Process automation in manufacturing and accounting benefits from session identification features
I haven't found any significant pitfalls, but one area for improvement could be the selection process when working with multiple applications. It would be helpful to highlight a specific application instead of providing options for all applications. This change could help me avoid confusion, especially if applications have similar names or when different pages of the same application are in use.

It's difficult to say what I'd improve in Tungsten TotalAgility because we haven't been actively marketing that particular product in the last probably six to nine months. The speed of product development means that my experience with it is likely out of date in terms of the product suite capabilities. The difficulty with customers nowadays is that they are subject to the winds of change in terms of the adoption of cloud technologies and the offerings those cloud technologies bring. Microsoft, for instance, is rapidly filling in the spaces between various product areas that other vendors typically owned. That makes it difficult for customers to settle on their functional requirements because the offers are competing in the same space. I look for more integration with mainstream subscription based platforms, more security integration, and possibly some more lifecycle management features. However, the difficulty with that is the competition with existing options that people have in their subscription library.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"Whenever we want to create something from the previous documents or images, the OCR feature enables us to do that job easily."
"The character recognition feature is very good."
"The ability to train itself is a good, valuable feature. It is one of the most stable RPA products at present. Installation is easy for IQ Bot, and they provide good technical support."
"The most valuable feature is the ease of use and the new feature that makes it possible to integrate the platform with Google."
"The most valuable feature of IQ Bot is the Discovery Bots. They can detect and analyze for improvements."
"IQ Bot is a useful and easy-to-use tool."
"The single platform capabilities are most valuable. I don't need to go to another third-party such as Blue Prism or UiPath. They have all these other bolt-on solutions. It is a part of the Automation Anywhere platform. It is all integrated."
"The most valuable feature is the cognitive, self-learning component that understands the undefined templates."
"The most valuable features of this solution are automation, ease of billing processes with the process net, and low to no code development."
"What I find most valuable in Kofax TotalAgility is its OCR feature. I also find its workflow and business process management capabilities valuable. Kofax TotalAgility also has good integration with other solutions and has an API call feature."
"Now it has an OCR, optical character recognition, engine where it can extract data from the document."
"It is user-friendly and has good documentation."
"This is a great product, a BPM tool with capture facilities."
"It is a very user-friendly tool in the market with a complete package of BPM, case management, and capture capabilities."
"It's a growing tool that offers a complete package of BPM, case management, and capture capabilities."
"Since it provides both Capture and BPM on a single platform, it stands on its own in the business process improvement space."
 

Cons

"The product is expensive."
"There are certain things that OCR engines are not capable of handling currently. For example, OCR engines pick up a slash as a question mark."
"This solution could be improved by making it possible to add handwriting and signatures."
"There's still room for improvement in IQ Bot because sometimes, my team has certain types of PDFs that need to be grouped, for example, five types of videos need to be sorted to get data, but it was impossible to do in the solution. There's even an instance when I'm extracting data, for example, the invoice numbers, and I trained IQ Bot to do the extraction just for the invoice numbers, but it failed to do it. There could be some exceptions that the product developer is working on, but it could take time because sometimes IQ Bot works, and sometimes it doesn't, so the error isn't because of the developer. The error lies with the system. Another area for improvement in the solution is that during installation, it makes your machine drastically slow. It requires you to have RAM of 16 GB and a 500 GB hard disk, but that's still not enough. Slow downloading is also an area for improvement in IQ Bot because whenever you try to execute bots around 20MB to 100MB, for example, that will be downloaded from the cloud to local machines, and this process could take between seven to eight minutes, and this could be frustrating especially when you're trying to showcase it to a customer. Bot downloading into a local machine shouldn't be taking more than five minutes because it's embarrassing in front of clients. It's good that Automation Anywhere provides a cloud version for IQ Bot, but if you're unable to execute it fast, then that's not very good. I was working for one client in Brazil and there was a time I was showing the bot to them and it was taking around seven minutes to get downloaded on the local machine, and I even tried to connect with the support team, but that still didn't get me anywhere. If you're working on some code and you're executing a bot, you need to change one line and the bot will download completely, so it should be pipeline or SVN or Git. If you've downloaded a 50MB bot, you just change one variable name, but then you have to download the 50MB code again, and it makes you wonder why you need to download the complete code. You have to double-check if you already have the code in your folder, and why would you need to download it again. Only one line should be changed for the download time to decrease drastically, but right now, you need to be downloading the code completely, so if you're executing a 100MB bot fifty times, then that means it will be downloaded fifty times as well. IQ Bot is not a straightforward solution, so my team is struggling with it. Currently, my company has been doing some R&D about the solution, and it has several main problems that need to be addressed. What I'd like to see in the next version of the solution is support for unstructured PDFs because currently, it's a very good solution for structured PDFs."
"API configurations through control room could be improved a bit."
"The price of IQ Bot, packaged with Automation Anywhere, is too expensive for some companies and they will not use it."
"The user should be able to update the data libraries."
"The process of manually correcting the data in the validation queue that IQ Bot failed to extract should be automated."
"There needs to be more accessible certification and better pricing."
"Even though it has good documentation, key things are not being noted perfectly."
"Lacks sufficient inbuilt features."
"It’s not truly low code yet, as every two or three projects, you will have a situation where you have to go behind the essential things."
"The initial setup is a bit complex - more than other OCR tools available in the market."
"Customer service was very poor."
"Kofax TotalAgility is quite vast and complex as a product."
"The Transformation Designer of KTA can be made better."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Pricing for IQ Bot isn't good because if you're paying a lot and you're still getting some problems from it, then you can't give it a good rating. You have to compare how much you're taking out of your pocket with what you're getting from the solution. For example, I have a client paying $30 or $40 for the solution, but sometimes, he's still getting exceptions or errors from it. The cost of IQ Bot is too high, so people are hesitant to purchase the license for it. On a scale of one to five, with one being expensive, and five being affordable, I'm giving IQ Bot pricing a one."
"The licensing is on a yearly basis, and I am happy with the pricing."
"The product cost is relatively high compared to other tools in the market."
"The price of IQ Bot could improve by being less expensive."
"It's expensive."
"The solution’s hardware cost is high."
"The pricing is reasonable."
"The package that includes Automation Anywhere and IQ Bot starts at $10,000 USD."
"The licensing cost for Kofax TotalAgility is very expensive, though I'm unable to give you the range, the sales representatives of my company say that the product is quite expensive."
"It is slightly more expensive than other tools."
"The price of this solution is less than some of the competition."
"It has a perpetual license. You pay once in a lifetime for the volume of scans you will do and the number of users you will have. You can have participants or regular users, and you can have developers and administrators. So, once you purchase it, it is for a lifetime, and then every year, you have to pay for the maintenance. There is an annual maintenance cost, which is about 18% of the licensing cost."
"Kofax TotalAgility is very expensive."
