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.

Enabled us to consolidate workflows and reduce time spent searching for transactions
We have consolidated the workflow and have certain elements and functionalities developed in the new system so that my agents who are using the application don't have to do manual tasks searching for mail. So, we've consolidated and arranged some alerts and have done some segregation. The user is benefited, and the time spent on searching a transaction is reduced.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The Bot Store is an online library where anybody can find variously developed, production-ready bots."
"It's really easy to use. We have a number of people at our firm who are now certified RPA developers that had no development background. They did that just by the online training in some cases. In some cases, it was the online training, as well as a three day class that we brought in-house and had taught."
"I like the diversity. Every year, maybe even every six months, new modules are introduced to the program, and module enhancements are added to the toolbox to make automating various applications or situations easier."
"Automation Co-Pilot helped increase productivity."
"We have multiple bots running. It saves time. If manual invoice processing in SAP takes two to three hours on a daily basis, a bot can do the same job in half an hour. We are saving more than 70% of the time."
"I don't think one feature is more valuable than any other. In my opinion, the value is in the totality of the platform. It is easy to use for our developers with a well laid out UI and many canned tools. The Control Room is very easy to navigate and mostly intuitive to use."
"I am confident that we are saving several million dollars as a result."
"The application replaced about three employees for the OFAC verification processes, thus eliminating the need to hire more people for those tasks."
"The most valuable features of Newgen OmniFlow are the user interface, the low-code no-code designer tools, and the integration models are important."
"The integration capabilities of Newgen OmniFlow are excellent due to its ready APIs, enabling easy API creation for consumption across different systems."
"The most valuable feature is the flexibility in using it."
"They are a good team that is proactive, and they are trying to accommodate all of our requirements."
"The most valuable feature for us is the Omnicon. That made sense for us because our company is now able to capture information from documents."
"The UI is easy. It's not very code based, so you can make certain changes on your end."
"It is working fine so far. I haven't heard anything bad about it from the applications team that is using it, so I assume that it is doing okay."
"Newgen will structure the system based on all the requirements of the business. We can design the forms as complex forms or make our own versions to fix what's wrong."
 

Cons

"There should be more available Data Analytics and more AI Front and Deep Learn concepts."
"The error handling command on this solution still needs improvement, especially when compared to other platforms that are doing very well."
"Automation Anywhere is headed in the right direction but they still have a good way to go."
"The focus on usability and user experience is bang on. Addressing several personas and making it easy for every persona to adopt and embrace is the spot on focus. That's an area that has a lot more room to improve. In the absence of that, the skills and expertise in the industry are going to struggle and if you need broader adoption, which has maximum potential, the persona-based user experience is a focus and I'd say Automation Anywhere is already working on."
"Applications like Microsoft Power Automate do have zero-code systems. I've not done much research on Automtin Anywhere in comparison. However, if Automation Anywhere could also have something of that sort, that would be a game changer."
"I think it is a little bit of an ongoing struggle, because we don't deal with the infrastructure. We have a separate infrastructure team that sorts all that out. So, sometimes there are communication issues just trying to get our internal IT team onboard to run through the installs and that sort of thing. But, definitely with the new cloud version coming onboard, we'll be looking toward going to that. Hopefully it'll resolve some of that friction that comes about through the install process and complexity."
"The product should improve on Voice Recognition and IoT pretty soon, as this is the next big thing in and I would like to see this upgraded in the next release."
"Many clients use the Citrix environment but AA has very low functionality to automate a Citrix environment."
"Newgen OmniFlow could improve by having more out-of-the-box integration modules. It would be beneficial to have an analytics model that is not currently present."
"Improvement is needed in supporting the partner ecosystem."
"We had consistent issues of Newgen OmniFlow crashing. It's not compatible with bounce browsers like Chrome."
"In terms of stability, like every product it has its issues."
"The development teams should be more agile and they need to have more team members."
"At the system level, I would like to see things be much more flexible, especially for different document templates and introducing changes."
"I would like to see more automated analytics built into the solution."
"There should be some reporting and dashboarding capabilities. I don't see such capabilities built into it. Sometimes, the leadership wants to understand the business cases that we want to automate. We face a lot of challenges to justify why we are using Newgen, and we need a way to present that to the leadership. If there is something out of the box and if we can get meaningful dashboards and reporting capabilities, it would be helpful."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The licensing cost could be improved. It costs a lot. At the very least, the developer licenses and the control panels should be made free to enterprises, and the production environment licensed."
"The pricing is reasonable and one can achieve ROI faster when compared to other tools."
"In most of the cases, the product value is very good. If the infrastructure, implementation, and framework are good, then generally, the client can get a good return on investment."
"They're very flexible around pricing and licensing."
"It is expensive. I would rate Automation Anywhere an eight out of ten in terms of pricing."
"Licensing for Automation Anywhere (AA) is paid on a yearly basis. Out of all the RPA tools, it has the most value for money, e.g. what you pay is what you get."
"Their licensing processes are in par with most industry standards."
"I don't know exactly what the pricing schemes are for the product as this type of negotiation is not my responsibility, but I think the basic pricing comes to $15,000."
"Overall, this solution is very cost effective when compared to other solutions in the market."
"The price of Newgen OmniFlow is priced reasonably."
"The on-prem solution is affordable. The cloud solution is more expensive. There are no additional costs to the standard licensing fees."
"Its price is a bit on the high side, but that's okay. From a company perspective, it is reasonable."
