Automation Anywhere is good for developing robust Bots
What do you like best about the product?
I have been using Automation Anywhere for the past one year. The stabilities of ther bots developed in Automation Anywhere is amazing. The best thing I like about automation anywhere is that the Metabots and IQbots. Metabots need very minimal change if we need to reuse in any other part of the code and thereby we can save lot of time. IQbots in AA is amazing for invoice related automation.
What do you dislike about the product?
I didn't like the user interface of automation anywhere tool because it's not user friendly. The training videos of Automation Anywhere is not upto the mark and also the forum is not active. Lack of .net functions and commands sometimes result in some limitation of bots
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I'm using Automation Anywhere for invoices related usecases. The IQbot feature of Automation Anywhere is good and if we feed data in a certain pattern the bot will learn and process invoices with minimal error. The control room feature is really useful we get bot insights and in dashboard we will get the overall status of all bots. The credential manager option in control room is very useful and I'm using same credential for different bots which is running in different virtual machines and in case of any credential change I don't have to login to that particular machine instead in control room I change the credentials. The schedule feature of control room is really good and I'm scheduling the bots in different time zones as per the requirement of my clients. Overall I can say there are lot of benefits for Automation Anywhere which is making a huge positive impact in my organization
Recommendations to others considering the product:
If you are planning to build a robust bots Automation Anywhere is the best tool.
User friendly and approachable for any software
What do you like best about the product?
It's very user friendly and any one can learn easily and start automation in the basic level. Handling is very easy even if we have many scripts. Specially the IQBot is doing the best, however the AI can be improved in a better way.
What do you dislike about the product?
IQBot does not fullfill the entire requirement, in many cases we have handled the situation using VB script only it's bcos of some time document issue and some times the BOT is not handling the pages completely to extract the data. AI and ML logic can be improved here to handle in better way.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We have automated many business process and some complicated process as well...like Supplier onboarding process, MTR validation process, Supplier Quote Analysis, SGW Process automation. In terms of benefits yes we have realised the cost and time savings in terms of resources and also BOT will take care these things automatically and there is no dependency for human.

AA is a user friendly and any one can learn easily and adopt this tool for automation.
This is the best, simplest and strongest RPA tool among the top 3 RPA tool
What do you like best about the product?
Best thing which I like in AA is it's simpleness along with the power to do beyond the limits. It is the easiest RPA tool I have worked on while comparing top 3 RPA tools.
While talking about it's commands it is very easy to use, I train one of my colleague who don't know anything about automation or even he is not aware about coding and all.

What do you dislike about the product?
I love AA and there are multiple reason for so, but there are multiple things which I want to be improved.
1. Excel or DB session must be shared across sub task like variable mapping.
2. Delete row option in SQL Query .
3. Something like Parallel activity in UIPath.

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I have automated three 5 process in which I have created 8 bots all are having a strong impact, but I would like to discuss 2 process in which AA does fabulous job.
1. Refund Processing - Due to Corona virus all the airlines and hotels were facing huge cancellation due to which they have unmanageable workload in there back-office, we deployed our AA bot there to make things possible. Our bot worked 24*7 and done all the refunds which were pending from long time. AA helps us to create bot in less than 36hrs and deploy it on production because of it's simple and strong commands.
2. B2B Contract Loading - One of the biggest hotel chain having huge backlog of contract loading because of which they can't accept booking of hotels, we had very short time to upload this huge data to prevent them from huge loss and there AA plays big role and we have achieved the deadline successfully .

