Reconciliation of amount from the bank website and from the report generated in form of Proof Entry Template manually.

Easy to Automate Complex scenrio with repitative Task
What do you like best about the product?
The Training has all the info about the creation of bot and to automate other applications like excel files. The Process of creating bot is very easy . The excel processing training material is good i.e. how its fetching data from excel . I can say its the future of automation for repeating task. Its very good product in respect to current competitive market. Anyone can learn it and can be used by a person without strong technical knowledge.
What do you dislike about the product?
Installation part is very tough and its very difficult to understand the procedure. So it will good if it can be simplified . The Training are very lengthy though its informative. Course is also very long. Need to spent more time to learn more feature. The UI and Navigation may be improved . May be changed after my expired trial version. The costing is high as per I know.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Preparing of daily task mail and sending to team members is a repeating and time consuming task .
So its helping on it. Though i have not used the other feature but as per my understanding it will solve more complicated task more easily. I also posted one idea regarding the automation of HR process for an internal idea competition. Though I have not got the chance to implement it or how can it be implemented .

Excellent tool for automating business process
What do you like best about the product?
As an RPA tool, "Automation Anywhere" has excellent Object Identification capability and it's very easy to modify the Objects in case there is any change in the object property. The Business Work Flow can be managed in a very effective way and the ability to centrally manage all the business process execution is very good. The bot can be deployed for almost all kind of applications and it executes at a very fast speed compared to the available RPA tools in the market.
What do you dislike about the product?
There is an area of improvement in UI of the tool and it can be made more user friendly. It will add more value if there is an option to write business logic using any scripting language like VB Script, Java Script for the advance users and to handle complex business processes in an efficient way.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Automating business processes for filling up web based form and generating report based on business logic.

AA leads automation world
What do you like best about the product?
Love Automation Anywhere specifically IQBOT and meta Bot. Easy to learn and implement. Automation Anywhere provides easy interface and user friendly even a non technical person can adopt with little efforts. IQBOT is very accurate and efficient functionality when it comes to PDF and/or OCR capabilities.
What do you dislike about the product?
Control room or more specifically the complete architecture is bit complex for beginners and hope to have it simplified experience in cloud.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Easy to automate for some of basic challenges like screen recording, PDF extraction etc.
Interactive Sessions with Automation Anywhere
What do you like best about the product?
It is easy to use, easy to understand, and easy to automate the processes with Drag Drop functionality.
I mostly like the functionality of Metabot which makes AA more scalar, robust, reusable, and can be used to automate a wide variety of applications (SAP, web application, windows application, outlook, excel). It supports running Jave script and vbs.
AA training courses have Interactive sessions with Hands-on features in between the topics.

What do you dislike about the product?
It has fewer features for excel and email automation commands and sometimes object cloning doesn't work properly. Debugging feature is not much enhanced. It has less variable type and so we face issues with dates and numbers format.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I have to automate the store reconciliation process for one of the client. In this process, I have to reconcile the cash deposit by different company stores with bank deposits. Using AA, It took very little time and human error was negligible.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
It is more script-based so logical analysis should be good.
AA - a good tool to start your RPA career
What do you like best about the product?
A good tool to start with. Lot of Knowedge articles and Automation Anywhere university has helped any new comers to learn, get a hold on the tool and implement.
What do you dislike about the product?
* Frequent changes in the architecture and tough to upgrade the older versions. Few core logics of the commands were updated resulting in updating the logic - hence can be considered as not a smooth transition when migrated to a new version of the tool.
* The architecture of the firms changes based on multiple reasons. If in case there are any issues, there will be a lot of time being invested to identify the root cause of the issue and then provide a solution.
* Initial AA support should try to understand the question/issue first of the requestor rather than sharing the default Knowledge articles to look at by default. Most of the initial replies we get from the Level 1 support where we do not get answers and have to explain multiple times and then the issue gets escalated. This can be avoided if the support guys understand the issue first and then act accordingly. This would help in addressing the issue much faster rather than going back and forth to get a solution.

Best RPA tool in market of 2019.
What do you like best about the product?
Before when we switch to this tool there was common practice to write repetitive code again and again. But once when we switch to this with help to script only repetitive code is avoided which saves much resources.
Without knowing any programming language we can use the product.
Using there we can avoid many human error.
With this the transaction speed is also increased so that we can save both time and cost.
It helps on scale up from desktop to data center.

What do you dislike about the product?
The support Automation Anywhere for Virtual machine is not present as i have tried to use on VM but it was not supported. So maybe in upcoming day i would really like to see these feature.
Team need to improve the debugging tools. Sometimes while creating bot , sometimes it does not upload on control room so if development team takes care it will be good.

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Generally I used Automation Anywhere for bot designing. Nowadays I am leaning AISense for automation of complex applications.
Meta Bot is really helpful for solving Many complex problem and the ease of using it was at another level.
With the use of task bot also repetitive task can be taken care of.

The workflow recorder is really helpful as well to non technical users and beginners to automation platforms specially automation anywhere

Nothing much. It's difficult to debug (step by step debugging), less functions for excel automation,the development is linear, flowchart type for development will be helpful
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Financial processes in our company, we have simplified process and replace a lot of FTEs, we also use it for admin tasks to simplify repetitive processes, we replace FTEs and assign them to more complex tasks.I have used AA in IE application/website automation as well. AA helps the businesses save FTEs and the employees can focus more on other work that needs more time and adds value to the company.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Flowchart type of development and easier debugging would be helpful, more excel functions should be added as it is needed in the financial services mostly that are being automated by our company.
