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.

Automate has streamlined workflows and increased efficiency with powerful automation

The best features of the solution are the flexible automation features, it is rich with beautiful connectors, and it is easy to use with little to no coding knowledge required to get started, so anybody can use the tool. The intuitive interface of Automate has an intuitive design, which makes it easy to learn and use even without a strong technical background, and it has a drag-and-drop interface, which makes everything so easy and straightforward. The error handling capabilities in complex automation tasks are powerful, as it handles all types of tasks, whether complex or simple. I've never faced any problems even when dealing with complex tasks, so everything is super smooth and highly reliable, even when dealing with big tasks, as it has never slowed down. Automate's compatibility with existing IT infrastructure has impacted our business operations positively by providing smooth integration with other software that we use, such as Gmail, Jira, and Microsoft 365 apps, which gives us a unified platform instead of having to keep switching from one software to another, saving a lot of time and streamlining the whole workflows. The automated analytics have helped improve our business processes since it has increased our efficiency by automating our everyday tasks, freeing up time for us to focus more on strategic activities such as analyzing data and developing new business strategies. It is also cost-saving. By minimizing manual labor, it decreases human errors that can lead to costly mistakes. By automating the tasks, it helps to save costs, and it also improves our accuracy by reducing these errors to ensure that tasks are done almost perfectly.

Has faced challenges adapting to evolving capture methods and competitive integrations

It's difficult to say what I'd improve in Tungsten TotalAgility because we haven't been actively marketing that particular product in the last probably six to nine months. The speed of product development means that my experience with it is likely out of date in terms of the product suite capabilities. The difficulty with customers nowadays is that they are subject to the winds of change in terms of the adoption of cloud technologies and the offerings those cloud technologies bring. Microsoft, for instance, is rapidly filling in the spaces between various product areas that other vendors typically owned. That makes it difficult for customers to settle on their functional requirements because the offers are competing in the same space. I look for more integration with mainstream subscription based platforms, more security integration, and possibly some more lifecycle management features. However, the difficulty with that is the competition with existing options that people have in their subscription library.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"It helps in improving employee productivity, morale, and retention, as automation removes the tedious parts of work and frees up often stretched-thin employees for more meaningful and creative work."

"ROI is good and impressive after using automation anywhere RPA platform."

"We saw a 70 percent decrease in manual steps. If something took 10 steps to do, we are doing it in three steps today."

"We used to set up 150 to 250 products in a week; that has come down to a day, and now I initiate the bot, go home, and by the time I am back it is done, so time is something that we are saving, we are becoming more efficient, and our partners are happy."

"The ease of access and deployment are the most valuable features."

"Workflow automation has helped a lot with cost reduction, greater accuracy, and delivery speed."

"On the server-side, multiple developers working on a single project can save their individual works and have them stored in a single repository."

"This RPA solution really stands out because of its functionality, scalability, and stability. It also offers very good technical support, and is always innovating with new features that speak to various operational use cases."

More Automation Anywhere pros

"The ability to connect to websites and pull data is the solution's most valuable feature."

"Fortra's Automate performs the job effectively and has the capability to alert us of any issues."

"Overall, the whole product is really nice and provides significant benefits."

"Fortra's Automate has become a digital worker that performs our clicks, data entry, file handling, and system actions that are done manually, helping us to automate them."

"The solution saves us a lot of time; we use it hourly for repetitive tasks dealing with 14,000 files, and Automate handles that well."

"We have found the pricing to be very reasonable."

"Fortra's Automate has effectively replaced the workload of an entire employee, saving us significant time and money."

"The most valuable features of Fortra's Automate include its FTP functionality and file manipulation capabilities."

More Fortra's Automate pros

"Kofax TotalAgility is a great design tool for reading handwritten invoices."

"Essentially, Kofax TotalAgility as a whole is quite nice. As of now, we've only been able to use and explore its document classification and extraction capabilities. We haven't explored and used the case management capability yet, but the scan and capture capabilities we've been using heavily and those are quite good. Our solutions are mainly around those areas of Kofax TotalAgility. We haven't explored the product a lot, but the capabilities we've explored are good."

"We are currently processing over 60,000 invoices per month with no more than 25 individuals."

"However, this solution is stable, and I have not seen any issues so far."

"Now it has an OCR, optical character recognition, engine where it can extract data from the document."

"KTA will connect all the systems and lead the intelligent automation."

"Most customers benefit from multichannel capture, business processes, along with image processing capabilities, and centralized administration and reporting."

"Kofax TotalAgility is stable."

More Tungsten TotalAgility pros

Cons

"We will be running error handling for 8,000 process and the system will fail."

"We face issues with Excel file creation. I’m trying to create a file in Excel .xls, it is getting corrupted."

"These guys need to build a good team."

"OCR technology could be more inclusive by offering a wider range of supported languages, as its current selection is limited."

