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.

Good data ingestion and classification capabilities, supports various media types and formats, and the interface is easy to use

Currently, we're still using version 2-7-2, and now they're about to do the beta release on their version 2021. In this coming version, we expect that some of our issues will be fixed. We've had challenges in classification tasks where similar documents were flagged as multiple matches. The system would identify them and say, "Hey, I think I've got multiple matches. It could either be this one or that one." Because of that, it required us to instruct the system to either leave it unclassified, or we had to halt the process for somebody to look at it. With the new version for 2021, they have changed the paradigm. As it is now, we're using something called a form type, where pages within the document are referenced using a specific page number. For example, in a ten-page document, you might refer to information specifically on the first or fifth page. In the new paradigm, there is a first, middle, and last page concept, as opposed to having the different form types with all of the different pages. What they're telling me is that it's going to make the classification more accurate. Just because the first page of two different documents looks the same, they will not be considered duplicates. Having multiple points of reference will now allow it to better distinguish them. The other area we have had challenges with is table extractions, where if the data headers were not defined, or the tables did not have descriptions for the columns. My understanding is that in the 2021 version, they've now shown that they're handling that. Again, we don't have it and haven't been able to test it, but it's coming. Technical support is definitely an area that they need improvement in, in terms of the front-line individuals.

Robust document capture boosts efficiency and integration options

The best features include multiple channel capabilities such as fax, different file transfers, and paper scans. It can be integrated with multiple channels and can capture images, even from mobile devices integrating into OpenText Capture. Currently, it has introduced AI for data extraction and document processing. OpenText Capture's impact on automating document-intensive tasks such as accounts payables or loan processing is significant. It has the capability to capture table structures or multiple line items from images, including line items and final amounts for invoice processing. The main benefits of OpenText Capture are particularly valuable when capturing content and extracting structured or unstructured data. This product can be integrated into any point-of-sale system, Salesforce, SAP, or other environments, reducing manual data entry and related tasks. This feature has helped organizations handle large volumes of data with precision, especially regarding resource consumption. The automation reduces human effort that would otherwise be required for classification and extraction tasks.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The solution helps with reducing operational costs, which can be reduced by up to 30% to 40% in savings in terms of operational cost."

"Automation Anywhere helps improve our organization by allowing us to automate processes that should not be manual."

"When it comes to financials, Automation Anywhere has done amazing work in ensuring not only the speed and accuracy of the bot, but also the compliance and error controls through which the bot executes the job at very high satisfaction and tolerance levels."

"Automation Anywhere (AA) is really fast on the development side. It's an efficient and intelligent RPA tool, with a good engine and good connectors."

"The initial setup was straightforward. It is a very guided experience: out-of-the-box with Automation Anywhere University training."

"Automation Anywhere has a Bot Store. E.g., you can download the bot from the Bot Store and utilize it's data extraction capabilities. You can extract unstructured data through IQ Bot. Getting unstructured data is not difficult. I once obtained an 84 page PDF file using an IQ Bot. This was just the trial version, and it was really good. I was able to get all the circuit IDs and properties that wanted in a simple CSV format. I had not seen anything like this before. When compared to other platforms, such as UiPath, they don't have these capabilities right now. They have activities like PDF extraction, but that's not good enough."

"I would rate Automation Anywhere a nine out of ten."

"AA improves process consistency and reduces human error."

More Automation Anywhere pros

"Lexicons where the key vocabulary can be inputted it is very helpful."

"Grooper processes difficult sorts of data and unstructured or semi-structured content very well. It's probably one of the better solutions I've seen compared to other solutions I've seen out there. It does a lot more things like segmentation extraction. It does it a lot better. Grooper has more focus on these types of freeform documents where other solutions are very generic and this is a little more elaborate in what they've done. I think they take it to the next level of extracting freeform data."

"There are many options and customizations that you can make to each individual extractor that allows you to tweak it for exactly what you need."

"In certain types of jobs, I would estimate that using Grooper saves us 70% of the time it normally takes to complete it."

"Using Grooper has sped up our data entry process between two and eight times, depending on the exact process."

"The user interface is easy to use, and the flexibility is noteworthy."

"With Grooper, the old archive of information can be obtained with the models we built."

"So now we're doing stuff that takes literally minutes, or even sometimes seconds, and we've reduced the labor by a hundredfold."

