Accommodates diverse use cases and effectively meets customer requirements

AI agents need further improvements. AI agent technology in agentic process automation is still evolving. We have only scratched the surface, and there are many potential use cases yet to be explored. As technology advances, I believe it will enable us to implement more comprehensive automation solutions. Document Automation has issues related to speed. When I compare Document Automation with IQ Bot, IQ Bot is faster than Document Automation. My understanding is that they are still evolving Document Automation, and this issue of slowness will be resolved in the upcoming .35 version, so we are good with that. They are working on signature identification and validations for handwritten documents. Currently, we are able to extract data out of scanned but digital images, but there is still scope for improvement for handwritten documents.

Software client for modelling and web portal are both directly accessible through one interface

There are just some things in the new product that are not really functional issues but improvements that BIC will have to make. For example, there are some small features that I feel are missing as of now. From an administrative perspective, you might not have the ability to trigger specific actions on a set of workflows. For example, let's say the interface is showing you a list of currently active workflows. Sometime you may find yourself in a situation where you need to select many workflows at a time. An easy example would be that — for whatever reason — you have 1000 or 2000 active workflows and you need somehow to delete them or just to stop them. It is preferable to be able to do this in one click to apply the change to all of them. So I think this is something that is missing which could probably be easily implemented. Right now it just seems omitted. I don't know if the omission was possibly due to a performance issue or if it was chosen by design. But from an end-user perspective — especially as an administrator — this capability to make bulk changes might be a handy solution when dealing with a large volume of workflows that you have to apply a simple command to in a similar way. From my point of view at the moment, all the most important features I am in need of are available. All the tools necessary for daily business for process modeling are there. There certainly is room for improvement. Many other features might be important depending on the specific use case. For instance, there are many notification features that already exist within the tools. These could notify people with different roles based on the specific workflow that is being triggered, which is pretty nice and efficient. I think the tool is quite stable right now, which is positive, and I don't believe it does require further additional things — especially if these are small things and to get them in would be rushing the development. If that may somehow affect the stability and usability, I would rather wait. Something that would also be improved in the workflow is just a cosmetic change. But it could also be a functional change. As an end-user, I do expect to be able to make selections of a set of workflows and apply some specific action to the group. If you have a list, then you should be able to select all the list items or part of the list and apply changes to that selection. This might be just something very easy I believe, to fix from their side.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"Efficiency is something that has increased a lot. Productivity has increased a lot too."

"We saw a 70 percent decrease in manual steps. If something took 10 steps to do, we are doing it in three steps today."

"The overall developer client has an easy-to-use UI."

"Manual efforts have been reduced and the accuracy has increased. In the processes I have done, the accuracy has reached 100 percent, and manual load and time has been reduced."

"It helps with the speed on improving processes and the results of those processes."

"Automation Anywhere receives high marks for its ease of use."

"For business professionals, it automates repetitive tasks and enhances efficiency and cost savings."

"I like web automation and SAP application automation."

More Automation Anywhere pros

"This is low-cost and very user friendly. A variety of models are available depending on the needs of the customer."

"While this is a new product it has a mature feel from being built by a company with many years in the business."

"The product is easy to use."

"The central dictionary is a valuable feature."

Cons

"There is a small thing from a development point of view. There should be a static site box for finding any command if I am writing a code. If there are hundreds of functions, you can only scroll up and down to find one each one. There should be a site box where we can find the commands and easily use them."

"The conversion time of invoices to JSON File should take less time using AA2019 IQBot, the report file creation feature should be added into IQ Bot A2019."

"If we are getting input from a CSV file, we have to add one more layer of automation that first saves the data to an Excel file."

"I am looking for artificial intelligence and machine learning. I hope that they introduce them in A2019. I'm looking forward to what will be there in A2019 because that's the area that we need to go forward. We are looking for Automation Anywhere to put up their efforts to make it easier by incorporating artificial intelligence and machine learning. Along with RPA, this would make our automation journey very easy. We can bring more processes into automation, that's where I am looking for automation to focus on."

"I am looking into IQ Bot, but I wanted more out of it. I am dealing with a lot of scanned documents. I want to see if Automation Anywhere can scan client emails for us because our clients send emails with some incidents and issues. We want to see how automation can automatically do the processing and create some structured data or automate bots to get work done."

"One of the things that the product should have is to add more advanced level developer capabilities into the platform. I know it is easy for business, non-technical people. However, for the developers, there should be some more features within the product so they can build advanced level use cases much faster."

"Automation Anywhere is not fully compatible with browsers other than Internet Explorer while working with web extraction."

"Triggers work in the attended mode on Automation Anywhere. I would love it if we could use triggers in the unattended mode too. This way we can use the feature more in our IT sector. E.g., when any service or folder is accessed by unauthorized person, we want to be able to get an immediate trigger, even on "out of office", this would be helpful for my organization."

More Automation Anywhere cons

"There's an issue with the current manual that they're working on."

"The solution could improve its connectivity to other systems."

"The product needs improvement regarding the confidentiality of the domain information for the key administrator."

"As the product is very new, some minor features are still missing, but everything is there to handle day-to-day process modeling."

Pricing and Cost Advice

"It is reasonable and affordable. If you consider the tasks that we can get done using this, the pricing is reasonable and affordable."

"We have seen ROI in terms of cost and time with a couple of our projects."

"We have a few licenses. They cost roughly $10,000 each."

"The cost of Automation Anywhere is high in Turkey due to the weak economy."

"I find the license pricing to be competitive and reflective of the pricing models throughout the RPA space, and I believe there is a lot of value in continuing to maintain the free community edition platform."

"We have reduced our headcount, approximately 200 to 300 employees, by eliminating manual, repetitive work. It provides profit to the business."

"It's very good in terms of cost and pricing."

"We save approximately 10,000 hours per year."

More Automation Anywhere pricing and cost advice

"Pricing will differ between enterprises based on needs such as customization, but the company uses a standardized algorithm for determining this."

"Scalability-wise, it is an expensive product."
