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.

Regional Director at a tech vendor with 10,001+ employees
Has raised concerns due to outdated framework and high ownership costs
Pega Robotic Process Automation is a temporary solution to a bigger issue, and the cost of implementation especially with Pega really stops customers from proceeding. The total cost of ownership could be improved. From a technical perspective, the product performs adequately. The installation can be quite complex as it's not standalone, and customers need to get the whole Pega platform up and running. The total cost of ownership is not very attractive. RPA as a concept is outdated now, with agentic AI becoming more prominent. We don't see much interest from customers in going down the RPA route; Pega Robotic Process Automation is losing its prominence in the market.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"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."
"Automation Anywhere is quite easy to use for users who are not technical, especially business users."
"It really does have a great dashboard. It has Bot Insight, it has MetaBots, and IQ Bots. It has so many features where it can read a file and loop."
"Stability is great."
"Even a non-IT or business user can just look at the bot language and understand what the bot is doing, and that's the easy part."
"The Visual Studio integration is smooth and user-friendly."
"OCR, Image Recognition, Object Cloning, and PDF integration help us a lot."
"It gives us the capability of leveraging our investments in different applications. I can use Automation Anywhere to tie a number of applications or processes together, without having to do in-depth coding to automate something."
"ElectroNeek was extremely easy to use, especially its UI was easy to navigate with limited training."
"We find the OCR feature very valuable, due to the corrector recognition that it provides; this is very useful for document processing."
"The cost is the best thing about ElectroNeek."
"The most valuable feature is the price."
"The product's setup is straightforward."
"The solution is user-friendly with a really good UI and ID."
"It's a very stable product."
"We have found that it brings more efficiency and effectiveness to routine tasks."
"In terms of measuring efficiency gains from automating routine compliance tasks in financial services with Pega Robotic Process Automation, automation consistently yields a 25 to 30% efficiency increase."
"The solution's automation handling capability has positively impacted the overall automation process in my experience."
"We have a very large operational team and we are able to avoid mistakes and ensure accuracy and speed using Pega."
"The good thing about Pega is that it is very flexible and you can do a lot so the capabilities are broad."
"With Pega Robotics, once we integrated it will work with any machines after deployment until there is a change."
"The low-code/no-code development aspect of the solution is great."
"It helped cut short the release cycle by almost 40% compared to the previous solution.​"
"The feature I like best in Pega Robotic Process Automation is that I'm able to add external DLL section codes. I can inject the JavaScript, and I can write VB.NET, C#.NET, and DLL codes, then inject those codes into the existing process. Mainly, from a development perspective, I like that feature a lot, so if anything is not supported by Pega Robotic Process Automation, then I can build that either in JavaScript or in .NET, then use those functions within the IP."
 

Cons

"Improvements that can be made are: It should be easier to automate tasks on a virtual machine that uses a different environment altogether."
"Room for improvement is more on the IQ Bot side: How quickly we can adopt and deploy it?"
"Some of the biggest improvements they can make are with the interface. It can be improved in terms of usability or searching for something. For example, icons are hard to find. Typically, you jump into the search box, but being able to go in and find things quickly with the eye could be very valuable."
"Automation Anywhere's current requirement for upfront annual payments limits flexibility for customers."
"A lot more can be done to make the solution easy for developer to use."
"While using IQ Bot we found that data extraction accuracy is a bit weaker in semi-structured documents compared with structured documents. We would like to see improvement in the data extraction part of Automation Anywhere IQ Bot."
"The AI centricity is a bit behind compared to the way we see Microsoft and AWS doing it. This is the feedback that I have also given to them. They need to expand themselves to provide more services than just RPA. Only RPA may not be enough for us, and it would not be our preferred choice for an automation tool."
"We have had a lot of issues using Automation Anywhere and find ourselves stuck."
"The integrating capability of the product needs to be improved, to ensure that it works with all systems involved in a process."
"The pricing is an area with a shortcoming, and from an improvement perspective, it needs to be made cheaper."
"Its price could definitely be lower."
"ElectroNeek comes with three activities and we cannot add activities like we can with uiPADs."
"The solution works well with Google Chrome, but not with Microsoft Edge, which is the browser we use for automation."
"I think that this solution could improve remote desktop interactions."
"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."
"It's not applicable to very large enterprises and for difficult work or more complex processes."
"The handwritten structured and semi-structured data recognition accuracy is much lower and is an area that definitely needs to improve."
"I feel like it doesn't get updated frequently enough. There aren't a lot of new features or a clear roadmap for future improvements."
"The OCR capabilities of the solution could be improved."
"You cannot use a two-dimensional array to read the data."
"Rule versioning and deployment to enable parallel development could still be improved​"
"Pega Robotic Process Automation scalability is too low."
"Pega's main drawback was that you have to go and install their platform and their platform is meant to be their main selling point with robotics just a small part of what they do."
"They have tied the deployment with the Pega BPM product, the robot manager. You need to have the BPM installed."
