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.

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

"My understanding is that the initial setup is pretty straightforward."

"It is easy to learn and easy to deploy. That is the best part compared to the other RPA solutions available in the market. Automation Anywhere is easier than UiPath and Blue Prism."

"Among the most valuable features that we've been able to utilize are the screen scraping and object cloning."

"My experience with Automation Anywhere is quite good because we can automate the whole end-to-end process with no human intervention, and we are able to focus on higher-value activities rather than working on the same repetitive tasks, which is quite important and gives the highest impact to the business as well."

"One of the most valuable features is IQ Bot. If you compare Automation Anywhere with any of the other organizations, we may get same type of RPA solution, as there are multiple organizations. But, IQ Bot was one of the primary reasons to choose Automation Anywhere. Using IQ Bot, we can extract more data out from the documents that are unstructured. Therefore, we need to do two things at the same time: We need to extract the information from image-based documents We need to make sure that the efficiency and accuracy of the extraction is improving with each extraction."

"The immediate impact is administrative tasks which were traditionally done manually are now being done by robots. This reduces the workload for people."

"By implementing processes using Automation Anywhere, we can save up to 3,000 euros within two weeks of development."

"This solution has decreased the time that our employees spend on manual processes."

More Automation Anywhere pros

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

"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."

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

"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."

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

"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."

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

"OCR technology is undoubtedly the most valuable feature and the feasibility of integrating data processes with AI and machine learning models is fascinating."

"The taxonomy and Validation Station are among the most helpful features for us. If anything is extracted incorrectly, we can manually extract it there."

"I like UiPath's machine-learning capabilities. My first impressions were good, but we only use it in a few processes. We intend to expand our use of these features in other situations, but we're still learning how to use the AI functions. We use the OCR much more."

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

"The solution removes manual processes and reduces human dependency. It takes a lot of effort to go through each physical mail or email, extract the data and transfer it to Excel. However, the solution automates the process and works 24/7. The tool gives a complete package to process and understand documents. The valuable features include taxonomy modification, classification, workstation, etc. There are out-of-the-box features like ML models which you can custom build. We have saved time with UiPath Document Understanding. We have seen a 50 percent improvement in scanning processes. Compared to humans, the tool runs 24/7. The human error rate has also been reduced. Our human error rate is five percent now compared to the previous 15 percent. UiPath Document Understanding has also freed up our staff who now spend more time on critical tasks."

"Previously, we needed three to four people for validating invoices, now we have scaled down to one part-time person who is mostly engaged in other responsibilities, with invoicing tasks occupying only around five percent of their work time."

"The most valuable feature is the ability for humans to train the bot."

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

Cons

"I am looking forward to seeing writing on Linux in the web and WorkBatch in the next release."

"One of the important drawbacks of Automation Anywhere is that it needs to be able to show the automated process as a single flowchart."

"The initial setup was a bit difficult and took more time than expected."

"There is still a way to go for Automation Anywhere where we can see improvement."

"We've struggled with some of the new features Automation Anywhere added in the latest version. For example, they added a new OpenAI package, but it took a while for me to find it in the actions menu."

"The support and user community need improvement."

"There is a limitation with Automation Anywhere where if you want to build your own packages and deploy them, it is very difficult."

"We have some ERPs tools which are not compatible with Automation Anywhere because they are legacy systems. We find that Automation Anywhere does not work with these at times. Just enabling the usability of Automation Anywhere on some of these legacy ERPs would help us, as we struggle regularly with this issue."

More Automation Anywhere cons

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

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

"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."

"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."

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

"If there were more integrations with Veracode or the AWS server, so we don't have to completely transfer our data and keep data on our servers, that might increase security."

"Right now, we are trying to use Instabase, which is another tool for document understanding. It may be one step ahead. It is faster than UiPath."

"I would like more flexibility in Document Understanding's validation center."

"There is room for improvement in handwriting processes."

"Sometimes, when the number of items is very large, the solution doesn't properly identify them."

"The downsides are that it's wildly overpriced."

"There is also room for improvement in long-running table extraction. If a table continues for more than 10 pages, in some cases, we have observed that it only extracts six or seven pages and skips the last pages."

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

More UiPath IXP cons

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The price is very reasonable."

"Cost-wise, it is fine. A lot of medium businesses prefer Automation Anywhere. The development cost is also lower."

"The Community Edition is a good offering from the company."

"No one is balking at the cost. They are market rates and will change, but no one is saying, "That is ridiculous or impossible." They are saying, "Show me the ROI and prove that the cost is accurate.""

"The setup and licensing cost is affordable, and it is not exaggerated like UiPath."

"We were paying approximately $30,000 for a year license."

"Its cost is good."

"There is an annual license to use the solution."

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."

"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."

"Our clients are concerned about the volume-based pricing model, as UiPath charges more than other vendors in the market."

"Its pricing can be looked into because it is on the higher side for developing economies, such as India, where the cost of labor is a little cheaper compared to advanced technologies."

"UiPath Document Understanding is expensive, with the basic annual package including 6,000 documents and the next package including one million documents, a huge price difference."

"The price for UiPath Document Understanding is a bit expensive."

"I used the community version, so there was no fee."

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