Venkat Sivaprakash - PeerSpot reviewer
Management Consultant at Accenture
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.

Has saved us hundreds of hours by automating manual credit card processing and improving payment security
I have not noticed any issues so far with Boost Intercept. We have additional automation needs that we are looking for outside of this virtual credit card process that they are looking into for us. I do not see any red flags at this point; they have been really good on this virtual credit card piece and possibly can help us solution other things. We are looking to have a smoother process, an automated process for the other customers that are not using virtual, who are our end users making payments by credit card. That is still a manual process for us. We still have to take the information and enter it in the system and process it on the spot. We are looking for some automation there where we can maybe have a link or something, and that way Boost Intercept can process these payments for us as well.

Sr Business Application Developer On Zoho Platform. at Tech Worriors
Unified accounting and inventory have empowered seamless projects and detailed financial insights
The most valuable features and capabilities of Zoho Books I have found include vendor management, customer management, accounting, invoicing, and inventory. Within Zoho Books, you can handle both accounting and inventory, covering all areas like purchase and sales. Almost all features are available, including bank reconciliation. Invoicing is also included in the accounting features. The sales section includes quotation, sales order, invoicing, packing, shipments, delivery note, delivery challans, invoicing, and payment received. The purchase section includes purchase orders, purchase received (GRN), bill, supplier invoices, and advance payment. All these features are available. You can communicate and send to the customers using it. It enables managing different statuses, scheduling recurring invoices, and customers can pay through direct online payment using Zoho Books direct invoices. Customers can log into their portal and see their own invoices.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"With Agentic capability, you can actually do those things; it has memory, it has access to tools, and it can do the job on our behalf as opposed to just telling us what to do."
"We automated one process that was running with 109 people and reduced it down to 69 with automation."
"The feature we found to be the most valuable is the documentation automation as it allows us to focus on the actual important piece of building automation instead of tracking some of the repugnant documentation that goes along with building automation."
"Now they have a nice tool that is mostly stable with most of the features I could want being covered in the functionality of the product."
"Automation Anywhere is a good platform with extensive capabilities that has innovated and kept their platform more centered and relevant in the market by introducing AI and agentic capabilities."
"IQ Bot is something which is going to disrupt the market in the future. We... are particularly impressed with the evolution of IQ Bot and the kind of disruption it is bringing to the OCR space."
"Of the bots which work, they have automated three of the most time consuming tasks and completely freed up one person to do real work."
"Automation Anywhere has transformed the financial, healthcare, and automobile sectors to a great extent by automating backend office work."
"The impact has been that it increased our onboarding of vendors to the program, enabling us to grow tremendously."
"Their customer service is excellent. The automation streamlines the process for supplier success cards."
"As far as credit card processors or third-party credit card payment issuers go, they are fairly easy to work with. People we work with tend to be responsive when we have concerns or questions."
"I just like that Boost is hands-off. That's the biggest thing for me."
"The Boost Intercept service is responsive and provides excellent on-the-spot communication, invaluable for addressing my numerous questions."
"Since we have started with it, we have saved over 400 hours of human intervention and human processing."
"The value we get from Boost is that we don't need to run credit cards on our network. They consolidate the cash and give it to us."
"With Zoho Books, I have found the most valuable features that we don't need any reports because the reports get already generated based on the sales and purchases."
"The major benefit I've seen from Zoho Books is its positive impact on saving time around CRM and projects, CRM, bookkeeping, and projects as that works very efficiently."
"I have worked with multiple clients for Zoho Books, and they are completely satisfied with the implementation and customization automation we did."
"Almost all the features are there, and they have different plans with lots of features."
"Having used eight accounting software systems, I consider this one among my favorites."
 

Cons

"AA should include more features in the mobile app, such as monitoring and debugging bots."
"It would be great if they provide installation documents that are easier to understand, place more focus on capturing the fields, and most importantly, concentrate more on the OCR capability."
"We have had issues with stability in the past, and there should be a function that helps you to find out what is wrong with your environment that is causing the automation to fail."
"I would like to leverage the AI component without the requirement to know a coding language, such as Python."
"Since Automation Anywhere's Japan office was only recently opened, it seems the support has not been as good as support for other package applications."
"Several competing products now offer superior functionality compared to Automation Anywhere's current capabilities."
"When we try to process structured documents but with some little pen marks, improper partitions, or faded documents, IQ Bot fails to extract data properly out of them."
"Vertical connecting lines would be appropriate within the code, and a collapse/expand feature for code blocks would be ideal."
"They have pretty much accommodated every special request I have had. The only thing that I can think of improving is reverse prospecting."
"It would be nice if Boost had a portal where you could log in and see the transactions. I'm not sure if they don't have one, but I suggest getting one."
"The pricing, in some instances, is an area for improvement."
"If it was possible to have our payments go through Boost but have Boost initiate something like ACH payments, that would be great."
"Boost could add a dashboard to show who's paying us and when. We could see if there's an issue with payments and correct it. Currently, we need to wait for the file to come in or the customer to tell us about the issue."
"In terms of improvement, there are two things which they are going to improve, but they have dedicated products for them."
"They can improve their approval process and access matrix in Zoho Books."
"I do not have any challenges within Zoho Books, but sometimes if you want to change the currencies for customers, that can be a bit tricky, especially if you want to issue different invoices in different currencies, maybe even for the same customer, that's the only thing."
"The user interface of Zoho Books is frustrating when compared to QuickBooks or other alternatives."
"Areas of Zoho Books that could be improved or enhanced include the requirements for data size, as sometimes there is too much data."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The initial setup and licensing fees are high, and although it saves costs in the long run, reaching the break-even point can take at least six months."
"On average, a bot runner in Automation Anywhere can cost $5,000, while in Microsoft Power Automate, you can get most of the same functionality for $100."
"It's the best RPA tool, but the pricing could be improved."
"In terms of pricing, this is a good product."
"No one is balking at the cost. They are market rates and will change, but no one is saying, "That is ridiculous or impossible." They are saying, "Show me the ROI and prove that the cost is accurate.""
"The cost is anywhere between $10,000 and $100,000."
"The cloud-based version comes at an increased cost, although our clients are happy with the new features and have not complained about the pricing."
"The setup and licensing cost is affordable, and it is not exaggerated like UiPath."
"We do not pay anything. As a supplier, we are receiving our payments through Boost. There is no fee for us to opt into it. The only fee is the credit card fee."
"The pricing is generally good, although we encountered a pricing dilemma with one customer."
"The pricing has been negotiable. It is not just one price. We are able to negotiate the price, which is great."
