Automation Anywhere

Versatile, powerful and flexible RPA

Opmerkingen: It ensures optimal automation of repetitive tasks, streamlining workflows and freeing users from routine tasks. In addition, its ease of use means that no programming language skills are required to create bots.

Pluspunten:

It has a nice interface that is easy to understand for a non-technical person. Provides ease of integration without the need to disrupt legacy systems. The most common features can be accessed through shortcuts. It has a good set of tools to automate various marketing, accounting, ERP and other processes.

Minpunten:

The only thing that I consider that can be improved so far is the parameter management, which needs to be faster and more intuitive.

Automation Anywhere is the Ultimate Facilitator

Opmerkingen: We LOVE IT. Couldn't imagine using one of the other big automation toolsets out there given our experience. It's allowed a bunch of accountants to automate anything and everything.

Pluspunten:

Automation Anywhere (AA) is the perfect facilitator. It starts tasks and guides them through the entire process from one step to the next. We've learned over the years that we don't need AA to do everything (even though it mostly can!). It's much better as a facilitator that can move processes between steps. As a result we use it in conjunction with VBA, Java and Python code.In addition, AA is well priced and allows us to keep costs as a minimum. Finally, AA is meant for anyone to use. I'm a tax accountant by trade and we were able to pick the software up easily enough with no formal programming training. We do work with AA across all aspects of our global enterprise. It has really become a partner to our back office personnel.

Minpunten:

When Automation Anywhere (AA) has done large upgrades over the years it's often times been incredibly painful as we migrate from one version to the next. This has led to down time and rather frustrating stretches of time as we work through the issues and try to get bots working again. Additionally, in our history, it seems that AA often times rushes product and ideas to market without fully testing them, preferring, rather, for it's customers to be the beta testers in real time. This has led to times where we thought functionality was going to be available, but it wasn't working correctly at time of release. Again, frustrating, but by no means a deal breaker.

Making Easier

Opmerkingen: It's like having an extra pair of hands to assist us, especially during busy periods. The time and effort it has saved us have allowed us to focus on more important aspects of our work – like engaging with our students and crafting meaningful lesson plans. I've seen my fellow teachers and staff members breathe a sigh of relief as they watch tasks that used to eat up hours being completed automatically.

Pluspunten:

Automation Anywhere has been a real game-changer in simplifying our daily tasks. One thing I loved was how it took the repetitive, time-consuming chores off our hands. It's like having a helping hand that never gets tired! The drag-and-drop interface made it surprisingly easy to create automation workflows, even for someone like me who's not a tech whiz. Plus, the ability to automate tasks across various software and applications saved us heaps of time.

Minpunten:

While Automation Anywhere has been a great addition to our toolkit, it's not without its quirks. One thing that gave me a bit of trouble was the learning curve. Understanding all the features and options took some effort. Also, there were times when the automation workflows needed a bit of tweaking to work seamlessly with certain software. And, of course, there's the inevitable fear of something going wrong with automation – a glitch or hiccup that needs troubleshooting.

Point to be considered before going for Automation Anywhere

Pluspunten:

The UI is so simple to use and most of the tools available to perform operations .OCR works well.IQ is good option to work on paper data.

Minpunten:

Few features are missing in comparison of other Automation tools.

Excellent RPA with great enterprise-grade capabilities and a user-friendly interface.

Opmerkingen: The completely automated business process has provided value to our company by allowing us to automate rule-based check-ins and check-outs of repetitive operations, hence increasing productivity and allowing us to focus more on growth and cost reductions. Simple manual operations involving clicks and typing, as well as more complicated ones requiring OCR or Machine Learning models to extract information from forms or invoices and then feed that data into other systems. Benefits gained include increased capacity, improved data accuracy, improved compliance, reduced risk, and improved customer/employee experience.

Pluspunten:

This solution uses AI to undertake repetitive chores, allowing you to focus on larger business concerns and, ultimately, develop your firm while handling the boring jobs. Automation Anywhere allows users to create processes in either a structured flowchart manner or a line-by-line coding approach, allowing them to select the style that best fits them. The most recent version, A360, transforms the platform into a cloud-native environment, making it much easier to use, administer, and build bots.

Minpunten:

It may be challenging to set up the automation at first, but if you break down each business process in depth, you will be able to manage this issue and appropriately apply the solution. Instead of having a new action for essentially the same thing, only using a different variable type (for example, assigning a string vs. assigning a number), I'd like to have several activities consolidated into one and then wrapped in config settings. I'd also like to be able to color the stages so that I can readily identify bundled tasks like logging, error handling steps, happy path, and so on.
