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.

Quicker compared to other bots but not very user-friendly
There is a need for NICE to be more user-friendly. It should be designed in such a way that any developer can easily develop bots. For instance, Power Automate provides a good example of a user-friendly design that NICE can learn from. Moreover, in terms of documentation, there is very little available for NICE, making it challenging to implement the bots. So, documentation should be improved as well. There are a lot of additional features that could be included in NICE. As the NICE Robotic Automation claims, it is a low-code solution, but that is not entirely true. They need to concentrate on the prerequisites and building blocks. There should be more options available internally that are easy to use and well-developed.

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 company continues with research and development to expand the capabilities of the product to meet market needs."
"The most valuable part is that it have the integrated OCR solution within it. All the other solutions do not have the right integration of the OCR solutions. You need to go to two different places to get one solution. Whereas, in IQ Bot, there is one area where you get all these solutions together in one area. That is the most important and beautiful point that I like about IQ Bot."
"Bot Insights is the most valuable feature; we don't have to struggle with generating metrics around how the bots are performing, and this information coming out of Automation Anywhere is useful to us because of the way the metrics are generated, which inspires confidence in our customers."
"Since our implementation, I can vouch for the fact that it is very easy to use. You do not need to know a lot of coding, even the business users, who have virtually no idea of coding, can easily operate it. They can run their bots and have the analysis ready for higher management. This is something which provides a great ease of use, and also in part why it is scalable."
"Automation Anywhere has positively impacted my organization by providing a lot of hours and dollars saved for many business teams across the company, and it helps spark ideas for people to look at their own business processes and learn how to automate them from end to end."
"Earlier users were converting the unstructured data from the PDF into the structured format to process the task but now, this activity is replaced by IQ Bot."
"The most valuable features of Automation Anywhere are Excel, periods, database, and email action."
"Automation Anywhere performs efficiently."
"It is a kind of desktop automation; its licensing model is a little bit different, and it tends to be individual automation specific to a role, and it excels at that."
"Robotic Automation has saved us time and money by moving our processes away from manual work."
"In terms of scaling and increasing the impact of automation, our center of excellence has been around for 11 months now, our target for the year was a saving of £2 million and we've just hit £2.4 million, which has given us just over a two-to-one return on investment and, by using that feature-based build that I mentioned earlier, where we take those component parts for login and logout or copy and paste from this spreadsheet to that one, we are forecasting a five-to-one return on investment within the next 24 months."
"Provides good automation features."
"The deployment of NICE Robotic Automation is easy."
"It resulted in over £1,000,000 in savings within that first month."
"It is easy to deploy because the installation packages are very simple and it doesn't require any maintenance."
"NICE is one of the only vendors that does attended and unattended out-of-the-box. Using the unattended processes we've been able to build a "feature library." We break each process down into workable chunks that we can save into a big library. The next time we come to automate a task, we already have chunks of that automation built."
"Its integration capabilities are valuable. It has low code/no code features. You have to do minimal coding."
"It is user-friendly and has good documentation."
"Being able to extract data from documents is great, and the capability of this tool is great as it can replace legacy applications and make everything very easy."
"Kofax TotalAgility is a single package. They provide you with OCR capabilities, BPM capabilities, and case manager features."
"Now it has an OCR, optical character recognition, engine where it can extract data from the document."
"The product is really good, and it is easy to use. It comes with multiple integrations. The solution keeps up with the trend of Microsoft Copilot and AI."
"Some of our clients previously spent about ten dollars per invoice for processing, but after using the Kofax Total Agility, I believe they are spending only about one to four dollars."
"It can be a good product for BPM; you can do BPM projects with it, do case management and capture extraction with Kofax TotalAgility, and it can also integrate quite seamlessly with third-party applications, so it is quite good."
 

