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

"Now, rather than the team going and collecting all of that information, we can have the bots do it, and that has been fantastic."

"This solution is easy to use and easy to learn compared to Blue Prism, UiPath, and others."

"I found the new feature of integrating Python and HTML the most valuable."

"The solution has helped us increase productivity."

"My experience with the deployment of the solution is positive; it's fast, and we have not encountered any problems related to that."

"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."

"In Automation Anywhere we liked the drag-and-drop and easily stitching the recording of mouse control and keyboard controls."

"This is the right platform and choice, as every business needs to be at this pace and cannot ignore automation if you really want your company to get to the next level and be at par with competitors."

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."

"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."

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

"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."

"The pricing of the solution is quite good."

"The product provides end-to-end solutions for different business problems."

"Kofax handles UIs via the browser well. If it's not possible, they have other features like modeling screen scrapes, etc."

"The most valuable feature is the robotic process."

"The scalability of Kofax is very handy, because with a few clicks you can have your scalable environment up and ready and it is not so complex to configure the entire environment."

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

"It is a stable product."

More Tungsten RPA pros

Cons

"For people who don't have technical skills, Automation Anywhere may take time when it comes to browsing or loading time, and sometimes becomes very buggy with unwanted failures."

"Migration is probably our biggest challenge. When we were trying to do the migration to the new version, it was a little bit painful. We didn't have that many bots, and I can't imagine the level of effort that some of the bigger customers have to put in for that. The product is stable, but moving from one release to the other was the issue."

"When you are implementing it initially, it's challenging as there's a lot of change management."

"Copilot is an area with a lot of scope for improvement. It's the number one thing to improve."

"The current accuracy rate of 60% for document-based automations requires human intervention."

"Automation Anywhere could benefit from a more technical focus."

"The product is good, no doubt about it, but we need the OCR for handwritten documents, the web-based solution, and the licensing has to be improved."

"I don't think Automation Anywhere is easy to use for business users who do not have technical skills."

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."

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

"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."

"The solution needs to be scalable."

"Concatenation of error messages."

"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."

"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."

"Kofax needs to create a community where developers have the opportunity to donate to it. The education surrounding this solution should be better."

"Its documentation is not widely available on the web. When there is a problem, the channels through which I can get a solution are limited."

More Tungsten RPA cons

Pricing and Cost Advice

"I'm not sure what the monthly licensing cost is, as that is taken care of by another team, but I would say it's around $100,000."

"Time and monetary savings can range from 20 to 90 percent."

"The setup and licensing cost is affordable, and it is not exaggerated like UiPath."

"Automation Anywhere offers a subscription-based licensing model for cloud, on-premises, and hybrid deployments."

"In most of the cases, the product value is very good. If the infrastructure, implementation, and framework are good, then generally, the client can get a good return on investment."

"There may be room for the product to be more competitively priced to excel in the market."

"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."

"Licensing for Automation Anywhere (AA) is paid on a yearly basis. Out of all the RPA tools, it has the most value for money, e.g. what you pay is what you get."

More Automation Anywhere pricing and cost advice

"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."

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

"The solution’s license is not expensive."

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

"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."

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

"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."

"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."
