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.

Gave a better output every time, reduced our touch time by 80%, and had a robust reporting mechanism to improve the process
We tested HyperScience on structured formats of the forms, and it worked really well. We tested it with semi-structured formats, and it worked well. We also tested creating a new form that does not have any format. HyperScience has less capability while working on unstructured forms. Unstructured forms are those where there is no standard structure and the information can be anywhere on the form. They need to develop this capability. Such a capability would make it a perfect system for processes like data entry, accounts tables, etc. Secondly, before putting the actual volume in the tool, I believe that we have to create a manual form every time. If the procedure of creating the forms can be shortened or automated, it would help. It would reduce the manual effort of creating a form every time you start working on it. There should be an automated form creation system that does not require any manual intervention. Whenever a new form comes, the system should be able to create a dummy form for that. That will help.
Gangadhar Wali - PeerSpot reviewer
Founder and COO at InVibes
Pre-trained models work well, but it is very expensive
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. These discrepancies should be fixed because if the OCR itself doesn't work properly, then AI doesn't help with that. When AI is used for training models, the AI Center works precisely, but if the data itself is wrong, we can't do anything. If the extraction of data is proper, it definitely helps. However, 20% errors could be reduced if the OCR engine were better. In future updates, I would like to see better handling of issues such as when a dot is missing in currency, for example, with dollars, it should handle that automatically. It's very expensive. If the volume increases, we can't afford to use Document Understanding. We are thinking of moving to another solution because we are expecting 80,000 to 100,000 invoices.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"From my developer's point of view, the tool is pretty strong."
"Automation Anywhere is fully configurable."
"This product has helped us a lot by improving and growing the business in different domains."
"Business analytics provides real-time data that's something other competing companies lack. It uses statistics and graphs to show the performance of the bots which processes are lagging behind and if you need to give priority to certain tasks."
"Automation of such tasks helped in clearing the bandwidth of the users and requestors alike and saved a lot of to and fro just asking for the latest data."
"Since it has capabilities to integrate with third-party applications easily, it makes the life of an automation engineer very easy."
"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."
"By using its AI & ML capabilities, we have solved many problems for our clients."
"For our use case, it provided a complete workflow, reduced our existing touch time by 80%, and from the point of view of technology, it is one of the leading platforms right now in the OCR world."
"I like that compared to other tools, HyperScience works best with handwritten documents."
"It provides the best accuracy for handwritten forms, which is a struggle in the industry. You can take processes with a lot of manual work and streamline them through this tool."
"We have seen pretty good accuracy."
"HyperScience is good for structured and semi-structured document extraction and it's easy to learn."
"If accuracy and customer satisfaction are your goals, then you should go for this solution."
"Has algorithms that can detect a document template even if the image has a lot of distortions."
"What I liked more about HyperScience was the quality of the OCR it is a lot better compared to Google."
"Document classification is very good."
"The validation process is easy. The Validation Station shows you the extracted data on one side and the document on the other, so you can easily scroll down and check if the data is accurate. You just need to click a checkbox. If you don't think it is fine, you have the option to add an exception. Based on that exception, you can create multiple conditions for how to address the same issue if it happens again."
"The solution is quite stable, and I am happy with its performance in my programs and processes."
"The highly visual and user-friendly interface was a standout feature."
"The most valuable feature is key-value pair and table extraction."
"In UiPath Document Understanding, I use two extractors. One is the Intelligent Form Extractor and the other is the Machine Learning Extractor. The first one is very useful and user-friendly. When we have a single template or two to three templates, Intelligent Form Extractor is much easier to use. But if we have multiple templates, it's better to go with ML Extractor as you can train the model with different templates."
"Machine learning is the most valuable feature of UiPath Document Understanding."
"Scalability-wise, I rate the solution a nine out of ten...The solution's technical support is good."
 

