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.

Good dashboard with easy tracking feature; lacks sufficient templates
Our use case of this product is for invoice processing. We tested it on a small project to get a comparison with UiPath. I am a user of this product and an intern in the company.  It's great that the solution doesn't require coding. If you input an invoice, it reads all the fields automatically…

Valuable connectivity and coherent solutions simplify maintenance but require cost adjustments for industry-based needs
There are areas of improvement, especially in having industry-based solutions that we could easily tap on. It would help reduce the time spent on feeding information and creating outputs. More flexibility and specific models for specific purposes would be beneficial. Additionally, pricing is a concern as IQ Bot is considered costly.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"They can build an end-to-end solution with Automation Anywhere."
"RPA platform with a good accuracy rate, variable management, and OCR feature. It has a straightforward setup."
"I like web automation and SAP application automation."
"Automation Anywhere has significantly helped us achieve our automation goals, mainly by reducing costs, which alleviates organizational burdens."
"The recorders are highly beneficial when automating web scraping or web automation tasks."
"By automating those processes we achieved high ROI, great customer satisfaction, better STP, reduced manual work, reduced processing time, high accuracy, and 24/7 working capacity with the AA bots."
"The return on investment we see from Automation Anywhere is significant; particularly, the FTE savings represent a big return."
"Comparing Automation Anywhere with other tools for RPA, in my opinion, it is better because it is easier to use for both the final user and the developer."
"Automation Hero has all of that as an inbuilt feature, it's very user-friendly and doesn't require a lot of manual work."
"Dashboard is good and the product doesn't require coding."
"The flexibility to deploy based on the different types is the most valuable. We can deploy pieces of the program directly over the fields. We can also directly connect with databases. We can modify it and make different connections with the database. We are also able to programmably modify the fields and change the presentation and values or evaluate a list of values. We can change the values on the fly. It is very flexible and very easy to use and learn. It is also very simple."
"The initial setup was satisfactory."
"In my experience, the product is very stable, and it works well with systems like JDE and Mainframes."
"This tool automates it all and things are processed more accurately and quickly."
"IQ Bot is a useful and easy-to-use tool."
"The ability to train itself is a good, valuable feature. It is one of the most stable RPA products at present. Installation is easy for IQ Bot, and they provide good technical support."
"PDF classification and basic data extraction are useful features."
"The product is easy to use and easy to deploy."
 

Cons

"Queues are great but need improvement. They are helpful because most of the automations are transaction-based."
"It takes a lot of time to deploy, and sometimes it fails after a timeout."
"The product's technical support could use improvement."
"We had had issues with scalability. Recently, we had a use case which we were working on, but we could not do it because Automation Anywhere could not connect to the system."
"On the user side, we have seen issues with user training."
"In the debugging mode, it writes all the logs to text files, but it doesn't ever clean them up."
"There is an issue with security where users can see the values in the credential vault."
"We're in a digital world where everything's evolving. AI is coming out, so just looking at keeping moving, introducing new innovations into the product, nothing specific. The Automation Anywhere teams seem to know what the customers want."
"Lacks sufficient keywords and templates."
"I wouldn't say the product is totally scalable or 100% reliable. I'm not sure that an organization should depend on this tool 100%."
"Pricing is a significant concern as IQ Bot is costly. The competition, particularly with hyperscalers like Azure and AWS, offers alternatives at one-tenth of the cost."
"The solution requires 32GB RAM."
"It should have more artificial intelligence to capture information from a document. Currently, our clients are preparing invoices manually. They are not digital, so we need to scan all the documents, but we are facing issues in capturing all the information through IQ Bot. Therefore, we have to use other tools to capture the information, and then we use IQ Bot to process all the information. They need to improve the artificial intelligence for document scanning."
"It would be helpful if the IQ Bot OCR could be integrated with third-party solutions like FlexiCapture."
"The process of manually correcting the data in the validation queue that IQ Bot failed to extract should be automated."
"IQ Bot needs to scale up further because many other industry products that are capable of capturing handwritten information are doing much better. So, it would be better if IQ Bot spent more time on handwritten data extraction."
"The price of IQ Bot, packaged with Automation Anywhere, is too expensive for some companies and they will not use it."
"If even a small change is made to a PDF format, IQ Bot may fail to read it and require me to go back and create a new learning instance."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"We are currently negotiating a contract. Depending upon that, we will definitely look at increasing usage."
"It is reasonable, but it can always be a little bit cheaper."
"It is affordable for us."
"The pricing of AA is similar to UiPath."
"It's very good in terms of cost and pricing."
"We paid separately for the Runner and Creater components. The final cost depends on the structure of your environment."
"It's fine. However, I'm concerned with the credits in terms of the pricing for the AI models. It is understandable that the new ones are more expensive, but the base models, after doing the pricing conversion, cost about four to ten times as much as paying directly."
"Price is where I'm least satisfied. Other vendors are more willing to offer discounts."
Information not available
"Pricing is highly confidential because it is something that can be negotiated."
"Pricing for IQ Bot isn't good because if you're paying a lot and you're still getting some problems from it, then you can't give it a good rating. You have to compare how much you're taking out of your pocket with what you're getting from the solution. For example, I have a client paying $30 or $40 for the solution, but sometimes, he's still getting exceptions or errors from it. The cost of IQ Bot is too high, so people are hesitant to purchase the license for it. On a scale of one to five, with one being expensive, and five being affordable, I'm giving IQ Bot pricing a one."
"It's expensive."
"The licensing is on a yearly basis, and I am happy with the pricing."
"The price of IQ Bot could improve by being less expensive."
"IQ Bot is expensive compared to other solutions."
"It has an average cost."
"The pricing is reasonable."
