What differentiates Automation Anywhere from other similar products?

At the beginning of the introduction, cooperation with Google Spreadsheets was very limited and, although good at Excel operations, it was difficult to create Google Spreadsheets. However, with the expansion of functions due to the version upgrade, it has become possible to operate reading and writing cells in spreadsheets. I think you may enjoy reading the spreadsheet management table and running it automatically in order according to the flags. In an environment where screen locking is required by time due to security policy, it is wonderful that you can easily configure it to run automatically.

What is your favorite aspect of this product?

Originally, when it was time to gather user requests into a spreadsheet, Google Script would notify an email and the person in charge would work on it, but with Google Script I was able to perform the function of creating a file, using the spreadsheet content as a trigger to create a file, and the bot to operate and work, and when finished, capture an image of the completion screen and email it. This removes the constraint of having to work when the time comes and reduces not only the hours of work but also the psychological load.

What do you dislike most about this product?

I have a bot runner installed in the VM environment to operate it, but it is not stable because functions that basically should succeed (like clicking a particular button in the browser on the screen) do not succeed. There is a failure log indicating that the button was not found, but if you run it again, it will succeed, so it's not like I made a mistake when creating the bot. It would be nice if the stability here could be improved further.

What recommendations would you give to someone considering this product?

Compared to client-side bot management, where bot management tends to be complicated, it is possible to manage the running state of bots with a server type, and it is relatively easy to operate not only with Excel but also with Google Spreadsheets. You can also register credentials such as IDs and passwords to log in to various services in a hidden state and use them when logging in, so even if multiple users use the registered password, other users can use it.