The best and user-friendly software for Automation
What do you like best about the product?
the best thing about automation anywhere is that is has easier to use commands which a user with just logical knowledge is able to use to automate various day-to-day mundane processes. It has an in-built collection of 575+ drag and drop commands which have a help function available to it. Another advantage of this software is that it can be interfaced to various other platforms , which makes automation easier to perform. Automation Anywhere also provides video lectures so we don't have to surf through the internet to learn the software as it is readily available.
What do you dislike about the product?
It cannot differentiate between different pages of a software with the same page title, which is a challenge to overcome. Also, we cannot copy commands from one metabot to another which stops us to use the same functionality again without doing the whole process again. There are also certain errors which are not very clear for the user to debug, hence the errors shown should be in layman terms. Also the behavior of certain GUI's change while using automation anywhere which is a major drawback and a major disadvantage. The DLL file of various softwares should be available on the website for easier access.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
All the mundane processses which any organisation has to do on a daily basis and which doesn't require human-like knowledge can be solved using Automation Anywhere. So all the human force used for this process can be reduced by reducing errors and by saving time. So what any normal coding language cannot perform, automation anywhere can.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Anyone who's thinking to consider using Automation Anywhere has made a very wise decision , as this is an amazing software to use. Extremely user friendly and with a very valuable certification and hence an amazing choice to make.
An easy Effective and a very efficient way to automate daily processes
What do you like best about the product?
The best part is the ease to code with 500+ inbuilt drag and drop commands. These easy to use and automate processes helps avoid syntax errors. Also, the wide variety of videos and tutorials offered by the automation anywhere dashboard helped me learn the various aspects of the software and the continuous testing and evaluation of the same helped me learn and grasp better. The variety of commands and offered help in all the abstract processes that I wish to automate. Also, it saves a lot of time for repetitive processes, manpower as well as the cost to company.
What do you dislike about the product?
Some Gui related issues are there when recording a page. Sometimes when I record a page and apply certain clicks it works perfectly and fine, but when the Automation Anywhere Bot runs the same window, sometimes it is unable to detect the window and is hence unable to click at the appropriate position, also sometimes the window that is displayed while recording in SAP changes completely when the bot runs SAP.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Currently, I am solving and automating many SAP related processes. I used the software to get data, perform many operations and filtering of data based on requirements. Also, I used IQ Bot to train on invoices and get data from the invoices and use that data to perform other dependent tasks as well as log the data.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
I highly recommend others to use Automation anywhere as it has a great Return on Investment Saves a lot of time and makes every task more efficient.
I had a great experience with automation anywhere
What do you like best about the product?
I had a great experience in developing bots and deploying them to automation many mundane processes at my firm. Specially scheduling bots for various tasks makes it way easier to perform many tedious work without any human intervention. We also handle many tasks using triggers to execute bot automatically on execution of some action. IQ Bot feature of automation anywhere helps to improve bot's accuracy day by day. Initial training video lectures proved very helpful to understand the software features better and online stimulation helped to implement various commands to get a better knowledge of the same. Bot insight feature allows to analyse bot behavior and various device down time. Workload Management helped to manage workloads using queues. Drag and drop feature of automation anywhere makes error less coding.
What do you dislike about the product?
Not specifically but there are some issue while automating an application using application's gui. There are issues while automating SAP application using recorder as while recording the process we encountered different window as compared to window that appears while executing the same task using a bot. It may be solved if the behavior of the application may be the same while recording and while executing the bot.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I am automating many tedious tasks using automation anywhere that finishes the task without human errors and in less amount of time. I solved SAP related problems to execute various reports in SAP.

AA offers Community edition trial license for free, Users/ companies who want to test the waters before starting their automation journey can use the trial version to get a flavor of the product. Moreover, for developers aiming to learn about the product can use the product as well as the Automation Anywhere University for a classroom training. The AA university offers multiple learning paths tailored to role. The pricing model allows clients to start their automation journey, this is unbeatable compared to peers. The scalability and production cycle is much larger and faster compared to peers due to control room features and Bot store. In fact many of the basic Bots are available as part of the store, Also Meta Bots can be used to expedite development rather than reinventing the wheel and starting from the scratch. Also, they also allow you to upload the Bot/code on the store to monetize it. This is absolutely fantastic. Moreover, they also allow deployment of Bots in the cloud. They can accessed and controlled via the control room. This greatly improves scalability. Bot Insights provide analytics of BoT performance and the provides a snapshot of the performance f Digital workers

Best RPA tool in the market
What do you like best about the product?
The number of activities and their rich configuration makes great experience when developing bots. Also the Bot store is a great place to search activities when you need to do some custom task. I was a full stack developer before staring RPA and it was so ease and great when developing bots because of various activities and Bot store. The deployment of bots to control room and scheduling is also easy which makes it a great RPA tool to work on. Automation Anywhere also regularly sends updates about the workshops and hackathons which makes us updated on what's new in the product and provides opportunity to showcase our skills.
What do you dislike about the product?
There is nothing present in the software to dislike but User Interface is the area when Automation Anywhere can improve.
When comparing it with UI Path. Its look and feel is better. Its my personnel opinion that if Automation Anywhere workflow activity looks bigger with details than just a line which is currently present it will improve user experience.

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We were working for a electricity distribution company they daily get data of supplied power and consumed power. From which they prepare loss report using some software. We automated this daily task and scheduled it for a particular time which reduces their effort for preparing loss report.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Automation Anywhere tool is very rich and more developer friendly environment then others. Therefore I recommend learning a programming language before or in parallel with Automation Anywhere to get full out of it.
