Venkat Sivaprakash - PeerSpot reviewer
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.

Enables efficient information extraction with strong OCR capabilities
The solution itself is valuable due to its ability to classify and extract information with embedded OCR, which is good. ABBYY has a very good OCR in both Arabic and English. Additionally, they have a new version called Vantage, which is cloud-based. However, we still work with the old version because most of our clients are government entities.
Ross Macadam - PeerSpot reviewer
Director at iicon ltd
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

"By combining Automation Anywhere and Appian together, we have been able to build a bot that works with Appian workflows to manage all our employees."
"With Discovery Bot, we can even have our business people enabled with process finding and do an evaluation on whether it can be converted into an opportunity."
"The solution's most valuable feature is its ease of use."
"I'd say there are new useful features that will definitely help us as we do more development in the near future."
"There is a very accelerated learning curve on the platform."
"AA control room is one central system to manage our tasks. We found it excellent to administrate. It was used for easy scheduling of process/task in Remote desktop. This helped to avoid manual intervention to trigger tasks."
"Customers also are looking for the kinds of solutions that help enable their workforces to be more effective."
"Automation Anywhere includes IQ Bots. So, IQ Bots is the key part of Automation Anywhere. You can work on any type of PDF, images, invoices, or billing things in any company. You can just upload it and extract the data, then use it as you require. It is a key part of Automation Anywhere: the best part."
"Its OCR Engine is very successful, and it is the leading OCR Engine. It also has NLP support."
"The solution itself is valuable due to its ability to classify and extract information with embedded OCR, which is good."
"Competitively, I think ABBYY is better than other OCR tools."
"The OTR (Optical Text Recognition) is the most valuable feature of this solution."
"By using FlexiCapture's integration with UiPath, we are able to automate a lot of complex processes and save time."
"The OCR is the best on the market."
"Abbyy is really good in terms of reading OCR."
"Compared to other tools, ABBYY Vantage is better because it's very user-friendly."
"Being able to extract data from documents is great, and the capability of this tool is great as it can replace legacy applications and make everything very easy."
"Since it provides both Capture and BPM on a single platform, it stands on its own in the business process improvement space."
"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 can be a good product for BPM; you can do BPM projects with it, do case management and capture extraction with Kofax TotalAgility, and it can also integrate quite seamlessly with third-party applications, so it is quite good."
"However, this solution is stable, and I have not seen any issues so far."
"This is a great product, a BPM tool with capture facilities."
"The AI-powered features are incredibly important for operational efficiency; they are a game changer in terms of the accuracy of OCR and ICR."
"However, if you want different capabilities and other things, then definitely, Kofax is the very best tool."
 

Cons

"We have had a lot of issues using Automation Anywhere and find ourselves stuck."
"Cost-wise, it should be reduced."
"Automation Anywhere is a technical application. It is not so easy for a regular user. It requires technical knowledge."
"Debugging can be particularly tricky; identifying the exact reasons for bot failures can be time-consuming."
"It would be great if there will be a built-in machine learning model available in the AA, so the developer can directly map it with their task and train the model accordingly."
"An additional feature we would like to see is the inclusion of a particular kind of scripting in the development environment itself."
"We would like to be able to directly implement automation for Word documents and XML."
"Instead of depending on other open-source BPM products, AA should provide their own BPM for attended automations."
"The on-premise web version doesn't seem to be intuitive or easy to use or install."
"The price for trainings or certifications are on the very, very high side."
"The recognition intelligence could improve by having more details in the documents. There are limitations with the forms, templates, and manuscripts."
"One of the clients was expecting us to use the cognitive capabilities of FlexiCapture, but FlexiCapture is not that cognitive."
"ABBYY Vantage needs to incorporate interfaces similar to cloud and OpenAI chat to streamline workflows."
"It would be good if the product provided an AI-based prebuilt model that predicts and gives output."
"I would have liked to see them make it easier for business users to implement themselves."
"The solution needs more web or cloud-based development."
"They never stressed the lifecycle document management aspects of regulated processes effectively, which I think possibly represents a weakness."
"APM observability is something that doesn't exist in TotalAgility."
"It would be nice if the tool has more connectors to different systems. It is an expensive solution."
"The one thing I would like to see more of right now: is a simplified form creation. That would be the most significant improvement I would like to see in their product."
"Kofax TotalAgility is quite vast and complex as a product. We came from Kofax Capture and Kofax Transformation, then we started learning Kofax TotalAgility, so there are a lot of things that were quite straightforward in the Kofax Capture and Kofax Transformation cross-motion modules, but to do those in Kofax TotalAgility was a bit more complex or quite long-winded and could be improved. In the next release of Kofax TotalAgility, it would be good to have a straightforward low-code or no-code process because there were instances we struggled with having to put logic into a script or a .NET script, then calling that script, instead of the process being low-code, no-code."
"The Transformation Designer of KTA can be made better."
"The form development could be improved."
"Kofax needs to improve the low-code or citizen developers rather than focusing on other cloud solutions for data extraction."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Its price is competitive with all other products in the market."
"We only deal in annual licenses. There are no pay-as-you-go licenses."
"The cost is anywhere between $10,000 and $100,000."
"I really enjoy the pricing options with Automation Anywhere, as they are able to flex their ability to adapt to the needs of the customer really well."
"UiPath is exceptionally more expensive than Automation Anywhere. UiPath is far ahead of its competition, but in terms of finances, Automation Anywhere offers better value and is more effective for organizations seeking cost-effective solutions."
"We were paying approximately $30,000 for a year license."
"It is somewhere in the middle. The price and value of Automation Anywhere are better than UiPath. The pricing is good globally. It could be a little bit cheaper, but it is good."
"The starting price, which is a one-off fee is a bit high and this may deter mid and small-sized companies from acquiring and decide to shun the platform."
"You need to purchase user licenses, and you also need to purchase the license for the pages. User licenses are required for your developers to use the developer tools, and you also need to ensure that there is a pool of licenses for the business users so that they can log in and perform their activities."
"The price of this ABBYY FlexiCapture is a bit expensive and the price is based on how many documents have been captured. For example, one or two million captures."
"We were able to qualify for a reasonable price. The price is in the low to medium range compared to other solutions."
"The price per page is high."
"They have a trial license that is limited to a certain number of pages. The paid license varies from six months to one year depending on the number of documents that need to be processed."
"ABBYY is fairly priced."
"For us, the price is reasonable."
"Its price is a little bit high and can be lower. Its licensing is very expensive. I don't remember exactly, but for each page, it is about four or seven cents, which is too expensive."
"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."
"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."
"Kofax TotalAgility is very expensive."
