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.

Automation has streamlined client data extraction and has improved reporting for business decisions

I work as a developer, and my manager is responsible for the research and analytics for the project with the client and business users. I am satisfied with BotFarm. I would rate my experience with BotFarm an eight out of ten. I do not see any room for improvement for BotFarm. I am using AI tools such as Amazon, Microsoft Azure, and ChatGPT. I am not using AI-powered bots in BotFarm. I am a partner with Automation Anywhere.

Automates browsing tasks without needing a server connection

I have worked with Microsoft Power Platform and UiPath. Kofax RPA offers a comprehensive solution with built-in capabilities for executing tasks like running Excel files and web automation without additional servers. They provide their browsers and extensions. For functions such as OCR, image processing, and data extraction, Kofax has built-in features powered by their engine, eliminating the need for subscriptions to external technologies like Microsoft Cognitive Services or Google Search. One of Kofax RPA's strongest features is its on-premise solution, which is particularly beneficial for organizations operating in regions with data regulations, such as the UAE.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"It saves us man-hours, headcount, and processing time, and we have automated the equivalent headcount of 500 FTEs since we started, with those people doing different types of work activities instead of being laid off."

"We are working with one of the bots where we send claims through WhatsApp. Any user could take a photo in WhatsApp, then send that data to the organization. Now, whenever a photo is takes, different phones have different primary resolutions, and the data being captured is not clear data. At that moment, the data is automated to a very power system which centralizes the process to one point. This is what we are using for the insurance provider. They fill out the claims form and send this information to the organization, then we use automation tools to automate the process and come to a conclusion."

"It is easy to install and use."

"The feature I appreciate the most about Automation Anywhere is the interface."

"The tool is very easy to use and mostly user-friendly. I like that when using it I don't need much expertise."

"The scalability is good."

"I would recommend using this product; it is very useful, we can automate anything through it, there is much flexibility, and it provides a robust mechanism, which is good."

"My impression of the impact on visibility in the automation lifecycle is that we help to standardize the process and become more productive in those activities and visibility."

More Automation Anywhere pros

"The record option and the OCR technology have been great."

"The solution is easy to use and easy to apply."

"BotFarm by Automation Anywhere is great for building bots."

"The initial setup is pretty straightforward."

"Now, we have standardized responses, and our customers are getting better, error-free, and on-time responses."

"The system is stable and very little maintenance is required, assuming the bots process is perfectly designed."

"One of the most valuable features is the solution's simple automation regarding object cloning and strings variables."

"We have automized the day-to-day work of their order management system."

More BotFarm pros

"The most valuable feature of Kofax RPA is the simplicity of automating tasks."

"You can automate browsing tasks without needing a server connection. The platform provides its browser, allowing you to run anything inside it."

"The flexibility to use already-developed components is really good. You can use it for Excel-related operations and other things."

"The end user only has to click once to preserve the entire email conversation."

"The product provides end-to-end solutions for different business problems."

"The ability to script information from websites is most valuable. It also seems to be fairly robust and reasonably easy to manage on a server-based deployment. We have a number of robots operating on the central server."

"Kofax RPA has provided our organization with a lot of savings in many different areas and we have improvements in data quality."

"We use Kofax effectively and I'm happy with it."

More Tungsten RPA pros

Cons

"The architecture and pro-code support for pro-code agents are areas that could use improvement, which they don't have currently."

"Sometimes, the bot struggles to initiate on the cloud, even when everything appears in place. This issue occasionally requires uninstalling and reinstalling a component on my PC, although I cannot recall the specific component involved."

"We have had a lot of issues using Automation Anywhere and find ourselves stuck."

"Automation Anywhere has to improve its technical features."

"We have a few issues which have persisted. These end up restarting the machine. We are hoping in version 11.3 of Automation Anywhere, our compatibility and infrastructure issues will be resolved."

"A2019 should have more improvement for developers, as it was in v11.x."

"The bot scaling process was painful, when you go beyond a few bots, and because we had stability issues. We had to work through the issues, and they took us a long time."

