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 reduced night-time server checks and now manages reporting and cloud monitoring

The downsides I normally mention about Fortra's Automate are about reports and deep analytics. While Fortra's Automate can manage our servers, it can give you a problem report that says what happened, but it doesn't give you a clear picture of why it happened or how many times your servers went offline. This pushes us to get another third-party tool. We have to generate those simple reports from Fortra's Automate and push them to another software in Tableau. We use Tableau for analytics to analyze that data and understand what the trends are, what the instance is telling us, and what the clear problem is. It lacks that deep analytics feature. Additionally, I am not impressed with the interface, as it feels outdated and it has taken a long time to see any updates or changes. I believe those are the two downsides, but the customer support is adequate.

Has faced challenges adapting to evolving capture methods and competitive integrations

It's difficult to say what I'd improve in Tungsten TotalAgility because we haven't been actively marketing that particular product in the last probably six to nine months. The speed of product development means that my experience with it is likely out of date in terms of the product suite capabilities. The difficulty with customers nowadays is that they are subject to the winds of change in terms of the adoption of cloud technologies and the offerings those cloud technologies bring. Microsoft, for instance, is rapidly filling in the spaces between various product areas that other vendors typically owned. That makes it difficult for customers to settle on their functional requirements because the offers are competing in the same space. I look for more integration with mainstream subscription based platforms, more security integration, and possibly some more lifecycle management features. However, the difficulty with that is the competition with existing options that people have in their subscription library.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The CyberArk integration and setup are really amazing and it helps us to win deals for new projects."

"Automation Anywhere has impacted our efficiency and productivity in a very positive way since we are shutting down a very manual process."

"What I appreciate about Automation Anywhere is that it saves a lot of time because tasks that would have taken days or weeks can be executed in very few hours."

"I realized that Automation Anywhere is much easier, more reliable, and has value for money with good and vast customer support."

"IQ Bot is the most valuable integrated feature of Automation Anywhere."

"A good example is a process that we automated where, on that specific process, the return on investment is above 30,000 percent."

"Automation Anywhere is stable."

"The time savings from using Document Automation are substantial, as previously a team of about five to ten people managed specific processes end-to-end, such as processing fourteen thousand entries in a month, but after automation, that entire process is streamlined, saving us a lot of FTEs."

More Automation Anywhere pros

"Overall, this is a pretty nice product and I really recommend it because it is very easy to use."

"It gives us a central place to schedule tasks and run them distributed."

"Fortra's Automate has become a digital worker that performs our clicks, data entry, file handling, and system actions that are done manually, helping us to automate them."

"A great feature that you seldom see in these kind of systems is the ability to use a database as trigger to launch a task. This is something I asked for a few years ago and that was added."

"I like the interface; it makes managing automation easy. We can set different schedules and templates for each task."

"Compared to other vendors, it's the scheduling tool because a lot of vendors want to charge you extra for their enterprise-level license to have a scheduling tool built in to give you the ability to set up regular schedules to run and do certain data checks."

"The solution is continuously adding more integrations to help with workflows and bot and task creation."

"Regarding errors, there is a sixty to sixty-five percent chance that our errors get resolved by Fortra's Automate by default."

More Fortra's Automate pros

"Kofax TotalAgility is a single package. They provide you with OCR capabilities, BPM capabilities, and case manager features."

"Kofax TotalAgility is stable."

"It is user-friendly and has good documentation. It's good for developing communication and has a lot of the APIs needed for this purpose. There aren't a lot of software options available from this time period; this is the only one from 2013 that has this concept of microservices."

"We have seen a significant cost reduction by passing many manual interventions that were required to identify and extract data from different tax forms, and we have also increased our throughput and accuracy."

"What I find most valuable in Kofax TotalAgility is its OCR feature. I also find its workflow and business process management capabilities valuable. Kofax TotalAgility also has good integration with other solutions and has an API call feature."

"This is a great product, a BPM tool with capture facilities."

"The tool is low code which saves you from a developer."

"The product is really good, and it is easy to use. It comes with multiple integrations. The solution keeps up with the trend of Microsoft Copilot and AI."

More Tungsten TotalAgility pros

Cons

"In A2019 the dependencies that are being downloaded take a longer time that should be reduced. Migration utility should be provided so we can easily migrate from lower versions to higher versions."

"Compared to other RPA tools, the UI of Automation Anywhere is not that great and is not that easy to pick up for people, which takes more time for a newbie."

"The scalability of Automation Anywhere's cloud version is excellent, but the on-premise version is a waste of time and money."

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

"The IQ Bots need more out-of-the-box models to lessen the time required for model training. Their competitors provide more built-in models, which enhance capabilities in document processing."

"Automation Anywhere could improve its integration with Python and other programming languages."

"I noticed that from version 10.5 to 11.3 the number of clicks to start a bot through the Control Room and Schedule Manager have increased. In certain cases, I would like to see that become simpler, faster, and easier."

