Automation Anywhere - RPA | Robotic Process Automation Reviews & Product Details

The tools (packages) available for building RPA automations is extensive. The UI is easy to use and has two different ways of viewing the code, both of which are extremely visual. Having many different types of variables to choose from like string, number, Boolean, table etc. allows you to structure inputs and outputs well and handle most situations. The platform makes capturing parts of any web page or desktop application easy. Being able to break the steps of an automation down into smaller sub-tasks and re-usable components accelerates development and makes the code more manageable. The platform also allows you to trigger automations with file drops or even e-mail, as well as scheduling the automation at specific times of day, days of the week and more. Lastly, being able to call APIs allows for easy integration with other platforms, services, and automations. Implementing an automation is also extremely easy .

Having multiple developers work on the same project is difficult as once one person has code checked out they are the only one who can edit. There is no 'merge code' functionality as there is on other development platforms. Documentation for each package (feature) could be improved with more examples, screenshots, tips, and use cases.

He likes to work for the conception, planning and realization of business models with human imagination and decision making.

I feel that this is the work that brings value to the company as a human being.

However, although a simple task naturally occurs in the business, such a simple task can be left to the RPA software. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I don't like simple tasks that don't involve decision making and work that doesn't generate value over and over again. However, in practice, what is required from the surroundings is to execute such simple work and repetitive work. Then there is no value as a human being. It can only be repeated. Humans are not such a thing.

Therefore, as a preparatory work to create value to contribute to the company by securing time to create human value, we leave the simple work to RPA to do the same as before. is there. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Automation Anywhere makes it easy to create automations for both the beginner and the seasoned Automator. Its versatility is tremendous with both built in modules and functions plus the ability to add custom Python or Scripting to accomplish the task at hand.

Furthermore, the recorder feature makes integration with 3rd party applications its most powerful feature. The ability to duplicate user mouse actions, copy and paste data, and also efficiently loop thru html screens is a winner.

I especially like the ability to capture multiple points on the screen in addition to recording or re-recording a single action this truly makes implementation quick and easy. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

although the Automation Anywhere customer support is top notch and very responsive. the need to improve the time to repair for bugs and new features is very evident. My expectation is that if a get function is provided it should always be paired with a set function. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What I love most about Automation Anywhere is how its intuitive interface makes bot-building a breeze, even for someone without a hardcore technical background. The AI-powered features have truly transformed the way I manage repetitive tasks, saving me countless hours. Its scalability has been a game-changer for deploying solutions across teams, and the supportive Pathfinder community has always been there to help with technical queries, insights and tips whenever I needed them.

While Automation Anywhere is a fantastic platform, I’ve encountered occasional challenges with debugging complex bots, which can sometimes be time-consuming. Additionally, certain advanced features might feel overwhelming initially and require a bit of a learning curve. However, with time and support from the Pathfinder community, these issues become manageable. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What I like the most about Automation Anywhere is that they provide a lot of very useful and easy to use "out of the box" action to implement in your automation flows to tackle real world business challenges. Automation Anywher comes with a variety of actions/tools like (APIs or Sharepoint) to integrate almost everything in your solutions. The WLM Workload Management feature will let you spread time critical tasks to a pool of bot runners to handle these transaction much quicker. But for me very special is the effort put into the courses, learning trails, delta trainings, #BotGames and the skill boosters which will create a enjoyable and interresting learning experience.

Sometimes I have problems finding the right content on the website. Especially in the AA University. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I'm using different RPA tools for the past 2 years in my organization. Among those tools Automation Anywhere is one of the best tool which is more stable and have wide variety of options to automate all the tasks in any application or web related things. This tool is best for automating all ERP's such as SAP, Oracle etc. I used this tool to automate BMC using it's API via Automation Anywhere and it is very stable and withing in seconds tasks are getting completed and literally zero error. The dynamic link library option for automating SAP is really fast and reliable. My favorite option in this tool is MetaBot and we use this to avoid repetition of developing same task. The best part of this tool is that once we deploy our bots we can monitor them using the enterprise control room orchestrator API and also the analytical and graphical view of the number of Bots running or faulted bots etc is very easy to understand in a quick glance.

The first and foremost thing I hate about this tool is that the user interface is not attractive and not easy as like other RPA tools. Another thing I don't like in this tool is that in the command tab there is no search option for activities so the user have to scroll down and expand and search themselves for finding a particular activity which will result in time waste.

I like the customer service, when I face a problem in rpa, I raise a ticket, and get quick help from Automation Anywhere team.

I also like the building code in AA platform, it is easy to use. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It can take time to use few packages like sharepoint,outlook packages since it needs some informations to be filled. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Having developed both in traditional languages and in all RPA platforms, I appreciate how Automation Anywhere offers an intuitive, user-friendly interface. For both seasoned and citizen developers, this makes barrier to entry and the time needed to get up to speed building automations much less than I have seen on other platforms. Additionally, the sheer volume of features, from AI to Document Automation to integration with dozens of top-tier systems, makes Automation Anywhere an indispensable tool to have.

There are times when getting technical support is difficult, but this is not uncommon in the industry when dealing with complex issues. I struggle sometimes with the need to walk through the same basic steps with Tier 1 Support multiple times before I can get an issue escalated and dig further into matters.

I like the ability to develop and automate processes, and having a lot of free time is one of its significant advantages; it also reduces errors, and the technical support is excellent to help with any questions you have regarding this RPA. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It is software that offers good functions to automate, and nothing is negative about it. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It is easy to learn the tool even for people with no programming/coding experience. It is a drag-and-drop interface. Speaking specifically about AA360, it is supported on both Windows and Linux systems and the bots can be controlled from anywhere. There are more actions available in AA360 compared to AA v11. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

There are limitations in the complexity of the logic that can be built using AA. Transitioning from Automation Anywhere v11 to AA360 is a challenge and there is a lot of the bot that would have to be reworked. Some actions in the Image recognition package need not capture the data accurately the first time. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
