RPA tool for the digital transformation of routine processes
Easy to learn, has many features, and saves a lot of effort and time
What is our primary use case?
How has it helped my organization?
By implementing Automation Anywhere, we wanted to automate repetitive tasks. Because of this solution, my business is able to complete the work quickly. It saves a lot of effort and hours. It is time-efficient and cost-efficient. It reduces human error and manual effort.
It takes three to six months to realize its benefits because businesses need some time to understand what is the difference, but going forward, with the enhancements, there is a reduction in the cost and errors.
The integration of RPA bots, APIs, business applications, and documents is easy in Automation Anywhere. It is not difficult to get the details from the Automation Anywhere University, learn it, and do it. There is training for everything. For the APIs or document processing, there is limited material, but anyone can still learn it on the go. We have a portal where we can ask questions and get answers or suggestions.
Automation Anywhere has helped our organization increase its automation consumption, but I do not have the metrics.
What is most valuable?
I use SAP connectors, and I use Excel operations and Windows operations. I also use the OCR functionality and the functionality for sending emails.
It is easy to learn. There is an assistant in Automation Anywhere, so even a layman can access it, utilize it, and quickly learn it. It is not a problem. It takes a week for a new person to start working on it. It is straightforward.
What needs improvement?
There are not many areas for improvement. As compared to V11, A360 is more user-friendly and flexible. It is fine. They have even included support for ChatGPT, Azure, and other things in the latest version. They have incorporated many latest technologies, such as AI, and there is always scope to improve the processes and have more stability.
For how long have I used the solution?
I have been working with Automation Anywhere for the past six years.
What do I think about the stability of the solution?
I can rely on it.
What do I think about the scalability of the solution?
Going forward, I can do more and more automations to save time. I can improve the business processes with the latest technologies as well, so from the scaling perspective, it is good.
I know our team is using Automation Anywhere, but I am not sure whether any other team is also using it. There might be more teams using it.
We have plans to increase its usage. We are getting more projects.
How are customer service and support?
For me, it is easy. Generally, if I am not able to understand something, I go through the documentation, and I am able to find the information quickly. In case of any issues, I inform the platform team, and they raise a ticket and get in touch with the Automation Anywhere team. They involve me in the issue description, but it is completely owned by the platform team because they do the first level of testing and go ahead with ticket creation and other things. The problem always gets resolved. In terms of time, the duration depends on the availability of the platform team.
How would you rate customer service and support?
Positive
Which solution did I use previously and why did I switch?
I did not use any other solution previously.
How was the initial setup?
I was not involved in its deployment. For its maintenance, the platform team is there, and they are doing the maintenance activity.
What other advice do I have?
It is an easy tool and easy technology. It is quick to learn. You can use Automation Anywhere University for learning.
Excel advanced operations are very good. Document processing is also very good. Handling of the web forms and sites is also good. Before using this solution, I thought it would take me time to automate all the processes, but I was able to use it easily.
Automation Anywhere is at the number one position now. That itself proves how good it is and how well it is doing. From the time I started using it, it has been going up. It never went down. There are more features and more technologies coming in.
To someone who wants to use API integration instead of an RPA solution, I would say that you can utilize the API integration in RPA as well. It might be a little faster in the API, but for certain business processes, you need user intervention or user clearance. In such cases, RPA is required.
Overall, I would rate Automation Anywhere an eight out of ten.

We have used it for many projects and many different types of companies. For example, we have used it to solve problems that companies have with backups, as well as issues of integration with legacy systems. We also use it for human resources and suppliers.
How has it helped my organization?
With Automation Anywhere, we can digitize a process, optimize it, and reduce the cost and the time that process takes. It has also reduced failures in processes.
We have used it to increase automation by 100 percent.
What is most valuable?
The development tools are very good. It's very user-friendly and easy to develop and deploy with Automation Anywhere. Ordinary people, within a few weeks, can develop a bot using the tool. It's very easy for business users, who don't have technical skills, to use.
The learning curve is low. Within two months, non-technical people can be trained to use it.
Administration of the environment of the solution is also a valuable aspect. Scheduling the bots and the Control Room are very good.
Another element that is easy is the integration of RPA bots, APIs, business applications, and documents.

The platform gives you an environment that you can easily scale within your company. The scalability is a nine out of 10.
How are customer service and support?
Their technical support is good, but it could be better.
How would you rate customer service and support?
Positive
Which solution did I use previously and why did I switch?
I have not used another RPA solution.
What was our ROI?
ROI is very good. We measure processes that we automate and calculate the reduced cost.
What's my experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing?
It's the best RPA tool, but the pricing could be improved.
What other advice do I have?
Whether to use an API integration or an RPA solution depends on the use case. If there is a possibility of using an API integration, it could be better because the integration can be more secure. But if you have a legacy system where API integration is not possible you can use Automation Anywhere. It also depends on the expectations of the customer. Sometimes, the implementation via Automation Anywhere can be faster. If the customer doesn't have a lot of time and you need to deliver the solution, RPA could be the best solution.
And Automation Anywhere doesn't require any maintenance.
Automation Anywhere is one of the best tools on the market. It's a little expensive but if you implement it in your company, you should see return on investment.
