Nadeem K.

Rpa Developer at a consultancy with 11-50 employees

Automation has freed teams from repetitive finance and supply tasks and supports global operations

In the current organization, we had trouble initially because I think the documentation and support could be better than what it is now. This is one difference between Automation Anywhere and other RPA tools such as UiPath. In UiPath, if you have an issue, you go to the UiPath website and search for it, and you get lots of help materials. In Automation Anywhere, you do not get exactly what you are looking for. You get a very large number of results when you search for something, and from this large result set, you have to filter out what you need, or only partial information will be available. User handbooks are available for each product. In that regard, I would say Automation Anywhere is lagging compared to other RPA tools. It is difficult to get hold of their customer support team. I want to clarify that it is not a matter of us building logic on Automation Anywhere and it failing. When it is a product-related issue, they have to give us support because we only know how to develop within Automation Anywhere. We do not know how to fix Automation Anywhere itself. Whenever we have an issue, trying to get in touch with them always takes three to four business days.

Senior Rpa Consultant at a computer software company with 51-200 employees

Automation has streamlined client data extraction and has improved reporting for business decisions

I work as a developer, and my manager is responsible for the research and analytics for the project with the client and business users. I am satisfied with BotFarm. I would rate my experience with BotFarm an eight out of ten. I do not see any room for improvement for BotFarm. I am using AI tools such as Amazon, Microsoft Azure, and ChatGPT. I am not using AI-powered bots in BotFarm. I am a partner with Automation Anywhere.

Automates browsing tasks without needing a server connection

I have worked with Microsoft Power Platform and UiPath. Kofax RPA offers a comprehensive solution with built-in capabilities for executing tasks like running Excel files and web automation without additional servers. They provide their browsers and extensions. For functions such as OCR, image processing, and data extraction, Kofax has built-in features powered by their engine, eliminating the need for subscriptions to external technologies like Microsoft Cognitive Services or Google Search. One of Kofax RPA's strongest features is its on-premise solution, which is particularly beneficial for organizations operating in regions with data regulations, such as the UAE.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"Features such as MetaBot and IQ Bot are very advanced and capable as compared to reading PDFs using OCR."

"It is very easy for anybody to learn."

"With Automation Anywhere, what used to take us two days now takes us twenty minutes."

"The MetaBot is a very good feature that allows me to do things that were not available in earlier versions."

"The automation of data entry is the most valuable feature for us."

"AA control room is one central system to manage our tasks. We found it excellent to administrate. It was used for easy scheduling of process/task in Remote desktop. This helped to avoid manual intervention to trigger tasks."

"Among the most valuable features that we've been able to utilize are the screen scraping and object cloning."

"Document Automation plays a very good role for document processing."

More Automation Anywhere pros

"The best aspect is the UI, as it is very user-friendly."

"The solution is great to automate any repetitive tasks, which you might do on a daily basis."

"The most valuable features of this solution are the Excel automation and support for SharePoint."

"Overall, this is a pretty good product and nobody else in the market is providing RPA at this level."

"The solution has been very user-friendly."

"BotFarm by Automation Anywhere is great for building bots."

"Now, we have standardized responses, and our customers are getting better, error-free, and on-time responses."

"The solution has a lot of great features inside of it that clients can take advantage of."

More BotFarm pros

"Kofax RPA's best feature is its high success percentage in picking up information from documents, especially where the DPI is really low."

"This is a stable platform and we did not encounter any big problems."

"It's a good product."

"The drag and drop functionality is quite good."

"The ability to script information from websites is most valuable. It also seems to be fairly robust and reasonably easy to manage on a server-based deployment. We have a number of robots operating on the central server."

"The best part of Kofax is that they have a whole concept; it's one product, but also has extra elements that can be integrated, and if you take the whole package with the extra products you can digitize it using RPA and also by using the other products they provide."

"If you don't have a computer science background, you can easily use Tungsten RPA because this is a low-code platform and it is easier than other RPA tools."

"Kofax RPA has provided our organization with a lot of savings in many different areas and we have improvements in data quality."

More Tungsten RPA pros

Cons

"They need to make the AA stable across all browsers and I hope to see it fixed in the next version."

"The bot insides should come in the same package versus having it as a different bundle by itself. If we could have this product come with all the inside solutions altogether, that would help."

"They have incorporated many latest technologies, such as AI, and there is always scope to improve the processes and have more stability."

"One of the important drawbacks of Automation Anywhere is that it needs to be able to show the automated process as a single flowchart."

"The initial setup for the program was not straightforward. It was definitely complex."

