A(A) Great Platform to work with - Go be great
What do you like best about the product?
The ease of use of commands in AA Client gives confidence to a developer who doesn't even have a coding background. The Knowledgebase gives us a complete description along with examples so that developers can easily understand and try each and every aspect of the tool. The Bots from Bot store are useful for different types of domains. The Support team is amazing with their quick response and the solutions. And the Control room user-friendly and it is the secure place to save our confidential data.
What do you dislike about the product?
Have to improve Background automation capability of commands like Object cloning, Manage window control and click, etc So the developer/ user can parallelly work on something else. There are no commands could do the extraction of text from PDFs/ Text file and saving it into a variable, right now we have to use Bots from Botstore to perform the same. This Bot consists of MetaBot. Hence the A2019 doesnot support MetaBot, the migration of already developed projects with the use of these kinds of Bots will be a problem.

We can save a lot of time and cost by making the business automated with AA. Also, it is secure and robust.

AA way forward
What do you like best about the product?
With the release of A2019, AA will get a upper hand now. The whole platform is written in Java, make is more robust then its predecessor written in .NET. Secondly combining the recorder into one make a stand out in the players. A2019 has clould offering.
What do you dislike about the product?
Pricing of the product is major factor of disliking the product. Hope A2019 will priced in a bracket that will be accepted by everyone. People go away from automation anywhere because of their pricing. Now A2019 doesnt not support some older version of bot, which means the bot will be re-written in A2019.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
It helps in reducing the mistakes while entering data. The bot would directly read the data and enter it properly with out no mistakes.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Yes would recommended it other organizations. it is very robust system. IF you are setting a COE in the organsaztion it would be better to use AA.
Automation Anywhere V10 and V11 Development Experiences
What do you like best about the product?
The one thing I like the best about Automation Anywhere is that in the Bot creator, we can see lines of code just like any other programming language. The overall presentation of the code is very crisp and allows for fast development. There is automatic indentation that happens with the code and each type of code line is color coded, example, Comments always appear in green color, etc. A large chunk of code can be reviewed at a quick glance in the UI.
All the commands are categorized and listed on the left hand side of the screen, providing for easy access to all the capabilities. In each command, the options are very well laid out for selection. Commands can be copy pasted and also disabled/enabled when required.

What do you dislike about the product?
The Work Load Management feature is only a push based feature. Work Load is pushed to the available Bot Runners and gets executed. There should have been an option where a running Bot can itself pick up a new transaction from the Queue, so that we can create loops for processing transactions and keep picking up new transactions as one transaction is completed. Another need is an ability to generate reports or export the Work Load Queue using code.
There is also room for improvement for the Bot creator. Some key features are lacking in AA and are required, like checking if declared variables are used or not in the code (unused variables), select multiple variables and copy to another task, powerful debugging features etc which are available in other conventional programming IDEs. integration of the code with other version management tools like GIT, TFS etc with branching, versioning, tagging support etc is also a highly required feature for current Enterprise Environments where there are multiple environments and releases of the Bot and multiple versions of the Bot need to be maintained in Internal TFS/GIT repositories
One more feature that is required to be integrated and available out of the box is working with Outlook to download emails, reply, forward, move emails with more features than the existing available Email Automation commands.

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Automation Anywhere has been a very beneficial tool for Automating processes which are repetitive in nature. Automation Anywhere works well with applications like Excel, SQL database, Internet Explorer and File Folders. These applications combined can be used to design solutions that automated mundane tasks in Excel, IE based applications etc.

Please download the community edition and do some self POC or Automation to see the features of the tool

Programming practice is very much important for Bots, need time to update the practice every time.