Cons

"One of the important drawbacks of Automation Anywhere is that it needs to be able to show the automated process as a single flowchart."
"Having fewer connection instances would make it more secure, more simple to troubleshoot, and possibly more flexible with the type of applications in use."
"They have incorporated many latest technologies, such as AI, and there is always scope to improve the processes and have more stability."
"The main issue I identify is that the cost of the enterprise-scale license and add-ons can be a barrier for small businesses."
"Had we had access to the RPA bots in advance, we would have practiced before fully implementing."
"The API integration should be improved further since it is a bit difficult at the moment to connect with the API in the enterprise version."
"I would like to have the ability to schedule bots by whichever one is available."
"If you were to come to me and ask for an OCR to be done, I could only guarantee you about eighty percent accuracy."
"HyperScience could improve the unstructured data extraction feature."
"One area is where there are multiple tables in the same form I have seen HyperScience struggle."
"The product's usability could be better."
"Extracting tables from certain documents could be improved."
"The solution lacks support for a greater range of languages."
"The solution is expensive."
"They could work on the price and make it a bit more reasonable."
"HyperScience has less capability while working on unstructured forms. Unstructured forms are those where there is no standard structure and the information can be anywhere on the form. They need to develop this capability."
"I encountered difficulties with UiPath Document Understanding in determining the appropriate OCR to use for certain files."
"Sometimes, when the number of items is very large, the solution doesn't properly identify them."
"Existing models have room for improvement."
"UiPath Document Understanding could be more user-friendly."
"They could work on the digitizing and classification of documents."
"UiPath Document Understanding requires more database connectors."
"Its pricing can be improved."
"One area of improvement for UiPath Document Understanding is the accuracy of handwritten documents. While the solution supports handwritten documents, the accuracy percentage is not as high as desired."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Automation Anywhere is cheaper than UiPath and Blue Prism. From a market point of view, Automation Anywhere is reasonable. Any organization can adopt Automation Anywhere."
"With the rebate processing automation that we did, it has provided us a savings of around an hour or two a person on a daily basis, which is quite a lot of savings."
"The pricing is reasonable and one can achieve ROI faster when compared to other tools."
"Complaints are generally about the cost of IQ Bot, which is higher than its competitors. The base model’s pricing is comparable to other platforms with attended, unattended, and IDP capabilities as well."
"The licensing cost is approximately $4,000 USD, which is a seed license."
"They give us a good deal on the licensing because we bundle and customize things. If you ask to get a bulk business deal, you will receive more benefit. If you take other products from the suite, like IQ Bot, you can also receive a deal on the licensing."
"One of the key features that we chose, the bot as a service or the BotFarm, when they launched version 11.3, they decided not to have the BotFarm anymore. This put us in a situation because we expected to have bots on demand, just like our cloud software. This would have been cost efficient for us to use. We hope to see this again being realized with A2019. I hope the scalability from an on demand basis improves."
"From my experience, I can say that the initial setup cost is easily recovered over a period of time once the bots start running in production."
"I don't have any idea about the licensing costs, but I know that there was a per-page charge. They had different models of pricing. One of them was based on the minimum number of pages, and we had a fixed price. So, the price model depends on the volume that is coming through HyperScience."
"I think HyperScience is cheaper when compared to other tools. They also have a lifetime licensing option."
"UiPath Document Understanding carries a premium price tag, but its current technological capabilities may not yet fully justify the cost."
"The cost per license is significant, approaching ten thousand dollars."
"On a scale of one to ten, where one is cheap, and ten is expensive, I rate the solution a nine."
"For the licensing part, in our company, we initially started off with a monthly plan, but yearly plans are also there. Cost-wise, UiPath Document Understanding is good since it provides flexibility in its pricing."
"Our clients are concerned about the volume-based pricing model, as UiPath charges more than other vendors in the market."
"The pricing is reasonable."
"One of the biggest challenges we face with UiPath is the pricing structure."
"I do not know about its price, but for large organizations, UiPath is cheap, whereas, for small organizations, UiPath is high. For example, if 500 licenses are needed for one company, UiPath is cheap. If only 5 licenses are required, UiPath is costly."
