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.

OCR Developer at a tech vendor with 10,001+ employees

A stable and scalable smart content acquisition and data classification solution with a useful inject feature

I would advise potential users that Ephesoft Transact is an easy tool to handle. The UI isn't complex, and even if everything isn't handled at the UI level, they can work with the script. You can also handle issues with scripts. I believe Ephesoft Transact is one of the best tools because the UI is an easy one. The UI-level design makes it easy to handle the development and the superior Ephesoft support system. They will give you quick support to resolve issues and provide training materials. They will train the developer, and after training the developers, they will also support them. That's a good good thing that I saw. Initially, when I joined this project, I also had less knowledge. But with the help of this support system and the training material, I now have superior knowledge. On a scale from one to ten, I would give Ephesoft Transact a nine.

Gangadhar Wali

Founder and COO at InVibes

Pre-trained models work well, but it is very expensive

We have to do manual validation for some of the things due to the OCR engine not being so accurate. For example, S is read as 5, 5 as S, 2 as Z, and Z as 2. In the case of currency, if one dot is missing, it gives a completely incorrect number. These discrepancies should be fixed because if the OCR itself doesn't work properly, then AI doesn't help with that. When AI is used for training models, the AI Center works precisely, but if the data itself is wrong, we can't do anything. If the extraction of data is proper, it definitely helps. However, 20% errors could be reduced if the OCR engine were better. In future updates, I would like to see better handling of issues such as when a dot is missing in currency, for example, with dollars, it should handle that automatically. It's very expensive. If the volume increases, we can't afford to use Document Understanding. We are thinking of moving to another solution because we are expecting 80,000 to 100,000 invoices.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The ease of use is its key novel feature, as I have actually trained people in finance who have not written a piece of code in their lives and they are able to pick it up."

"It reduced cost and effort significantly; yearly, our organization saved $14,000, the company started to save more, and increased efficiency in the field of automation then started to pioneer."

"Human errors have been rectified due to bot usage."

"Having a cloud-based deployment provides more flexibility because we just need an internet connection for connecting the agent into the AA cloud."

"AARI is very convenient, and that is their biggest selling point."

"IQ Bot is a valuable feature. It processes unstructured data to structured data. It helps me by making tasks less time consuming. It reduces the effort it takes versus manually."

"Our business has seen a good return on investment with Automation Anywhere, and they are so pleased that they are requesting to add more processes."

"Automation Anywhere RPA has enabled a lot of our employees to have their valuable time freed up to do other things, ranging from the Treasury department, the Revenue department, General and Cost Accounting."

More Automation Anywhere pros

"I believe Ephesoft Transact is one of the best tools because the UI is an easy one."

"I have found the keyword extraction to be helpful."

"I like the inject feature. With desktop injects, we're doing all these things and extracting these things. Its stable, scalable, and technical support is good."

"Transact's best feature is its ease of customization."

"AI Center is helpful for creating data sets. Machine learning helps with some extraction. The ML extractor gives good results after training."

"The best feature is pre-labeling, as it eliminates the need to manually label each data point."

"UiPath Document Understanding's image file extraction feature is the best in any OCR solution."

"With Document Understanding, tasks that would normally take eight hours manually can be completed in three to five hours. It still requires some human intervention, but 90 percent of the processing can be automated."

"We can integrate document understanding with other systems and applications."

"Document Understanding has better machine learning or ML capabilities, and that is why I prefer Document Understanding."

"The solution allows us to continue with vendors whose information comes in correctly and to stop the automation for vendors with many items that are not clearly defined."

"It has advanced capabilities compared to other competitors, whether Blue Prism or Automation Anywhere."

More UiPath IXP pros

Cons

"More structured and unstructured data collection will be a challenge. While we have the IQ Bot tool, the success rate at the beginning will be lower. It will be around 20 to 30 percent at the start because you need to train the bot at regular intervals. Of course, this depends on the data. This area could use be improvement."

"Its pricing definitely needs to be more competitive. When licensing costs are high, we cannot use this tool for automation."

"The OCR component should allow integration with 3rd party OCR. This way we can use the best of breed solution along with AA or allow better control over OCR packages to be customized."

"The starting price, which is a one-off fee is a bit high and this may deter mid and small-sized companies from acquiring and decide to shun the platform."

"Automation with bots runs fine only if it is an attended bot. With unattended bots, the bots run only 25 to 30 percent of the time."