"I would like to see a technology where they can automatically update or upgrade themselves to the latest version, without having to uninstall the current bot."

"It may sound a little funny or weird, but one thing that we are thinking is we have to go to various websites and pick up relevant data from various websites using the bot."

"They do not include the basic functionality of column headers in Excel worksheets. This is missing, and we need it."

"One of the things that the product should have is to add more advanced level developer capabilities into the platform. I know it is easy for business, non-technical people. However, for the developers, there should be some more features within the product so they can build advanced level use cases much faster."

More Automation Anywhere cons

"The areas that have room for improvement in Fortra's Automate include the reporting and analytics functionality, where the analytics could be more detailed."

"The intelligent automation feature could be improved. It's interesting because it's simple, but the automation quality isn't always good. It's easy to use, but sometimes you need to make a slight improvement to the automation, and that's not so easy."

"I would prefer not having to log in to update a ticket; being able to respond via email would be beneficial."

"There is room for improvement regarding cloud functionality; there are a few missing features, and the logging could be better, especially air logging. We can go into logging events and create our own task, but it would be nice if this were more detailed."

"Regarding customer support, I face challenges sometimes. They're not always available, and you may need to wait for assistance, but overall their support is acceptable."

"The OCR for Hebrew text needs to be improved."

"The documentation is not that great."

"I wish Fortra's Automate could shorten the time it takes to debug complex workflows because they tend to take much longer than expected."

More Fortra's Automate cons

"The tool is not up to the mark at all for what we needed it for."

"The initial setup is a bit complex - more than other OCR tools available in the market."

"The form development could be improved."

"The pricing for Kofax TotalAgility could be more attractive, particularly the cloud version of the solution which was offered to my company. This is its area for improvement."

"They never stressed the lifecycle document management aspects of regulated processes effectively, which I think possibly represents a weakness."

"It’s not truly low code yet, as every two or three projects, you will have a situation where you have to go behind the essential things. You will definitely still need to customize."

"I'd like to have better inbuilt features so that we could see some added value."

"Kofax should improve its handwritten extractions."

More Tungsten TotalAgility cons

Pricing and Cost Advice

"We were required to purchase licenses and bot runners, which determined the permissible run times for the bots."

"Annually, we are paying almost one million reais."

"Pricing is affordable and I would recommend beginning with the Starter Package."

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

"It depends. For example, for my group, we are centralizing the infrastructure in Paris. Our contract is signed with Automation Anywhere in France. The currency and the pricing of Automation Anywhere in France can appear beneficial and interesting for Germany and Scandinavian countries, but when we share our infra and are internally charging other countries such as Poland, Brazil, or some other country with a lower currency value as compared to Euro, it becomes less beneficial. They would prefer to sign the contract directly with Automation Anywhere because they will benefit from a price that is as per their local market."

"Subscription for Automation Anywhere (AA) is paid yearly."

"I think it's $5,500 per license."

"We have a three-year contract with Automation Anywhere."

More Automation Anywhere pricing and cost advice

"Once you buy the software, you just pay for the support for backend help."

"I believe the price falls within a reasonable range, which significantly influenced our decision regarding the product. This aspect is crucial for any technological solution, especially in our country where enterprises might be hesitant to invest heavily in something untested or uncertain about its practicality and potential returns."

"From a distributor's perspective, one of the biggest selling points of Automate is its price point."

"I like the way this solution is priced because you can buy a license, or you can buy the software outright."

"Compared to other products, the pricing model for this solution is much more convenient, flexible, and adaptable to the Portuguese reality."

"The cost is a bit high for a small business like ours, but we manage with Fortra's Automate."

"From a distributor's side, one of the biggest selling points is its price point. Without going into any numbers, compared to UiPath, Automation Anywhere, and Blue Prism, we're significantly cheaper. The main difference is that other competitors usually charge you per process. However, in Automate's case, it's priced per bot. So, a bot can run multiple processes at the same time, but you are only priced for a single bot."

"The pricing is quite reasonable. We can run the process with one bot. The limitation is at the server level because they have some resources, and sometimes that is enough. It isn't too expensive, so you can get a good return off of one, and you can also have a pack of five bots that is quite competitive."

More Fortra's Automate pricing and cost advice

"It is slightly more expensive than other tools."

"The licensing cost for Kofax TotalAgility is very expensive, though I'm unable to give you the range, the sales representatives of my company say that the product is quite expensive."

"The price of this solution is less than some of the competition."

"It has a perpetual license. You pay once in a lifetime for the volume of scans you will do and the number of users you will have. You can have participants or regular users, and you can have developers and administrators. So, once you purchase it, it is for a lifetime, and then every year, you have to pay for the maintenance. There is an annual maintenance cost, which is about 18% of the licensing cost."

"Kofax TotalAgility is very expensive."
