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.

Automates browsing tasks without needing a server connection
I have worked with Microsoft Power Platform and UiPath. Kofax RPA offers a comprehensive solution with built-in capabilities for executing tasks like running Excel files and web automation without additional servers. They provide their browsers and extensions. For functions such as OCR, image processing, and data extraction, Kofax has built-in features powered by their engine, eliminating the need for subscriptions to external technologies like Microsoft Cognitive Services or Google Search. One of Kofax RPA's strongest features is its on-premise solution, which is particularly beneficial for organizations operating in regions with data regulations, such as the UAE.

Effective data transformation and integration in complex environments with high functionality
Something that could be improved in WSO2 Enterprise Integrator is that the problem is not a lack of capability or functionalities. The problem is that it is a very complex environment. To put your hand on this environment is a very demanding task. This is the real problem. The problem is not about the product, but about the complexity to manage, to configure, to decide what to do. I have some experience using SAP R/3. It seems to me something similar. When you have to configure a situation with a client, especially for a client not in an industrial sector, but in a service sector, it is quite usual that you are in trouble for some reason. This is always the story that I found in the implementations I have done. Maybe there are only three or four big problems, in some other cases there are more than that, but this is the situation usually. For WSO2 Enterprise Integrator, not the same, but I must say it is quite often there is a need to put together some pieces and make it work in a coordinated way.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"From an SAP point of view, we have in-built features. They have integrated everything together, so it's much easier for us to use that."
"Automation Anywhere's image reader is the most valuable feature."
"It is easy to use and developer-friendly. The development time is very short. If any system needs to be changed or any functionality needs to be incorporated to any of the technology, it usually will be a long process, like months. With this innovative tool's automation, it is very dynamic, easy to develop, and deliver results quickly. With some of our use cases, we were able to deliver within the time frame of two to three weeks, which is the biggest plus with this tool."
"It has helped us relieve the workload on our human workforce and thus ensures that they remain productive and motivated at all times thus work efficiently."
"The recorders are highly beneficial when automating web scraping or web automation tasks."
"Human errors have been rectified due to bot usage."
"Improved Efficiency : Post RPA services, the efficiency and accuracy of the processes have increased tremendously and now the employees can focus more on important research and analysis work."
"What I appreciate most about Automation Anywhere is the high degree of interoperability, and they have both on-premises and cloud versions, which allows us to ensure that we are properly following the protocols and ensuring seamless integration with our native systems."
"The ability to script information from websites is most valuable. It also seems to be fairly robust and reasonably easy to manage on a server-based deployment. We have a number of robots operating on the central server."
"The best part of Kofax is that they have a whole concept; it's one product, but also has extra elements that can be integrated, and if you take the whole package with the extra products you can digitize it using RPA and also by using the other products they provide."
"Provides valuable tools working in integration with RPA tools."
"The product provides end-to-end solutions for different business problems."
"The most valuable feature of Kofax RPA is the simplicity of automating tasks."
"The scalability of Kofax is very handy, because with a few clicks you can have your scalable environment up and ready and it is not so complex to configure the entire environment."
"The product saves time and resources."
"The features that we have found the most valuable are the integration of different third-party support and productivity services."
"The drag-and-drop features for connectors are very valuable."
"While I am still exploring the solution, I've so far been pretty satisfied with it."
"The most valuable aspect of the solution is the integration between core banking and other systems."
"WSO2 Enterprise Integrator may cost you about twenty-five thousand dollars annually per year compared to IBM Cloud Pak, which would cost you around one million dollars."
"I like the user-friendly system and development of the service-oriented architecture."
"It's a consolidated product. It works and it does its job pretty well."
"The stability is excellent."
"From the capabilities and functional possibility and anything else technical, it is a very well-done product, I have to say."
 

