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.

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.

Consultant at a outsourcing company with 201-500 employees

Automation has transformed invoice extraction and has reduced manual processing time dramatically

When it comes to improvements in UiPath IXP, there is a challenge with different languages, particularly Arabic invoices or handwritten ones, where there is some mismatch or difference in extraction. This could be improved. For instance, if there is a "Z" available on the screen, it may be identified as "2." Improvements in these two areas from the extraction point of view are necessary, along with considerations regarding pricing levels. In terms of support, UiPath is performing very well. Whenever we require assistance from UiPath, it has been positive. However, I would suggest that there is room for improvement in identifying complex different layout invoices, particularly for handwritten text, since there is potential for improvement in that area.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"I feel that it save us time and provides ROI as a monetary benefit because it reduces FTE, the number of headcount working for a particular project."

"The Automation Copilot is helpful. It will automatically give you all the solutions your bot requires. It's like a dictionary."

"Automation Anywhere is fully configurable."

"At the end of the day, the effort that you put in has exponential benefits, giving you many advantages from your lines of code, which is amazing."

"The error handling and troubleshooting are very good, and it is easy for a developer to know what happened in any particular line of code."

"For business professionals, it automates repetitive tasks and enhances efficiency and cost savings."

"Our ROI has ranged from thousands to hundreds of thousands, depending on the type of process being automated."

"Automation Anywhere has impacted our efficiency and productivity in a very positive way since we are shutting down a very manual process."

More Automation Anywhere pros

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

"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."

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

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

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

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

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

"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."

"Document Understanding's best features are the action center and verification mode."

"UiPath enables us to automate manual tasks and duplicate them easily. The processes are highly accurate."

"The main benefits that UiPath Document Understanding provides include an increase in productivity, as it takes over tasks from humans, especially in Italy, where finding qualified people is challenging."

"It has advanced capabilities compared to other competitors, whether Blue Prism or Automation Anywhere."

"The machine learning (ML) extractor is valuable. It helps in extracting information from even unstructured documents. It can sometimes also extract information from a written document. Without much manual intervention, it is able to process the documents. This is a unique feature of UiPath Document Understanding."

"AI Center is helpful for creating data sets. Machine learning helps with some extraction. The ML extractor gives good results after training."

"This solution has played a significant role in drastically reducing human errors by ensuring that 95% to 98% of tasks are done through the system."

"The best feature is pre-labeling, as it eliminates the need to manually label each data point."

More UiPath IXP pros

Cons

"The enterprise version is expensive for small businesses and individual users, which can pose a challenge."

"There is room for improvement in the stability of this product."

"The solution should have a more robust forum to help users navigate the solution, learn about it, and get help when they need it."

"With Oracle and ServiceNow, there seem to be challenges. With SAP, it worked very well."

"Excel, Outlook, and Word automation are very difficult with V11."

"Training is good and interactive but the final certification exam is very tough and it requires in-depth practical knowledge."

"Automation Anywhere can be improved in certain areas specified in the cognitive zone where the information needs better OCR Engine + Machine Learning capabilities. Also, they can improve on the System Identified region function of the IQ Bot - Our team faced a tough time in handling that as we were not able to assign variable to System Identified Region as the IQ Bot tool wasn't allowing it."

"I would like to see a built-in read-only role for the control room so that the bot creators can log in and monitor the production environment without any auditing concerns."

More Automation Anywhere cons

"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."

"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."

"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."

"We have to do manual validation for some of the things due to the OCR engine not being so accurate. For example, S is read as 5, 5 as S, 2 as Z, and Z as 2. In the case of currency, if one dot is missing, it gives a completely incorrect number."

"The downsides are that it's wildly overpriced."

"Document Understanding would be improved with more AI platforms."

"They can include some features in utilizing the product of assessment understanding, or more specifically, a better efficient handling of the ML skill, which right now is not that efficient."

"Handwriting recognition in UiPath Document Understanding is very difficult."

"There is room for improvement in UiPath Document Understanding's pricing. It is expensive for small clients. Currently, there is a big gap between the basic package and the 200,000 packages. There is no package in the middle for small agencies."

"UiPath Document Understanding has difficulty identifying handwritten documents, and there is room for improvement."

"The extraction can be better. ABBYY FlexiCapture has more capabilities than Document Understanding. It can also extract automatically without training, whereas with Document Understanding, we need to train everything."

More UiPath IXP cons

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Automation Anywhere is competitive... Pega is somewhat comparable, but Pega also requires a lot more infrastructure and a lot more experience to get up and running."

"Its usage is expensive for us because my user base is mostly in Manila and KL. The unit cost of labor is cheaper there than in the U.S. or Australia, which puts a bit more stress on how to get a positive ROI while continuing to use it."

"The solution is quite expensive. Not every organization can consider this option."

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

"Based on what I've heard, it's costly, but I don't know much about its pricing."

"It is not cheap, but we are able to get an ROI."

"It's cheaper than other similar solutions."

"UiPath is exceptionally more expensive than Automation Anywhere. UiPath is far ahead of its competition, but in terms of finances, Automation Anywhere offers better value and is more effective for organizations seeking cost-effective solutions."

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."

"I have only been using its free version."

"One of the biggest challenges we face with UiPath is the pricing structure."

"The pricing is reasonable."

"On a scale of one to ten, where one is cheap, and ten is expensive, I rate the solution a nine."

"Its pricing can be looked into because it is on the higher side for developing economies, such as India, where the cost of labor is a little cheaper compared to advanced technologies."

"UiPath is a pricey tool for small customers."

"The price for UiPath Document Understanding is a bit expensive."

"While Robotic Process Automation tools can be expensive, UiPath Document Understanding is no exception."