"Regarding the UI, once you're in some of the screens there are fixed dialogues. They are a set size, so there's a lot of horizontal scrolls and vertical scrolls."

"The implementation process is complex, as there is integration with other applications."

"New versions keep coming up. The challenge for us is to have the downtime to do the migrations. This could be improved upon. We would like fewer version changes and upgrades happening to the application. While the downtime is not that much, depending on the business processes, there are times few critical processes are running on a daily or hourly basis. We would expect the downtime to be even less for them."

More Automation Anywhere cons

"It's not easy to train."

"Transact could be improved by removing Java and making its pricing more accessible for smaller customers."

"Their email service and extraction could be better. We get the input via email, and these emails contain different types of documents like Excel, PDF, or they may contain different content in the email body. Due to this variation, sometimes the email service crashes, and emails aren't redirected to Ephesoft Transact. Ephesoft has provided us with new hotfixes. Whatever flaws we found in the 2019.2 version, they have already updated it in the new version, 20.1.05, and it's already released. Drawbacks like not capturing the handwritten fields are now sorted."

"Currently, we have to train multiple templates because the column size and row size change in each PDF."

"UiPath Document Understanding's ability to read handwritten files has room for improvement."

"Document Understanding's handwriting comprehension is improving, but it's still not as good as printed documents. Machine learning models, in general, are becoming mature, but it's still not to a point where I will give it five stars. I may give it a two or three. It is still not advanced enough to identify whatever handwritten content you give to it. It can process handwriting, but you need a human to validate it. With more training, it will become more automated. It will be better by 2025, but it is still not mature enough"

"There could be a feature similar to ChatGPT where when you ask about a document, you get an answer about what is there in that document. If possible, this kind of feature can be incorporated so that you do not need to open a file and take the value. It should directly detect that instead of opening and validating the document. Such a feature will speed up the process."

"One area of improvement for UiPath Document Understanding is the accuracy of handwritten documents. While the solution supports handwritten documents, the accuracy percentage is not as high as desired."

"The coding machine learning could be a little bit better."

"There are also problems with handwritten documents. The results from those are not 90 percent accurate. With scanned and native PDFs, it is 90 to 99 percent accurate, but the accuracy of handwritten documents is somewhat less. If they could improve on that, it would also be helpful."

"Document Understanding would be improved with more AI platforms."

More UiPath IXP cons

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Its cost is good."

"I am not sure about the costs, but two Bot Runners and four Bot Creators may cost approximately 1CR."

"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."

"We're just starting to renew our license, and we were quoted $115,000 without the IQ Bot. The IQ Bot is another $30,000. This is with very limited pages, as we go through our first projects. The majority of the cost was for ten days of onsite training."

"On a yearly basis, our licensing costs are about $80,000. There are no additional costs beyond the standard licensing fees."

"The pricing strategy for us is one license for development. It is more complicated than that depending on the options you choose."

"If you are looking into Automation Anywhere, get the Community Edition and play with it."

"The pricing that we received from Automation Anywhere in the beginning was very economical for us. We've seen a lot of benefit from what we spent to what we're receiving. From the beginning, it's been a very low-cost implementation for us."

More Automation Anywhere pricing and cost advice

"Initially, when I got a licensed copy of Ephesoft Transact, it was for one year. After one year, we had to send an email to the Ephesoft team informing them that our license was going to expire. They updated it and provided one license in our file, and we had to update and install the folder. They have versions for one year and lifelong as well."

"Transact's pricing could be better for smaller customers."

"I do not know about its price, but for large organizations, UiPath is cheap, whereas, for small organizations, UiPath is high. For example, if 500 licenses are needed for one company, UiPath is cheap. If only 5 licenses are required, UiPath is costly."

"UiPath Document Understanding compared to the competitors is high."

"On a scale of one to ten, where one is cheap, and ten is expensive, I rate the solution a nine."

"It is expensive. The license cost for UiPath Studio has risen to around 3.5 lakhs last year, and I am uncertain how much the increase will be this year. They have also increased the bot prices."

"UiPath is a pricey tool for small customers."

"One of the biggest challenges we face with UiPath is the pricing structure."

"UiPath's pricing model is complex and based on AI units, which are consumed during model training and use."

"UiPath Document Understanding is considered a bit expensive compared to other options like Microsoft Azure, which can offer similar quality at a more affordable rate."