Cons

"Had we had access to the RPA bots in advance, we would have practiced before fully implementing."
"The main issue I identify is that the cost of the enterprise-scale license and add-ons can be a barrier for small businesses."
"The optical character recognition of various documents and templates, particularly when using the Arabic language, has room for improvement."
"You could improve the tools for reading CSV/Excel, also providing wizards or detailed guides, otherwise, it is quite complex to use them, especially at the beginning."
"There are a few features that we would love to have: running on the cloud, running on Linux, out of the box integration availability with larger ecosystems like Salesforce, Workday, or Microsoft."
"There are many bots available on the Bot Store. However, my developer told me that he was unhappy with the quality of the bots available."
"The only reason I wouldn't rate it higher is because a COE Manager still not getting the full benefit from it and because the premium is a little bit expensive."
"The IQ Bots have a lot of room for improvement in terms of accuracy level. We need to improvise a lot. I'm facing another big challenge with one of the use cases. We raised a ticket and did multiple follow-ups with support, but the accuracy still isn't up to the mark."
"Its documentation is not widely available on the web. They should work on the availability of its documentation. In Automation Anywhere, there is a feature called Discovery Bot that automatically records the process steps and suggests a possible bot. I am not sure if such a feature is available in Kofax. If it is not available, it will be very good to have this feature. "
"The product needs more AI capabilities."
"The solution could use some AI integrated features."
"There is really nothing special about the capabilities of this product."
"Kofax RPA could improve web-based automation and there should be a choice of what browser we can use, such as Google Chrome, instead of an inbuilt browser from Kofax RPA. Additionally, Kofax RPA is missing an orchestrator that other solutions have, such as UiPath."
"Automating systems based on Citrix, where using AI or OCR-based capture of a screen, presents challenges."
"We are on version 10.6, and the current version seems to be 11. Kofax is cycling the capabilities of the product very quickly. One of the difficulties has been to actually keep up with the capabilities as they've evolved. On the one hand, it is good that the product is getting better, but on the other hand, it is difficult to implement the best way with a product that is evolving constantly."
"Kofax needs to create a community where developers have the opportunity to donate to it. The education surrounding this solution should be better."
"Most of the issues we run into with the WSO2 Enterprise Integrator deal with customizations."
"The integration capabilities need to be improved."
"They should release upgrades more frequently."
"The scalability is not strong. If you want to scale it you have to install multiple servers."
"You cannot include the validation of XPath."
"I would like to see them bring back a feature, from earlier versions, that was very useful in debugging and finding issues."
"There are a lot of security settings that when you apply you have to re-apply again every time you modify a setting. It is something that really needs to be enhanced."
"The micro integrator should be improved. There is room for enhancement considering alternative integration components."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Annual licensing costs would be about $100,000."
"Automation Anywhere is flexible in terms of costing and licensing."
"Price is where I'm least satisfied. Other vendors are more willing to offer discounts."
"Initially, they charged a premium, but now the rest of the vendors have increased their overall pricing and Automation Anywhere is not that high at this time. It's pretty viable."
"The solution itself is free unless we want to add the support option but we have to pay for the bots we use."
"I am not sure about the costs, but two Bot Runners and four Bot Creators may cost approximately 1CR."
"I would rate the cost an eight out of ten, with ten being the highest cost."
"IQ Bots are very costly. It's not a sustainable bot for us as of now. We will look for better, alternate options for that."
"Kofax RPA's licensing costs are yearly and expensive."
"The cost depends on the number of licenses and the number of RPAs."
"I don't have complete insight at this point in time, but I would guess that Kofax is a lot less expensive than Automation Anywhere. I would expect its license to be on a yearly basis."
"I give the price of the solution a six out of ten."
"Kofax RPA is moderately priced but expensive in comparison to UiPath and Power Automate."
"Its pricing is reasonable given the product capabilities. Kofax has a wide range of products, and it can sometimes be confusing to understand which capabilities come with which product set. One of the key facets that we've been looking into recently is cognitive document recognition that was a core pile of some of their other technologies such as Kofax transformation modules (KTM)."
"Price is not a problem, because they are a competitor and we have a special rate."
"The solution’s license is not expensive."
"The open-source, unsupported version is available free of charge."
"The cost is better than IBM Cloud Pak."
"I rate the product price a six on a scale of one to ten, where one is low price and ten is high price."
"The solution costs about 20,000 or 30,000 euros per year, per instance."
"The pricing of WSO2 Enterprise Integrator for enterprise subscriptions can be considered expensive, especially from the perspective of someone who prefers open-source software."
"It is a low-cost solution."
