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

"Since our implementation, I can vouch for the fact that it is very easy to use. You do not need to know a lot of coding, even the business users, who have virtually no idea of coding, can easily operate it. They can run their bots and have the analysis ready for higher management. This is something which provides a great ease of use, and also in part why it is scalable."

"The most valuable feature of Automation Anywhere is the unattended mode bots, because we don't need to go and look at what they're doing. They just go by themselves."

"It helps increase productivity by 20% to 30%."

"One of the benefits my organization has seen from these features is productivity in two ways: I am able to save a lot of time because of the automation, I do not need manual intervention anymore as manual intervention has been cut down by ten to fifteen percent, and the productivity gains have been substantial."

"The best feature is its ability to combine Automation Anywhere with AI to build intelligent bots."

"The most valuable feature is the back-end process automation."

"In human resources, we created several core SAP systems so that the basic users in human resources can reduce redundancies by 10 times with very little cost."

"In our efforts to efficiently manage the master data at our factories, the biggest benefit is the fact that we have been able to rein in what was an increasing number of engineers who were needed, on the order of some 100 people, so that’s a major result."

More Automation Anywhere pros

"The initial setup is straightforward."

"Overall, we've been happy with the solution."

"There is at least a five or ten times reduction in the amount of time, and more people are free to do something else."

"The scalability is the solution's most valuable aspect."

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

"BotFarm has been working perfectly fine with our business model. Its scalability is the most valuable feature. We can easily scale out bots on a need basis. Portability is another valuable feature. We work with different payment systems like Visa and MasterCard and have bots for them. Because of BotFarm, we are able to reuse these bots."

"Automation Anywhere is a very good solution if you're looking to expand all your work areas."

"The solution reduces manual data errors and improves data accuracy"

More BotFarm pros

"Kofax RPA's best feature is its high success percentage in picking up information from documents, especially where the DPI is really low."

"It's a good product."

"The tool's most valuable feature is web browser automation, which makes it easy to interact with any website. We can assemble a robot in a few hours with web automation, depending on its complexity."

"The most valuable features are workflow and process automation."

"It is very simple and easy to learn compared to any other RPA tools such as UiPath, Automation Anywhere and Blue Prism."

"It is a stable product."

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

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

More Tungsten RPA pros

Cons

"It takes a lot of time to deploy, and sometimes it fails after a timeout."

"If you are not on-premise, then you will need to have Citrix automation."

"Having some more pre-mapping and pre-setup analysis of what you're going to be doing with it would be helpful."

"Scalability has been a pain point; the scalability is there, but there are ongoing operational issues with it."

"An additional feature we would like to see is the inclusion of a particular kind of scripting in the development environment itself."

"They often provide good solutions, but sometimes they are unable to resolve issues, requiring users to find solutions independently, which can be time-consuming."

"The setup and deployment processes for this product also need to be improved, e.g. made easier."

"I would like the ability to extract the code. You can go line by line, then open up each line of code and dig into the details, but it would be nice to extract all of the lines of code and all of the details into a document so we could read through everything. Right now, there is no way to really consume all of the code at once, except line by line, which can be fairly time consuming if we don't really know what we are looking for."

More Automation Anywhere cons

"From the holistic standpoint of the product offering, there are a lot of things that need to be done."

"The solution doesn't have support like they used to. They need support. We have personnel of our own, but sometimes we need assistance beyond our own team."

"When somebody is just learning this product it can be difficult for them to understand, so improvements to the user interface would be helpful."

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

"I would like to see more process mining features to give us insight into them before we develop automation."

"The only challenge that we have faced with BotFarm is that there is no continuous deployment."

"An area for improvement in BotFarm is that the communication between the Control Room and the Bot Client Missions isn't utilized well. There's also the issue with PCI DSS compliance or certain regulations that require a set of configurations that are not fully supported by BotFarm. The product should be certified or designed according to the required regulations in the finance industry to make it better."

"I would like to have access to self-service support."

More BotFarm cons

"Automating systems based on Citrix, where using AI or OCR-based capture of a screen, presents challenges."

"There is really nothing special about the capabilities of this product."

"Its documentation is not widely available on the web. They should work on the availability of its documentation. In Automation Anywhere, there is a feature called Discovery Bot that automatically records the process steps and suggests a possible bot. I am not sure if such a feature is available in Kofax. If it is not available, it will be very good to have this feature. "

"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."

"The scalability has room for improvement."

"Unless it's necessary to interact with or extract information from complex documents, I would recommend choosing a different solution than Kofax RPA."

"Kofax needs to create a community where developers have the opportunity to donate to it. The education surrounding this solution should be better."

"The negative side is that UiPath has a really large community on the RPA side, and Tungsten RPA doesn't have any community for the developer side, which is a red flag for us and for customers."

Pricing and Cost Advice

"We are restricted to use one license on one PC. However, if my license is not working, I want to be able to use it somewhere else. This would be a nice improvement to the licensing, as other competitors in the market have better licensing terms."

"AA comes at a more affordable price than the other tools."

"It's the best RPA tool, but the pricing could be improved."

"Our annual licensing costs for the entire company are $100,000."

"It's fine. However, I'm concerned with the credits in terms of the pricing for the AI models. It is understandable that the new ones are more expensive, but the base models, after doing the pricing conversion, cost about four to ten times as much as paying directly."

"It is subscription-based. They have different schemes. The price depends on how you negotiate with the local partner or local representative in your country."

"The major reason that we selected Automation Anywhere was the licensing model."

"It is fantastic. It has been great. It is perfectly priced for the quality received. When paying for quality, that is exactly what you get."

More Automation Anywhere pricing and cost advice

"Its price is quite high as compared to other solutions, but it has a lot of features and good stability. They should reduce its price."

"The product is slightly expensive"

"The pricing model could be simplified."

"The pricing is fair."

"The licensing is on a monthly basis."

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

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

"Pricing for this solution can be better."

More BotFarm pricing and cost advice

"Kofax's prices are pretty reasonable."

"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."

"I don't have complete insight at this point in time, but I would guess that Kofax is a lot less expensive than Automation Anywhere. I would expect its license to be on a yearly basis."

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

"The solution’s license is not expensive."

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

"The pricing model for automation solutions like Automation Anywhere, UiPath, and Microsoft Power Platform is subscription-based, where costs are calculated based on factors such as the number of hours used and the scale of automation required.......With Kofax, you purchase a license upfront, and that's all you need. You can create as many automation workflows as you require without additional costs for individual use cases."

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