Most efficient and robust RPA platform
What do you like best about the product?
- A lot of products to offer under one single umbrella e.g. Taskbots, Metabots, IQBots, Bot Insights, Discover Bot, etc and all compatible with each other.
- Anyone without any technical knowledge can start learning and building their first bot in just a couple of days of training from AA portal. That is the kind of training material provided by the Automation Anywhere.
- A2019 version released last year brings in power of the cloud that eliminates the need of installing any light-weight client on any machine. Only a bot agent service can execute the bots on the machines.
- Low maintenance of the bots after deploying it to the production.

What do you dislike about the product?
- Some commands in A2019 are not working e.g. Keystrokes Page Dn or Page Up is non-functional in terminal emulator command and still not fixed in the newer releases. This same problem was present in v11 and was addressed in v11 version but the latest A2019 version does not carry that fix which is disappointing.
- The loading of packages during executing takes a lot of time for dependency downloading.
- Even high priority tickets raised with AA support are addressed and responded after 2 days of time.

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
- Automating monotonous tasks for myself and customers is simple using Automation Anywhere. As a fresher I have started with Automation Anywhere and was able to learn and build my first fully functional bot in 1 week. That is the ease I feel using this product.
- Having inline coding options in A2019, I am able to use python and javascript to quicken up some tasks that might take long with AA commands.
- SVN integration is supported by AA which brings bot version management simpler for me to be able to roll-back to any previous stable version with just a few clicks.
- Audit logs generated with AA serves audit purpose very well and I can straight away use it for displaying it to the Audit team.
- I am able to develop bots for my own ease for generating reports and presentations for my meetings that save a lot of my time doing it manually.

Automation Anywhere is reliable RPA tool for automating complex processes in organization.

Control Tower is single point for bot scheduling, monitoring etc. Audit logs provided with tool for bot executions.
What do you dislike about the product?
Document OCR features can be improved. Mainframe applications integration requires more capabilities. Support team has to analyze bot performance issues multiple times with lots of project delivery time invested resulted in late delivery.

Automate your way to the future
What do you like best about the product?
The platform was very easy to set up and use. The business user onboarding was very easy. The account team and their technical team was very attentive and supportive during and post-implementation. KUDOS! Our business leaders thank IT for enabling such a platform in the organization.
What do you dislike about the product?
I haven't found any limitation yet, so no comments to charge here.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Internal back off process and front office support
Recommendations to others considering the product:
DO not try to biol the ocean, start with a smaller use case and the department that will partner with you. There is a change management component with regards to the user being replaced by the BOT. Gamify the process i.e; create a hackathon where users can bring their ideas forward and the ones that win give them a prize.
I use AA regularly, it is limited in many ways but can also be powerful in other ways

So much worse than the competition
What do you like best about the product?
There is not a whole lot. The default option for interaction with the GUI does not interfere with keystrokes and mouse clicks are simulated. That is a small plus, I guess.
What do you dislike about the product?
Key functionalities that are standard features of BluePrism and UiPath are flat out missing. Implementing automation solutions of comparable complexity requires cumbersome workarounds.
I originally got started working with RPA tools about 2.5 years ago, starting out with UiPath and if it was not for the UiPath academy / certification program that I completed while in my previous job, the Automation Anywhere training would have been of little use for me to wrap my head around what best practices in RPA are all about.
Automation Anywhere also does not have a proper console for logging, debugging is a pain, you cannot pass application or window instances from one task file to the next, and there are no variable types.
If doesn't take an expert to figure out how much worse than the competition Automation Anywhere truly is. You log on for the first time and immediately it feels like your machine is running Windows 98 again. I'm sure the developers of AA did a fine job building this tool, but UiPath smoked them, and as far as I know BluePrism is lapping them as well.

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Automating business processes where various data entry or reconciliation tasks are repetitive and rule based. A cheap and fast alternative to building an API, but requires more maintenance efforts.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
If the option is available at all, I recommend you go with UiPath instead.
There are some tutorials available online on the official website, but you are better off consulting youtube or Udemy instead.

What do you dislike about the product?
1. Support provided by AA is slow and not up to the mark.
2. Migration utility for migrating v11 to A2019 is still not mature and AA has already announced the End of sales and services for v11.
3. Some of the features present in v11 are missing in A2019 which should not have happened as any product that releases a newer version always has backward compatibility and supports features present in older version.

Recommendations to others considering the product:
1. Build your inbuilt RPA CoE(Centre of Excellence) in house rather than relying on Automation Anywhere for support.
2. Go for this RPA Solution over any other RPA solution like UiPath, Blue Prims, Open Span , etc.
