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 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."
"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."
"IQ Bot uses AI technology to extract data from PDF files by analyzing and splitting a particular PDF file into separate groups."
"IQ Bot efficiently extracts invoice data from various types of PDFs."
"IQ Bot's connectivity to various cloud service providers is beneficial."
"I personally feel that the c-extraction feature is valuable. After training it for a particular document, we can see the extractions there. Other than that, it has other features like Python scripting in-built, and these are the features that I feel stand out."
"IQ Bot is easy to use compared to some of the other solutions out there."
"The efficiency with which it was able to categorize the different data types and the format."
 

Cons

"Lacks sufficient keywords and templates."
"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 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."
"Could improve with regard to hand-written documents."
"Product algorithms could be improved."
"Better customization in terms of mapping would be an improvement."
"The price of IQ Bot, packaged with Automation Anywhere, is too expensive for some companies and they will not use it."
"Customer service and support are good and supportive. However, their response time could be improved, especially for new issues not found in the community version."
"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."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

Information not available
"The product cost is relatively high compared to other tools in the market."
"It is based on the stages and on a yearly basis."
"The product’s price is always in the higher range."
"It's expensive."
"If you make use of only a few bots, this solution is very cheap."
"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 package that includes Automation Anywhere and IQ Bot starts at $10,000 USD."
"There are more affordable solutions than this."
