Has significantly improved document-driven workflows and reduced processing time across finance and HR functions

Automation Anywhere has evolved significantly and upgraded itself to provide agentic AI and AI-based automation solutions for document automation. The product has matured considerably over time. We can create workflows that can call an API. We can include prompts in particular workflows for ChatGPT-related functions, connecting to an LLM and RAG to perform tasks. For document automation, modern features are available to train documents, ensuring high accuracy and repeatability over time. The system is very easy to use. I recently completed a course in document automation, typically designed for people involved in coding and technical aspects. Though I understand coding comprehensively, I don't do actual coding. The course was very accessible. Currently, extensive coding isn't necessary due to the hybrid model incorporating GenAI aspects, low-code, no-code capabilities, APIs, and numerous pre-built objects in Automation Anywhere. The features include GenAI-driven prompting methods and workflow creation capabilities. In these workflows, we can create decision boxes and call APIs without coding. We simply pull objects, drop them, connect them, and add minimal coding when needed. The most crucial aspect isn't coding but rather sizing the automation and fleshing out the details. Automation Co-pilot takes notes and performs automated analysis. It can extract details from videos, summarize conversations, and provide detailed information. During calls, it identifies instructions and performs tasks such as preparing reports and reconciliation. Automation Anywhere can also connect with Microsoft Co-pilot. Through Co-pilot, real-time operations can be executed, allowing direct interaction between vendors and automation through this component.

Responsive support, easy to use, and reliable

It helped a lot when we started using it with more images. Before, it was basic. With images, it's more effective. Users consider it more animated and user-friendly. We can easily track a process and know exactly where a process is. It's a low-code application. The solution is very easy to use. It is stable and reliable. The solution scales well. Technical support is extremely responsive.

High-accuracy document processing with easy integration and good image enhancement

The OCR extractions are very good, almost 100% accurate now. The integration with other tools is very easy, with inbuilt actions to configure and directly export to multiple depositories. It is also good at image enhancement, including the removal of lines, which is helpful in processing and automation and ensures very little user intervention, thus saving time.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:

Pros

"The Object Cloning command is the most useful feature. Through the use of this command, between 30% and 40% of the process automation is complete."

"It is easy to automate SAP by using Cloning and Metabot."

"Compared to other RPA tools, I prefer Automation Anywhere."

"Automation Anywhere has excellent features."

"In Automation Anywhere we liked the drag-and-drop and easily stitching the recording of mouse control and keyboard controls."

"Object cloning with an option to enter wildcard selection was very useful when working in a web application that generated dynamic HTML content."

"In human resources, we created several core SAP systems so that the basic users in human resources can reduce redundancies by 10 times with very little cost."

"This solution allows us to more fully automate our clients' specific tools."

More Automation Anywhere pros

"I chose AuraPortal due to its capabilities for implementing BPM solutions with limited programming skills, as interfaces can be developed very fast and the cycle time for developing applications or integration between different systems can be improved by 70-80%."

"AuraPortal is very user-friendly and flexible; it's really interesting for me, and I'm focusing on this application and BPM because it's really complete."

"AuraQuantic's most valuable features are the zero code, user-friendly mode, and integration."

"AuraPortal provides several solutions embedded into one single platform that provides unbroken services to resolve almost any type of process for almost any industry segment."

"AuraPortal has the best price for its process."

"It's a low-code application."

"AuraPortal is very user-friendly and flexible."

"AuraPortal is a beautiful solution for any company because you can do everything you want."

More AuraQuantic pros

"It is highly scalable; we have customers who are pumping through thousands of documents a day, and if you're looking for enterprise, this is the solution because it is a platform."

"Very scalable and stable data capture and extraction solution that's very simple to install."

"It's resiliency, with multiple ways of identifying what you are looking for and multiple export formats, and it's a platform, not a configured application, so you can do what you want with it."

"It's a stable product; we've seen other capture products on the market and our view of Datacap is that it's best-of-breed."

"I can have all scanners accessible from my end."

"It's a platform, not a configured application, so you can do what you want with it."

"It is the best solution for scanning purposes."

"One valuable feature of IBM Datacap is the OCR capability, along with its ability to read fields from documents."

More IBM Datacap pros

Cons

"The regional distribution in Turkey can be improved."

"Sometimes the tool is timing out, which would be a good thing to have resolved."

"With the PDF command, you can only read structured data. If your data is in an unstructured format, there is no command for it in Automation Anywhere. Then, people need to use Python coding if their data is in unstructured format. Therefore, Automation Anywhere needs to improve in the PDF area."

