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.

Has improved analytics and reporting but needs better integration and support
To improve IBM Robotic Process Automation (RPA) for the next release, there should be more integration with external systems, and more integration with IBM's data and AI platforms is needed. There is an AI part in IBM Robotic Process Automation (RPA) for Machine Learning, but IBM has another platform specifically for data and AI, which is integrated right now. More features are hoped for in the future.

Automated document extraction has reduced manual paperwork and improves inspection accuracy
One area of KODAK Info Input Solution that I would like to see improved or enhanced in the future is support, especially sales support. Technical support is adequate. For example, when we were negotiating about the pricing of the solution, the sales support was interested more in us buying the plan, but they were not explaining what the benefits of this solution are or how it is going to help us. The focus was specifically on buying the plan, which I saw was not good. Another thing is about the interface. The interface should be improved. It looks a little bit outdated compared to other modern SaaS platforms. If they can improve on the UI and interface, that would be helpful. To be honest, what we purchased KODAK Info Input Solution for is executing our plan. I don't think I'm not aware about that. Maybe other features should be included, but the features we currently have in KODAK Info Input Solution help execute our plan. If they can improve on analytics, that would be great. The AI summary can tell you what you have, but analytics are not adequate. As I mentioned before, we have to export our data to another third-party tool, Tableau, to analyze our data.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"Now, rather than the team going and collecting all of that information, we can have the bots do it, and that has been fantastic."
"By providing the companies with such a useful and productive tool, they save a lot of time and money on tasks that can be performed by small bots."
"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."
"I love the Bot Store. I encourage a lot of my staff to use it, because it changes the game and the time that it takes to build automation. It has a lot of reusable things that you can use off the bat."
"It helps increase productivity by 20% to 30%."
"Using this solution has freed internal operations employees to do more "human value-add" work by removing mundane manual tasks."
"It is easy and simple to use with its drag and drop functionality."
"By implementing the Automation Anywhere robot, we have reduced the FTE count and it was able to process 800 invoices per day with 100% accuracy."
"If you have a business process, and once you have automated that process, you have a readily available workflow in place."
"We are aiming, by the end of the year, to record about $10,000,000 in savings just by automating the processes that we have identified so far."
"Integrating the tool with SAP, EBS, or other ERPs is easy."
"The solution’s performance is good."
"The solution is very user-friendly."
"The analytics and reporting tools in IBM Robotic Process Automation (RPA) are the best compared to all other RPAs because all other RPAs only use dashboards while IBM is the only one to have a reporting tool that includes dashboards."
"I like the integration with Watson and the possibility to have an intelligent reading of all the customers' documents."
"The solution's ease of use is its most valuable aspect."
"The KODAK Info Input Solution offers fast workflows for extracting information from even the largest documents."
"I rate KODAK Info Input Solution a ten out of ten."
"The KODAK Info Input Solution collects data automatically, which saves time, unlike when someone has to enter data manually."
"What makes KODAK Info Input Solution perfect is that it has comprehensive capabilities, features, and tools including its own printers and scanners that can easily connect and share information."
"The KODAK Info Input Solution's customer support is the best."
"The return on investment with KODAK Info Input Solution is excellent because it has helped us so much and, although we pay $4,800 annually, in return it saves a lot of our time."
"The most valuable feature of KODAK Info Input Solution is the open intelligence piece, the ability to consume five different OCR engines."
"I find the pricing of KODAK Info Input Solution to be friendly and affordable because before implementing the software in our company, our system manager discussed it with us and we found the pricing to be reasonable, which is why we recommended it."
 

Cons

"I don't think Automation Anywhere is easy to use for business users who do not have technical skills."
"My main issue with Automation Anywhere might be the logging of bots and getting more detailed feedback of what my bot is doing, step by step. It is hard to track fine-tuning in larger codes."
"It would be great if they could do more third-party Salesforce integrations into the RPA side, which would be helpful."
"In the A2019 community edition, while running its taking time to run RPA bots and having few bugs related to IQ Bot server connectivity and other things."
"There have been many instances, particularly in my previous organization where we did a lot of development in Automation Anywhere, catering to clients like CPA firms in America, where we raised tickets for solutions but did not always find a satisfactory resolution, despite connecting over a call."
"The licensing model could be a lot less complex, mainly due to their different structures, which are not straightforward."
"I would like OCR for video and text using the IQ Bot. It should also be available in an email tag format."
"The bot insides should come in the same package versus having it as a different bundle by itself. If we could have this product come with all the inside solutions altogether, that would help."
"From my point of view, the RPA from IBM is not yet in touch enough with the clients. They are not taking the client's perspective into consideration, and they don't guide them enough throughout their journey to RPA."
"There are certain limitations in the solution for screen reading."
"IBM RPA is an unstable solution."
"I think it's complex, and not straightforward."
"I would like to improve the efficiency of this solution and the Surface Level Agreement."
"I would like it to do pretty much everything out-of-the-box without any need for any customization. However, that is not the case right now. We absolutely have to do some amount of customization with the solution in order to use it out-of-the-box as-is."
"We are looking to see how it can connect with various interfaces seamlessly, through APIs."
"The time it takes for approvals, and risk analysis could be faster."
"The KODAK Info Input Solution can improve its connection with scanners. It connects most effectively with Kodak's own scanners, specifically the S S S SMAX Scanners, while connections with other brands, such as Epson or HP, can take more time."
"Integrating KODAK Info Input Solution with other software, such as Laserfiche, presents challenges due to inadequate documentation and an unintuitive web services interface."
"The only area I think KODAK Info Input Solution could improve on is making their user interface more user-friendly and offering full customer customization of features."
"Sometimes there is an accuracy problem with KODAK Info Input Solution. Sometimes while connecting to the database, it shows errors, such as SQL login failed, your port is blocked, or not reachable."
"The most significant area for improvement in the KODAK Info Input Solution is its ability to support custom definitions and auto-learn."
"The main challenge concerns the mobile application."
"One area of KODAK Info Input Solution that I would like to see improved or enhanced in the future is support, especially sales support."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"I don't deal have cost specifics but I can say it is a tool that provides value for the money."
"It's cheaper than other similar solutions."
"I don't know exactly what the pricing schemes are for the product as this type of negotiation is not my responsibility, but I think the basic pricing comes to $15,000."
"The pricing strategy for us is one license for development. It is more complicated than that depending on the options you choose."
"They sell it by license, but if they could charge by case or by interaction, that might be better. Right now, it's expensive when you want to scale or use them for simple processes."
"I think the solution's pricing is reasonable."
"I believe it is $10,000 for Bot Creator."
"The solution is costly and the licensing is very confusing."
"I rate the pricing ten out of ten. So, the pricing is very good for me."
"The pricing is reasonable."
"IBM RPA is cheaper than other tools."
"The pricing is reasonable for this solution."
"The product is reasonably priced compared to other tools."
"The product has a yearly licensing fee."
"There is a free trial for one month, so you can use it to run your payloads or proof of concept. After that, you can pay for the license on a monthly or annual basis."
"The license is paid annually."
"Although KODAK Info Input Solution's pricing is competitive within the industry's consumption-based model, its approach is overly complex."
"The pricing of KODAK Info Input Solution in Mexico is very expensive, and the government's purchasing process requires convincing many stakeholders."
