Abdul Quadir - PeerSpot reviewer
It has a lot of functionality, whatever we use, but a few things could be improved
Extracting tables from certain documents could be improved. The next product release should include a utility that provides HyperScience JSON output. It would be related to any application, like other platforms and include Power Apps. We need to impact their REST API, but we would need a connection bridge application. And the second feature would be HyperScience providing different outputs. At present, HyperScience only provides JSON output. If a business needs a different output, we must create the utility ourselves and provide that data to XML or something similar. But if HyperScience could do that, we would no longer need third-party apps.
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

"Valuable features include tools like IQ Bot and the ability to extract handwritten documents with 93-95 per cent accuracy."
"We have seen pretty good accuracy."
"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."
"One of the most valuable features of HyperScience is the user-training module. Whenever the extraction takes place, based on the way we have trained HyperScience, it would give us some success status or a certain confidence level. If the solution has processed something that it determined was not extracted correctly it will queue those items for manual review."
"I like that compared to other tools, HyperScience works best with handwritten documents."
"Has algorithms that can detect a document template even if the image has a lot of distortions."
"What I liked more about HyperScience was the quality of the OCR it is a lot better compared to Google."
"The most valuable feature is the ease of use and the new feature that makes it possible to integrate the platform with Google."
"The most valuable feature is the intelligence it has with the ability to read the customer sales order and convert it into our own, despite minor changes in format."
"It's quite easy to use, you just have to map the filter to keep it going."
"I can train all the instances and properly adjust, inject Python code to find entities, and so on, and so forth."
"The flexibility to deploy based on the different types is the most valuable. We can deploy pieces of the program directly over the fields. We can also directly connect with databases. We can modify it and make different connections with the database. We are also able to programmably modify the fields and change the presentation and values or evaluate a list of values. We can change the values on the fly. It is very flexible and very easy to use and learn. It is also very simple."
"Training the model is very simple with IQ Bot's technology. It requires providing several examples of the type of document you want to evaluate. IQ Bot already has a built-in taxonomy, which is like a dictionary of elements commonly found in certain types of documents. For example, when evaluating an invoice, you will find elements, such as "total," "item descriptions," and "shipped to." This pre-existing taxonomy greatly speeds up the training process as it provides a starting point and structure, rather than starting from scratch."
"The best feature is that we can extract data from an image. That's why Automation Anywhere implemented IQ Bot. Otherwise, you cannot extract data from an image. Nowadays, every industry is scanning invoices and uploading them to some website or storing them on some shared drive. IQ Bot can do data extraction from the PDF format and the JPG format."
"IQ Bot uses AI technology to extract data from PDF files by analyzing and splitting a particular PDF file into separate groups."
 

Cons

"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."
"They could work on the price and make it a bit more reasonable."
"No solution is perfect and there are several different scenarios that could be improved in HyperScience. One area is where there are multiple tables in the same form I have seen HyperScience struggle. There is some issue with supporting the extraction from multiple tables involved on the same form. If this could improve, it would be a big benefit."
"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."
"Extracting tables from certain documents could be improved."
"HyperScience could improve the unstructured data extraction feature."
"The first place it could be improved is its price - it is too high. I'm having a lot of difficulty moving it to the customers."
"Better customization in terms of mapping would be an improvement."
"The product is expensive."
"I think Automation Anywhere has a partnership with Google. I hope they integrate Google's OCR engine in some way with IQ Bot because the OCR engine that Google produces provides an in-built accuracy of close to 99%. That is the integration we are looking for, but we need to pay for IQ Bot. If they can integrate both and come up with better pricing, then it will be a huge boost because, in that case, the quality of an image or PDF quality is taken completely out of difficulty as Google tends to extract the data. That is something I am looking for if this happens."
"There should be built-in or native intelligent processing capabilities."
"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."
"Lacks sufficient flexibility in identifying a wider variety of documents."
"Could improve with regard to hand-written documents."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"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."
"If you make use of only a few bots, this solution is very cheap."
"The solution is cost-effective compared to other market tools."
"With the Cloud, the price goes up and down. You only pay for what you use."
"The price of IQ Bot could improve by being less expensive."
"The licensing is under usage per page, and I wouldn't recommend it."
"It is based on the stages and on a yearly basis."
"The solution’s hardware cost is high."
"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."
