Nadeem K. - PeerSpot reviewer
Rpa Developer at a consultancy with 11-50 employees
Automation has freed teams from repetitive finance and supply tasks and supports global operations
In the current organization, we had trouble initially because I think the documentation and support could be better than what it is now. This is one difference between Automation Anywhere and other RPA tools such as UiPath. In UiPath, if you have an issue, you go to the UiPath website and search for it, and you get lots of help materials. In Automation Anywhere, you do not get exactly what you are looking for. You get a very large number of results when you search for something, and from this large result set, you have to filter out what you need, or only partial information will be available. User handbooks are available for each product. In that regard, I would say Automation Anywhere is lagging compared to other RPA tools. It is difficult to get hold of their customer support team. I want to clarify that it is not a matter of us building logic on Automation Anywhere and it failing. When it is a product-related issue, they have to give us support because we only know how to develop within Automation Anywhere. We do not know how to fix Automation Anywhere itself. Whenever we have an issue, trying to get in touch with them always takes three to four business days.

Senior Rpa Consultant at a computer software company with 51-200 employees
Automation has streamlined client data extraction and has improved reporting for business decisions
I work as a developer, and my manager is responsible for the research and analytics for the project with the client and business users. I am satisfied with BotFarm. I would rate my experience with BotFarm an eight out of ten. I do not see any room for improvement for BotFarm. I am using AI tools such as Amazon, Microsoft Azure, and ChatGPT. I am not using AI-powered bots in BotFarm. I am a partner with Automation Anywhere.

Suitable for a small-scale business but not evolved enough for a large enterprise
The best thing with that Jacada is that they are a repository builder, which we use for our assessment to gauge and match screens. Jacada has evolved, but I'm not using the latest version. Technically we use our internal product more, which is iAutomate. We also use UiPath and Automation Anywhere…

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"One of the strengths of Automation Anywhere is its user-friendly interface, which makes it accessible even to those without a development background."
"It helps in improving employee productivity, morale, and retention, as automation removes the tedious parts of work and frees up often stretched-thin employees for more meaningful and creative work."
"The scalability of this solution is good compared to others."
"The way it integrates with subsystems is impressive. When automating business processes, there might be multiple systems in use. Automation Anywhere provides various ways to connect, such as by directly using backend APIs or using the frontend. This is incredibly useful."
"I have enjoyed using all the features of this tool, not just one feature, e.g., object cloning, Excel automation, and the web recorder."
"Bot Insights is the most valuable feature; we don't have to struggle with generating metrics around how the bots are performing, and this information coming out of Automation Anywhere is useful to us because of the way the metrics are generated, which inspires confidence in our customers."
"My experience with the deployment has been very good."
"MetaBot is the most valuable feature. Other products have robotic functionality but MetaBot is a kind of functionality by which code is created... so business users who do not have coding knowledge can drag and drop."
"BotFarm by Automation Anywhere is great for building bots."
"We use this solution for automating the gathering of information from 15 disparate applications, with several bots in customer service and finance to increase efficiency and reduce manual work in different areas."
"The most important feature of BotFarm is web automation."
"What I like most about BotFarm is that it's one of the leading RPA products in the market, and very few products focus on robotics today, so I like that BotFarm offers a lot in terms of what general customers expect it to do."
"Automation Anywhere has good document extraction features where it can learn patterns."
"The solution is great to automate any repetitive tasks, which you might do on a daily basis."
"The most valuable features of this solution are the Excel automation and support for SharePoint."
"Last year I faced a problem and, subsequently, raised a ticket, and the support team is great and they helped me to resolve the issue within three or four days."
"The initial setup was fairly straightforward."
"The best thing with Jacada is that they are a repository builder, which we use for our assessment to gauge and match screens."
 

Cons

"There should be a meeting between the Automation Anywhere team and the end-users to understand whether the process can be made to work on the first attempt."
"They need to improve the OCR engine which is not up to the market."
"There is a limitation with Automation Anywhere where if you want to build your own packages and deploy them, it is very difficult."
"Automation Anywhere has to improve its technical features."
"The capability of understanding and extracting documents is not very good."
"Looking at the POC's requirements and use cases, our customers are asking us for the OCRing of handwritten documents."
"The areas in which the product and service must be improved are in the government sector and ministries such as the Ministry of Education and Health."
"I just came to understand that there is a cloud attached to it. I would like to see how the cloud is going to work, because every application is coming out with a cloud version. If you are not on-premise, then you will need to have Citrix automation."
"One aspect that can be improved is the accessibility of reusable components for developers. It relates to role-based access and accessibility."
"Its UI could be made better. It should also be more flexible."
"Normally we need to monitor the solution using an AWS console and the control room. We would like to have a standardized dashboard to see all the information in one place."
"An area for improvement in BotFarm is that the communication between the Control Room and the Bot Client Missions isn't utilized well."
"An area for improvement in BotFarm is that the communication between the Control Room and the Bot Client Missions isn't utilized well. There's also the issue with PCI DSS compliance or certain regulations that require a set of configurations that are not fully supported by BotFarm. The product should be certified or designed according to the required regulations in the finance industry to make it better."
"I would definitely be wanting to see OCR features for improving the solution."
"Its UI could be made better. It should also be more flexible. Currently, it is more rigid, and a little more flexibility is required. Their technical support should also be better. We are not very happy with their technical support. Its price is also quite high as of now. They should improve its price. Its setup should also be made easier. It is quite complex to set it up. Even though we were able to set it up a little fast because we had done something similar earlier, but it has a very complex setup. It is extremely resource-hungry. If they can make it a little light on resources, that would also be useful."
"The image processing capabilities definitely need to be improved."
"They need to create a workflow system."
"When we first started using Jacada, the technical support was not good at all; however, they were just getting started then."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"We save 34,000 hours of time per year and have recouped up to $6000 in lost revenue."
"Automation Anywhere is cheaper than UiPath and Blue Prism. From a market point of view, Automation Anywhere is reasonable. Any organization can adopt Automation Anywhere."
"I don't deal have cost specifics but I can say it is a tool that provides value for the money."
"I think the pricing is reasonable, but clients often perceive it as expensive."
"I find the license pricing to be competitive and reflective of the pricing models throughout the RPA space, and I believe there is a lot of value in continuing to maintain the free community edition platform."
"I feel the cost of licensing is very high for the A2019 version."
"Regarding the price, licensing, and maintenance, Automation Anywhere provides its customers with its best and affordable value."
"The certifications are free of cost."
"An unattended bot license costs around $5,000, whereas an attended bot license costs roughly $1,500."
"The pricing model could be simplified."
"There is a license for this solution and it is on an annual basis. I am satisfied with the price."
"We are on an annual license for the solution and is priced well."
"We pay approximately $15,000 USD per year."
"Pricing for this solution can be better."
"The product is slightly expensive"
"Automation Anywhere is more reasonable than Blue Prism and UiPath in terms of cost."
