Software Development Consultant at a hospitality company with 1-10 employees

Average solution with good workflow but needs to improve machine learning

The configuration can be a bit much. The AML engine part could be better. It's not easy to train. It's not so easy to train the system. If it's not trained, the accuracy will be off. They need to improve data quality. They need to start from scratch with the AML. They need to add on the document processing tool. It's getting there; it just need to be expanded. I haven't used the reporting too much. However, it would be helpful to have it more robust. The solution does require a lot of RAM.

RPA Technical Solution Lead at Infomentum

Helps automate processes but needs to offer different licensing models to users

Right now, I am not working on process mining at the minute. Before I switched to the company, I worked extremely closely with the process mining tool from UiPath, SAP BTP, and the process mining that they had created. I am working with MuleSoft Automation and Anypoint. We are not doing any sort of process mining at the minute, but in my company, because MuleSoft is one of the only RPA tools that we are looking at, we have another application called Appian that we are trying to explore now. Appian has process mining capability, which is why we thought we would look at it along with AI capabilities.

Quotes from Members

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

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 have found the keyword extraction to be helpful."

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

"Scalability is fine. It is pretty nice."

"It is a stable solution...It is a scalable solution."

"Contextor is a good solution for a Citrix environment. It's the first with this tool. Other tools provide the same functionality, but not with the Citrix environment."

"The initial setup of SAP Contextor is easy."

"Most of the details are already in the help portal and SAP notes are available. It is well documented as part of the product support."

"It is remarkably easy to configure and code, and it doesn't require an extensive technical background or coding expertise."

"The standout features of SAP Intelligent RPA are its flexibility and integration capabilities."

"The most valuable feature of SAP Contextor is that everyone is in one place in the program that I need."

Cons

"Transact could be improved by removing Java and making its pricing more accessible for smaller customers."

"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."

"It's not easy to train."

"The initial setup is of medium complexity. It is neither too hard nor too simple. You need some background in SAP and an understanding of it."

"For potential features or improvements, one aspect I would suggest enhancing is the flexibility of the extraction process."

"I found that the SAP scripting of a program is easier than SAP Contextor."

"I would like to see a better capacity for unstructured data, for example, PDF, or text within images."

"The tool's licensing has been kind of a challenge...At the moment, the tool does not offer different licensing models to users."

"There should be more of an error, like a proper error feature, in future releases. Sometimes, we don't understand why that automation is not learning what, like, where it is stuck, or what is the reason like, or what is the criteria we are missing to add. So a proper error message would be helpful."

"SAP Contextor could improve by automating some processes."

"One way SAP Intelligent RPA could improve is by integrating built-in DI services for document processing."

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."

"It all comes with a bundle right now. Having advanced features, it is competitively priced."

"The pricing is not that expensive. It is manageable."

"The initial cost might seem higher, but over time, with continued use over five or ten years, the cost tends to decrease, making it a more economical choice."

"This is not a tool or software with a license as others are. The SaaS model is based on the usage of the tool."