"We encountered issues during the upgrade of the framework. We were using the older framework of version 10.3.5. When we were upgrading, we were having a few issues in terms of getting the proper hardware and software prerequisites. For some things, like getting the controls of some of the application's tools, we were getting Automation Anywhere's help."

More Automation Anywhere cons

"I wish Fortra's Automate could shorten the time it takes to debug complex workflows because they tend to take much longer than expected."

"Currently, there are many instances where I see empty logs, indicating that, while tasks are scheduled, commands are not executing successfully."

"The licensing cost is high, as per my perspective, in the automation with Fortra's Automate."

"We really need a free development environment for customers. Building and testing automation on production isn't ideal."

"Automate could simplify the UI for creating a workflow for automation. As a technical person, I can understand it easily. However, there are few activities in the software that our HR department cannot understand."

"I would prefer not having to log in to update a ticket; being able to respond via email would be beneficial."

"Error messages should be better. For error status, there should be better documentation because a lot of times, error messages that you get are quite vague. For example, you get a message saying that the workflow has run into an unknown status, which is vague. It just tells you that it failed, but you don't know how or why it failed. It makes debugging difficult."

"Fortra's Automate is good overall, but the advanced logic is somewhat challenging."

More Fortra's Automate cons

"They provide sufficient but not excellent technical support. Perhaps there is a point where they could use some improvement."

"The initial setup is a bit complex - more than other OCR tools available in the market."

"The tool is not up to the mark at all for what we needed it for."

"User interface."

"Kofax TotalAgility is quite vast and complex as a product. We came from Kofax Capture and Kofax Transformation, then we started learning Kofax TotalAgility, so there are a lot of things that were quite straightforward in the Kofax Capture and Kofax Transformation cross-motion modules, but to do those in Kofax TotalAgility was a bit more complex or quite long-winded and could be improved. In the next release of Kofax TotalAgility, it would be good to have a straightforward low-code or no-code process because there were instances we struggled with having to put logic into a script or a .NET script, then calling that script, instead of the process being low-code, no-code."

"Kofax needs to improve the low-code or citizen developers rather than focusing on other cloud solutions for data extraction."

"Room for improvement would be better OCR functionality in terms of Arabic OCR. There should be better accuracy."

"The one thing I would like to see more of right now: is a simplified form creation. That would be the most significant improvement I would like to see in their product."

More Tungsten TotalAgility cons

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Automation Anywhere's pricing is significantly higher than other RPA solutions."

"This is a value for the money product."

"We have saved a lot of money on taxes based on the stuff that we run."

"Additional costs will be for the machines and the number of machines that you are using. You can deploy virtually as well as on physical machines. In both the situations, you do need to allocate a certain budget for securing the machines and where the software will be installed and running. The machines cannot be used for anything else, because only a certain bot can run at a certain time. You need to be very particular about your scheduling of running the bots, and while the bot is running nobody can use the machine. You cannot have an agent working on a machine and the bot running in the background. It has to be completely dedicated. Then there are the network bandwidth requirements and space requirements, which are additional costs apart from the licensing and software costs. The developer is also going to charge you for their coding time too."

"Automation Anywhere is affordable."

"As our team size increases, we may get some more licenses for the tool."

"The pricing model can be a bit more flexible."

"The pricing is fair. My company is part of a big organization, so the pricing is very advantageous."

More Automation Anywhere pricing and cost advice

"The pricing is quite reasonable. We can run the process with one bot. The limitation is at the server level because they have some resources, and sometimes that is enough. It isn't too expensive, so you can get a good return off of one, and you can also have a pack of five bots that is quite competitive."

"It comes with a package that costs approximately $20,000 USD per year."

"It has gone up in price. The price of Fortra's Automate has increased since we first started using it. It does a lot but also costs a lot. It was a lot more affordable before Fortra owned the software."

"While solutions like UiPath and Blue Prism cost around $11,000-$12,000 for each license, this product costs around $7,000 and you can keep it forever."

"Compared to other products, the pricing model for this solution is much more convenient, flexible, and adaptable to the Portuguese reality."

"Once you buy the software, you just pay for the support for backend help."

"The cost is a bit high for a small business like ours, but we manage with Fortra's Automate."

"I believe the price falls within a reasonable range, which significantly influenced our decision regarding the product. This aspect is crucial for any technological solution, especially in our country where enterprises might be hesitant to invest heavily in something untested or uncertain about its practicality and potential returns."

More Fortra's Automate pricing and cost advice

"It is slightly more expensive than other tools."

"The price of this solution is less than some of the competition."

"The licensing cost for Kofax TotalAgility is very expensive, though I'm unable to give you the range, the sales representatives of my company say that the product is quite expensive."

"Kofax TotalAgility is very expensive."

"It has a perpetual license. You pay once in a lifetime for the volume of scans you will do and the number of users you will have. You can have participants or regular users, and you can have developers and administrators. So, once you purchase it, it is for a lifetime, and then every year, you have to pay for the maintenance. There is an annual maintenance cost, which is about 18% of the licensing cost."
