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.

Has faced challenges adapting to evolving capture methods and competitive integrations
It's difficult to say what I'd improve in Tungsten TotalAgility because we haven't been actively marketing that particular product in the last probably six to nine months. The speed of product development means that my experience with it is likely out of date in terms of the product suite capabilities. The difficulty with customers nowadays is that they are subject to the winds of change in terms of the adoption of cloud technologies and the offerings those cloud technologies bring. Microsoft, for instance, is rapidly filling in the spaces between various product areas that other vendors typically owned. That makes it difficult for customers to settle on their functional requirements because the offers are competing in the same space. I look for more integration with mainstream subscription based platforms, more security integration, and possibly some more lifecycle management features. However, the difficulty with that is the competition with existing options that people have in their subscription library.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"Automating back-office processes and automation workflows has positively impacted my organization, as before automating, the human effort has been significantly reduced, and we can cut off three to four hours of their work per day and reduce it by using this bot, reducing the daily task from four hours to 30 minutes and saving three and a half hours per day or 70 hours over 20 working days."
"We mostly used the Database commands in order to make the process faster and more secure, rather than using Excel or a CSV for reading the input files."
"Business process automation has improved the efficiency and accuracy of processes and reduced manual efforts which can be utilized in value addition for the firm."
"We have found that the automation bots we have developed give great savings in terms of higher productivity and efficiency."
"Business users utilize Bot Insight dashboards to get analysis."
"The whole suite of RPA modules that they have is very good. They have three environments in which you can do your automation. You have development, staging, and production environments. These are run by licenses as well, which is very good. There are a lot of ways of automating processes with this application."
"I utilize all the commands provided by Automation Anywhere, such as all the recorders. I use these commands to develop my processes and bots."
"Automation Anywhere has led to faster growth in our organization."
"Has algorithms that can detect a document template even if the image has a lot of distortions."
"For our use case, it provided a complete workflow, reduced our existing touch time by 80%, and from the point of view of technology, it is one of the leading platforms right now in the OCR world."
"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."
"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."
"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."
"I like that compared to other tools, HyperScience works best with handwritten documents."
"HyperScience is good for structured and semi-structured document extraction and it's easy to learn."
"If accuracy and customer satisfaction are your goals, then you should go for this solution."
"This is a great product, a BPM tool with capture facilities."
"Since it provides both Capture and BPM on a single platform, it stands on its own in the business process improvement space."
"Data extraction and auto-classification are great features."
"Kofax is very easy to use, UI-friendly and allows easy data extraction."
"It is user-friendly and has good documentation. It's good for developing communication and has a lot of the APIs needed for this purpose. There aren't a lot of software options available from this time period; this is the only one from 2013 that has this concept of microservices."
"It's not so complex to design what you need to."
"However, this solution is stable, and I have not seen any issues so far."
"Kofax TotalAgility is a great design tool for reading handwritten invoices."
 

Cons

"Document Automation has issues related to speed. When I compare Document Automation with IQ Bot, IQ Bot is faster than Document Automation."
"I would like to have a command that allows me to add code, like C#. As a developer, this would be helpful."
"It needs to have more options for integrating with other tools."
"Blue Prism is more secure than Automation Anywhere. E.g., Blue Prism has a system that is difficult to penetrate. You can't simply go into their system and make any changes."
"Another feature that would be cool to see in Automation Anywhere is more use of artificial intelligence."
"There is a small thing from a development point of view. There should be a static site box for finding any command if I am writing a code. If there are hundreds of functions, you can only scroll up and down to find one each one. There should be a site box where we can find the commands and easily use them."
"Though IQ Bot is the most powerful and effective cognitive OCR platform for data extraction in the market, still, there is a lot of scope for improvement as there are a lot of non-standard documents which do not give a high straight-through processing rate and accuracy."
"The Excel command has some limitations that they are working on."
"HyperScience could improve the unstructured data extraction feature."
"The product's usability could be better."
"They could work on the price and make it a bit more reasonable."
"HyperScience is a stable solution, but there are some improvements needed in terms of the language support and support of dictionaries."
"Extracting tables from certain documents could be improved."
"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 is expensive."
"One area is where there are multiple tables in the same form I have seen HyperScience struggle."
"I'd like to have better inbuilt features so that we could see some added value."
"The pricing for Kofax TotalAgility could be more attractive, particularly the cloud version of the solution which was offered to my company. This is its area for improvement."
"Kofax should improve its handwritten extractions."
"Kofax TotalAgility could improve the OTR engine. The page OTR engine is not accurate in predicting the data properly. If you provide many features which are good for business process management without an accurate OTR engine people will not want it."
"They provide sufficient but not excellent technical support. Perhaps there is a point where they could use some improvement."
"There needs to be more accessible certification and better pricing for Kofax TotalAgility."
"While the image, the field extraction, is really good in KTA, the OCR result is not so good."
"Kofax needs to improve the low-code or citizen developers rather than focusing on other cloud solutions for data extraction."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The cost is anywhere between $10,000 and $100,000."
"Our licensing costs are setup on an annual basis."
"Automation Anywhere offers a subscription-based licensing model for cloud, on-premises, and hybrid deployments."
"The pricing is a bit higher."
"Overall, the pricing of Automation Anywhere is good."
"They recently launched a Community Edition, which is okay, but they should have done this a long time ago."
"I would rate the cost of Automation Anywhere as a six out of ten, with ten being the most expensive."
"There may be room for the product to be more competitively priced to excel in the market."
"I think HyperScience is cheaper when compared to other tools. They also have a lifetime licensing option."
"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."
"The price of this solution is less than some of the competition."
"It has a perpetual license. You pay once in a lifetime for the volume of scans you will do and the number of users you will have. You can have participants or regular users, and you can have developers and administrators. So, once you purchase it, it is for a lifetime, and then every year, you have to pay for the maintenance. There is an annual maintenance cost, which is about 18% of the licensing cost."
"The licensing cost for Kofax TotalAgility is very expensive, though I'm unable to give you the range, the sales representatives of my company say that the product is quite expensive."
"Kofax TotalAgility is very expensive."
"It is slightly more expensive than other tools."
