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.

Gave a better output every time, reduced our touch time by 80%, and had a robust reporting mechanism to improve the process
We tested HyperScience on structured formats of the forms, and it worked really well. We tested it with semi-structured formats, and it worked well. We also tested creating a new form that does not have any format. HyperScience has less capability while working on unstructured forms. Unstructured forms are those where there is no standard structure and the information can be anywhere on the form. They need to develop this capability. Such a capability would make it a perfect system for processes like data entry, accounts tables, etc. Secondly, before putting the actual volume in the tool, I believe that we have to create a manual form every time. If the procedure of creating the forms can be shortened or automated, it would help. It would reduce the manual effort of creating a form every time you start working on it. There should be an automated form creation system that does not require any manual intervention. Whenever a new form comes, the system should be able to create a dummy form for that. That will help.

Valuable connectivity and coherent solutions simplify maintenance but require cost adjustments for industry-based needs
There are areas of improvement, especially in having industry-based solutions that we could easily tap on. It would help reduce the time spent on feeding information and creating outputs. More flexibility and specific models for specific purposes would be beneficial. Additionally, pricing is a concern as IQ Bot is considered costly.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"We have the MetaBot feature, which is valuable because we can read reusable components in the MetaBot, then use them as a framework."
"Automation Anywhere has equipped us with amazing tools including Bot Insight, IQ Bot, Discovery Bot, etc."
"Features such as MetaBot and IQ Bot are very advanced and capable as compared to reading PDFs using OCR."
"We are having a very good experience with this product."
"Sometimes the customer will not provide any data. Using Automation Anywhere, we can easily automate to capture the customer data. Then, we can use that customer data inside the Cisco Unified Wire Voice Portal."
"Our workforce has limited capacity, and by adding this solution we can increase the amount of work coming in without adding to our workforce."
"There are many features that are valuable including Whatsapp messages, OCR, and image recognization, but I have not tried all of them."
"Because of this product's features, I would rate Automation Anywhere as a game changer."
"It provides the best accuracy for handwritten forms, which is a struggle in the industry. You can take processes with a lot of manual work and streamline them through this tool."
"What I liked more about HyperScience was the quality of the OCR it is a lot better compared to Google."
"Has algorithms that can detect a document template even if the image has a lot of distortions."
"Valuable features include tools like IQ Bot and the ability to extract handwritten documents with 93-95 per cent accuracy, which can be improved using ML technology."
"We have seen pretty good accuracy."
"If accuracy and customer satisfaction are your goals, then you should go for this solution."
"HyperScience is good for structured and semi-structured document extraction and it's easy to learn."
"Having a tool like HyperScience which facilitates the process of converting digital copies of the scanned documents and provides us with the extracted data has helped us to facilitate further automation."
"IQ Bot's best features are its variety of outputs and how it handles structured documents."
"It's quite easy to use, you just have to map the filter to keep it going."
"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."
"The most valuable feature is the ease of use and the new feature that makes it possible to integrate the platform with Google."
"IQ Bot is quite user-friendly. And the drag-and-drop option is there, which makes the developer more comfortable."
"The efficiency with which it was able to categorize the different data types and the format."
"I personally feel that the c-extraction feature is valuable. After training it for a particular document, we can see the extractions there. Other than that, it has other features like Python scripting in-built, and these are the features that I feel stand out."
"Another valuable feature of IQ Bot is data extraction."
 

Cons

"Automation Anywhere should add a couple of commands which will help most developers not to always use a script, a good example is in String operations."
"Now, it is a big complex to download the product and install it, then again to install the patches. So, it takes a lot of time to download it."
"The stability of this solution depends on the processes, but I think that there is room for improvement in this regard."
"Off the top of my head, I cannot think of anything that they would need to improve on, but there are probably opportunities to explore some potential use cases where maybe there is a feature that is not yet available. We can discover and pioneer something together."
"We have explored the AI Agent Studio in our automation process, and we have done some POCs with a couple of use cases that created value for us. However, we have encountered some technical challenges, which is why we haven't proceeded with production yet."
"Sometimes, in Automation Anywhere, the recording process takes longer when capturing tasks on websites or applications, and there can be internal errors."
"Automation Anywhere can be improved by offering more integration with many more applications."
"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."
"Extracting tables from certain documents could be improved."
"One area is where there are multiple tables in the same form I have seen HyperScience struggle."
"The product's usability could be better."
"The solution is expensive."
"The product's usability could be better. The first pain point is that we're getting the output in a different format, and we were expecting a different timetable. The second point is that if you want better results, HyperScience says you have to configure a minimal PDF or a maximum of 400 PDFs. If you want results with 400 PDFs for what's written by these doctors, then you also configure the maximum of 400 templates for that. So, it's essentially a lack of support from HyperScience. In the next release, it would be better if failure scenarios were reduced. It would also help if they offered different formats, inputs or injections, and added different scenarios."
"HyperScience has less capability while working on unstructured forms. Unstructured forms are those where there is no standard structure and the information can be anywhere on the form. They need to develop this capability."
"The solution lacks support for a greater range of languages."
"HyperScience is a stable solution, but there are some improvements needed in terms of the language support and support of dictionaries."
"I rate this solution a four out of ten based on our experience."
"It's not intuitive from a user standpoint."
"It would be good if the solution could extract or capture details from unstructured data."
"The product algorithms could be improved to increase accuracy. We currently need to make regular adjustments, constantly retraining the product to cover all cases."
"Technical support was very convenient previously, about one and half years ago, but now, it is not as good. Even the support persons that we contact can't give us a solution."
"It would be helpful if the solution was better at reading handwriting. It needs better handwriting recognition."
"Initially, there was one issue when we were trying to switch from a development environment to a production environment. We needed to transpose or expose a bot to the production environment, and we had some issues where the in-built input feature stopped working for extended periods."
"Lacks sufficient flexibility in identifying a wider variety of documents."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Approximately, for a developer, it is around $750 for a license a year. For Bot Runners, it is about $550."
"They sell it by license, but if they could charge by case or by interaction, that might be better. Right now, it's expensive when you want to scale or use them for simple processes."
"We just did a round of price comparison on a global scale and found it's so hard to compare the license prices. But, Automation Anywhere, in general, is on the same price level as the other vendors, a bit lower in some cases."
"The licensing cost could be improved. It costs a lot. At the very least, the developer licenses and the control panels should be made free to enterprises, and the production environment licensed."
"It's a bit expensive compared to other RPA tools on the market."
"They all are very competitive today. At the end of the day, it boils down to the negotiations that happen and what type of partner you are."
"More than 40 to 50 percent of the IT budget will be for the cost of automation projects in the coming years since these projects enhance operations add value."
"It is one of the most affordable RPA solutions, and as for licensing, they offer a community edition that greatly helps anyone who aspires to learn about the product before buying the enterprise solution."
"I don't have any idea about the licensing costs, but I know that there was a per-page charge. They had different models of pricing. One of them was based on the minimum number of pages, and we had a fixed price. So, the price model depends on the volume that is coming through HyperScience."
"I think HyperScience is cheaper when compared to other tools. They also have a lifetime licensing option."
"It's expensive."
"The licensing is on a yearly basis, and I am happy with the pricing."
"Pricing is highly confidential because it is something that can be negotiated."
"The product cost is relatively high compared to other tools in the market."
"There are others like Automation Anywhere offering similar kinds of bots for less. Most of the platforms are the same, and most of the features are the same, but not the licensing cost."
"The package that includes Automation Anywhere and IQ Bot starts at $10,000 USD."
"It is based on the stages and on a yearly basis."
"It has an average cost."
