"Other products are more low-code, whereas Automation Anywhere is no-code making it easier to learn and user-friendly."
"The solution has helped us increase productivity."
"We have a lot of clients who use AA bots in their own process. Automated that are automated require less human input. AA bots save lots of time, increase efficiency, deliver accurate output, and provide consistency which improves the overall function of processes in different domains."
"It is an easy product. It is easier and less complex than any other RPA tool in the market. It is a popular product."
"It's very easy for business users to learn Automation Anywhere."
"The ease of use for the end user and the very low complexity in trying to build a bot are the big factors for us. We are able to work on a project, identify a use case, come up with a design spec, and execute and build a bot within a span of six to eight weeks. In nine to ten weeks, we are able to go live, which reduced complexity. Once we go live, the user interface and the user experience are extremely good."
"We have seen more efficient processing and less number of errors due to quality control."
"All the data that comes in has to be QC'd. Automation Anywhere helps us by automating the QC part."
"The whole platform seamlessly integrates well."
"The solution is relatively easy to use and cost-effective."
"It is a great solution for simple automation activities or simple automation of simple tasks. It is also integrated with Office 365. Integration is an absolute breeze with any RPA software."
"The solution offers a lot of documentation and tutorials for users to learn about various aspects and features."
"The RPA robotic process automation is a good feature. We can make a flow within a flow. We just made a UI flow. The flow is to run every day so far it's been quite helpful."
"It's not hard to learn, which means we'll be able to make more workflows in the future."
"The most valuable features are that it is low-code and simple."
"We have talked to Microsoft. We're a large company and we're talking to Microsoft on a regular basis. We have a partner we talk to when it comes to Automate. We are absolutely satisfied with technical support."
"When you are implementing it initially, it's challenging as there's a lot of change management."
"The product should improve on Voice Recognition and IoT pretty soon, as this is the next big thing in and I would like to see this upgraded in the next release."
"Citrix is only in the development stage. Automation Anywhere could put some time into improving this more."
"Automation Anywhere will sometimes announce releases or updates in their roadmap, and we wait for them, but they do not happen on time or at all."
"Though the courses in the certification's learning hub are great and awesome, there is some more space for adding more explained contents."
"The only reason I wouldn't rate it higher is because a COE Manager still not getting the full benefit from it and because the premium is a little bit expensive."
"Many clients use the Citrix environment but AA has very low functionality to automate a Citrix environment."
"Although, IQ Bot has data being extracted from it. It can improve with more features, like handwritten copies that are readable."
"I would like to have a user account so that the staff can see all of their requests, including the status and other details for each one, on the dashboard."
"I've had issues with reordering columns. When I tried to do it, it seemed to take a long time, and then, later, it gave me some kind of error."
"The debugging tools require improvement as well as the monitoring which goes along with it."
"For countries in our region, it's not very well known."
"The solution could have more integration with different platforms."
"Tech support could be more hands-on. Right now, they simply direct users to documentation instead of directly dealing with issues."
"There is an RPA feature gap between this solution and other more mature products."
"The solution is difficult to customize. I would like to see more flexibility when it comes to using different kinds of activities."
