AK
Good dashboard with easy tracking feature; lacks sufficient templates
Our use case of this product is for invoice processing. We tested it on a small project to get a comparison with UiPath. I am a user of this product and an intern in the company.  It's great that the solution doesn't require coding. If you input an invoice, it reads all the fields automatically…
Neethushree S - PeerSpot reviewer
User-friendly and code reusability feature for efficient utilization of existing code repositories
Building IQ bots is time-consuming. Initially, script-wise, it would take a lot of time and also the testing of testing part of it. Probably there might be something that has been advanced now, but I'm talking about before six months. Maybe there has been an enhancement, but during the time that we were working, the time that would take up to build the requirements initially would need a lot of time. In future releases, Automation Anywhere should promote this product more to make it more visible. It should be promoted to increase its visibility and awareness.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"Dashboard is good and the product doesn't require coding."
"The product is easy to use and easy to deploy."
"IQ Bot is easy to use compared to some of the other solutions out there."
"The most valuable features are rapid development, stability, and ease of use."
"The most valuable feature is the cognitive ability, as it will learn an interface that it is not familiar with and perform in the way that a human does."
"IQ Bot is quite user-friendly. And the drag-and-drop option is there, which makes the developer more comfortable."
"The character recognition feature is very good."
"The most valuable feature of IQ Bot is that any user can customize it on their own, and they don't need to get in touch with Automation Anywhere."
"Good templates means that all basics are pre-defined."
 

Cons

"Lacks sufficient keywords and templates."
"The quality of the service needs to be improved."
"If even a small change is made to a PDF format, IQ Bot may fail to read it and require me to go back and create a new learning instance."
"There are issues with the technology identifying a signature."
"Lacks sufficient flexibility in identifying a wider variety of documents."
"IQ Bot needs to scale up further because many other industry products that are capable of capturing handwritten information are doing much better. So, it would be better if IQ Bot spent more time on handwritten data extraction."
"The solution could improve its accuracy when handling more complex documents, such as handwritten ones."
"It's not intuitive from a user standpoint."
"API configurations through control room could be improved a bit."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

Information not available
"IQ Bot is expensive compared to other solutions."
"The solution’s hardware cost is high."
"There are more affordable solutions than this."
"The product cost is relatively high compared to other tools in the market."
"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 pricing is complicated but I wouldn't say that they are expensive."
"If you make use of only a few bots, this solution is very cheap."
"The licensing is under usage per page, and I wouldn't recommend it."
