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.
Good product

Very well structured content and very interactive to keep one's attention throughout the courses.

What do you like best about the product?
It is one of the leaders and that is important just to be sure you are not wrong if you select it. I appreciate its recent announcement of a free version. Architecture also seems strong although I haven't made real tests yet..
What do you dislike about the product?
Worfkflow edition is less graphical and more difficult to use (at least for beginners) than other products.Traning material is not very good: some demo videos are toooo long and difficult to understand and I'll appreciate written documents easy to review.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Too soon to answer that.question but, typically, I assume I'll use it to automate manaul tasks handling spreadshhets or paper documents, and interface with ERP systems.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
(1) Make sure RPA is what you want (2) Make sure yo redesign process first and automate then (3) Just compare Automation Anyware with the two other big ones: UiPath & Blue Prism (4) Take advantage of free version if applicable (5) Study cloud vs on-premise option (6) Pay attention to Bot Store!
