Featured Reviews

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.
PrashanthR - PeerSpot reviewer
Great with recognition and provides a high level of confidence in terms of extraction capabilities
When it comes to machine print, this is an excellent solution with features you don't find in other tools. When dealing with handwritten text they have provided some A2iA locators that require a separate license. Even after implementing that, the handwritten text extraction was not great. Microsoft Azure does better at text extraction. If an organization is looking for OCR without the need to extract anything, then I would suggest a product such as Textract or another free software. If data extraction is needed for additional processes then I would recommend Kofax. I rate this solution eight out of 10

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"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."
"It offers a pretty simple setup process."
"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's connectivity to various cloud service providers is beneficial."
"It is very easy to set up and use this tool to get information from documents. It can get the information about the purchase order number, average, description of purchase orders in several formats without any problem."
"The ease that it provides in extracting vendor invoices, without having to configure them, was the reason for which we had gone with a solution."
"The extraction feature is the most valuable one of IQ Bot."
"The character recognition feature is very good."
"The product is really good, and it is easy to use. It comes with multiple integrations. The solution keeps up with the trend of Microsoft Copilot and AI."
"Its integration capabilities are valuable. It has low code/no code features. You have to do minimal coding."
"Kofax is very easy to use, UI-friendly and allows easy data extraction."
"Kofax TotalAgility is stable."
"Now it has an OCR, optical character recognition, engine where it can extract data from the document."
"The most valuable features of this solution are automation, ease of billing processes with the process net, and low to no code development."
"Great with recognition providing a high level of confidence."
"Kofax TotalAgility is a single package. They provide you with OCR capabilities, BPM capabilities, and case manager features."
 

Cons

"Lacks sufficient flexibility in identifying a wider variety of documents."
"The solution could improve its accuracy when handling more complex documents, such as handwritten ones."
"Product algorithms could be improved."
"There are certain things that OCR engines are not capable of handling currently. For example, OCR engines pick up a slash as a question mark. They also don't have the capability to handle subcolumns in a column. It would be really helpful if they can add more OCR engines with advanced capabilities to handle such scenarios. We need more cognitive abilities in the OCR engines to deal with the most complex scenarios. We also need more advanced capabilities so that IQ Bot can give better results in terms of PDF quality. This is because we cannot expect the same quality from all the vendors and customers, and there might be scenarios where we get some sort of scanned copies."
"The solution could improve by having more domain-specific templates, such as for documents other than invoices or contracts. For example, having templates for IDs or Passports."
"Pricing is a significant concern as IQ Bot is costly. The competition, particularly with hyperscalers like Azure and AWS, offers alternatives at one-tenth of the cost."
"The solution's predictive model can be improved in terms of accuracy."
"The price of IQ Bot, packaged with Automation Anywhere, is too expensive for some companies and they will not use it."
"It’s not truly low code yet, as every two or three projects, you will have a situation where you have to go behind the essential things. You will definitely still need to customize."
"There needs to be more accessible certification and better pricing."
"Table line item extraction is not possible through Quick Capture."
"Sometimes there isn't enough accuracy when it comes to extracts."
"It would be nice if the tool has more connectors to different systems. It is an expensive solution."
"They provide sufficient but not excellent technical support. Perhaps there is a point where they could use some improvement."
"Room for improvement would be better OCR functionality in terms of Arabic OCR. There should be better accuracy."
"Kofax needs to improve the low-code or citizen developers."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The price could be lower."
"The solution is cost-effective compared to other market tools."
"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."
"The solution’s hardware cost is high."
"The product’s price is always in the higher range."
"The cost can be high."
"IQ Bot's pricing is reasonable compared to other solutions but should be decreased further."
"It is based on the stages and on a yearly basis."
"Kofax TotalAgility is very expensive."
"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 price of this solution is less than some of the competition."
"It is slightly more expensive than other tools."
"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."
