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

"The management works well."
"Our onboarding process was pretty good. We got access to all software that we needed to learn and utilize. The Automation Anywhere University is really good. In our business, the person who was onboarding us helped us to understand how to create a center of excellence and what verticals we needed to improve. So, the support was there. We are gradually becoming a center of excellence ourselves."
"I found that the REST API commands are very useful and easy to use."
"Since it has capabilities to integrate with third-party applications easily, it makes the life of an automation engineer very easy."
"Since it is based on the cloud, it is a highly scalable product. It is easy to deploy, has a very good UI, and the bots can be easily deployed with no issues."
"The Automation Anywhere University is a good tool. It goes topic-by-topic with real-time examples."
"We are using it to backfill a lot of our resources who are retiring, so we are hiring less people as we go."
"The marketing automation software provides easy workflow creation and management."
"We use it a lot for creating workflows to transfer materials between plants, which is a signature part of what we do."
 

Cons

"When it comes to reading email, this solution is unstable and improvements need to be made."

"The product needs improvements in dealing with remote servers and providing more APIs that will be used with other systems."
"The GUI can be improved by making it more user-friendly."
"In Mexico, where our company is based, we face issues regarding obtaining new licenses, as this has to be done through a third-party company."

Pricing and Cost Advice
