Featured Reviews

Venkat Sivaprakash

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.

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

"Our developers love it. It is fairly simple to use. Sometimes, we are able to even bring people on fairly quickly, like interns, and have them use the software. Then, we are able to see some real benefit out of it fairly quickly."

"What I appreciate the most about Automation Anywhere is how easy it is to use."

"We work in the business process outsourcing arena, it has improved our organization mainly around freeing up people to do other things and that can be quite large numbers, in the high tens, even hundreds of people that can be freed up to do other work."

"Automation Anywhere has positively impacted my organization by providing a lot of hours and dollars saved for many business teams across the company, and it helps spark ideas for people to look at their own business processes and learn how to automate them from end to end."

"Just for this use case, we had around 300 tickets coming in every month. We went live last month and the tickets went down to around 80 as of August 20th. While it might touch around 100, over a period of around six months it will become zero because we have not removed all the legacy data. We are just doing it from the go date of when we went live. The target is that it will be zero after three months. So, it's working well."

"Many tasks take a long time for a person to do them. Automation Anywhere enables us to do those jobs in less time."

"Automation Anywhere has not only my organization but several customers as well, particularly the organizations from the automobile industry, benefitted in their vision to transform their business objective towards the path of digital transformation."

"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."

More Automation Anywhere pros

"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."

"Transact's best feature is its ease of customization."

"I believe Ephesoft Transact is one of the best tools because the UI is an easy one."

"I have found the keyword extraction to be helpful."

"The features that we have found the most valuable are the integration of different third-party support and productivity services."

"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."

"The solution is excellent for consulting websites, helping us send information, download the solution, and allow clients to upload files, with very fast and easy configuration, good pricing, and a very stable and scalable product supported by helpful technical support."

"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 most valuable feature of Kofax RPA is the simplicity of automating tasks."

"I would definitely recommend this solution."

"The most valuable feature is the robotic process."

More Tungsten RPA pros

Cons

"The bot creation process is tedious. The solution has a lot of features, but since you have to drag down a lot of the commands, it can get tedious to use it. You end up having to use the mouse a lot more."

"Now, it is a big complex to download the product and install it, then again to install the patches. So, it takes a lot of time to download it."

"Some things that I do not see as of today are interactive chat or video interface."

"They could improve around continuous integration, e.g., Jenkins and GitHub, stating how you could use those products and integrating them into Automation Anywhere."

"Automation Anywhere has a lot of room for improvement. It is not customer-friendly."

"We are still hoping to see improvements in its ability to have the client answer automatically and reconnect when Windows updates are applied."

"Their support also needs improvement."

"We want to have greater control on deciding when we want to upgrade to a newer version"

More Automation Anywhere cons

"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."

"Automation with the latest websites is not effective. The support of newer websites developed using new technologies would improve this solution."

"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."

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

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

"We've faced a few challenges with Tungsten RPA. One issue I recall was with sending emails that needed multiple attachments. At the time, the feature only allowed attaching one file at a time. We discussed this with Tungsten RPA, and they planned to add multi-attachment capability to their backlog. I'm not sure if it's been upgraded since then. The solution's desktop automation is tricker."

"The product should improve desktop automation, which is hard to configure. It needs to have custom connectors. It is the only advantage that Microsoft Power Platform has over Kofax RPA. It has more than 800 custom connectors."

"Exception handling needs to be improved."

More Tungsten RPA cons

Pricing and Cost Advice

"I don't deal have cost specifics but I can say it is a tool that provides value for the money."

"The pricing model can be a bit more flexible."

"It's cheaper than other similar solutions."

"It's justified because we have saved quite a bit of money at the company and many manual hours. Overall, it justifies the cost."

"The licensing cost of Automation Anywhere is better than UiPath and Blue Prism."

"The cost is at the highest end of the spectrum."

"The current pricing for Automation Anywhere seems a little higher compared to competitors Power Automate or UiPath. Automation Anywhere is perceived as pricey due to the support model charges ranging from 20% to 30% based on the plans."

"The cost can be reduced a little for users."

More Automation Anywhere pricing and cost advice

"Transact's pricing could be better for smaller customers."

"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."

"Kofax's prices are pretty reasonable."

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

"I give the price of the solution a six out of ten."

"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."

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

"Kofax RPA is moderately priced but expensive in comparison to UiPath and Power Automate."

"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."