"We have had some quirkiness happen when integrating the Automation Anywhere with other solutions, such as weird Excel issues or temperamental legacy system issues."

"When we are moving from one version to another version, it's very difficult because most of the features stop working."

"The goal of any automation is to provide efficiencies... I would like a default feature where each bot gives us data on all the benefits it provides from its process."

More Automation Anywhere cons

"The image processing capabilities definitely need to be improved."

"BotFarm newer version has been difficult to install, we have been in contact with the support on this matter."

"I would definitely be wanting to see OCR features for improving the solution."

"Overall the support and customer support areas need to be improved."

"Scalability is an area of improvement. We can increase the main features for our project but when we reached out to our personnel and asked whether Bot can be expanded, we were told "You cannot scale this Bot."

"We do have some troubles with the internal software commands, but we have been troubleshooting this bug to fix it."

"The solution automation is incapable of interacting with our Pega software application development. It is based on the nested table concept and it is unable to read these tables. Several projects have been put on hold because of that."

"The only challenge that we have faced with BotFarm is that there is no continuous deployment."

More BotFarm cons

"Kofax RPA could improve web-based automation and there should be a choice of what browser we can use, such as Google Chrome, instead of an inbuilt browser from Kofax RPA. Additionally, Kofax RPA is missing an orchestrator that other solutions have, such as UiPath."

"For additional features, I'd like to see a recording function and a more simple interface."

"We are on version 10.6, and the current version seems to be 11. Kofax is cycling the capabilities of the product very quickly. One of the difficulties has been to actually keep up with the capabilities as they've evolved. On the one hand, it is good that the product is getting better, but on the other hand, it is difficult to implement the best way with a product that is evolving constantly."

"There is really nothing special about the capabilities of this product."

"Kofax RPA's UI could be more user-friendly."

"There have been a lot of issues we have had that have taken weeks, if not months to fix and the support is not satisfactory."

"The product could be improved if they would use AI integrated robots."

"Automating systems based on Citrix, where using AI or OCR-based capture of a screen, presents challenges."

More Tungsten RPA cons

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The price is very reasonable."

"The licensing fees are approximately $10,000 USD for between five and ten users."

"The Automation Anywhere license is affordable and not complex."

"It is reasonable and affordable. If you consider the tasks that we can get done using this, the pricing is reasonable and affordable."

"Price is where I'm least satisfied. Other vendors are more willing to offer discounts."

"The solution's pricing is pretty decent."

"Complaints are generally about the cost of IQ Bot, which is higher than its competitors. The base model’s pricing is comparable to other platforms with attended, unattended, and IDP capabilities as well."

"Automation Anywhere is expensive."

More Automation Anywhere pricing and cost advice

"Its price is quite high as compared to other solutions, but it has a lot of features and good stability. They should reduce its price."

"There is a license for this solution and it is on an annual basis. I am satisfied with the price."

"An unattended bot license costs around $5,000, whereas an attended bot license costs roughly $1,500."

"Pricing for this solution can be better."

"The license of this solution is on an annual basis. The price is fair. However, what we did initially was a POC, but now we are looking at moving from a POC to expanding it out further. I would appreciate some kind of discount."

"Our licensing costs are approximately $3,000 USD annually."

"The solution prices are expensive. It would be more beneficial for customers to lower the pricing."

"The pricing is fair."

More BotFarm pricing and cost advice

"I don't have complete insight at this point in time, but I would guess that Kofax is a lot less expensive than Automation Anywhere. I would expect its license to be on a yearly basis."

"There is a standard license needed to use Kofax RPA and the price is reasonable."

"The pricing model for automation solutions like Automation Anywhere, UiPath, and Microsoft Power Platform is subscription-based, where costs are calculated based on factors such as the number of hours used and the scale of automation required.......With Kofax, you purchase a license upfront, and that's all you need. You can create as many automation workflows as you require without additional costs for individual use cases."

"The cost depends on the number of licenses and the number of RPAs."

"The normal price for an on-premises license is €50,000. That's the price for one robot license. You can have more than one robot license but only one can be run at any one time. I believe the cost of adding a second robot is around €14,000."

"Price is not a problem, because they are a competitor and we have a special rate."

"Kofax RPA's licensing costs are yearly and expensive."

"Its pricing is reasonable given the product capabilities. Kofax has a wide range of products, and it can sometimes be confusing to understand which capabilities come with which product set. One of the key facets that we've been looking into recently is cognitive document recognition that was a core pile of some of their other technologies such as Kofax transformation modules (KTM)."
