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.

With an easy initial setup phase in place, the tool needs to provide functionalities like web scraping to users
It is a very scalable solution. In ElectroNeek, you can build your project in modular programming or with the use of sub-programs. You can have a lot of sub-programs that make up a whole project. If you don't wanna use the drag-and-drop activities, you can use JavaScript or Python instead. So it's very useful when you are working with things such as SPS. Actually, you can write scripts to support all the product functionalities with Python and manage the product's functions. You will find a company named Apollo Studios on the website of ElectroNeek. I think they are one of the best companies in South Africa that entered into a partnership with ElectroNeek.

President and COO at a computer software company with 51-200 employees
Good data ingestion and classification capabilities, supports various media types and formats, and the interface is easy to use
Currently, we're still using version 2-7-2, and now they're about to do the beta release on their version 2021. In this coming version, we expect that some of our issues will be fixed. We've had challenges in classification tasks where similar documents were flagged as multiple matches. The system would identify them and say, "Hey, I think I've got multiple matches. It could either be this one or that one." Because of that, it required us to instruct the system to either leave it unclassified, or we had to halt the process for somebody to look at it. With the new version for 2021, they have changed the paradigm. As it is now, we're using something called a form type, where pages within the document are referenced using a specific page number. For example, in a ten-page document, you might refer to information specifically on the first or fifth page. In the new paradigm, there is a first, middle, and last page concept, as opposed to having the different form types with all of the different pages. What they're telling me is that it's going to make the classification more accurate. Just because the first page of two different documents looks the same, they will not be considered duplicates. Having multiple points of reference will now allow it to better distinguish them. The other area we have had challenges with is table extractions, where if the data headers were not defined, or the tables did not have descriptions for the columns. My understanding is that in the 2021 version, they've now shown that they're handling that. Again, we don't have it and haven't been able to test it, but it's coming. Technical support is definitely an area that they need improvement in, in terms of the front-line individuals.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The integrations with the OCR engines in Automation Anywhere are quite powerful, and they have helped us in many projects."
"Automation Anywhere (AA) is really fast on the development side. It's an efficient and intelligent RPA tool, with a good engine and good connectors."
"The saving of efforts within my project has been to the tune of 20% as of now and I am sure that it will improve as we explore the tool more and automate many more processes."
"Automation is going to become a new area we will certainly encourage a lot of people to pursue because of the lasting dividends it provides, including saving time and manpower."
"The scheduling feature allows for scheduling of the bots to a specific time every day, which helped remove the dependency on humans completely."
"The character extraction capability of IQ Bot is much, much better than the other OCR (Optical Character Recognition) engines that you have in the market today."
"As a solution, Automation Anywhere is complete for business users and developers."
"Automation Anywhere has helped save many man-hours in my organization by letting us automate monotonous and repetitive tasks."
"The product's setup is straightforward."
"The product's initial setup phase was easy."
"It's a very stable product."
"I would advise others to go for it and just implement it; it is a really good solution."
"My favorite feature is that you can have unlimited bots without having to buy more licenses. That's a powerful option for scalability."
"We have found that it brings more efficiency and effectiveness to routine tasks."
"ElectroNeek was extremely easy to use, especially its UI was easy to navigate with limited training."
"The solution is user-friendly with a really good UI and ID."
"The user interface is easy to use, and the flexibility is noteworthy."
"Using Grooper has sped up our data entry process between two and eight times, depending on the exact process."
"With Grooper, the old archive of information can be obtained with the models we built."
"In certain types of jobs, I would estimate that using Grooper saves us 70% of the time it normally takes to complete it."
"Lexicons where the key vocabulary can be inputted it is very helpful."
"So now we're doing stuff that takes literally minutes, or even sometimes seconds, and we've reduced the labor by a hundredfold."
"There are many options and customizations that you can make to each individual extractor that allows you to tweak it for exactly what you need."
"Grooper processes difficult sorts of data and unstructured or semi-structured content very well. It's probably one of the better solutions I've seen compared to other solutions I've seen out there. It does a lot more things like segmentation extraction. It does it a lot better. Grooper has more focus on these types of freeform documents where other solutions are very generic and this is a little more elaborate in what they've done. I think they take it to the next level of extracting freeform data."
 

Cons

"Automation Anywhere lacks a desktop version and is solely web-based and cloud-based. Automation Anywhere is not so easy for business users who are not technical."
"Automation Anywhere should improve its OCR capabilities."
"It is not able to use OCR effectively and has limited usability."
"One of the main concerns with Automation Anywhere is the lack of a robust feature for capturing and managing information from the user interface, something competitors like Blue Prism already offer."
"The mobile application can be improved by adding more functions and capabilities abuse right now, only a few features are enabled for mobile users."
"I would like to have a command that allows me to add code, like C#. As a developer, this would be helpful."
"I noticed that from version 10.5 to 11.3 the number of clicks to start a bot through the Control Room and Schedule Manager have increased."
"If the option were available to use the old generic-style variable type, it would be helpful."
"I think that this solution could improve remote desktop interactions."
"The solution works well with Google Chrome, but not with Microsoft Edge, which is the browser we use for automation."
"Its price could definitely be lower."
"The integrating capability of the product needs to be improved, to ensure that it works with all systems involved in a process."
"When I wanted to use web scraping for tables in web applications, I found through online forums that such functionality or activity is currently not working as it shows."
"ElectroNeek comes with three activities and we cannot add activities like we can with uiPADs."
"It's not applicable to very large enterprises and for difficult work or more complex processes."
"The solution needs to improve its stability."
"If Grooper could "sense" important fields on the document and auto-build extractors for them, that'd be really cool."
"They should have more sub-extractors or exclusion extractors so that the user does not have to make a parent data type."
"Technical support is definitely an area that they need improvement in, in terms of the front-line individuals."
"There are few bugs that my superior has posted in the Grooper exchange that concerned errors with the OCR."
"Technical support is definitely an area that they need improvement in, in terms of the front-line individuals."
"Grooper is new. It's new beta stuff, so we've had some issues, but that's understandable."
"Grooper is new. It's new beta stuff, so we've had some issues, but that's understandable. Getting the beta product to more of a true release is where it needs improvement. I'm going through training now, so it's hard to judge what they have and don't have until I get through that training. Training is the main thing for me because I'm trying to learn and take things I've learned from other products and try to transfer that knowledge to this one."
"If Grooper could "sense" important fields on the document and auto-build extractors for them, that'd be really cool."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"AA comes at a more affordable price than the other tools."
"Our pricing a year ago was $600 per license."
"From my experience, I can say that the initial setup cost is easily recovered over a period of time once the bots start running in production."
"As far as costs, it depends on your use. We started with a basic department pack, which is over 10K. The additional costs depend on the scale of the engagement and how it pans out. We customize to our needs on the go."
"Automation Anywhere University is pretty good. They make it available free for everyone."
"The price of this product is good."
"It costs up to $1,200 per license."
"The ROI is really good. We have saved time and money."
"Its price could definitely be lower. Its licensing is on a yearly basis. There is no additional cost to the standard licensing fees."
"It's very affordable and the licensing is billed on a yearly basis."
"I give the price an eight out of ten."
"My company has made a payment towards the purchase of a license from ElectorNeek."
"On a scale of one to ten, where one is cheap, and ten is expensive, I rate the pricing a seven."
"I believe we had a Silver Membership or something similar annually."
"Know how many pages you will be needing to process, as the pricing is based on that."
"Overall, their pricing is higher than the competitors, but they offer functionality that is otherwise not available."
