My experience on AA
What do you like best about the product?
Automation Anywhere is one of the best tools where RPA is well implemented. Also it is continuously growing, including the latest AI technologies.
What do you dislike about the product?
Latest bot updates are always getting pushed in Cloud version and that sometimes causes the bots to fail
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Automation Anywhere solves the monthly mundane tasks in the Finance computations. It is fast and gets things done on time
Business users can easily use the solution without any technical skills
What is our primary use case?
We only use Automation Anywhere on the RPA site because our internal Automation Anywhere customers are varied. Since Automation Anywhere doesn't have an office in Turkey, our customers there work on UiPath. We are automating some business processes based on a checklist. Automation Anywhere is also used for a few OCR projects that involve scanning documents or images and extracting the information. We can automate those jobs with RPA technology.
What is most valuable?
Automation Anywhere is user-friendly. Business users can easily use the solution to automate tasks like sending emails without any technical skills. Of course, you need some analytical thinking skills but don't need to know how to code. All the activities are in the tool if you want to replace or manipulate the text. While UiPath requires some development skills, any business user can use Automation Anywhere. It takes about 10 to 15 days to complete one process. If it is more complex, it might take around 20 days, but it's usually around 10 days.
You can automate any system within your environment. There are various systems that Automation Anywhere can integrate. You can use it for web, desktop, or cloud automation. There are no restrictions on what it can automate.
The training Automation Anywhere provides is excellent. Anyone can easily learn about the solution. They also have a free trial version that you can use online. If you practice daily, learning the solution takes about two or three months.
What needs improvement?
Automation Anywhere should make it easier for developers to manage queues and exception handling. The OCR component could also be better. We have had to use other OCR tools to get information from the account documents.
For how long have I used the solution?
I have used Automation Anywhere for four years.
What do I think about the scalability of the solution?
Automation Anywhere is a professional enterprise tool that can scale to meet all our business requirements.
How are customer service and support?
I rate Automation Anywhere support nine out of ten. We have used support a few times for one of our customers, and they respond quickly. If the issue involves a critical production system, they respond to the request on the same day. We can schedule a meeting to solve the problem together.
How would you rate customer service and support?
Which solution did I use previously and why did I switch?
We also use UiPath. Implementing projects in Automation Anywhere is easier, but UiPath is more useful for DevOps. On the technical side, the two solutions are similar, but there are differences in the front end. UiPath is faster. Automation Anywhere runs a process in two seconds, but UiPath takes milliseconds.
You can develop any process with these tools, but our Turkish customers prefer UiPath because it has an office in Turkey so that we can take support in our mother language. Both of them meet our requirements.
How was the initial setup?
Deploying Automation Anywhere is straightforward. It doesn't take much time. All of the processes need some maintenance because the processes running in the system sometimes don't work. We need to rerun the processes or change the elements. We have a 17-person team, and three of us are responsible for maintaining. The time spent maintaining bots varies. Sometimes, the issue is easy to fix, but if you need to change the flows or do some development, it may take two or three days.
What other advice do I have?
I rate Automation Anywhere nine out of ten. It depends on your skill. I would rate it higher for non-technical users.
Which deployment model are you using for this solution?
On-premises

Overall the 360 helps me to save more time than older one with less efforts maximum results are now generated.

Some challenges are there while we implemented integration with existing systems and applications. Process control must be improved so that multiple users can do the enhancement and fix more easier. I felt like the process control must be some more optimised.
