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.

Has improved analytics and reporting but needs better integration and support
To improve IBM Robotic Process Automation (RPA) for the next release, there should be more integration with external systems, and more integration with IBM's data and AI platforms is needed. There is an AI part in IBM Robotic Process Automation (RPA) for Machine Learning, but IBM has another platform specifically for data and AI, which is integrated right now. More features are hoped for in the future.

Automated document extraction has reduced manual paperwork and improves inspection accuracy
One area of KODAK Info Input Solution that I would like to see improved or enhanced in the future is support, especially sales support. Technical support is adequate. For example, when we were negotiating about the pricing of the solution, the sales support was interested more in us buying the plan, but they were not explaining what the benefits of this solution are or how it is going to help us. The focus was specifically on buying the plan, which I saw was not good. Another thing is about the interface. The interface should be improved. It looks a little bit outdated compared to other modern SaaS platforms. If they can improve on the UI and interface, that would be helpful. To be honest, what we purchased KODAK Info Input Solution for is executing our plan. I don't think I'm not aware about that. Maybe other features should be included, but the features we currently have in KODAK Info Input Solution help execute our plan. If they can improve on analytics, that would be great. The AI summary can tell you what you have, but analytics are not adequate. As I mentioned before, we have to export our data to another third-party tool, Tableau, to analyze our data.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The tool is very easy to use and mostly user-friendly. I like that when using it I don't need much expertise."
"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."
"Automation Anywhere has made it very easy for you to install, they've got the tools to make it very simple for you to create a quick, small application and to get out there."
"Since it can be utilized 24/7, the ROI is pretty high with minimal efforts and resources by using unattended automation."
"AA has improved our efficiency and saved on manual hours because no manual interaction is required."
"Automation Anywhere's most valuable features include generative AI, similar to Copilot, which will significantly benefit developers; low-code or no-code technology; and document automation capable of extracting data from structured and unstructured PDF formats, presenting it clearly and easy to follow."
"I have worked on other RPA tools but this is more logical and easy to use."
"AA RPA has drastically reduced speed of execution and thus turn around time of processes, ensuring all service level agreements are met and our customers get a great experience."
"Speed is definitely the key here, and in six weeks you can actually take a robotic solution and move it all the way into production while keeping your existing systems and teams working the way they are right now."
"The initial setup is very easy."
"One of the most impactful features of IBM Robotic Process Automation (RPA) has been its one-time setup capability."
"We can connect with different database types, and they have included a different package for a terminal connection to, for example, AS400. When it comes to UI development, it's not using the drivers or anything. It's not a selector-based development like UiPath."
"The quality is great! It's very strong and has a very strong platform."
"It is easy to use. We have enabled our resources who don't have a background in automation to be certified and trained, then implement this product within a very short period of time, as it is very user-friendly."
"I think simplicity is key. One of the things that we've noticed is how our developers have been able to quickly adopt the platform; but not only the developers or the techy people, also the business."
"The solution’s performance is good."
"The most valuable feature of KODAK Info Input Solution is the open intelligence piece, the ability to consume five different OCR engines."
"The KODAK Info Input Solution's customer support is the best."
"The KODAK Info Input Solution collects data automatically, which saves time, unlike when someone has to enter data manually."
"What makes KODAK Info Input Solution perfect is that it has comprehensive capabilities, features, and tools including its own printers and scanners that can easily connect and share information."
"The KODAK Info Input Solution offers fast workflows for extracting information from even the largest documents."
"I find the pricing of KODAK Info Input Solution to be friendly and affordable because before implementing the software in our company, our system manager discussed it with us and we found the pricing to be reasonable, which is why we recommended it."
"I rate KODAK Info Input Solution a ten out of ten."
"The return on investment with KODAK Info Input Solution is excellent because it has helped us so much and, although we pay $4,800 annually, in return it saves a lot of our time."
 

Cons

"We have a new feature share in Automation Anywhere, but it does not migrate automatically from the previous version to the new one."
"Automation Anywhere could assist in this transition."
"I don't use the technical support a lot. It feels like a lot of time that they will ask us to check the user manual."
"There's a loss of overhead on the computing resources in Automation Anywhere. If you have an encrypted bot, the Automation Anywhere software has to read it first, decrypt it, and run it. So there is a potential that, if the logic of the bot isn't good enough, a lot of CPU and memory overload will happen. This is something which Automation Anywhere should look at because it takes a lot of computing resources. I have seen CPUs running at 100 percent."
"Room for improvement is more on the IQ Bot side: How quickly we can adopt and deploy it?"
"It still uses old, deprecated Microsoft components that have an end date."
"I would like to see extensive OCR capabilities in the next release."
"They will need much more support, because it is a new thing and it’ll never fail because of productive partners. It will fail if people on the “gemba” don’t adopt it."
"Needs better integration with artificial intelligence or with machine-learning."
"Stability could be better."
"IBM Robotic Process Automation should be more stable."
"I would like it to do pretty much everything out-of-the-box without any need for any customization. However, that is not the case right now. We absolutely have to do some amount of customization with the solution in order to use it out-of-the-box as-is."
"IBM’s support should improve response time."
"IBM should provide specific solutions for specific problems, like templates for invoicing processes, or general templates for creating efficient processes."
"The product's document readers must be improved to capture the data well."
"The product must be promoted more."
"Integrating KODAK Info Input Solution with other software, such as Laserfiche, presents challenges due to inadequate documentation and an unintuitive web services interface."
"The KODAK Info Input Solution can improve its connection with scanners. It connects most effectively with Kodak's own scanners, specifically the S S S SMAX Scanners, while connections with other brands, such as Epson or HP, can take more time."
"The most significant area for improvement in the KODAK Info Input Solution is its ability to support custom definitions and auto-learn."
"The only area I think KODAK Info Input Solution could improve on is making their user interface more user-friendly and offering full customer customization of features."
"Sometimes there is an accuracy problem with KODAK Info Input Solution. Sometimes while connecting to the database, it shows errors, such as SQL login failed, your port is blocked, or not reachable."
"One area of KODAK Info Input Solution that I would like to see improved or enhanced in the future is support, especially sales support."
"The main challenge concerns the mobile application."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The price of Automation Anywhere is a little higher than some of the competition, such as UiPath. However, depending on the use case and other factors we are able to receive some discounts."
"We have a three-year contract with Automation Anywhere."
"Its price is competitive with all other products in the market."
"I don't know exactly what the pricing schemes are for the product as this type of negotiation is not my responsibility, but I think the basic pricing comes to $15,000."
"While calculating the setup cost you should account for the server, virtual machines, product licenses, maintenance costs, and running costs."
"The licensing needs to be made simpler or shortened."
"Our annual licensing costs are around $100,000 a year."
"They sell it by license, but if they could charge by case or by interaction, that might be better. Right now, it's expensive when you want to scale or use them for simple processes."
"The pricing is reasonable."
"The pricing is reasonable for this solution."
"There is a free trial for one month, so you can use it to run your payloads or proof of concept. After that, you can pay for the license on a monthly or annual basis."
"IBM licensing is annual and based on Virtual Processor Cores (VPC). This provides flexibility as part of the containerization environment."
"The product is reasonably priced compared to other tools."
"I rate the pricing ten out of ten. So, the pricing is very good for me."
"The license is paid annually."
"The product has a yearly licensing fee."
"The pricing of KODAK Info Input Solution in Mexico is very expensive, and the government's purchasing process requires convincing many stakeholders."
"Although KODAK Info Input Solution's pricing is competitive within the industry's consumption-based model, its approach is overly complex."
