I prefer to use https://www.automationanywhere.com/products/automation-360 for Robotic Process Automation (RPA). It is super easy to use! I deployed around 60 bots over the last year with it.
Well some teams have definitely started to catch up with the times from a software tech perspective..
For ex. , McLaren has a sponsor called 'automation anywhere' who happen to be one of the biggest rpa (robotic process automation) players around, and their software tool helps McLaren to do several calculations on the race day which otherwise could've resulted in shit ton of manual work.
here's the link to official announcement
I am sure almost all of the teams would use some similar technology fabric but understandably wouldn't advertise them out in the open I guess.
It took them a year to develop and yet, when they honed it down to this mark, they didn't do a reverse image search to find that Automation Anywhere's existing logo is almost identical?
Free community edition of Automation Anywhere would do this easily.

I'm an automation software dev, this is my bread and butter now. One implementation of our product saw a 500% increase in productivity, because it watched knowledge workers performing their daily tasks and found the most efficient method of doing it and used RPA to handle it from there.
Very well put. I wish I could add more but you really covered the topic well.
Automation has been a concept for centuries, but is particularly in focus in current events because of the Fourth Industrial Revolution. We are now in a state where digital automation technology packaged with AI is now a low-code or no-code consumer-ready product. A business can use something like Mimica to monitor user behavior, map it to a business process, and then rapidly build and deploy automation software like Automation Anywhere to execute the process with zero human intervention.
The barrier to entry to automating your day-to-day work has never been lower. The horse has met the tractor, except in this case we are the horse.
A small read for you, applies to any tool.
With relation to SWOT on attended automation. You really need to think about the benefits of what you are trying to automate.
We are very happy with the switch, even introducing RPAto the executives was easy. Have you tried the IQ Bot? It identifies where automation can be applied.
Free Community edition according to their website: https://www.automationanywhere.com/products/enterprise/community-edition

I don't see any documentation on the 250 robot limit. Is that 250 concurrent robot runtimes? Because most users I've ever encountered, even at the large business level, are still in the sub-30 robot level.
EDIT: Per AA's Community Edition license, small businesses are limited to five users.

The video here seems to suggest it allows users to automate a huge variety of procedures, down to things like copying info from a website, pasting it into an email and sending it all with one click.
I'm sure it's far more complicated, but that seems to be the basics of it.
Everyone is moving cloud based, I hope their architecture isn't fat and clunky. I do hold hope though as their 11.3 upgrade gave significant boosts in performance.
The linux server deployment is also really nice.
For those wondering: https://www.automationanywhere.com/products/enterprise/a2019
An automation software like Automation Anywhere would work. It can interact with web pages and put the files where needed. We use it at work to automate processes just as you described.
I had a demo of AA few days ago, they have a very good recorder and it’s available since 2016 (https://www.automationanywhere.com/blog/stories-from-the-front-lines/record-is-critical-for-enterprise-grade-rpa), so I believe they are clearly on the top of their game on this one. Considering the training, I totally agree with you on that one. UiPath has the biggest community, video, help... impossible to understand or read the rating here, except from a certification stand point.
I take back what I said, the article has the wrong link. They do actually have a community edition!