"The UI could be made better because the UI in Version 11 was better and easier as compared to a2019."

More Automation Anywhere cons

"The solution can improve the accuracy of hand-written data reading"

"It is too expensive and not worth the price."

"I have called customer service three times and the experience has not been good. They do not offer 24/7 support, which forces us to wait till the next working day to solve a problem."

"The licensing schemes could be more competitive. They need to be much more flexible in their pricing."

"Sometimes I feel like it doesn't work properly and we are not able to provide the dexterity needed."

"The OCR tool, the optical character recognition tool, could be more efficient."

"The only challenge that we have faced with BotFarm is that there is no continuous deployment. The whole world is moving to the DevOps model, but BotFarm is still not on the DevOps model. It should have integration with the DevOps model. The migration of the bots or bots pipeline is currently purely manual."

"The discovery suite that they just acquired could be included."

More BotFarm cons

"The solution needs to be scalable."

"The solution could use some AI integrated features."

"The product should improve desktop automation, which is hard to configure. It needs to have custom connectors. It is the only advantage that Microsoft Power Platform has over Kofax RPA. It has more than 800 custom connectors."

"We're not really happy with the outcome of one particular complex process."

"Exception handling needs to be improved."

"We are on version 10.6, and the current version seems to be 11. Kofax is cycling the capabilities of the product very quickly. One of the difficulties has been to actually keep up with the capabilities as they've evolved. On the one hand, it is good that the product is getting better, but on the other hand, it is difficult to implement the best way with a product that is evolving constantly."

"Kofax RPA's UI could be more user-friendly."

"Kofax RPA needs to improve integration with SAP and Microsoft. The professional services offered by the tool's team is below par. Its licensing needs to be more modular."

More Tungsten RPA cons

Pricing and Cost Advice

"With the rebate processing automation that we did, it has provided us a savings of around an hour or two a person on a daily basis, which is quite a lot of savings."

"This is a value for the money product."

"The licensing fees are approximately $10,000 USD for between five and ten users."

"It's somewhat pricier than some of the other tools that we've used, and the breakout between the different applications is also somewhat costly. If they can make it a little more cost-effective or bundle packages a little bit more, that would be beneficial."

"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."

"The enterprise version is expensive for small businesses and individual users."

"Although the initial implementation cost of Automation Anywhere is relatively high compared to other options, its annual subscription cost is lower than UiPath's, which has the opposite pricing structure."

"I am using that Automation Anywhere Master Certification for version 11. Recently, this has been updated in Automation Anywhere University. Until this month, it's free to use. There are no charges. That's why I would like to complete it this month."

More Automation Anywhere pricing and cost advice

"We are on an annual license for the solution and is priced well."

"I think payment can vary but it's a re-occurring fee that needs to be paid every year."

"The solution prices are expensive. It would be more beneficial for customers to lower the pricing."

"The pricing model could be simplified."

"Automation Anywhere is more reasonable than Blue Prism and UiPath in terms of cost."

"Pricing for this solution can be better."

"It is too expensive and not worth the price."

"An unattended bot license costs around $5,000, whereas an attended bot license costs roughly $1,500."

More BotFarm pricing and cost advice

"The normal price for an on-premises license is €50,000. That's the price for one robot license. You can have more than one robot license but only one can be run at any one time. I believe the cost of adding a second robot is around €14,000."

"There is a standard license needed to use Kofax RPA and the price is reasonable."

"The cost depends on the number of licenses and the number of RPAs."

"I give the price of the solution a six out of ten."

"Its pricing is reasonable given the product capabilities. Kofax has a wide range of products, and it can sometimes be confusing to understand which capabilities come with which product set. One of the key facets that we've been looking into recently is cognitive document recognition that was a core pile of some of their other technologies such as Kofax transformation modules (KTM)."

"The solution’s license is not expensive."

"Kofax RPA's licensing costs are yearly and expensive."

"Kofax RPA is moderately priced but expensive in comparison to UiPath and Power Automate."
