suited. It's very easy to implement with various tools and systems. It's less appropriate in cases of decision-making scenarios for operations. We would recommend that AA improve their AI tools as well.

Automation Anywhere is well suited for our customers that come with a $10k mini starter pack. Other tools come with a high price and thats one of the reasons why we chose Automation Anywhere. The other is its compatibility.

Well suited for CRM applications, SAP applications, and OCR. Not well suited for logging, real-time events, and scheduling jobs.

AA is very good for the automation of tasks with email, work with image and OCR. We did not find it very good for web work.

If processes involve web or desktop apps then Automation Anywhere is well suited for automation as a tool.
If rule based decisions are required in the process then partial automation can be done with Automation Anywhere.

Ideal tool for medium and large automation with capacity for expansion for cognitive methods.

It is well suited for automation of almost all types of applications. Web, Citrix, desktop all kind of applications can be automated. In case you need to achieve a faster move to the market, it can help as you can do it with a dedicated team inexperienced coders. Licensing cost is high, so if you have budget constraints it can be a bit of a spoiler. UI is not that user-friendly but you can make do if the team is dedicated.

Automation Anywhere is well suited for most RPA use cases, because it comes with a good and versatile set of commands, screen actions and built-in tools and features (it supports FTP, SOAP, REST, Database, variable assignment and manipulation, and simple math).

Its applicability is more or less suited depending on the creator user profile (those who will program the tasks that will be executed by bots). Users with a technical background won't have any problem using the software and creating the bots, while people that don't have a technical background might have difficulty while using Automation Anywhere because programming logic and other computing concepts (protocols, SQL, etc) will be required for more complex RPA use cases.

I needed support a few times, and in my case, I've found incorrect documentation of how the control room API works for task deployment through the API. Aside of incorrect information, we've contacted support to solve a task deployment problem through the API and it took a few weeks to pinpoint the source of the problem, that was caused too because of lack of information on the documentation.

1. Most repetitive work and rule Based work.
2. More people working on the same thing for long hours.
3. Data Entry places which is constant and where applications are not continuously changing.
4. Where there is not any critical thinking or human intervention needed for decision making.

Because with comparison to other tools Automation Anywhere is offering lower prices for the Software and Bot runner licenses as well. As a result, it is applicable to mid-level companies also. Not only prices, the support of Automation Anywhere is good even after providing the application to use in most of the companies.

As said, Automation Anywhere is recommended to automate any type of repetitive process that has been previously mapped. It handles, very well, PDF's and websites, either to extract information, fill in fields, send or read emails, etc. Not recommended for working in virtualized environments or dealing with image data extraction.

Automation Anywhere does a great job of extracting data from websites to fill in spreadsheets. It is also very good at extracting information from PDFs, doing it very quickly.
