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.

Has saved us hundreds of hours by automating manual credit card processing and improving payment security
I have not noticed any issues so far with Boost Intercept. We have additional automation needs that we are looking for outside of this virtual credit card process that they are looking into for us. I do not see any red flags at this point; they have been really good on this virtual credit card piece and possibly can help us solution other things. We are looking to have a smoother process, an automated process for the other customers that are not using virtual, who are our end users making payments by credit card. That is still a manual process for us. We still have to take the information and enter it in the system and process it on the spot. We are looking for some automation there where we can maybe have a link or something, and that way Boost Intercept can process these payments for us as well.

Unified accounting and inventory have empowered seamless projects and detailed financial insights
The most valuable features and capabilities of Zoho Books I have found include vendor management, customer management, accounting, invoicing, and inventory. Within Zoho Books, you can handle both accounting and inventory, covering all areas like purchase and sales. Almost all features are available, including bank reconciliation. Invoicing is also included in the accounting features. The sales section includes quotation, sales order, invoicing, packing, shipments, delivery note, delivery challans, invoicing, and payment received. The purchase section includes purchase orders, purchase received (GRN), bill, supplier invoices, and advance payment. All these features are available. You can communicate and send to the customers using it. It enables managing different statuses, scheduling recurring invoices, and customers can pay through direct online payment using Zoho Books direct invoices. Customers can log into their portal and see their own invoices.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"For the beginners, it is an easy tool compared to other tools in market. Users can understand the line by line code and code it easily. There is no syntax or anything else. They can easily drag and drop, executing the bot directly."
"Automation Anywhere receives high marks for its ease of use."
"The primary use case is automation of processes for people services, such as data management of the employees, and financial processes, like reporting, financial reporting, and month-end closing activities."
"The OCR feature in Automation Anywhere is the best I have encountered, even better than Google."
"One of the most valuable features is object cloning, the ability to get into websites and do things faster."
"The character extraction capability of IQ Bot is much, much better than the other OCR (Optical Character Recognition) engines that you have in the market today."
"Automation Anywhere has presented us with a platform that is easily accessible from a web interface, enabling us to write code for RPA scripts without having to download a dedicated software application."
"The product has everything that I want; I don't have to look for another tool to integrate with it."
"I just like that Boost is hands-off. That's the biggest thing for me."
"As far as credit card processors or third-party credit card payment issuers go, they are fairly easy to work with. People we work with tend to be responsive when we have concerns or questions."
"Their customer service is excellent. The automation streamlines the process for supplier success cards."
"The Boost Intercept service is responsive and provides excellent on-the-spot communication, invaluable for addressing my numerous questions."
"The value we get from Boost is that we don't need to run credit cards on our network. They consolidate the cash and give it to us."
"Since we have started with it, we have saved over 400 hours of human intervention and human processing."
"The impact has been that it increased our onboarding of vendors to the program, enabling us to grow tremendously."
"I have worked with multiple clients for Zoho Books, and they are completely satisfied with the implementation and customization automation we did."
"The major benefit I've seen from Zoho Books is its positive impact on saving time around CRM and projects, CRM, bookkeeping, and projects as that works very efficiently."
"Almost all the features are there, and they have different plans with lots of features."
"With Zoho Books, I have found the most valuable features that we don't need any reports because the reports get already generated based on the sales and purchases."
"Having used eight accounting software systems, I consider this one among my favorites."
 

Cons

"The user interface should be enhanced to make things simpler for the user."
"There is still a way to go for Automation Anywhere where we can see improvement."
"One area requiring improvement is the debugging process. When I use a multi-structure with conditions to switch from one bot to another, successful debugging of the entire process is not feasible. Each bot has to be debugged individually."
"Bringing a DevOps model for bot implementation integrated through private bot store might be a good idea to improve the tool."
"In Automation Anywhere, the logging process is manual."
"They will need much more support, because it is a new thing and it’ll never fail because of productive partners. It will fail if people on the “gemba” don’t adopt it."
"There have been problems with scalability. It comes down to how we handle the code."
"Autosuggestion of existing use cases based on the problem statement could use improvement."
"It would be nice if Boost had a portal where you could log in and see the transactions. I'm not sure if they don't have one, but I suggest getting one."
"Boost could add a dashboard to show who's paying us and when. We could see if there's an issue with payments and correct it. Currently, we need to wait for the file to come in or the customer to tell us about the issue."
"If it was possible to have our payments go through Boost but have Boost initiate something like ACH payments, that would be great."
"They have pretty much accommodated every special request I have had. The only thing that I can think of improving is reverse prospecting."
"The pricing, in some instances, is an area for improvement."
"In terms of improvement, there are two things which they are going to improve, but they have dedicated products for them."
"Areas of Zoho Books that could be improved or enhanced include the requirements for data size, as sometimes there is too much data."
"They can improve their approval process and access matrix in Zoho Books."
"The user interface of Zoho Books is frustrating when compared to QuickBooks or other alternatives."
"I do not have any challenges within Zoho Books, but sometimes if you want to change the currencies for customers, that can be a bit tricky, especially if you want to issue different invoices in different currencies, maybe even for the same customer, that's the only thing."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"We have saved customers 400% in terms of time saved by implementing this product."
"Our company is investing a lot of money in Automation Anywhere. They have saved money wherever humans are working. They invest a lot of money in FTEs and other logistics, so the money saving is very pretty good with Automation Anywhere. While I don't know the exact figure, the tool is saving us millions of dollars as well as saving about 40,000 hours in the last year."
"Automation Anywhere is flexible in terms of costing and licensing."
"We would like them to change the license model of charging per bot."
"We have reduced our headcount, approximately 200 to 300 employees, by eliminating manual, repetitive work. It provides profit to the business."
"I have heard that Automation Anywhere is expensive."
"Automation Anywhere is affordable."
"They give us a good deal on the licensing because we bundle and customize things. If you ask to get a bulk business deal, you will receive more benefit. If you take other products from the suite, like IQ Bot, you can also receive a deal on the licensing."
"The pricing is generally good, although we encountered a pricing dilemma with one customer."
"The pricing has been negotiable. It is not just one price. We are able to negotiate the price, which is great."
"We do not pay anything. As a supplier, we are receiving our payments through Boost. There is no fee for us to opt into it. The only fee is the credit card fee."
