We performed a comparison between Automation Anywhere (AA) and AutomationEdge based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two Robotic Process Automation (RPA) solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI.
"It has reduced the number of full-time employees."
"We have the MetaBot feature, which is valuable because we can read reusable components in the MetaBot, then use them as a framework."
"I utilize all the commands provided by Automation Anywhere, such as all the recorders. I use these commands to develop my processes and bots."
"We are making less mistakes and have more metrics available to understand what our problems are. Now, we can do root cause analysis and have less noise in the system during the process."
"It is easy to use and very scalable."
"The solution helps with reducing operational costs, which can be reduced by up to 30% to 40% in savings in terms of operational cost."
"The Automation Anywhere University is a good tool. It goes topic-by-topic with real-time examples."
"I'm impressed with the scalability. We are able to do changes. We are able to scale from different environments now with the Control Room in version 10 and 11. The scalability is pretty good. It is up to the mark of the other market competitors."
"The product's most valuable feature is the executor."
"The initial setup was easy and straightforward."
"The ability to automate our processes with external plug-ins and zero code is the most valuable feature."
"If we want to change your processes, we can code it from scratch, making it a beneficial feature of the product."
"It helps us with cost optimization and easy implementation."
"We can quickly adapt to our end users."
"The chatbot that they have is most valuable. It is one of the best features because they own it, and they don't need to integrate with other parties to have a chatbot. This is one of the main features. The rest of the features are common to all RPA tools or vendors available in the market."
"The support from the vendor is very good."
"Regarding the UI, once you're on some of the screens there are fixed dialogues, they are a set size, so there's a lot of horizontal scrolls and vertical scrolls. If I want to do something that is purely business-related and is somewhat complex to write or is nuanced, I sometimes have trouble implementing that inside of the Automation Anywhere script."
"We had initial hiccups, like any new process. It took us six to eight months to sort the product out."
"As of now IQ Bot only takes/fetches the record of the places that we have marked. e.g. Invoices fields that are dynamic in nature are very difficult to fetch the data from the scan copy. If this feature gets added, it will save a lot of time for developers."
"The human training area is still something that needs to be improved. It's not so much the actual technology learning, but rather how you bring this to life with all the peripheral competencies that are needed for it."
"One of the things that we did was purchase the solution originally through IBM, as they had an value-added layer on top of it. Once we had another group come on, they purchased additional bots directly from Automation Anywhere, and they wouldn't integrate well. We had to uninstall the solution that we had purchased from IBM and reinstall those bots to move forward."
"Automation Anywhere can also be improved in machine learning and artificial intelligence. It would make our lives easier."
"It should have more commands, which should remove the dependency on MetaBots or other scripts so that everything is available in the tool itself."
"With Citrix, we need a dedicated server to work with it. This has become complicated, as it is not easy to pull all the systems together into one place. It would be better if the Automation Anywhere team could make this easy and simple."
"AutomationEdge's ecosystem has shortcomings and needs improvement. When we compare AutomationEdge to other RPA tools in our company, we find that it has a very minor online community."
"It's not an intuitive tool."
"The price of the solution could be improved."
"The ease of use is the main thing on which they really have to focus. If they want to go against the giants, it should be improved in ease of use, and it should be more user-friendly. It would be helpful because everyone should be empowered irrespective of whether they know how to code or not. They should enhance its user interface and make it more intuitive."
"We cannot use extra modules while working with AutomationEdge. It crashes if we have lots of data to process in Excel."
"With the solution, customizing software can be time-consuming."
"They could provide more technologies for IT and security to enhance machine learning capabilities."
"There are some shortcomings in the product's stability that need improvement."
