Rick Koo - PeerSpot reviewer
Leading-edge NLP capabilities, efficient training of machine learning models, and the automation saves us significant time
The machine learning capability is good. The algorithm helps us to get the right data with less training effort. The technology seems to be a little bit ahead of the standard NLP software. They use more pattern recognition, rather than basing everything on reading static text. The problem with relying on an unchanging text is that it can depend on things such as the formatting, and where things appear within a document. This solution can process complex formats, which is helpful for us because we get a lot of PDFs and they come in many different formats. As an example, a carrier might include a list of their rates in a table, whereas a different carrier will write their rates into a paragraph, and yet another will put them into some sort of graphic. If you only capture text then you will only capture part of that data. Pattern recognition ultimately helps us to circumvent the problems in dealing with format variability in documents and allows us to capture the right data. When it comes to predicting what it is that a document needs manual intervention, CMR Plus does it pretty well. They have a QA cycle that is usually able to highlight such data. The content recognition ability, in terms of giving us only the data that we need and nothing else, is pretty good. It has a positive effect on our efficiency and by extension, it impacts our infrastructure costs.

Has valuable OCR capabilities and a straightforward setup process
The initial setup is straightforward. Automation Anywhere's cloud-based tools make the deployment process relatively easy compared to other solutions. The on-premises version can be deployed in about a week, as testing is involved. However, deploying the cloud version takes approximately 30 minutes since everything is pre-configured and ready to deploy.

Pros

"Pattern recognition ultimately helps us to circumvent the problems in dealing with format variability in documents and allows us to capture the right data."
"The automation provided by this solution has saved us a lot of time."
"The most valuable features are rapid development, stability, and ease of use."
"The most valuable feature of IQ Bot is that any user can customize it on their own, and they don't need to get in touch with Automation Anywhere."
"The way that the learning combines with the OCR is the solution's most valuable aspect."
"The most valuable feature is the cognitive, self-learning component that understands the undefined templates."
"Extracting information from 500,000 invoices manually is difficult. IQ Bot automates the task and helps us summarize the data and provide it to the auditors."
"Our mainframe-based and web-based projects are working well, with no issues."
"We have been using it only for two months, and so far, it is working fine. It is easy to use."
"IQ Bot's connectivity to various cloud service providers is beneficial."
 

Cons

"It would be very helpful to have a simple and extensive training guide, or training model, to help learn how to work with the product."
"We would like to see the overall accuracy increase from approximately 70% to perhaps 85%."
"Migrating from the previous version to the current version is a little tricky."
"The user should be able to update the data libraries."
"We face a few data extraction challenges when we use a huge data set with different formats."
"I know that Automation Anywhere just said that IQ Bot 11 and higher versions are ready to extract the documents with less than 300 DPI, however, this is not true. I never could work with documents with less than 300 DPI."
"The price of IQ Bot, packaged with Automation Anywhere, is too expensive for some companies and they will not use it."
"It would be good if the solution could extract or capture details from unstructured data."
"IQ Bot needs to scale up further because many other industry products that are capable of capturing handwritten information are doing much better. So, it would be better if IQ Bot spent more time on handwritten data extraction."
"Could improve with regard to hand-written documents."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The pricing is really good, and it's based on usage."
"The package that includes Automation Anywhere and IQ Bot starts at $10,000 USD."
"The pricing is complicated but I wouldn't say that they are expensive."
"IQ Bot is expensive compared to other solutions."
"The product’s price is always in the higher range."
"I feel that the price of IQ Bot could be lower."
"There are others like Automation Anywhere offering similar kinds of bots for less. Most of the platforms are the same, and most of the features are the same, but not the licensing cost."
"If you make use of only a few bots, this solution is very cheap."
"The solution’s hardware cost is high."
