AK
Intern at a manufacturing company with 10,001+ employees
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…
RP
Director of Global Automation at a tech services company with 10,001+ employees
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

"Dashboard is good and the product doesn't require coding."
"The detection or extraction of data from the images in PDFs is the feature that I use the most. It is a good solution in terms of how easily you can administer or manage this tool. It is quite easy to use, and it is powerful in terms of what it can do."
"Good templates means that all basics are pre-defined."
"IQ Bot is quite user-friendly. And the drag-and-drop option is there, which makes the developer more comfortable."
"The valuable feature of IQ Bot is the AI functionality."
"In my experience, the product is very stable, and it works well with systems like JDE and Mainframes."
"The initial setup was satisfactory."
"IQ Bot's best features are its variety of outputs and how it handles structured documents."
"IQ Bot has the ability to easily capture objects. The latest version is far ahead of the competition. Most of the features are excellent, valuable, and easy to handle."
 

Cons

"Lacks sufficient keywords and templates."
"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."
"Migrating from the previous version to the current version is a little tricky."
"API configurations through control room could be improved a bit."
"One of the challenges that we faced was that the Automation Anywhere log files were being created and not cleaned up, which would eventually kill the bot."
"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."
"If even a small change is made to a PDF format, IQ Bot may fail to read it and require me to go back and create a new learning instance."
"It was challenging to have to do the pre-processing and tax inputting on our own."
"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%."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

Information not available
"The solution is cost-effective compared to other market tools."
"There are more affordable solutions than this."
"With the Cloud, the price goes up and down. You only pay for what you use."
"If you make use of only a few bots, this solution is very cheap."
"The licensing is on a yearly basis, and I am happy with the pricing."
"The licensing is under usage per page, and I wouldn't recommend it."
"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 pricing is reasonable."
