According to me, below are few best things about Automation Anywhere:
1) In Jenkins we create jobs, similarly we can create bots in Automation Anywhere.
2) Bot status - you can get to know the status of the bot via email once the execution of the bot gets completed. You will receive an email irrespective of bot status PASS / FAIL.
3) Bots can be executed as per our requirement - overnight execution / regular execution during day time.
4) Available online support is way too good to get to know about Automation Anywhere.
5) Smartphone App (Android platform) - with the help of this mobile application, you can trigger bots at any point of time. This facility is not provided by any other tool.
6) Automation Anywhere is the best RPA tool in the market.

What do you like best about the product?

I have been working on Uipath and automation anywhere from past 15 months.As a developer i felt automation anywhere is better compared to other RPA tools in the market.Because, automation anywhere is stable compared to other tools.The smart record is really stable.
For Scripting level it is very good. The DLL feature for automating SAP is really very useful and it makes the process faster with minimal error. The control feature of Automation Anywhere is very good and easy to understand. In the dashboard menu we get the overall status of all the deployed bots whether it is failed or active etc. Similarly in credential manager option in control room we can securely store the encrypted passwords. Also we can limit the accessibility of different feature of control room based on the user. The Metabot feature is the best part of automation Anywhere because the reusability results in lot of time savings.

The support provide by Automation Anywhere technical customer care team is extra ordinary.

What do you dislike about the product?

I didn't like the User Interface of the tool.It's a bit complex to navigate and understand. There is little bit lag in the developer training videos of Automation Anywhere but it's manageable. The no of activities is less. It would have been nice if there is an option for developer to create some custom activities.

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?

1.we are automating excel operations,invoice operations like reading or extracting data from PDF and fetching the invoice number and related content and proceeding further.
2. Generating macros and running Macros

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?

Very good to implement fixed business logic's related to multiple domains like Banking, insurance, etc.

Recommendations to others considering the product:

Easy to use and learn. Powerful tool for implementation

What do you like best about the product?

The very best thing I like about Automation anywhere is that we can literally automate almost everything and there is no need of any prior coding knowledge. The Metabot concept is really good because we can avoid the repetition of same coding and thereby develop bots faster. The PDF reader activity is also amazing, this has made so many process simple. Apart from above things what i liked in Automation anywhere is that the analytics option, the user can quickly have a glance and get an idea about the number of bots running etc.

What do you dislike about the product?

The user interface is really boring. The support for the Chrome browser in Automation anywhere is pathetic. Selecting the activities from the taskbar is bit difficult because there is no option for searching an activity. The Automation anywhere training website is really bad and one must need good patience to listen to the videos. If there ian option for custom activity like library it would have been good and made things simpler. The user interface for creating the variable is quiet confusing. I find very difficult to find answer for certain questions while developing AA bots because of the less active community.

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?

I have solved several problems using Automation anywhere especially automating SAP part using DLL in this software is very easy and resulted in minimal error. The benefits I realized that faster processing and without human error. The PDF reading activity is amazing and I used it for this for automating the extraction of PDF content.

Recommendations to others considering the product:

I will suggest them to follow the best practice while developing bots

What do you like best about the product?

The graphical user interface of Automation anywhere tool is very user friendly and easy to learn.

Is automation “good” or “bad”? There are arguments on both sides of this issue. On one hand the cost of production on a per item basis is generally lower, on the other hand it is often said that automation takes jobs from people. The following is from the first chapter of my book:
Human beings have been making things for many thousands of years. Originally most products were made on an individual as-needed basis; if a tool was required it was fashioned by hand and in turn used to make more tools. As time passed, more complex techniques were developed to help people accomplish fabrication and production tasks. Metalworking technology, weaving looms, water-driven grinding mills and the development of steam and gasoline engines all contributed to a greater ability to make various products, but things were still generally made one at a time by craftspeople skilled in various techniques. It was only after the industrial revolution and common use of electrical energy and mechanisms that manufacturing of products on a large scale became commonplace.

Some disadvantages of automation are:

• Technology limits. Current technology is unable to automate all desired tasks. Some tasks cannot be easily automated, such as the production or assembly of products with inconsistent component sizes or in tasks where manual dexterity is required. There are some things that are best left to human assembly and manipulation.
• Economic limits. Certain tasks would cost more to automate than to perform manually. Automation is typically best suited to processes that are repeatable, consistent and high volume.

• Unpredictable development costs. The research and development cost of automating a process is difficult to predict accurately beforehand. Since this cost can have a large impact on profitability, it is possible to finish automating a process only to discover that there is no economic advantage in doing so. With the advent and continued growth of different types of production lines, however, more accurate estimates based on previous projects can be made.
• Initial costs are relatively high. The automation of a new product or the construction of a new plant requires a huge initial investment compared to the unit cost of the product. Even machinery for which the development cost has already been recovered is expensive in terms of hardware and labor. The cost can be prohibitive for custom production lines where product handling and tooling must be developed.

• A skilled maintenance department is often required to service and maintain the automation system in proper working order. Failure to maintain the automation system will ultimately result in lost production and/or bad parts being produced.

Recommendations to others considering the product:

• Replacing human operators in tasks that involve hard physical or monotonous work.

• Replacing humans in tasks performed in dangerous environments such as those with temperature extremes or radioactive and toxic atmospheres.
• Making tasks that are beyond human capabilities easier. Handling heavy or large loads, manipulating tiny objects or the requirement to make products very quickly or slowly are examples of this.

• Production is often faster and labor costs less on a per product basis than the equivalent manual operations.

• Automation systems can easily incorporate quality checks and verifications to reduce the number of out-of-tolerance parts being produced while allowing for statistical process control that will allow for a more consistent and uniform product.

• Economic improvement. Automation can serve as the catalyst for improvement in the economies of enterprises or society. For example, the gross national income and standard of living in Germany and Japan improved drastically in the 20th century, due in large part to embracing automation for the production of weapons, automobiles, textiles and other goods for export.

• Automation systems don’t call in sick!

Overall, the advantages would seem to outweigh the disadvantages. It can be safely said that countries that have embraced automation enjoy a higher standard of living than those that have not. At the same time, a concern is often aired that automating tasks takes jobs from people that used to build things by hand. Regardless of the social implications, there is no doubt that productivity increases with the proper application of automation techniques.
