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.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"We use IQ Bot for invoice processing. It can be any type of document. It could be a PDF or any sort of document. It will convert those PDFs into CSV files, which is a structured format. It takes it from an unstructured to structured format. That is why we use IQ Bot."
"This solution is easy to use and easy to learn compared to Blue Prism, UiPath, and others."
"As a tool, IQ Bot is easy to use, powerful, and very competitive compared to others."
"It is one of the popular RPA vendors offering powerful & user-friendly RPA capabilities to automate any complex tasks. It is one of the "Revolutionary Technology" that changes the way the enterprise operates. This tool combines conventional RPA with intellectual elements like natural language understanding and reading any unstructured data."
"We have leveraged automation to increase economies of scale and value-added work while reducing operating costs."
"Overall, I would rate Automation Anywhere a nine out of ten."
"Even as we were getting into RPA for the first time, I found it easy to understand this tool."
"AA has good coverage in terms of out-of-the-box functionality for bot development and management."
"The biggest benefit of using the product is identifying the issues, enabling a more flexible working method."
 

Cons

"Right now, we are using a VM with Automation Anywhere installed inside it, but it would be nice if the solution could be used on macOS."
"IQ Bot is pretty good, but we can only run a maximum 150 documents."
"We have a lot of use cases that depend on certain Java applets, and currently we're not able to leverage the Object Cloning that would speed up our automation designing. So we have to revert to more image recognition-type of designing, and it just takes a long time to get that bot built."
"In Automation Anywhere, the logging process is manual. We have to manually log each instance where the bot fails or the progress of a task. Automating this through a new feature would help developers simplify their development process."
"There should be a meeting between the Automation Anywhere team and the end-users to understand whether the process can be made to work on the first attempt."
"The automated regression testing could be better. I need to build my own testing suite, and I know other tools have built-in testing suites. That is an area that's very weak in this platform."
"One day, there will be a message box saying that the application is down or not available on a weekend. The instructions will say read the information and click, "Okay." But a bot doesn't understand the instructions because it is not the IQ system."
"Now, it is a big complex to download the product and install it, then again to install the patches. So, it takes a lot of time to download it."
"The platform's initial setup process could be better."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"I do not know the price, but I am told that it is cheaper than UiPath."
"Based on what I've heard, it's costly, but I don't know much about its pricing."
"It is expensive. Automation Anywhere has reduced the price slightly, as we have grown. However, the price is still excessive enough that we are engaged in PoCs on other tools."
"Annual licensing costs would be about $100,000."
"Our advice is that anybody interested in this product should negotiate product bundles in order to reduce the cost of installation and setup."
"We have a few licenses. They cost roughly $10,000 each."
"It is reasonable and affordable. If you consider the tasks that we can get done using this, the pricing is reasonable and affordable."
"I am not responsible for the pricing part, but I know the pricing is competitive compared to other tools."
