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.

Automated invoice conciliation has reduced manual checks and now delivers accurate OCR data
The best features Nanonets offers are OCR and integrations. These features have reduced manual efforts significantly. Currently, manual checking of data between the database and invoices is no longer necessary, as AI is now performing that work. Nanonets is an AI OCR model that I trained to deliver purposeful output. As an AI model, I can briefly describe and extract data from documents. Nanonets is primarily focused on documents, allowing me to extract data, compare it, and it is also useful for handwritten documents. It delivers output that is 99% accurate for handwritten documents as well. I consider Nanonets a good tool that I have worked with, and I have worked on its integration using Python.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"Document automation has indeed been beneficial in handling large volumes of documents in our organization, where we process product-related data sheets that range from 80 to 120 pages, efficiently extracting data that would take a human several hours to read manually."
"It has provided our organization a lot of benefits, as we have reduced our headcount, approximately 200 to 300 employees, by eliminating manual, repetitive work and providing profit to the business."
"Automation Anywhere's document automation, powered by IQ Bots and now enhanced with AI, stands out as a particularly valuable feature."
"We automated these processes so they will be processed automatically, and users will get the end result for validation—it is basically time-saving for them."
"The Control Room is the most valuable feature. This is where I can schedule a task. It runs 24/7, so it's a great feature that I love. If we are not in office, we can schedule something and leave, then the bot will run at the scheduled time."
"Using IQ Bot, we can extract more data out from the documents that are unstructured."
"Overall, the product is very good where the repetitive tasks are more in manufacturing industries and the finance department."
"One thing that I want to highlight AA for is their security standards."
"Nanonets has positively impacted my organization by providing a solution that works for us as developers."
"The accuracy percentage of Nanonets was around 92-93%, which has had a high impact because it has reduced approximately 9.2 FTEs in manual efforts."
"The best features Nanonets offers include their workflow and OCR detection capabilities, which have positively impacted my organization by helping detect edge cases in OCR that require some post-processing or pre-processing and have improved efficiency and reduced errors."
 

Cons

"While the ease of use for non-tech users is good, it could be improved."
"From an IT perspective, we had too many issues and headaches."
"The original setup was easy. What was difficult was adding licenses. I went a month where I was paying for licenses that I couldn't use, for various reasons. That was painful."
"When comparing the code under version checks, although there is a change done, it doesn't say so because the change is done at the variable level and not in the line of code."
"An option should be provided to disable the flow and dual-mode since those are not used often by the developers, and hence take up extra space on the screen."
"I would like to see them expand the service catalog with RCA add-ons to the current RPA package."
"They could improve the environmental stabilizing issues. There are a lot of environmental issues when rolling over from one environment to another, higher environment. This is the one thing they definitely need to look into."
"Reporting could be better because there is a little bit of overkill in getting information about the utilization of the bot license. This could be a little bit improved."
"Nanonets can be improved with a larger number of samples and test scenarios."
"I have observed that while training Nanonets, we must provide a larger number of examples or documents."
"I think Nanonets can be improved as the pricing seems to be a bit high, which is one of the things they should improve."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"It's a bit expensive compared to other RPA tools on the market."
"They're very flexible around pricing and licensing."
"The solution's pricing is pretty decent."
"Considering the cost, it is a bit high, but worth the price because the output accuracy is high."
"Currently, it stands as one of the more expensive RPA tools available."
"We're paying a monthly subscription fee for the bot and for services. There are no additional costs beyond the standard licensing fee."
"Automation Anywhere is somewhat expensive. The prices are slightly higher, but if you need something, you must pay for it."
"Our costs are approximately between $5,000 to $10,000 per license."
