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.

Assistant Manager at a tech vendor with 10,001+ employees
Automation has transformed payables and receivables but still requires manual handling of exceptions
A specific example of a test case that failed during UAT for HighRadius Accounts Payable relates to the cash applications process when receiving payments from customers. We have two types of customer or vendor payments: miscellaneous payments and customer or vendor direct payments. Direct payments need to be applied to customer or vendor invoices, and those cases passed as expected. However, miscellaneous payments need to be posted to the journal entry rather than customer or vendor invoices. HighRadius Accounts Payable lacks the capability to handle these cases, so manual intervention is needed for them. HighRadius Accounts Payable can be improved in cases where once payments are loaded into the system, users can easily filter exceptions where the system is unable to perform the work. Users can then focus on those cases, perform cross-checks and double-checks, and verify that the payments are applied correctly. This method would improve accounts payable processes. An improvement is needed when we receive payments that need to be tagged to multiple vendors or multiple customers. We can add multiple vendors or customers in one instance, but if we receive the same scenario in the future, we must add multiple vendors and customers into HighRadius again. This process needs improvement from HighRadius.

Sage Intacct Technical Consultant at a manufacturing company with 11-50 employees
Has reduced manual effort through customization and streamlined API-based integrations
The best features Sage Intacct offers include the import functionality, support for customization, and the platform that allows me to modify whatever I want. The triggers and reports are built very well and user-friendly, so I can modify this, and this is one of the best features it provides. The import functionality helps because once I download the template from Sage Intacct, I can fill out the specific columns with the data that I need to import into the system, and it will do the work instead of adding those details manually. The platform services allow me to add functionalities such as sending an email once I generate any AP bill or approve vendors. Additionally, I can call external API services or Sage Intacct API to validate those fields, which is good for users. Sage Intacct has positively impacted my organization through improved collaboration and saved time. I can import data easily, and since it is user-friendly, I encounter fewer errors. For example, the work I used to do in one or two days now gets completed in one or two hours.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"It provides, not only hard benefits, but also soft benefits, leaving the human mind free of all voluminous repetitive tasks so workers can do the work that they are intended to do, which is thinking."
"I really like Screen Recording because it is used to record a task or a series of actions."
"This solution saves time when completing our pharmaceutical processes, which allows things to progress faster to the FDA."
"Sometimes the customer will not provide any data. Using Automation Anywhere, we can easily automate to capture the customer data. Then, we can use that customer data inside the Cisco Unified Wire Voice Portal."
"Customers also are looking for the kinds of solutions that help enable their workforces to be more effective."
"The insights provided by the dashboard are excellent."
"This Testing Anywhere is a good tool for the functional testing and also good for the beginners in Automation who don't have knowledge in scripting."
"In most of the use cases, both time and cost are being saved, which is the reason they are using these automations."
"HighRadius Accounts Payable has positively impacted our organization, as we reduced 8 to 9 team members because the system can automatically handle accounts receivable and accounts payable processes, saving time and reducing the need for human intervention to only exception cases."
"Since switching to HighRadius Accounts Payable, I can share that before, we could only process 30 items in Siebel because of the lags, but in HighRadius Accounts Payable, we can process 60 items or deduction claims."
"HighRadius Accounts Payable has significantly reduced the manual work and workload we have had because we used to manually reconcile cash, with accountants applying receipts manually, and that process has been largely eliminated due to automation, providing us with room to carry out other value-adding processes."
"We have increased collections by more than 20 to 30 percent due to using HighRadius Accounts Payable, and regarding the percentage of hours, we have saved about one to two hours per week due to this tool."
"HighRadius Accounts Payable has positively impacted my organization mainly through cost efficiency, as the time for doing work from external sources was reduced drastically and the costs were also reduced, allowing the creation of new opportunities in the company, as some positions that were previously separated to do regular tasks became more interactive."
"Sage Intacct is a great app that makes our work much easier."
"Sage Intacct has positively impacted our organization by being flexible and easy to use; everyone working on Sage Intacct has an accounting background, and they are able to use it with minimal training because of its user-friendly interface."
"The product is easy to use."
"Sage Intacct, a full-fledged ERP, can handle complexity that smaller accounting software cannot handle."
"Sage Intacct has positively impacted my organization by providing the opportunity to delete or edit any incorrect journal entry at the same time or in the prior or post-period after posting that particular entry."
"I would say Sage Intacct is a great tool, and others looking into using it should evaluate how big their company is and if it is worth the amount they have to pay because it is a very robust system."
"We also use some of the other Sage solutions and for the most part, everything was integrated in the manner that I found beneficial."
"It's a top-tier upgrade for the finance department and does extend into full ERP."
 

