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.

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.

Automation has transformed invoice extraction and has reduced manual processing time dramatically
When it comes to improvements in UiPath IXP, there is a challenge with different languages, particularly Arabic invoices or handwritten ones, where there is some mismatch or difference in extraction. This could be improved. For instance, if there is a "Z" available on the screen, it may be identified as "2." Improvements in these two areas from the extraction point of view are necessary, along with considerations regarding pricing levels. In terms of support, UiPath is performing very well. Whenever we require assistance from UiPath, it has been positive. However, I would suggest that there is room for improvement in identifying complex different layout invoices, particularly for handwritten text, since there is potential for improvement in that area.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The best feature is its ability to combine Automation Anywhere with AI to build intelligent bots."
"From a technical perspective, developers can easily create bots and get things done with this tool."
"We have almost 27 use cases in production and, as of now, we have saved almost eight FTEs per annum."
"Because while the platform is feature-rich and easy to use, it is the skill of the coder that determines how well the platform is leveraged."
"It is highly scalable on cloud and virtual machines."
"It has absolutely been worth it for us and has provided us with good value."
"The majority of Indian companies are showing a lot of interest in recruiting students who are trained in this Automation Anywhere RPA tool."
"One of the notable benefits we've realized from Automation Anywhere is a significant reduction in errors when processing data, which improves both revenue accuracy and operational efficiency."
"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."
"I believe Ephesoft Transact is one of the best tools because the UI is an easy one."
"Transact's best feature is its ease of customization."
"I have found the keyword extraction to be helpful."
"What I appreciate most about UiPath Document Understanding is that it's a good introduction tool for customers to use, and it can be deployed quickly."
"The most valuable feature is the ability for humans to train the bot."
"The highly visual and user-friendly interface was a standout feature."
"The validation process is easy. The Validation Station shows you the extracted data on one side and the document on the other, so you can easily scroll down and check if the data is accurate. You just need to click a checkbox. If you don't think it is fine, you have the option to add an exception. Based on that exception, you can create multiple conditions for how to address the same issue if it happens again."
"We are working with 40,000 different vendor templates. Document Understanding can understand and process various formats without much manual effort to configure the templates. That wasn't the case when we were using Microsoft."
"UiPath Document Understanding offers valuable features like Arabic language support, which is crucial for effective communication and automation in the Arabic-speaking world."
"It's great for document understanding for invoices and installments."
"Has a very good machine learning feature."
 

Cons

"The object cloning that exists cannot capture 80 percent of the objects that we need it to capture."
"Enhancing the support tiers might be beneficial, and pricing has been a primary challenge, with a need for cheaper options and more tiered support."
"We'd like to see more AI features."
"We are at an inflection point where we have automated so much that just keeping the lights on certainly takes 20% to 50% of the time, depending on the time of year. Being able to enable the stakeholders is one of my main focuses. If we are automating their process, I want them to continue owning that as much as possible. We are just expanding on the bot insights. From a security perspective, there have been some challenges for us getting our customers in there from a role-level security perspective and making sure that they have full access to the control room and their automation after it is automated."
"After implementing, I have seen that some customers are not getting ROI from that, so they are stepping back from using Automation Anywhere."
"It is good for standard procedures with an SOP. For those, it works well. But there are processes that are tricky and need human intervention and intelligence. In those cases, the process gets stuck."
"Another feature that would be cool to see in Automation Anywhere is more use of artificial intelligence."
"We have used the technical support. I am quite unhappy with the support part."
"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."
"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."
"It's not easy to train."
"UiPath Document Understanding's ability to read handwritten files has room for improvement."
"This is an expensive solution."
"Sometimes, when the number of items is very large, the solution doesn't properly identify them."
"I would like to see more integration of artificial intelligence. That's being implemented, but it would be a massive improvement to the solution's document processing. If UiPath achieves intelligent document processing, it will be far better than anything on the market. There are currently some limitations with the fields that could be addressed using a GPT engine. With an integrated AI model, you wouldn't need to create your taxonomy. You would only need to provide some prompts, such as "What is the property name?" It will store that as a variable."
"The main area for improvement for UiPath Document Understanding is pricing."
"It would be much easier if UiPath increased the count of pages. Currently, they are allowing one million pages for $10,000 per month. I would prefer to increase the page count or reduce the dollar count in terms of processing the documents. I would prefer $6,000 per month for processing 2 to 3 million pages per month. It will then be much easier for companies with a low budget to use this product."
"One area where UiPath could improve is by including pre-trained models for general-use documents specific to the Middle East."
"Currently, we have to train multiple templates because the column size and row size change in each PDF."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The price is very reasonable."
"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."
"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."
"It is not cheap, with costs ranging between 700 to 800 dollars per month. While Power Automate is cheaper at 15 dollars per month, Automation Anywhere offers superior features, user-friendliness, and smoothness."
"I am not responsible for the pricing part, but I know the pricing is competitive compared to other tools."
"It's justified because we have saved quite a bit of money at the company and many manual hours. Overall, it justifies the cost."
"The pricing and licensing are definitely moderate to costly but easily recoverable by achieving ROI quickly."
"Pricing is a bit high when compared to other available tools; however, the tool is worth the cost."
"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."
"On a scale of one to ten with ten being the most expensive, I rate UiPath Document Understanding an eight on cost."
"UiPath Document Understanding compared to the competitors is high."
"I used the community version, so there was no fee."
"UiPath Document Understanding carries a premium price tag, but its current technological capabilities may not yet fully justify the cost."
"UiPath has a higher upfront cost, but its Document Understanding feature is not a significant additional expense compared to the overall platform."
"The solution’s cost increases for machine learning or artificial intelligence because we have to go for UiPath Orchestrator."
"While Robotic Process Automation tools can be expensive, UiPath Document Understanding is no exception."
"It's expensive, but you can reduce the price per license by getting more licenses. Overall, the pricing is okay."