"The main benefits of OpenText Capture are particularly valuable when capturing content and extracting structured or unstructured data, and this feature has helped organizations handle large volumes of data with precision, especially regarding resource consumption."

"It allows you to image capture, scan documents and use machine learning to automatically index and tie them."

"OpenText Intelligent Capture is pretty good."

"The solution is very powerful because it allows for custom scripting."

"We use it to capture documents coming through our product and mobile channels and make them available for our business to access and email. We use it to automate the email workflow in our applications, pull the documents, and email them to the users."

"The enterprise and capturing feature of OpenText is its valuable feature. As we have integrated CRM with OpenText."

"Being able to have accurate extraction is most valuable. It has machine learning and other tools to make the extraction more accurate."

"The automated version of the vendor invoice management is great, and it is helpful because it has reduced the human interaction in invoice processing."

More OpenText Capture pros

Cons

"Cognitive services and PDF file automation should be refined."

"The AA portal should not give us pop-ups every time a bot agent is updated."

"Currently, there are some vulnerabilities in security that need attention in Automation Anywhere."

"Right now, we are using a VM with Automation Anywhere installed inside it, but it would be nice if the solution could be used on macOS."

"As a developer, I would like to have copy commands available from one bot to another."

"The quality and response time of the support, even on Sev-1 tickets, is not satisfactory."

"The version that I used (10.3) was not that stable. It easily crashed in-between processes."

"The initial setup for the program was not straightforward. It was definitely complex."

More Automation Anywhere cons

"Grooper is new. It's new beta stuff, so we've had some issues, but that's understandable."

"Grooper is new. It's new beta stuff, so we've had some issues, but that's understandable. Getting the beta product to more of a true release is where it needs improvement. I'm going through training now, so it's hard to judge what they have and don't have until I get through that training. Training is the main thing for me because I'm trying to learn and take things I've learned from other products and try to transfer that knowledge to this one."

"If Grooper could "sense" important fields on the document and auto-build extractors for them, that'd be really cool."

"Technical support is definitely an area that they need improvement in, in terms of the front-line individuals."

"They should have more sub-extractors or exclusion extractors so that the user does not have to make a parent data type."

"There are few bugs that my superior has posted in the Grooper exchange that concerned errors with the OCR."

"Its functionality is good, but it has to be made more accurate. If it is not customized and handheld properly, the recognition and captures won't be accurate."

"Knowledge of .NET is required to effectively use the solution or it can be complicated."

"The area for improvement primarily centers around licensing concerns rather than technical issues. Captiva, intended for larger clients, poses challenges for medium and small businesses due to licensing costs. The current licensing model is based on volume, such as purchasing a volume for one million dollars per year for scanning. This pricing structure may be prohibitive for companies with constrained budgets. Another aspect requiring attention is the mobile capture feature, which, although experiencing recent enhancements in intelligent document processing through AI, could benefit from further improvements. Specifically, there is room for enhancement in enabling users to efficiently capture documents using their smartphones."

"The setup is medium complexity."

"We are using it to improve the image and the documentation for the cases. And sometimes, some cases have more than fifteen different types. We use some tools as fixed standard analysis and provide information to support the different types to take some decisions and help in an automated process. We choose the case type and subtype DNS scanning documents from the data entry up."

"I would say what most of the document management solutions are lacking is smartness to detect the duplicate storage of the documents."

"I have not seen any return on investment from OpenText Capture."

"If something is handwritten and attached to an email, it doesn't capture the information correctly."

More OpenText Capture cons

Pricing and Cost Advice

"If it is saving FTE and Generating a good ROI then it is Worth Investing."

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

"It is reasonable, but it can always be a little bit cheaper."

"In terms of pricing, it's not at all cheap, and that's a concern. The licensing cost is very high. While I don't know the exact prices of other tools, Microsoft offers the lowest pricing for its RPA platform compared to UiPath and Automation Anywhere."

"Licensing for Automation Anywhere (AA) is paid on a yearly basis. Out of all the RPA tools, it has the most value for money, e.g. what you pay is what you get."

"The price of this product is good."

"The control room access gives the ability to create different roles, which helps when purchasing additional licensing."

"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."

More Automation Anywhere pricing and cost advice

"Overall, their pricing is higher than the competitors, but they offer functionality that is otherwise not available."

"Know how many pages you will be needing to process, as the pricing is based on that."

"OpenText is an expensive solution."

"Some customers say the solution can get costly because it requires licenses or enterprise packages."
