Management Consultant at Accenture

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.

High-accuracy document processing with easy integration and good image enhancement

The OCR extractions are very good, almost 100% accurate now. The integration with other tools is very easy, with inbuilt actions to configure and directly export to multiple depositories. It is also good at image enhancement, including the removal of lines, which is helpful in processing and automation and ensures very little user intervention, thus saving time.

Delivery Head at Emergys Mexico

Implementation successfully automates operations but support response requires improvement

There are other INTELLIBOT products available in the market that are superior and have been around for a long time. ServiceNow's product could improve by increasing its promotion. Customer support could also be improved, as they are slow to respond and appear to have policies that do not provide sufficient support for partners. They expect partners to be self-sufficient, which seems unusual for a product company.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The OCR application is excellent and has helped resolve many issues that I had been facing."

"My clients have seen ROI, as what would take them two to three days in work is now taking them two to three hours."

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

"We can see what the bots are doing when they are working."

"The development tools are very good. It's very user-friendly and easy to develop and deploy with Automation Anywhere. Ordinary people, within a few weeks, can develop a bot using the tool."

"Among the most valuable features that we've been able to utilize are the screen scraping and object cloning."

"Automation Anywhere has been a boon for our organization because the tedious task that used to be hectic and made us remain seated for hours is now done with a single click."

"All RPA tools used in the market have similar features and aspects that can be developed, however, specifically for Automation Anywhere, the ready-to-use templates which can be used as plug and play are a great feature."

More Automation Anywhere pros

"The most valuable feature is its ability to capture data, which changes all the time into different formats."

"At the forefront of my thoughts, the standout feature of this intelligent product is its remarkable capability. This project we're currently engaged in revolves around streamlining workflows within both our company and the customer's company. It entails handling information from various documents with diverse formats and types, even when they contain the same data. The ability to connect this information with the appropriate database and recognize it irrespective of the format or source is an extremely valuable feature. Moreover, leveraging machine learning is crucial since our customer deals with an extensive archive of over five million documents. Machine learning can significantly alleviate the backlog by becoming well-versed in various scenarios they might encounter during their work once we've completed our application."

"The administration of the application following an error is most valuable, as we are able to know easily when something is stuck in the system."

"It's resiliency, with multiple ways of identifying what you are looking for and multiple export formats, and it's a platform, not a configured application, so you can do what you want with it."

"The installation of the solution is very simple."

"The feedback from our clients that this solution has increased their efficiency and their turnaround time on opening any account for end users, thus attracting more customers."

"Datacap will help you to streamline and automate your document driven capture processes, saving time and effort on manual, error-prone tasks."

"While we are doing indexing, we tag the document type. It's programmed inside of Datacap to automatically detect the document based on a given template. It auto-indexes that document, which means that it automatically tags the correct document type to the scanned document."

More IBM Datacap pros

"INTELLIBOT is booming in India right now and we have heard a lot of good things from customer testimony."

"One of the most valuable features of INTELLIBOT is the scripting, which is commonly available with engineers."

"The replay of the automation is an awesome feature."

"The return on investment is pretty good because the license cost is cheaper than other RPA tools in the market."

"There's a helpful community available through the portal."

"It is a stable product. We have been using it for 15 months now, and there have been no issues."

"For machine learning, there is an in-built document and text classification feature in INTELLIBOT. That is unlike other RPA tools where one needs to procure a separate license. Besides this, the application is easy to use. One valuable feature is the drag-and-drop feature for AI and email intelligence. It is easier than using UiPath's IQ bot."

"This solution is easy to use and requires little coding knowledge."

More INTELLIBOT pros

Cons

"They need to make the solution more robust."

"Since it is not an in-house solution for ERP systems or CRM systems, automating those things requires additional effort."

"Our current version needs drag and drop, but that should be in the next release."

"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."

"More interactions with PDFs would be great for Automation Anywhere. The ability to use more legacy technology for object cloning, flash plugins, etc. A lot of their Excel commands could use some improvement."

"Understanding what we wanted to do the tool after setup, that was complex."

"The product is not totally stable."

"I'd like to see the OCR feature be perfected. Today we get an accuracy ratio from OCR of around 40 percent to 50 percent only."

More Automation Anywhere cons

"I give the scalability of the solution a six out of ten."

