We use Automation Anywhere to automate our processes. The company has three bot creators and one bot runner, but there are other users triggering the bots in various ways. I don't have a precise number of end-users, but it's around 20 people.

They've added some handy Excel actions that have saved me a lot of time as a developer
What is our primary use case?
How has it helped my organization?
The solution's primary benefit is improved efficiency. Automation Anywhere enabled us to enhance many processes that were previously done manually. It helps save time while improving compliance by keeping the data clean. We've also increased visibility for our end-users because we use the data from Automation Anywhere to build dashboards.
Each process might take one or two hours manually, but we can complete the same processes in a few minutes. It frees our employees to focus on other things, such as training and building new skills. It took about three weeks to fully realize the benefits because we had to adjust the processes.
The API integration has been helpful. There are no errors, and it performs much faster than any object clone or anything like that. My overall experience with API integration is positive. I use Power Automate for documents and OCR, but I haven't used Automation Anywhere for this purpose. It saves time if we use the APIs more than just the RPA bots, and it reduces the number of errors. Overall, our automation consumption has increased by about 70 percent.
What is most valuable?
I've had a generally positive experience with Automation Anywhere. The solution has improved significantly in the latest version. They've added some handy Excel actions that have saved me a lot of time as a developer. Object cloning has been enhanced, so our automated processes are more stable and have fewer errors.
Automation Anywhere is accessible to users without technical knowledge. However, you need to learn some basic programming skills to go from conceptualizing a business use case to realizing an automated process. Breaking down a process step by step requires some rudimentary programming and problem-solving skills. Most of it is drag-and-drop, but you need to understand programming logic.
I had some programming skills before I started, so it wasn't difficult for me to learn. It took me about two weeks to get comfortable using the software. There are lots of resources online, so I could easily Google information whenever I got stuck on something.
I haven't tried training any non-technical users. When I started at this company, we all underwent the same training. The employees' skills and backgrounds varied. I have more of a technical background, and another colleague had taken some programming courses previously. Others had backgrounds in finance, operations, marketing, etc. All of those people took seven days of training, but they aren't doing anything with Automation Anywhere. They're business users, not developers. Non-technical people need at least a couple of weeks to learn the solution.
What needs improvement?
We've struggled with some of the new features Automation Anywhere added in the latest version. For example, they added a new OpenAI package, but it took a while for me to find it in the actions menu.
It would be helpful if the company communicated more about new features or created some built-in instructions within the platform. I feel like we aren't fully utilizing the latest features. They could add some links to tutorials or provide some training to walk us through the new features.
For how long have I used the solution?
I've been using Automation Anywhere for three years.
What do I think about the stability of the solution?
The stability has improved significantly in the latest version.
What do I think about the scalability of the solution?
I rate Automation Anywhere eight out of 10 for scalability. The scalability is excellent because we have subtasks and bots that we can reuse to scale up other customers. We can build templates and customize them for various clients' needs. We can also combine sub-tasks and templates to build bigger bots.
How are customer service and support?
I rate Automation Anywhere seven out of 10 for support. We had a customer service rep who was supposed to help us with issues when they arise, but we had a bad experience, so we started going through the ticketing system, which has worked out well.
Which solution did I use previously and why did I switch?
I was using the online version of Power Automate to try it out for a week or two.
What other advice do I have?
I rate Automation Anywhere eight out of 10. I recommend getting some training before using Automation Anywhere. Try to automate as many processes as you can to understand appropriate use cases. You must learn to translate a business requirement into a bot's coding. Learn as much as you can about all the features. It's sometimes hard to keep up with the latest updates.
My biggest lesson has been the importance of persistence. You have to keep trying to improve the processes because there are often better ways to do something and multiple approaches you can adopt. You need to occasionally revisit processes you've already automated and consider ways to improve them. Initially, I would automate a process and move on, but you sometimes need to optimize the process first.
