RAD RPA with Automation Anywhere
What do you like best about the product?
The fact that a person with an Analyst background and zero programming experience can come out of training and within a few weeks automate light to moderate complexity processes is amazing. Other platforms cannot make this claim unless you have a development background.
What do you dislike about the product?
These are more minor issues than dislikes:
The documentation in some places could go deeper into the functionality.
You may have to rely strictly on IE if you have to do heavy lifting in terms of web automation.

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Problems with rework due to a lack of worker accuracy. Speed is increased so people aren't waiting as long in downstream processes that require people. More time is spent on higher value work instead of cookie cutter work.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
It's a great choice for having a wider range of role's as developers. Continuous improvement teams with domain experience can get trained easily to understand the capabilities or develop themselves. It's great for IT administrators /support who can get almost instant ROI from training ridding themselves of compliance tasks and other repetitive work which adds no value to the enterprise.

What do you dislike about the product?
the documentation offered can be better, for example i am trying to access to a remote server and write some notes there and i am still trying to find a way to do it
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
automate process that are not full web and they need interaction with windows desktop
Recommendations to others considering the product:
This is a very good application, the most important thing is that you don´t need to install anything extra, all that you need is already there, the only issue is with backend processes

It could be great if it support python or R programming codes.

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We are using Automation anywhere to automate repeated financial processes which includes file downloads, file validations, task completion and corresponding Quality check process.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Good product.
Extremely easy to use. You don't need to be a programmer just use your process driven mind.
What do you like best about the product?
Ease of use and simple approach. I've spoken many teams explaining how you don't need to be a programmer to user AA. Just use a recorder to capture the initial steps and drop in steps to loop and create the RPA.
What do you dislike about the product?
I'd like to have a GUI interface like combo boxes, list boxes, etc.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Simple automation with repetitive tasks. I've used AA to take over a 1000 records and add them into a web interface.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Simple and easy to get automating
You can do it once and use forewer
What do you like best about the product?
You can make so difficulty thinks fast and clear.
What do you dislike about the product?
Lack of documentations. IQ Bot it is other allocation
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
You can have more time for real important and strategic thinks. Reduce errors.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
More tools for development.
Easy to User Gateway to RPA
What do you like best about the product?
Easy accessibility - the application is intuitive, but its function is underpinned by excellent documentation, but also comprehensive e-learning with AA University.
What do you dislike about the product?
I think the Control Room API should allow the passing or parameters. We have got around this by using work queues, but I feel being able to pass parameters would have been a great value add. Better native handling of JSON would have also been useful.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Integration of separate applications from a single source of truth application. The main application kicks of a bot which propagates the data down through the interfaces of the other applications, removing the need for an API to be developed or implemented.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Build out a simple use case to begin with, and get this into production. The ROI realised on this helps to promote the use of RPA on other use cases. AA provide a lot of helpful tools to calculate RPA and how to select good use cases.
Experiences with AA from AA Certified Master RPA Professional
What do you like best about the product?
Ease of use and the variety of functionality to complete automation development quickly and efficiently. The Metabot and it's ability to consume external class library (.dll) is probably the feature that has allowed us to create scalable ad reusable automations.
What do you dislike about the product?
Would like to extend the debugging functionality to allow you to "step into" nested scripts that are called and raise exceptions into the AA error handling pipeline. This may not be such an issue with basic automations, but once you move to an enterprise architecture, we have a more structured approach for designing a bot, which involves splitting out functionality into separate tasks and components, which makes debugging more difficult
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We have automated a range of business problems from automating web applications, Oracle retail management java apps, Sharepoint 365 and main frame systems. AA allows us to automate tasks, which otherwise would not be possible, be too costly or would not be high enough priority for a full IT solution.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
The ease use of AA means even business users can quickly get to grips with the technology and start developing automations quickly. I would recommend taking a look at the community edition to review how the product works.
The stand out features of AA are the Metabot, for making reusable components and consuming external .dll files, and IQ bot, to extract semi structured data for processing. The new features in v11 such work queues also offer a way to improve the scale and speed of your automations

Best in class RPA software
What do you like best about the product?
The best thing about Automation Anywhere is that it is easy to use, but full featured enough that you are not left unable to create more complex automation solutions. Getting a basic automation up and running with the Smart Recorder and easy to use drag and drop command interface is as easy as the click of a mouse and can be accomplished in minutes. From there it is not long before you have an entire business process fully automated with full error correction and redundancy, and the web based control room makes going from development to production a snap. From simple commands like keystrokes and mouse moves, to SOAP, REST and the ability to leverage application APIs makes Automation Anywhere one the best choices for RPA software.
What do you dislike about the product?
I wish the editor had some more features for advanced users, like keyboard shortcuts. Also a dark theme for the editor would be fantastic as looking into a bright white screen for hours each day can definitely be straining on the eyes. Luckily, these are both secondary to the primary function of the software.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We had a process which took hundreds of people in the company approximately 5 minutes to complete, twice a day. We automated this process on the back end for each of these operators, saving the operators time for more important tasks. We've also talked the huge problems with manual report generation for our billing department. One of our first bots has generated millions and millions of PDF based reports over the last couple of years that are required for our invoicing functions.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Choose the right processes to automate. Not every business process should be handled with RPA and it is not a magic bullet. Start small and fail fast, but scale quickly. With AA you can do that.
Great to work with
What do you like best about the product?
Great customer service and the product is mature and secure.
What do you dislike about the product?
Some instability occasionally with bot runs but V11 is way more stable than previous versions.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Optimizing our rail car fleet and working through financial information.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
It's an affordable way to create tons of value for your business.
