Easy to learn, easy to use, easy to implement
What do you like best about the product?
This tool make it all easy!! It is really easy to learn, with a few learning you will be in the correct path, it is also very intuitive and that make it easy to use, you don't need to know anything about programming languages.
It has an interactive GUI that guide you through the learning process and help you to remember later what you need to automate a process.

What do you dislike about the product?
The must have of a control room to execute a robot. It will be perfect if you can "test" a robot solely with the client side without the need of a Control Room.
Also need to improve the way that a bot can "save" or "send" messages directly during execution.
Please review the GUI to get a new "look", so it will be easy to use. The Look and feel looks a little "older".

Automation Anywhere Pros and Cons consolidated
What do you like best about the product?
Following are things I loved about the tool:-
1) Ease of use and UI Developer options - You can get people to learn this tool quickly. Its as easy as writing code in laymen English. Developers can just explore the features and write code, without even having training programs. You won't need best of programmers to automate simple processes.
2) Enterprise RPA Features - Develop your code with industry best practices, quickly with the help of features like- Queues(to be used in multiple bots for single process), Bot Insights, Credentials Manager, Control room to deploy. Best in class Control Room Management features.
3) Even Business operation teams can build small attended bots to help themselves finish their job quickly without a lot of training effort.
Updated version AA 360
1) Its a whole new tool, and as the name suggests (AA 360) it provides a lot many integrations with AI technologies ranging from IBM Watson, Microsoft Luis, AWS AI.
2) There are major changes on development side, its completely cloud based, required no seperate dev license for development (which is good for a quick start)
3) variables now have data type and you can do a lot more with Data tables, Dictionary type variables etc.
4) Also allows small code integration which is again a plus plus.
5) Community edition and support portal is much more helpful for developers now.

What do you dislike about the product?
Following are the things I believe can be improved or are just limitations of ease of use:-
1) More lines of code required, then other tools for manipulating strings or structured data like tables and collections, as most of the features are UI based.
2) Inability to write .net or vbs code in the tool itself makes it difficult to query in memory data. In most tools this can be achieved by LINQs etc, but of course that's because its easier for beginners to work for.
3) You will not have to maintain a highly talented and expensive coders for support of bots you have in production.
Negatives for AA 360 upgrade
1) The company seems confused with the approach of having flow chart based development design or line by line execution
2) Migration from older version is complex due to change in base architecture of tool from .net to java based.
3) I have not noticed many minor releases, instead one major release causes lot of migration hiccups.
4) Company does not seems to have a good futuristic plan for upcoming releases. But I think this newer version can make things easy.

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We have automated many processes belonging to very different domains of business processes.
Some like Account and Base maintenance backend processes for Banks to Operations support integrated with Service Now.
As our automation framework matured, the benefits increased exponentially and we were able to deploy bots almost weekly or bi weekly.
We have been able to achieve hyper automation stage in Infrastructure support proccesses.

Automation Anywhere RPA Enterprise Platform for Business Users and IT Specialists
What do you like best about the product?
Automation Anywhere allows you to doncomplex tasks with so little easy to use functionalities. Ino need to create many lines of codes jist to create a complex functionality. Drag and drop functionality allows the business users to easily do tasks in a short period of time.
What do you dislike about the product?
Nothing in particular. Automation Anywhere isnan excellence tool compared to its competition.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
In my role as a consultant. I value every minute spent in doing my solutions and proposals to my clients. I do not want to spend time filling up my timesheets and my claims, hence I have automated my claom submission as timesheet creation allowing me to focus ln doing my solutions for my client's processes rather than doing repetitive, unmeaningful tasks.
Point of view of a new automation programmer
What do you like best about the product?
The best part is how easy is to learn. This helps a lot when it comes to a big project with includes people with almost zero experience, or even truly zero, in programming. This people may be part of other processes and yet help with automation. For the ones who already know how to program the learning are soft and truly easy, the way you pass to understand how to do the automation comes natural and then is like fluid the way you automate things. You can create your own repository of bots that seems kinda generic and reusable to later automations.
What do you dislike about the product?
Somethings which would be easy with programming languages, are truly hard tasks, like adding paths to variables, setting variable values to another, and other little boring things, nothing that makes it impossible. The community isn't too big yet, so to get help without being from the support, is kinda hard, but this changes with time. In future versions it will surely be so close to be perfect that will be hard to tell what could be better.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Automation and optimization of repetitive processes, some boring personal tasks, what really economize time. Tasks which include other softwares, web navigation, some scripts and .exe files. After some research you believe you can do everything which this tool.,
Recommendations to others considering the product:
If after the research about which software fits the best to you, this seems like a option, just take it. You won't regret. The learning is natural and soft, if the automation needs more than one person to do, is really nice to collective work on a automation with this software, even with people who seems kinda lost in a first moment. After just a few uses and training in the Automation Anywhere website, you surely will be able to do anything you want.