"The basic features are acceptable, but advanced tools often require deeper technical expertise, which can slow adoption. Additionally, some users experience delays in customer support for complex issues."

"There could be improvement in the reporting and insights into the ROI. The ROI tool that shows the performance and the return on investment is not very accurate."

"One of the important drawbacks of Automation Anywhere is that it needs to be able to show the automated process as a single flowchart."

"One aspect I wish to mention regarding needed improvements is that Automation Anywhere currently works only on Windows systems."

"Off the top of my head, I cannot think of anything that they would need to improve on, but there are probably opportunities to explore some potential use cases where maybe there is a feature that is not yet available. We can discover and pioneer something together."

More Automation Anywhere cons

"One thing that could be improved would be for it to be deployed in a shorter time."

"We'd like it more animated. It would be useful if we could integrate GIFs, for example."

"There should be a more affordable consulting pricing."

"I would like to see support for Unix, Oracle and other RDBMS."

"More documentation and the ability to extract different reports about different relations in the objects I use will help."

"AuraQuantic's price could be improved."

"The price could be better. It's quite expensive."

"When I scan a document in Datacap that has a watermark or the document is a little distorted, the image output is poor."

"IBM needs to improve on scanning and reading accuracy for unstructured documents. Additionally, an important missing feature is the ability to merge documents and present data across different UI screens."

"The technical support is horrible. They have downsized the support teams too much. They've outsourced some of them along with some of the development, and they're just stretched too thin."

"Speed of OCR is one issue. It's a challenge because we have customers that have millions and millions of pages that they want this solution to crank through. In order to do that you have to have a large infrastructure in place, and that directly impacts licensing based on the core count."

"There should be an increase in the capacity of the workflows. Datacap is a little limited in this aspect. So, you cannot really implement all the possibilities."

"Recognition between certain numbers and letters could be improved. Sometimes this solution misreads five with an "S" for Singapore."

"Going forward, IBM needs to ensure that the output is perfect (as it can make the product) while staying true to platform's core."

"When a client's requirement is not available in Datacap, out-of-the-box actions should be simpler to implement and not very complex."

More IBM Datacap cons

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The cost is anywhere between $10,000 and $100,000."

"Subscription for Automation Anywhere (AA) is paid yearly."

"We brought onshore a lot of what we were doing offshore, saving our company close to $20 million."

"Automation Anywhere is costlier than the general competition. That is aligned with the share of the market it has."

"Additional costs will be for the machines and the number of machines that you are using. You can deploy virtually as well as on physical machines. In both the situations, you do need to allocate a certain budget for securing the machines and where the software will be installed and running. The machines cannot be used for anything else, because only a certain bot can run at a certain time. You need to be very particular about your scheduling of running the bots, and while the bot is running nobody can use the machine. You cannot have an agent working on a machine and the bot running in the background. It has to be completely dedicated. Then there are the network bandwidth requirements and space requirements, which are additional costs apart from the licensing and software costs. The developer is also going to charge you for their coding time too."

"The pricing is fair. My company is part of a big organization, so the pricing is very advantageous."

"Automation Anywhere is cheaper than UiPath and Blue Prism. From a market point of view, Automation Anywhere is reasonable. Any organization can adopt Automation Anywhere."

"Pricing is a bit high when compared to other available tools; however, the tool is worth the cost."

More Automation Anywhere pricing and cost advice

"The price could be better. It's quite expensive."

"This solution offers seamless integration with other enterprise products, which is my area of responsibility, focusing on government sector projects. Larger enterprise projects don't pose problems. It might be suitable for small businesses as well."

"We were using the User Value Unit licensing, which means we get charged per active user of the system, and if I'm not mistaken, we also had it for the rule runner service. They had a PVU license model, which is a processor value unit. For each process that we have in our system, we pay a certain amount of money. We found the pricing to be quite steep. It was really an expensive solution in comparison to Kofax, which had a different licensing model and was actually cheaper overall because they charge per page and not per user and per process."

"Pricing needs to stay competitive."

"It varies, and it depends on the client's requirements and negotiations. Nowadays, Datacap is also included in the IBM Cloud Pak for Business Automation."

"In Egypt, we have exchange rates that change year to year, and currently, we're facing an increase in the exchange rate between our Egyptian pound and the dollar. Since we have been using IBM DataCap two years ago we had a good price, it was not expensive. However, I cannot say now if it is expensive or not because of the exchange rate. Additionally, I don't have the data of other competitors and I don't know the prices."

"It is an expensive solution."

"You save a lot of time and money, but the benefit is you have people who are able to run the systems, check to see if there are any errors at all, and there are a lot less errors than a human system."
