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 is easy to learn and easy to deploy. That is the best part compared to the other RPA solutions available in the market. Automation Anywhere is easier than UiPath and Blue Prism."
"Because of the presence of Automation, it helped my company deal with banks in this field and to know many important processes in banks and private companies."
"When anybody talks about Robotic Process Automation, Automation Anywhere is the first thing that comes to my mind."
"Automation Anywhere brings speed with accuracy; we are replacing a lot of manual work that our agents used to do, this has been automated now, and we get things done faster."
"Bot Insights is neatly integrated into the platform, which enables us to develop rapidly and train the learning instances using pre-defined domains over the purchase orders, forms, and invoices that need to be processed."
"The technical support has been good in my experience. However, you need to use the latest version to get the right level of support. If it is an end-of-life version, you might not get support from Automation Anywhere."
"The Automation Copilot is helpful. It will automatically give you all the solutions your bot requires. It's like a dictionary."
"My clients have seen ROI, as what would take them two to three days in work is now taking them two to three hours."
"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 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."
"We have been using it only for two months, and so far, it is working fine. It is easy to use."
"Even if there are multiple types that are configurable and if the quality of the images is good, this is definitely much better than others."
"It has a lot of great features."
"Compared to UiPath or Blue Prism, IQ Bot is the most stable RPA product at the moment."
"IQ Bot's connectivity to various cloud service providers is beneficial."
"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."
"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."
 

Cons

"We have found that the passwords are not very stable in terms of their accuracy. We could only get 70 percent accuracy in these cases. Our clients require more accurate results. We are working toward this."
"The marketing for Automation Anywhere has room for improvement."
"While the ease of use for non-tech users is good, it could be improved."
"Training is good and interactive but the final certification exam is very tough and it requires in-depth practical knowledge."
"Automation Anywhere is expensive. They should consider lowering the price to make Automation Anywhere more affordable to SMEs, which comprise a huge segment."
"Automation Anywhere courses are a little bit complex to understand. You need a little bit more time, and accessibility is also a little bit of an issue."
"Automation tools have a lot of dependency on the environment, particularly on machines. Reducing this dependency could increase success."
"I would like a couple more features where I can talk and the line comes up automatically. I can just put on a mic, like in "Ok Google". With "Ok Google", I can tell it to please open an Excel spreadsheet with the header read. If this is there, then I don't even need to sit on a computer, I can just dictate my commands and it will automatically come up."
"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%."
"Lacks sufficient keywords and templates."
"I would say that the initial setup is very complex and not easy."
"I have seen a few cases where organizations did not understand how this tool can be used and therefore did not achieve an ROI."
"The product algorithms could be improved to increase accuracy. We currently need to make regular adjustments, constantly retraining the product to cover all cases."
"It was challenging to have to do the pre-processing and tax inputting on our own."
"Another concern is the technical support, specifically, those responsible for the tickets, are not very helpful."
"It's not that intuitive for a person to work on it. The learning curve is quite high."
"When you update to a new version, you have to migrate your applications."
"Better customization in terms of mapping would be an improvement."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Automation Anywhere's pricing falls within the mid-range, but the long-term benefits outweigh the initial investment."
"We have seen the tangible benefits of taking monotonous work off people's plates, creating capacity, and cost reductions."
"Annual licensing costs would be about $100,000."
"As far as costs, it depends on your use. We started with a basic department pack, which is over 10K. The additional costs depend on the scale of the engagement and how it pans out. We customize to our needs on the go."
"Automation Anywhere is expensive, making it suitable only for enterprise organizations."
"We save 34,000 hours of time per year and have recouped up to $6000 in lost revenue."
"Considering the cost, it is a bit high, but worth the price because the output accuracy is high."
"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."

"IQ Bot is expensive compared to other solutions."
"I feel that the price of IQ Bot could be lower."
"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."
"Pricing is highly confidential because it is something that can be negotiated."
"The package that includes Automation Anywhere and IQ Bot starts at $10,000 USD."
"It's expensive."
"The price of IQ Bot could improve by being less expensive."
"The solution’s hardware cost is high."
