| I LOVE Automation Anywhere! It's allowed us to stop paying a part-timer to scrape different websites for the data we need, which was a tedious job to begin with. I was also very impressed with the support I received. I had a problem that AA support team was very responsive and helpful with, time and again, until we figured it out. Great product, great support, great company! Thanks |