Cons

"It still uses old, deprecated Microsoft components that have an end date."
"If I were to mention one area for improvement, it would be on advanced AI commands, such as advanced coding. While this is not critically needed since Automation Anywhere is doing great, improving in that area could be beneficial."
"Their Community Edition is awful. Every second day, it will fail. It will become corrupt."
"It would be great if they could do more third-party Salesforce integrations into the RPA side, which would be helpful."
"We don't have an ROI in any of our processes. We are just trying it out now to see if it works. We haven't had any savings yet. We have been putting more time in than saving time at this point."
"For smaller teams and during the onboarding, it takes a little while to figure out how to make things work."
"The scheduling is a little difficult at times."
"Automation Anywhere could use to be more stabilized."
"We haven't found it to be as powerful as some of the other platforms. From a true RPA perspective, it is pretty far behind some of the other solutions. It has emerged as a more desktop automation kind of tool, but it lacks a lot of enterprise features. It is not really a true RPA because of its licensing, which is kind of user-initiated. It would be nice it can be deployed at a more enterprise licensing model versus a user-based model. It didn't have autonomous automation so far, and they have just released this feature. They have kind of hodgepodged a bunch of products together to get there, but it is not as seamless as other solutions."
"We haven't found it to be as powerful as some of the other platforms. From a true RPA perspective, it is pretty far behind some of the other solutions."
"[During the upgrade] any issues, where it couldn't remotely connect to upgrade, I needed the floor plan so I could go to that PC and have a look at it. Often it was either that the PC was switched off or had a bug or some other application needed to be reset."
"Its connectivity with other applications should be improved. In the version that I was using, it would just stop interacting with the other application."
"The solution is not as intuitive as it could be and the integration took a lot of time."
"There are a few areas for improvement in the installation phase"
"Its connectivity with other applications should be improved. In the version that I was using, it would just stop interacting with the other application. Its graphical interface should also be improved. It should have a user-friendly interface. Sometimes, people find it very difficult to understand. One of the obstacles that I faced while programming was that if I needed any kind of help, there wasn't much content on the internet. It can be very difficult to find a solution for a particular issue."
"There is a need for NICE robotics to be more user-friendly."
"It’s not truly low code yet, as every two or three projects, you will have a situation where you have to go behind the essential things. You will definitely still need to customize."
"Sometimes there isn't enough accuracy when it comes to extracts."
"The form development could be improved."
"There needs to be more accessible certification and better pricing for Kofax TotalAgility."
"It would be nice if the tool has more connectors to different systems. It is an expensive solution."
"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."
"They provide sufficient but not excellent technical support. Perhaps there is a point where they could use some improvement."
"Kofax TotalAgility is quite vast and complex as a product. We came from Kofax Capture and Kofax Transformation, then we started learning Kofax TotalAgility, so there are a lot of things that were quite straightforward in the Kofax Capture and Kofax Transformation cross-motion modules, but to do those in Kofax TotalAgility was a bit more complex or quite long-winded and could be improved. In the next release of Kofax TotalAgility, it would be good to have a straightforward low-code or no-code process because there were instances we struggled with having to put logic into a script or a .NET script, then calling that script, instead of the process being low-code, no-code."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"We are not receiving the right information about their features, e.g. Automation Anywhere University, or anything that they are selling. They need to improve their documentation."
"I feel the cost of licensing is very high for the A2019 version."
"In terms of monetary savings, we automated a bot in three days that has saved us $30,000 in costs."
"I have heard that Automation Anywhere is expensive."
"Approximately, for a developer, it is around $750 for a license a year. For Bot Runners, it is about $550."
"We're paying a monthly subscription fee for the bot and for services. There are no additional costs beyond the standard licensing fee."
"I believe it is $10,000 for Bot Creator."
"Our annual licensing costs are around $100,000 a year."
"As per my understanding, UiPath has a much lesser cost than NICE, but I am not sure."
"Kofax TotalAgility is very expensive."
"It is slightly more expensive than other tools."
"The price of this solution is less than some of the competition."
"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 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."
