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.

Automating processes has saved time and improved communication
Something frustrates me concerning Microsoft Power Automate, and that is about the integration with Microsoft Forms and Excel. The issue now is that I don't get my responses synchronized automatically, and that frustrates me a lot. If the team could take this as feedback, the synchronization of the feedback responses from the forms and the Excel sheets should be seamless. This synchronization issue happens frequently, and it causes a lot of delays in the sense that the mails that ought to go out to the agents fail at some point. I have to reload these responses so that the agents can get their responses as when submitted. What I notice is that the responses don't go out without proper synchronization, so I reload the field responses, and this works afterwards. I would say probably a seamless walkthrough process for new users would be beneficial. For those using it for the first time, a seamless walkthrough process would be fine.

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 OCR feature in Automation Anywhere is the best I have encountered, even better than Google."
"Our primary use has been to automate a few mundane tasks in the organization, which really helped us in this COVID situation, easing everyone's tasks, ensuring they were completed on time and without errors, keeping our customers happy, and enabling our vendors to help us meet customer satisfaction without compromising on anything."
"Since it is AI-powered, it automates our work; initially, we had many manual interventions, but now with the AI-powered capabilities, we are saving time and our productivity has increased."
"In Automation Anywhere, I appreciate the main UIs very much; they are very intuitive."
"I would rate Automation Anywhere a nine out of ten."
"Overall, Automation Anywhere is a very user-friendly and easy-to-use tool, and if clients are looking to implement automation into their business, I would definitely recommend Automation Anywhere over other tools because it is well-suited for their purposes and can be easily utilized."
"In finance, it has helped us deliver on productivity and provided us with FTE savings."
"The character extraction capability of IQ Bot is much, much better than the other OCR (Optical Character Recognition) engines that you have in the market today."
"The product is very reliable and very easy to use."
"We used it to track the vaccination status of all employees, about 90,000 employees, triggering reminders whenever an employee's vaccination was coming up."
"The solution integrates well with Microsoft Office and other Microsoft solutions."
"The solution is great for some of our backend processes, for example, accounting and financial processes, and also for IT batch processes."
"The pricing of the solution is competitive, which is good for the Romanian market."
"The email routing, consolidation of the reports, and management features are strong."
"We use it for automating our business processes, sending reminders and these sorts of things, and every Excel update also happens through Power Automate."
"I like that Power Automate gives us a connector to be able to connect different data sources or different software, and it is very easy to connect, authenticate, and automate our daily routine tasks."
"Data extraction and auto-classification are great features."
"It's not so complex to design what you need to."
"This is a great product, a BPM tool with capture facilities."
"Great with recognition providing a high level of confidence."
"I think Kofax is a good product, and I would definitely recommend it to anyone looking for document extraction or classification, or data extraction from structured and unstructured documents."
"However, if you want different capabilities and other things, then definitely, Kofax is the very best tool."
"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."
 

Cons

"Because we are very new to our process, so we're still sort of working through it."
"It should have more commands, which should remove the dependency on MetaBots or other scripts so that everything is available in the tool itself."
"I would like better support. The technical support is mediocre. The support is sometimes really good, and sometimes it is really bad."
"We tried Citrix six months ago, but the solution that they gave us did not work in our environment."
"Automation tools have a lot of dependency on the environment, particularly on machines. Reducing this dependency could increase success."
"The technical support has been a little slow to respond to our inquiries."
"We had had issues with scalability. Recently, we had a use case which we were working on, but we could not do it because Automation Anywhere could not connect to the system."
"It still uses old, deprecated Microsoft components that have an end date."
"The product should improve its RPA capabilities."
"I need to have more integration capabilities from this solution. It's limiting us right now."
"I would like to have chatbot assistance available, where you can open it and receive help on the spot."
"I was working on it for around three days and then took a break of about two days. When I went back to it, all of the Excel, and all the Excel functions, just disappeared. Completely vanished. When I looked up the help, it said that sometimes that happens when you're not connected to the internet."
"If someone was just about to start using it, it would be better if it was a bit more user-friendly in terms of understanding function references. I come from a bit of development background. To me, it all makes quite a lot of sense, but someone using it for the first time would probably battle understanding how the functions work. This might be something they could improve on. It would be really useful if it could publish data to Power BI. We like to use Power BI for our reporting, but we can't directly integrate the data across. If there was a way to automate the collection of the data and push it straight into the Power BI platform, it would be quite useful."
"Power Automate could be improved by adding an internal fuzzy lookup or fuzzy match feature."
"The solution's licensing model is very complex and not straightforward."
"Something frustrates me concerning Microsoft Power Automate, and that is about the integration with Microsoft Forms and Excel."
"Lacks sufficient inbuilt features."
"Kofax should improve its handwritten extractions."
"The Transformation Designer of KTA can be made better."
"Customer service was very poor."
"User interface."
"TotalAgility needs to improve communication with ECMs or other file storage systems because TotalAgility does not have file storage. A good improvement would be to create file storage or integrate with other file storage tools that are currently available."
"Kofax TotalAgility could improve the OTR engine. The page OTR engine is not accurate in predicting the data properly. If you provide many features which are good for business process management without an accurate OTR engine people will not want it."
"The tool is not up to the mark at all for what we needed it for."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Annually, we are paying almost one million reais."
"It saves on the quality of work, because the quality can be bad when somebody's doing it. If a bot does the work, it's faster and comes with good quality. These are two important things along with the cost saving in the long run. That's where the value is."
"In terms of monetary savings, we automated a bot in three days that has saved us $30,000 in costs."
"The Community Edition is a good offering from the company."
"Annual licensing costs would be about $100,000."
"I'm not sure what the monthly licensing cost is, as that is taken care of by another team, but I would say it's around $100,000."
"Our annual licensing costs for the entire company are $100,000."
"On average, a bot runner in Automation Anywhere can cost $5,000, while in Microsoft Power Automate, you can get most of the same functionality for $100."
"It had by far the fairest licensing on the market. For the money, you got a very good value."
"The licensing model is flexible in that you can pay per automation or per user. My client receives a discount because of the large number of users and pays approximately $15 for each one."
"It depends and varies a lot according to the licensing terms. There is no cost to maintain if we have less than 10 forms. Microsoft only charges if there are more than 10 forms. So, most of the companies can survive without paying anything extra. It is included in the Office 365 licensing."
"I don't deal with the financial side. I know that we pay for a per-user license. It is probably less than $20 a user, but I am not sure about the exact figures."
"The solution is free with Microsoft 365."
"When we purchase the Microsoft Dynamics license, the Power Automate license is often free, albeit with some limitations, such as a certain number of transactions per user."
"I would rate the pricing an eight out of ten, with ten being expensive because there are charges for additional plug-ins."
"My company switched to a monthly payment for the WinAutomation by Softomotive license. I don't have the exact figure, but it roughly amounts to 500 Euros a year which isn't bad."
"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."
"The price of this solution is less than some of the competition."
"Kofax TotalAgility is very expensive."
"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."
"It is slightly more expensive than other tools."
