Featured Reviews

Hilal Paray. - PeerSpot reviewer
Has valuable OCR capabilities and a straightforward setup process
The initial setup is straightforward. Automation Anywhere's cloud-based tools make the deployment process relatively easy compared to other solutions. The on-premises version can be deployed in about a week, as testing is involved. However, deploying the cloud version takes approximately 30 minutes since everything is pre-configured and ready to deploy.
Gavin Beckett - PeerSpot reviewer
Design studio enables effective automation while licensing needs improvement
I noticed that it lacks the ability to automatically record the process steps like some of its competitors. Having this capability could accelerate the process. The delivery methodology felt somewhat waterfall in style and not sufficiently agile. Additionally, the licensing model was somewhat prohibitive. It was not developed in a consumption-based manner, however, rather in a fixed-price licensing model that did not account for volumes.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"IQ Bot's connectivity to various cloud service providers is beneficial."
"It is very easy to set up and use this tool to get information from documents. It can get the information about the purchase order number, average, description of purchase orders in several formats without any problem."
"IQ Bot has helped my organization transform digital documents and files into information to be processed."
"The way that the learning combines with the OCR is the solution's most valuable aspect."
"The product is easy to use and easy to deploy."
"IQ Bot efficiently extracts invoice data from various types of PDFs."
"The most valuable feature is the intelligence it has with the ability to read the customer sales order and convert it into our own, despite minor changes in format."
"The detection or extraction of data from the images in PDFs is the feature that I use the most. It is a good solution in terms of how easily you can administer or manage this tool. It is quite easy to use, and it is powerful in terms of what it can do."
"I find the design studio, where I can build the automation, and the control room feature, which allows me to run and monitor the automation, to be the most useful."
"Some important features include the language capabilities, which are crucial since RPA has to read the documents provided by the customer."
"The key feature of SS&C that I find valuable is the general workflow visibility."
 

Cons

"It's not intuitive from a user standpoint."
"It should have more artificial intelligence to capture information from a document. Currently, our clients are preparing invoices manually. They are not digital, so we need to scan all the documents, but we are facing issues in capturing all the information through IQ Bot. Therefore, we have to use other tools to capture the information, and then we use IQ Bot to process all the information. They need to improve the artificial intelligence for document scanning."
"Machine learning capabilities would be beneficial to have."
"Lacks sufficient flexibility in identifying a wider variety of documents."
"The log scripts can only be written in Python, there is no compatible language."
"The solution did not allow the use of other OCR and their own was not accurate and could improve."
"I would like love to see pre-trained models based on industries."
"There are issues with the technology identifying a signature."
"I noticed that it lacks the ability to automatically record the process steps like some of its competitors."
"Blue Prism is more costly than UiPath in terms of robotic licenses and orchestrators."
"There is a need for improved integration with external systems in SS&C."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The solution is cost-effective compared to other market tools."
"There are others like Automation Anywhere offering similar kinds of bots for less. Most of the platforms are the same, and most of the features are the same, but not the licensing cost."
"If you make use of only a few bots, this solution is very cheap."
"It has an average cost."
"It is based on the stages and on a yearly basis."
"The licensing is under usage per page, and I wouldn't recommend it."
"IQ Bot is expensive compared to other solutions."
"It's expensive."
