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.

President and COO at a computer software company with 51-200 employees

Good data ingestion and classification capabilities, supports various media types and formats, and the interface is easy to use

Currently, we're still using version 2-7-2, and now they're about to do the beta release on their version 2021. In this coming version, we expect that some of our issues will be fixed. We've had challenges in classification tasks where similar documents were flagged as multiple matches. The system would identify them and say, "Hey, I think I've got multiple matches. It could either be this one or that one." Because of that, it required us to instruct the system to either leave it unclassified, or we had to halt the process for somebody to look at it. With the new version for 2021, they have changed the paradigm. As it is now, we're using something called a form type, where pages within the document are referenced using a specific page number. For example, in a ten-page document, you might refer to information specifically on the first or fifth page. In the new paradigm, there is a first, middle, and last page concept, as opposed to having the different form types with all of the different pages. What they're telling me is that it's going to make the classification more accurate. Just because the first page of two different documents looks the same, they will not be considered duplicates. Having multiple points of reference will now allow it to better distinguish them. The other area we have had challenges with is table extractions, where if the data headers were not defined, or the tables did not have descriptions for the columns. My understanding is that in the 2021 version, they've now shown that they're handling that. Again, we don't have it and haven't been able to test it, but it's coming. Technical support is definitely an area that they need improvement in, in terms of the front-line individuals.

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

"The code, once developed, is pretty stable."

"The Automation Anywhere University is a good tool. It goes topic-by-topic with real-time examples."

"It is easy to use and deploy."

"Automation Anywhere has lots of features, some of them are accuracy increases, time consumption reduced, scalability. Automation Anywhere does not require a strong knowledge of programming languages. The dashboard is user-friendly."

"Automation Anywhere drastically reduces manual work for employees."

"We have a very resourceful pipeline to use AA bots in our RPA projects and we are looking to be more engaged with the AA team in deploying these bots."

"This Testing Anywhere is a good tool for the functional testing and also good for the beginners in Automation who don't have knowledge in scripting."

"Tasks now don't depend upon the unavailability of certain employees/colleagues to be completed. Also, bots can run all day long which also affects the overall budgets."

More Automation Anywhere pros

"The user interface is easy to use, and the flexibility is noteworthy."

"Lexicons where the key vocabulary can be inputted it is very helpful."

"So now we're doing stuff that takes literally minutes, or even sometimes seconds, and we've reduced the labor by a hundredfold."

"With Grooper, the old archive of information can be obtained with the models we built."

"There are many options and customizations that you can make to each individual extractor that allows you to tweak it for exactly what you need."

"Grooper processes difficult sorts of data and unstructured or semi-structured content very well. It's probably one of the better solutions I've seen compared to other solutions I've seen out there. It does a lot more things like segmentation extraction. It does it a lot better. Grooper has more focus on these types of freeform documents where other solutions are very generic and this is a little more elaborate in what they've done. I think they take it to the next level of extracting freeform data."

"In certain types of jobs, I would estimate that using Grooper saves us 70% of the time it normally takes to complete it."

"Using Grooper has sped up our data entry process between two and eight times, depending on the exact process."

"Since it provides both Capture and BPM on a single platform, it stands on its own in the business process improvement space."

"Great with recognition providing a high level of confidence."

"The product is really good, and it is easy to use. It comes with multiple integrations. The solution keeps up with the trend of Microsoft Copilot and AI."

"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."

"This is a great product, a BPM tool with capture facilities."

"Kofax is very easy to use, UI-friendly and allows easy data extraction."

"It is user-friendly and has good documentation. It's good for developing communication and has a lot of the APIs needed for this purpose. There aren't a lot of software options available from this time period; this is the only one from 2013 that has this concept of microservices."

"It's not so complex to design what you need to."

More Tungsten TotalAgility pros

Cons

"I just came to understand that there is a cloud attached to it. I would like to see how the cloud is going to work, because every application is coming out with a cloud version. If you are not on-premise, then you will need to have Citrix automation."

"If you want to use Chrome then there are three or four additional steps that need to be completed."

"Currently, while working on the SAP part, I encounter some challenges, particularly not being able to extract the tree structure."

"More interactions with PDFs would be great for Automation Anywhere."

"Automation Anywhere is expensive. They should consider lowering the price to make Automation Anywhere more affordable to SMEs, which comprise a huge segment."

"Unfortunately, this process was not used for a long time due to latency issues and a functionality gap."

"Cloud API vision and OCR engine integration should be more effective."

"The GUI can be improved by making it more user-friendly."

More Automation Anywhere cons

"If Grooper could "sense" important fields on the document and auto-build extractors for them, that'd be really cool."

"Grooper is new. It's new beta stuff, so we've had some issues, but that's understandable."

"They should have more sub-extractors or exclusion extractors so that the user does not have to make a parent data type."

"There are few bugs that my superior has posted in the Grooper exchange that concerned errors with the OCR."

"Technical support is definitely an area that they need improvement in, in terms of the front-line individuals."

"Grooper is new. It's new beta stuff, so we've had some issues, but that's understandable. Getting the beta product to more of a true release is where it needs improvement. I'm going through training now, so it's hard to judge what they have and don't have until I get through that training. Training is the main thing for me because I'm trying to learn and take things I've learned from other products and try to transfer that knowledge to this one."

"Kofax TotalAgility could improve the OTR engine. The page OTR engine is not accurate in predicting the data properly. If you provide many features which are good for business process management without an accurate OTR engine people will not want it."

"They provide sufficient but not excellent technical support. Perhaps there is a point where they could use some improvement."

"Even though it has good documentation, key things are not being noted perfectly."

"Kofax should improve its handwritten extractions."

"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."

"The product's console version is old. It should also improve its forum."

"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."

"Kofax TotalAgility is quite vast and complex as a product."

More Tungsten TotalAgility cons

Pricing and Cost Advice

"We only deal in annual licenses. There are no pay-as-you-go licenses."

"I find the license pricing to be competitive and reflective of the pricing models throughout the RPA space, and I believe there is a lot of value in continuing to maintain the free community edition platform."

"Our annual licensing costs are around $100,000 a year."

"The enterprise version is expensive for small businesses and individual users."

"If you look at the capital expenditure, Automation Anywhere is number two to UiPath. But if you take a long-term view, on a scalable model of a large number of bots coming out, it slowly goes on to become the costliest tool. There is something they can do about that. The capital expenditure goes out right at the point of buying the tool. For Automation Anywhere, I would need to spend $20,000. UiPath can give me something for $6,000, while Blue Prism will come in at $300,000."

"Licensing costs range from $50,000 to $200,000."

"We have seen a return of investment because it takes less time to market in our current process. I would estimate a times savings between 20 to 30 percent."

"We save 34,000 hours of time per year and have recouped up to $6000 in lost revenue."

More Automation Anywhere pricing and cost advice

"Know how many pages you will be needing to process, as the pricing is based on that."

"Overall, their pricing is higher than the competitors, but they offer functionality that is otherwise not available."

"It is slightly more expensive than other tools."

"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."

"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."
