Management Consultant at Accenture
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.

Good dashboard with easy tracking feature; lacks sufficient templates
Our use case of this product is for invoice processing. We tested it on a small project to get a comparison with UiPath. I am a user of this product and an intern in the company.  It's great that the solution doesn't require coding. If you input an invoice, it reads all the fields automatically…

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

"It has helped us look at how our processes are organized."
"I like all of the product features, but I mostly like to work with IQ Bots because they have cognitive automation capabilities."
"There is one user registration process in one application where there is no API which has been published by that framework. This is a very proprietary in one application by a third-party. So, there was a help desk, and whenever a call went to the help desk, they had a front-end where they created these user registrations. Now, this is completely automated for all employees who are onboarded. We receive the data, it is put it into Excel, and from Excel, it will update it into the particular tool where the registration happens."
"When anybody talks about Robotic Process Automation, Automation Anywhere is the first thing that comes to my mind."
"The thing I appreciate most about Automation Anywhere is how integrated the aspects of it are."
"Within one minute we can view more than one thousand students and their results."
"The setup is straightforward. Automation Anywhere provides customer success managers to help with the setup."
"The most valuable feature is the screen recorder, which helps to automate processes easily."
"Automation Hero has all of that as an inbuilt feature, it's very user-friendly and doesn't require a lot of manual work."
"Dashboard is good and the product doesn't require coding."
"The initial setup is easy."
"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 ability to train itself is a good, valuable feature. It is one of the most stable RPA products at present. Installation is easy for IQ Bot, and they provide good technical support."
"IQ Bot's connectivity to various cloud service providers is beneficial."
"Our mainframe-based and web-based projects are working well, with no issues."
"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."
"This tool automates it all and things are processed more accurately and quickly."
"The efficiency with which it was able to categorize the different data types and the format."
 

Cons

"We have been looking at processes which can easily transition into a large scale environment, where you can have cloud or hybrid model. However, being a bank, some of our processes are critical and we would like to hold those on-premise. This limits us with our usage of Automation Anywhere."
"There is room for improvement in terms of costs and procurement considerations."
"Although the UI and elements are user-friendly, it is still difficult for business users without experience to understand how to use Automation Anywhere."
"I don't find a lot outside of the internal community forum."
"We would like to see more capability for integration and more customization available with some features."
"Automation Anywhere could add more tools to track the processes and ROI, so we can get a better understanding of the cost savings and compliance. We heavily track those metrics and make them available to the leadership for review."
"They could improve around continuous integration, e.g., Jenkins and GitHub, stating how you could use those products and integrating them into Automation Anywhere."
"Although, IQ Bot has data being extracted from it. It can improve with more features, like handwritten copies that are readable."
"Lacks sufficient keywords and templates."
"I wouldn't say the product is totally scalable or 100% reliable. I'm not sure that an organization should depend on this tool 100%."
"When you update to a new version, you have to migrate your applications."
"The solution's predictive model can be improved in terms of accuracy."
"It's not intuitive from a user standpoint."
"The percentage of accuracy is very low. When I put documents in IQ Bot and the document format gets changed, IQ Bot puts that in the validation queue. If you are uploading 100 documents, the IQ Bot accepts only 60 documents. 40% or 30% of documents go to the validation queue. Accuracy is way low. They need to improve their accuracy level. It should be at least 90%."
"IQ Bot uses an API OCR engine. At times, they can't accommodate some text in Korean. Also, Korean characters are not cognitive at times."
"The product is expensive."
"It was challenging to have to do the pre-processing and tax inputting on our own."
"We don't get any kind of technical support or training for IQ Bot. There's a total lack of communication from them."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"I have heard that Automation Anywhere is expensive."
"It is reasonable and affordable. If you consider the tasks that we can get done using this, the pricing is reasonable and affordable."
"They're very flexible around pricing and licensing."
"Automation Anywhere is cheaper than UiPath and Blue Prism. From a market point of view, Automation Anywhere is reasonable. Any organization can adopt Automation Anywhere."
"The licensing cost for Automation Anywhere is high."
"Regarding the price, licensing, and maintenance, Automation Anywhere provides its customers with its best and affordable value."
"It is not cheap, but we are able to get an ROI."
"Licensing for Automation Anywhere (AA) is paid on a yearly basis. Out of all the RPA tools, it has the most value for money, e.g. what you pay is what you get."

"There are more affordable solutions than this."
"It's expensive."
"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 cost can be high."
"Pricing is highly confidential because it is something that can be negotiated."
"The product’s price is always in the higher range."
"The price of IQ Bot could improve by being less expensive."
"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."
