AK
Intern at a manufacturing company with 10,001+ employees
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…

Process automation in manufacturing and accounting benefits from session identification features
I haven't found any significant pitfalls, but one area for improvement could be the selection process when working with multiple applications. It would be helpful to highlight a specific application instead of providing options for all applications. This change could help me avoid confusion, especially if applications have similar names or when different pages of the same application are in use.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"Dashboard is good and the product doesn't require coding."
"Automation Hero has all of that as an inbuilt feature, it's very user-friendly and doesn't require a lot of manual work."
"IQ Bot's most valuable feature is data migration, including Word format and legacy document templates."
"We have seen a return on investment in less than a year using IQ Bot."
"Extracting information from 500,000 invoices manually is difficult. IQ Bot automates the task and helps us summarize the data and provide it to the auditors."
"The single platform capabilities are most valuable. I don't need to go to another third-party such as Blue Prism or UiPath. They have all these other bolt-on solutions. It is a part of the Automation Anywhere platform. It is all integrated."
"IQ Bot has helped my organization transform digital documents and files into information to be processed."
"Good templates means that all basics are pre-defined."
"One of the issues we have is being able to detect a variety of texts or dates that are written differently depending on the invoice, so character recognition, OCR, is a very good feature."
"The way that the learning combines with the OCR is the solution's most valuable aspect."
 

Cons

"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%."
"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."
"The log scripts can only be written in Python, there is no compatible language."
"The percentage of accuracy is very low. If you are uploading 100 documents, the IQ Bot accepts only 60 documents; 40% or 30% of documents go to the validation queue."
"The solution's predictive model can be improved in terms of accuracy."
"Better customization in terms of mapping would be an improvement."
"IQ Bot doesn't accept or manage unstructured documents properly."
"I know that Automation Anywhere just said that IQ Bot 11 and higher versions are ready to extract the documents with less than 300 DPI, however, this is not true. I never could work with documents with less than 300 DPI."
"Migrating from the previous version to the current version is a little tricky."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

Information not available
"There are more affordable solutions than this."
"There are others like Automation Anywhere offering similar kinds of bots for less. Most of the platforms are the same, and most of the features are the same, but not the licensing cost."
"The solution’s hardware cost is high."
"IQ Bot's pricing is reasonable compared to other solutions but should be decreased further."
"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."
"It is based on the stages and on a yearly basis."
"The package that includes Automation Anywhere and IQ Bot starts at $10,000 USD."
