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

"Using IQ Bot, we can extract more data out from the documents that are unstructured."
"The Automation Anywhere software has improved our organization by moving us into the RPA climate and allowing us to save on our overhead."
"With Automation Anywhere, it will automate everything; it's smooth, effective, and very quick, making it easy to maintain websites and everything in the backend team while filtering out errors so everything is automated."
"It is very user-friendly. Nobody has to sit down and work on coding. We have a drag and drop option where anybody can understand it."
"RPA implementation will be always fruitful, and return on investment will be always higher than the input costs."
"Technical support for this solution is the quickest and the best."
"The most valuable feature of this solution is the automation of manual tasks, which save us time."
"Our development time has been reduced because the solution is very user-friendly."
"Dashboard is good and the product doesn't require coding."
"Automation Hero has all of that as an inbuilt feature, it's very user-friendly and doesn't require a lot of manual work."
"Good templates means that all basics are pre-defined."
"It's quite easy to use, you just have to map the filter to keep it going."
"IQ Bot uses AI technology to extract data from PDF files by analyzing and splitting a particular PDF file into separate groups."
"Our clients have more free time to work on other things thanks to this solution."
"We have been using it only for two months, and so far, it is working fine. It is easy to use."
"The valuable feature of IQ Bot is the AI functionality."
"IQ Bot's connectivity to various cloud service providers is beneficial."
"Overall, this is a good product and most of the features we require are included."
 

Cons

"Improving on the ease of use and user experience of Automation Anywhere (AA) could help."
"The current accuracy rate of 60% for document-based automations requires human intervention."
"I have not seen bots working efficiently in the area of reporting."
"There are areas of improvement needed, such as complex decision-making skills. When updates are made, the IQ Bot's actions can be affected, leading to decision-making failures."
"In the next release, I think it has to be more compatible when deployed with the Citrix environment."
"The capability of understanding and extracting documents is not very good."
"Because I am using an older version, I am rating the scalability as a seven out of 10. I feel a lack of convenience when I try to scale it."
"Going on-cloud comes with security hiccups and concerns."
"Lacks sufficient keywords and templates."
"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%."
"The price of IQ Bot, packaged with Automation Anywhere, is too expensive for some companies and they will not use it."
"The log scripts can only be written in Python, there is no compatible language."
"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."
"I would like love to see pre-trained models based on industries."
"API configurations through control room could be improved a bit."
"There are certain things that OCR engines are not capable of handling currently. For example, OCR engines pick up a slash as a question mark."
"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%."
"Better customization in terms of mapping would be an improvement."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"On a scale of one to ten with ten being the most expensive, I rate the price of Automation Anywhere an eight out of ten."
"Despite being less expensive than UiPath, Automation Anywhere remains cost-prohibitive for many small and medium-sized businesses."
"Its usage is expensive for us because my user base is mostly in Manila and KL. The unit cost of labor is cheaper there than in the U.S. or Australia, which puts a bit more stress on how to get a positive ROI while continuing to use it."
"It's cheaper than other similar solutions."
"Automation Anywhere is costlier than the general competition. That is aligned with the share of the market it has."
"The cost is high for small-scale businesses but it is fine for medium and large enterprises. Its high licensing cost may affect small-scale businesses. Reducing licensing costs would benefit many users."
"We would like them to change the license model of charging per bot."
"We paid separately for the Runner and Creater components. The final cost depends on the structure of your environment."

"It's expensive."
"The price of IQ Bot could improve by being less expensive."
"The cost can be high."
"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."
"IQ Bot is expensive compared to other solutions."
"The solution’s hardware cost is high."
"It has an average cost."
