Automation Anywhere review

Automation Anywhere is a full enterprise RPA system and ranks third because its capabilities are close to UiPath's while its pricing is opaque. Its RPA page says the platform can deploy across cloud, hybrid or on-premises, and that workloads and schedules are managed through a pure web-based Control Room with role-based access and full audit trails. The page pitches keeping legacy systems and applications in place while bots work around them. The integrations page lists packaged actions for SAP, Salesforce, ServiceNow, Workday, Microsoft 365 and more, plus open standards like REST and SOAP for systems without packages. A customer story describes Merck automating 64 business processes across 14 SAP systems. There is a free Cloud Community Edition for trying the platform. What is missing is a price: the pricing URLs we tried returned a not-found page, so every real deployment starts with a sales conversation. Teams that need on-premises control and strong governance should still shortlist it.
