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.

OCR Developer at a tech vendor with 10,001+ employees
A stable and scalable smart content acquisition and data classification solution with a useful inject feature
I would advise potential users that Ephesoft Transact is an easy tool to handle. The UI isn't complex, and even if everything isn't handled at the UI level, they can work with the script. You can also handle issues with scripts. I believe Ephesoft Transact is one of the best tools because the UI is an easy one. The UI-level design makes it easy to handle the development and the superior Ephesoft support system. They will give you quick support to resolve issues and provide training materials. They will train the developer, and after training the developers, they will also support them. That's a good good thing that I saw. Initially, when I joined this project, I also had less knowledge. But with the help of this support system and the training material, I now have superior knowledge. On a scale from one to ten, I would give Ephesoft Transact a nine.

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

"The insights provided by the dashboard are excellent."
"The recorders are highly beneficial when automating web scraping or web automation tasks."
"Automate Anywhere can just mimic what a human does."
"Because while the platform is feature-rich and easy to use, it is the skill of the coder that determines how well the platform is leveraged."
"Automation Anywhere has a drag-and-drop feature eliminating the need for extensive coding."
"We are using it for scripting, and it is end user based with screen captures. It is a bit easier to use than any of the other tools out there."
"Automation Anywhere's OCR functionality stands out as the most valuable feature for us, as it allows us to swiftly extract data for repetitive tasks, significantly boosting our efficiency."
"At the most granular level, automating people's daily tasks has been helpful by freeing them up to do higher value-add activities, which is definitely beneficial."
"I have found the keyword extraction to be helpful."
"I believe Ephesoft Transact is one of the best tools because the UI is an easy one."
"Transact's best feature is its ease of customization."
"I like the inject feature. With desktop injects, we're doing all these things and extracting these things. Its stable, scalable, and technical support is 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."
"You can automate browsing tasks without needing a server connection. The platform provides its browser, allowing you to run anything inside it."
"The product saves time and resources."
"We use Kofax effectively and I'm happy with it."
"The flexibility to use already-developed components is really good. You can use it for Excel-related operations and other things."
"Kofax RPA's best feature is its high success percentage in picking up information from documents, especially where the DPI is really low."
"The tool's most valuable feature is web browser automation, which makes it easy to interact with any website. We can assemble a robot in a few hours with web automation, depending on its complexity."
"It is stable and scalable."
 

Cons

"In the current organization, we had trouble initially because I think the documentation and support could be better than what it is now."
"Enhancing the support tiers might be beneficial, and pricing has been a primary challenge, with a need for cheaper options and more tiered support."
"The availability of material in terms of more technical documentation could be improved, particularly in-depth information about how things can be done."
"It still uses old, deprecated Microsoft components that have an end date."
"As a developer or user, I feel that the performance of the overall package could be made a little better or reliable. For example, if I'm opening up a heavy Excel file, which is uploaded in some shared drive over the net, and I have my box coded to open that Excel to do some work or formatting on it, and depending on the network load and the size of the file, this client version while trying to access that file becomes unstable at times. It goes into the hang position until a human being comes in, ends the task, and restarts it. Until this happens, it does not respond."
"I would like to have the ability to schedule bots by whichever one is available."
"Going on-cloud comes with security hiccups and concerns."
"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."
"Their email service and extraction could be better. We get the input via email, and these emails contain different types of documents like Excel, PDF, or they may contain different content in the email body."
"Transact could be improved by removing Java and making its pricing more accessible for smaller customers."
"It's not easy to train."
"Their email service and extraction could be better. We get the input via email, and these emails contain different types of documents like Excel, PDF, or they may contain different content in the email body. Due to this variation, sometimes the email service crashes, and emails aren't redirected to Ephesoft Transact. Ephesoft has provided us with new hotfixes. Whatever flaws we found in the 2019.2 version, they have already updated it in the new version, 20.1.05, and it's already released. Drawbacks like not capturing the handwritten fields are now sorted."
"The product needs more AI capabilities."
"RPA technology is constantly changing, and sometimes Kofax lags behind."
"The scalability has room for improvement."
"Kofax RPA needs to improve integration with SAP and Microsoft. The professional services offered by the tool's team is below par. Its licensing needs to be more modular."
"This product has room for improvement in support of aviation. The interface could be improved in the next release."
"There is really nothing special about the capabilities of this product."
"Automation with the latest websites is not effective. The support of newer websites developed using new technologies would improve this solution."
"The product has some constraints and performance issues."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The setup and licensing cost is affordable, and it is not exaggerated like UiPath."
"I don't deal have cost specifics but I can say it is a tool that provides value for the money."
"Despite being less expensive than UiPath, Automation Anywhere remains cost-prohibitive for many small and medium-sized businesses."
"The solution is quite expensive. Not every organization can consider this option."
"We purchase on a bot basis. Our costs are approximately $5,000."
"The ROI is really good. We have saved time and money."
"I would rate the price of Automation Anywhere a six out of ten, with ten being the most expensive."
"It's cheaper than other similar solutions."
"Initially, when I got a licensed copy of Ephesoft Transact, it was for one year. After one year, we had to send an email to the Ephesoft team informing them that our license was going to expire. They updated it and provided one license in our file, and we had to update and install the folder. They have versions for one year and lifelong as well."
"Transact's pricing could be better for smaller customers."
"Price is not a problem, because they are a competitor and we have a special rate."
"Kofax's prices are pretty reasonable."
"There is a standard license needed to use Kofax RPA and the price is reasonable."
"Kofax RPA's licensing costs are yearly and expensive."
"I give the price of the solution a six out of ten."
"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."
"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)."
"Kofax RPA is moderately priced but expensive in comparison to UiPath and Power Automate."
