Nadeem K.

Rpa Developer at a consultancy with 11-50 employees

Automation has freed teams from repetitive finance and supply tasks and supports global operations

In the current organization, we had trouble initially because I think the documentation and support could be better than what it is now. This is one difference between Automation Anywhere and other RPA tools such as UiPath. In UiPath, if you have an issue, you go to the UiPath website and search for it, and you get lots of help materials. In Automation Anywhere, you do not get exactly what you are looking for. You get a very large number of results when you search for something, and from this large result set, you have to filter out what you need, or only partial information will be available. User handbooks are available for each product. In that regard, I would say Automation Anywhere is lagging compared to other RPA tools. It is difficult to get hold of their customer support team. I want to clarify that it is not a matter of us building logic on Automation Anywhere and it failing. When it is a product-related issue, they have to give us support because we only know how to develop within Automation Anywhere. We do not know how to fix Automation Anywhere itself. Whenever we have an issue, trying to get in touch with them always takes three to four business days.

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 consultancy 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

"Automation Anywhere (AA) is really fast on the development side. It's an efficient and intelligent RPA tool, with a good engine and good connectors."

"We have been able to reduce the amount of repetitive tasks completed by operations, allowing individuals to move onto tasks which cannot yet be automated."

"It's pretty simple and non-invasive."

"A project that we automated: A person used to spend about eight to twelve hours every week to finish the process. The bot finishes it in half an hour. Now, the person just reviews it, then passes along the information. This has helped our organization because originally EMEA and APAC would not receive the files the same day that they were processed. But because the bot only takes a half an hour, everyone can now receive the files on the same day."

"Automation Anywhere has helped me save both time and costs, with savings of approximately eight million in the last two to three years, and in terms of percentage, I saved around thirty to forty percent of time compared to before using Automation Anywhere."

"Automation Anywhere (AA) is easy to use and understand, even if the user didn't have previous experience with RPA (robotic process automation) software before."

"Automation Anywhere has helped us in many ways and is one of the best RPA tools."

"Automation Anywhere has helped my company with APIs. We are currently in a project to create APIs for our core banking service and other transactional systems, migrating from another integration technology to API."

More Automation Anywhere pros

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

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

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

"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."

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

"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."

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

"Previously, we needed three to four people for validating invoices, now we have scaled down to one part-time person who is mostly engaged in other responsibilities, with invoicing tasks occupying only around five percent of their work time."

"One of the most valuable features is the intelligent recognition of the fields. The algorithm is able to recognize them based on the pattern. Also, the machine learning model enables you to use predefined solutions. The machine-learning capabilities of the solution are very cool."

"The entity-level extraction is very good. The workflow is also very good."

"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."

"Scalability-wise, I rate the solution a nine out of ten...The solution's technical support is good."

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

"The solution removes manual processes and reduces human dependency. It takes a lot of effort to go through each physical mail or email, extract the data and transfer it to Excel. However, the solution automates the process and works 24/7. The tool gives a complete package to process and understand documents. The valuable features include taxonomy modification, classification, workstation, etc. There are out-of-the-box features like ML models which you can custom build. We have saved time with UiPath Document Understanding. We have seen a 50 percent improvement in scanning processes. Compared to humans, the tool runs 24/7. The human error rate has also been reduced. Our human error rate is five percent now compared to the previous 15 percent. UiPath Document Understanding has also freed up our staff who now spend more time on critical tasks."

Cons

"In the next release, I think it has to be more compatible when deployed with the Citrix environment."

"The AISense recorder in Automation Anywhere needs improvement in resilience and OCR capabilities, particularly in comparison to UiPath's superior OCR functionality."

"The dashboard has room for improvement."

"Configuring A2019 and using it is getting a little difficult because of frequent errors of compatibility. It is not so user friendly like the enterprise desktop version."

"A2019 should have more improvement for developers, as it was in v11.x."

"For someone who does not have technical skills, using Automation Anywhere is quite challenging because it is primarily meant for the technical aspect, though it can help with basic data entry tasks, such as invoice processing and other repetitive back office operations."

"Sometimes the tool is timing out, which would be a good thing to have resolved."

"IQ Bot requires a significant improvement for its data detection and data retention, mainly from the previously trained documents: regarding the document's format, layout, data contained within the document, the type of data that needs to be extracted."

More Automation Anywhere cons

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

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

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

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

"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."

"The main area for improvement for UiPath Document Understanding is pricing."

"The licensing model poses a significant challenge due to the fee charged for posting a model, which impedes the development of productivity-enhancing models."

"If there were more integrations with Veracode or the AWS server, so we don't have to completely transfer our data and keep data on our servers, that might increase security."

"The rising annual licensing cost of UiPath's Document Understanding product is a major turnoff for users."

"Its pricing can be improved."

"The UiPath APIs lack reliable table parsing."

"UiPath Document Understanding requires more database connectors."

"I wish to have more pre-trained modules available in various languages."

Pricing and Cost Advice

"It is somewhere in the middle. The price and value of Automation Anywhere are better than UiPath. The pricing is good globally. It could be a little bit cheaper, but it is good."

"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."

"We have seen the tangible benefits of taking monotonous work off people's plates, creating capacity, and cost reductions."

"We have seen ROI in terms of cost and time with a couple of our projects."

"It's justified because we have saved quite a bit of money at the company and many manual hours. Overall, it justifies the cost."

"Automation Anywhere might have a higher upfront cost than some competitors, but its extensive features and seamless integration with other tools can save organizations money in the long run."

"The solution itself is free unless we want to add the support option but we have to pay for the bots we use."

"The product starts at $10,000 and then it's up to you regarding how much you can consume."

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."

"UiPath Document Understanding carries a premium price tag, but its current technological capabilities may not yet fully justify the cost."

"I find the pricing to be somewhat on the higher side."

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

"The cost per license is significant, approaching ten thousand dollars."

"The last time we implemented UiPath Document Understanding the price was high."

"On a scale of one to ten with ten being the most expensive, I rate UiPath Document Understanding an eight on cost."

"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."

"It's expensive, but you can reduce the price per license by getting more licenses. Overall, the pricing is okay."