"One of the things that we wished for was to have an easier way to carry out the customizations. Currently, if you want to customize data, you need to have a developer with C# knowledge. If IBM could implement a no-code or low-code platform for Datacap, it would be easier to adjust it without needing a developer, which was always the most difficult part."

"Our main language in Egypt is Arabic, and IBM DataCap does not support it perfectly. All our documentation is in Arabic. It's not English or any other language. However, we have overcome this problem by using QR codes in the document to extract the data from it. They should have better support for Arabic."

"I would like to see the product have the ability to process more documents in parallel."

"The IBM Datacap site actually is on the newer inside. They will give it as a plugin only."

"What could be improved in IBM Datacap from a technical perspective is having everything together all in one place, rather than having several different interfaces. The addition of cloud-based OCR technology would also make this solution better. There's also room for improvement for their technical support."

"It can take some time to implement."

"Third-party integration is slow especially through API calls because if you want to integrate between Datacap and BPM, it can only be done in that direction (and not BPM to Datacap)."

More IBM Datacap cons

"Currently, there are not many documents available on Google that explain each activity and how to use it or how to use the parameters and pass values."

"There are other INTELLIBOT products available in the market that are superior and have been around for a long time. ServiceNow's product could improve by increasing its promotion."

"Has limited functionality and uses extensive resources."

"The solution is heavily dependant on scripts, such as JavaScript or any other external script that needs to be a part of the system. If they want to grow, the scripting dependency should go away. They should have built-in libraries to pull in work from."

"The trigger actions need to be more robust."

"I would like to see the cognitive marketing platform improved."

"A couple of times, we noticed that some bugs caused the bot to go in the wrong flow."

"The first pain point of INTELLIBOT was with the development. Whenever the company developed any command, they published it directly onto their SQL site, and our current automation got auto-updated. The second pain point was with the action set. It could be stronger. Moreover, if I am doing UiPath automation, I have to do it with the Internal Report for now."

Pricing and Cost Advice

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

"The solution is costly and the licensing is very confusing."

"They recently launched a Community Edition, which is okay, but they should have done this a long time ago."

"The certifications are free of cost."

"The price for Automation Anywhere is reasonable."

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

"It's very good in terms of cost and pricing."

"The setup cost depends on multiple factors, so you need to get details before choosing."

More Automation Anywhere pricing and cost advice

"You save a lot of time and money, but the benefit is you have people who are able to run the systems, check to see if there are any errors at all, and there are a lot less errors than a human system."

"Pricing depends on how much we use it. We pay per bulk quantity. We pay as you go. Therefore, it sort of depends on our usage of it."

"IBM could offer more competitive pricing. This would allow them to attain more users. Some of our clients are considering moving to a different solution called Encapture which is similar but offers more competitive pricing."

"It is an expensive solution."

"This solution offers seamless integration with other enterprise products, which is my area of responsibility, focusing on government sector projects. Larger enterprise projects don't pose problems. It might be suitable for small businesses as well."

"It varies, and it depends on the client's requirements and negotiations. Nowadays, Datacap is also included in the IBM Cloud Pak for Business Automation."

"In Egypt, we have exchange rates that change year to year, and currently, we're facing an increase in the exchange rate between our Egyptian pound and the dollar. Since we have been using IBM DataCap two years ago we had a good price, it was not expensive. However, I cannot say now if it is expensive or not because of the exchange rate. Additionally, I don't have the data of other competitors and I don't know the prices."

"We were using the User Value Unit licensing, which means we get charged per active user of the system, and if I'm not mistaken, we also had it for the rule runner service. They had a PVU license model, which is a processor value unit. For each process that we have in our system, we pay a certain amount of money. We found the pricing to be quite steep. It was really an expensive solution in comparison to Kofax, which had a different licensing model and was actually cheaper overall because they charge per page and not per user and per process."

More IBM Datacap pricing and cost advice

"It is quite cheap. In the year 2019, it was $1000 for a year."

"At the time, one license was $5,000 USD. If we needed to negotiate for more licenses, we could negotiate a bit on the price."

"The solution requires a license and we purchased one annually. We were satisfied with the price."

"INTELLIBOT with the DPA costs approximately $1,500 USD."