Cons

"I am looking for artificial intelligence and machine learning. I hope that they introduce them in A2019."
"I would like a better code migration solution, because this is something that we do a lot."
"The key area where improvement can happen is understanding the different perspectives and different industries that they're serving in terms of industry-wise use cases."
"Custom models with advanced features can be included in the IQ Bot models for unstructured and semi-structured data."
"There is definitely some room for improvement there. It is sort of a hit and miss with their support engineers, you have some really good ones and some that aren't."
"They could improve the environmental stabilizing issues. There are a lot of environmental issues when rolling over from one environment to another, higher environment. This is the one thing they definitely need to look into."
"AA has many features but the issue is with the loss of overhead on computing resources. For example, if the bot is encrypted, the bot should decrypt it first then act accordingly. If there are issues with the logic in the bot, there will be a lot of computer memory overload. There should be an additional feature for cloud functionality."
"The solution should include an analytics dashboard. As the space is maturing, many vendors sell functionalities as separate components so this is not unique to the solution."
"If HighRadius Accounts Payable could utilize AI better, I would say that having communication with other systems like Microsoft or SAP would be beneficial."
"I think HighRadius Accounts Payable can be improved in the cut-off time or the cut-off timing because I think they are linked to the SAP system, so we have a cut-off time in HighRadius Accounts Payable when clearing a deduction."
"HighRadius Accounts Payable lacks the capability to handle miscellaneous payments that need to be posted to the journal entry rather than customer or vendor invoices, so manual intervention is needed for them."
"Customer support is not good; initially, we had support directed to Poland, but we recently moved to the HighRadius Accounts Payable team, which is a bit better."
"The change order process in Sage Intacct could be smoother and easier, and I believe the ability to perform lien waivers and invoices in bulk, as well as improvements in inventory management, could enhance the system."
"The page expires really fast if I have idle time or am working on something else while finding an amount or looking at an invoice."
"Sage Intacct is very strong overall, but if I had to suggest improvements, I would say the learning curve could be smoother for new users."
"We have had some pharma manufacturers use Intacct at a very early stage and move to other ERP packages to maintain manufacturing controls and documentation needed for FDA-regulated entities."
"While we can create, post, and manage general entries, we face a limitation in allocating multiple JL accounts."
"Sage Intacct occasionally experiences lag while we are working online."
"I see room for improvement in Sage Intacct, specifically regarding reporting, as it should be more versatile with the data; more add-on data would provide many more options, especially since API calls can be quite difficult."
"Customer support can be improved, as they sometimes respond with a delay. For instance, if I expect a response in two days, I receive it in four to five days."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Our licensing costs are setup on an annual basis."
"Complaints are generally about the cost of IQ Bot, which is higher than its competitors. The base model’s pricing is comparable to other platforms with attended, unattended, and IDP capabilities as well."
"Automation Anywhere offers a subscription-based licensing model for cloud, on-premises, and hybrid deployments."
"If we count the integrations that we have done with Appian, which is where a lot of our savings is from, we are well over a million dollars in savings. This is from only doing development for about a year and a half."
"We just did a round of price comparison on a global scale and found it's so hard to compare the license prices. But, Automation Anywhere, in general, is on the same price level as the other vendors, a bit lower in some cases."
"Approximately, for a developer, it is around $750 for a license a year. For Bot Runners, it is about $550."
"They recently launched a Community Edition, which is okay, but they should have done this a long time ago."
"We generally follow the Gain-Sharing Pricing model, which enables the customer to start getting the RPA benefits right from day one of their implementation."
Information not available
"The price is comparable to other companies which offer similar products."

"Compared to other ERP systems on the market, it offers competitive and reasonable pricing."
"It's reasonably priced, offering fixed pricing, which is quite fair."
