Designed for situations where humans and bots work together, especially useful when users need to enter specific details during the automation process itself
Automation Anywhere is easy to use with basic knowledge or training. The learning curve is easy. We can learn how to use it within one week. There are a lot of courses available for Automation Anywhere. Automation Anywhere Co-Pilot is designed for situations where humans and bots work together, especially useful when users need to enter specific details during the automation process itself. It has helped our clients significantly increase their production and has freed up time for employees to work on other tasks. We have integrated Automation Anywhere with our SQL database. Adding automation into workflows and APIs is easy. Automation Anywhere helps save organizations time and money.

Outstanding UFT solution, but there are issues with the scripting
We are currently using it for migration Micro Focus UFT One is useful. However, there is an issue with the scripts. We are going to collaborate with multiple automatic specialists to identify the problem. If we can fix the issue, we will continue with UFT, otherwise, we'll switch to other…

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"Having a cloud-based deployment provides more flexibility because we just need an internet connection for connecting the agent into the AA cloud."
"The turnaround time of building bots is quick. We are deploying around four bots per month. The turnaround time to get a design, build, and deploy is very fast. This is very good for us. It has helped us out when scaling up in a better manner."
"AA has good coverage in terms of out-of-the-box functionality for bot development and management."
"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."
"Error handling plays an important role when you schedule a bot because if you are not physically present and something happens, you need to know what has gone wrong."
"I liked the Automation Anywhere University. It was easy and simple. I hoped that it wouldn't take too much of my time, and it didn't, which was good."
"I like all of the features, especially the MetaBot, REST API, and SAP DLL."
"The most valuable feature is IQ Bot, as it allowed us to train it to extract important logistical information from customer PDF documents, irrespective of the format."
More Automation Anywhere (AA) pros
"I like the fact that you can record and play the record of your step scripts, and UFT One creates the steps for you in the code base. After that, you can alter the code, and it's more of a natural language code."
"The most valuable features are its support for multiple technologies, ease of coding, object repository, and ability to design our own framework. The recording playback feature allows those unfamiliar with coding to use the tool."
"The ease of record and playback as well as descriptive programming are the most valuable features of UFT (QTP)."
"The initial setup is relatively easy."
"The solution is easy to integrate with other platforms."
"Has improved our organization by allowing us to obtain fast, detailed information about the behavior of our products and to supply this to the customer, enabling us to work together without the need for special programming knowledge."
"The most valuable feature is that it is fast during test execution, unlike LoadRunner."
"Object Repository Technology, which is a good mean to identify graphical components of the applications under test."

Cons

"One of the things that the product should have is to add more advanced level developer capabilities into the platform. I know it is easy for business, non-technical people. However, for the developers, there should be some more features within the product so they can build advanced level use cases much faster."
"Automation Anywhere has to be integrated with machine learning and AI systems to read images and videos, then put the information into another format."
"The inclusion of word packages would help us to extract data from Word and automate word-related activities easily."
"There are a lot of issues in the tool. There are a lot of breakdowns."
"Several competing products now offer superior functionality compared to Automation Anywhere's current capabilities."
"Automation Anywhere can improve by implementing a Citrix environment and increasing the stability of tools, such as IQ bot."
"When we try to process structured documents but with some little pen marks, improper partitions, or faded documents, IQ Bot fails to extract data properly out of them."
"The solution doesn't offer all the capabilities that we need, so we have to use it in conjunction with other software."
More Automation Anywhere (AA) cons
"The solution is expensive."
"The product wasn't easy for developers to learn and pick up in the area revolving around scripting for automation, and there was a lot of resistance from developers, causing my company to rely on specialist resources."
"We used to run it as a test suite. Micro Focus provides that in terms of a test management tool as ALM, but when we think of integrating with a distributed version control system, like Jenkins, there isn't much integration available. That means we need to make use of external solutions to make it work."
"UFT has a recording feature. They could make the recording feature window bigger for whatever activities that I am recording. It would improve the user experience if they could create a separate floating panel (or have it automatically show on the side) once the recording starts."
"The speed could be improved because a large test suite takes some time to execute."
"Object identification has room for improvement, to make it more efficient."
"They need to reduce the licensing cost. There's pushback from customers because of the cost."
"I would like Micro Focus to provide more information on their portal about their newer products. The information about UFT One was outdated. The image recognition features could also be better."

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The pricing of AA is similar to UiPath."
"Price is where I'm least satisfied. Other vendors are more willing to offer discounts."
"The setup cost depends on multiple factors, so you need to get details before choosing."
"There are a lot of savings in terms of effort and time as well as costs. Automation Anywhere automates a lot of processes. It allows an organization to save the efforts of a lot people. It saves a lot of time because people can't work a whole day (24/7), but Automation Anywhere bots can."
"Roughly, as of today, it is around $250,000 annually."
"It is not too expensive, but there are many tools available in the market that can provide the same functionality at a cheaper price."
"The cost of Automation Anywhere is high in Turkey due to the weak economy."
"They all are very competitive today. At the end of the day, it boils down to the negotiations that happen and what type of partner you are."
More Automation Anywhere (AA) pricing and cost advice
"The price is reasonable."
"The way the pricing model works is that you pay a whole boatload year one. Then, every year after, it is around half or less. Because instead of paying for the new product, you are just paying for the support and maintenance of it. That is probably one of the biggest things that I hear from most people, even at conferences, "Yeah, I would love to use UFT One, but we don't have a budget for it.""
"We have ALM licensing, and the tool is free of cost."
"It's an expensive solution."
"The licensing and pricing model is confusing."
"The price is one aspect that could be improved."
"It's a yearly subscription. There are no additional costs to the standard subscription."
"The solution is priced reasonably for what features it is providing. However, it might be expensive for some."
