Accommodates diverse use cases and effectively meets customer requirements
AI agents need further improvements. AI agent technology in agentic process automation is still evolving. We have only scratched the surface, and there are many potential use cases yet to be explored. As technology advances, I believe it will enable us to implement more comprehensive automation solutions. Document Automation has issues related to speed. When I compare Document Automation with IQ Bot, IQ Bot is faster than Document Automation. My understanding is that they are still evolving Document Automation, and this issue of slowness will be resolved in the upcoming .35 version, so we are good with that. They are working on signature identification and validations for handwritten documents. Currently, we are able to extract data out of scanned but digital images, but there is still scope for improvement for handwritten documents.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The features like IQ Bot and Metabot have helped our organization to gain business trust and provide a greater number of unique solutions to our clients for complex projects."
"The benefits include a reduction in tedious tasks and manual handling of tasks and time savings."
"We're finding time savings as a benefit. One example would be a customer service rep who might get a question about an order, and it's usually through email. It can take a good three to seven business days to answer a customer's question about their order. When we automate it, it takes hours, if not minutes."
"From a manageability perspective, this solution is very good."
"The solution has helped us increase productivity."
"Having no restriction for any single programming language is very useful."
"The solution is easy to learn and with it, it's easy to replicate knowledge."
"We use IQ Bot for invoice processing. It can be any type of document. It could be a PDF or any sort of document. It will convert those PDFs into CSV files, which is a structured format. It takes it from an unstructured to structured format. That is why we use IQ Bot."
"The biggest benefit of using the product is identifying the issues, enabling a more flexible working method."
 

Cons

"The GUI needs to be improved."
"Bringing a DevOps model for bot implementation integrated through private bot store might be a good idea to improve the tool."
"Copilot is an area with a lot of scope for improvement. It's the number one thing to improve."
"I would like better support. The technical support is mediocre. The support is sometimes really good, and sometimes it is really bad."
"The approval process needs improvement."
"I never use Automation Anywhere in the attended space because they are bad at that, at least compared to other players like us or UiPath."
"As a solution, it could have been easier to use than in the current state."
"Automation Anywhere should make it easier for developers to manage queues and exception handling. The OCR component could also be better. We have had to use other OCR tools to get information from the account documents."
"The platform's initial setup process could be better."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"It is expensive. Automation Anywhere has reduced the price slightly, as we have grown. However, the price is still excessive enough that we are engaged in PoCs on other tools."
"One of the key features that we chose, the bot as a service or the BotFarm, when they launched version 11.3, they decided not to have the BotFarm anymore. This put us in a situation because we expected to have bots on demand, just like our cloud software. This would have been cost efficient for us to use. We hope to see this again being realized with A2019. I hope the scalability from an on demand basis improves."
"Their licensing processes are in par with most industry standards."
"Our annual licensing costs are about $500,000."
"UiPath is exceptionally more expensive than Automation Anywhere. UiPath is far ahead of its competition, but in terms of finances, Automation Anywhere offers better value and is more effective for organizations seeking cost-effective solutions."
"Our costs are approximately between $5,000 to $10,000 per license."
"I would like them to have better license management."
"The licensing cost for Automation Anywhere is high."
