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.

Quality Assurance Team Lead at HCLSoftware
Process automation has improved case handling and now saves half of our daily manual work
Pega Platform has improved my business process overall. The manager confirmed that manual statuses are automated and manual evaluations are automated. For eight hours of work, it automates four hours of work. Pega Platform has features for operational efficiency that are significant. It provides a business security texture app, which is a valuable feature, and it also offers report definitions such as bar charts, pie charts, and operational help. In terms of management capabilities, Pega Platform provides dashboards and tools that help with management and categories. Pega Platform has good integration features, as integration can be done in many ways, and even for legacy systems, it is a strong feature. I did not encounter any problems with legacy systems. Pega Platform has good scalability. It is not difficult to scale up or down if there is a need.

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

"Automation Anywhere has helped save many man-hours in my organization by letting us automate monotonous and repetitive tasks."
"The standout qualities of Automation Anywhere were the ease of automation and that it is an intuitive tool. After a simple walkthrough, a couple of hours or two, you would be able to hit the ground running."
"The management works well."
"Document automation has indeed been beneficial in handling large volumes of documents in our organization, where we process product-related data sheets that range from 80 to 120 pages, efficiently extracting data that would take a human several hours to read manually."
"Pulling data from web pages using Object Cloning has been an absolute delight."
"I would rate Automation Anywhere overall a nine out of ten."
"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."
"Through the software, we have been able to reduce the time that we spend on manual, repetitive tasks so that we can focus on activities that add value to the business or to our partners and customers."
"In general, we use web services to integrate this solution with our other tools. It is the main approach we use with this solution and it integrates with all tools that we need. If you want to integrate with other solutions such ThreatFire or similar, it is possible as well."
"The most valuable feature of the product is that it's very customer-centric. It's easy to use for a customer or a user. It's also easy for someone who is developing an application. You can develop different features in just one place. You don't have to go to different places."
"Pega has got very good features and tools, and generally, whatever a customer demands, we are able to meet that demand."
"Pricing is a little on the high side."
"The flexibility of the Pega Platform in allowing use of different UI architectures, such as React and Angular, is also appreciated."
"The technical support from Pega is very low, rating a one or two out of ten."
"As a product I have to say that I think Pega BPM is the best right now, and the only problem that we have with Pega is the people."
"The most valuable feature of Pega BPMI would be the academy courses, specifically the Product Development Network (PDN). Additionally, our organization has a dedicated Customer Engagement Team that we work closely with to achieve our goals."
"The AI-powered features are incredibly important for operational efficiency; they are a game changer in terms of the accuracy of OCR and ICR."
"Since it provides both Capture and BPM on a single platform, it stands on its own in the business process improvement space."
"However, this solution is stable, and I have not seen any issues so far."
"Kofax TotalAgility helped us greatly in reducing manual work because comparing document content was done manually in the past, and now the comparison is completely done by the solution, and it's been a great help to our organization."
"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."
"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."
"Kofax TotalAgility is a great design tool for reading handwritten invoices."
"Now it has an OCR, optical character recognition, engine where it can extract data from the document."
 

Cons

"Another feature that would be cool to see in Automation Anywhere is more use of artificial intelligence."
"I believe Automation Anywhere can be improved by leading in the direction of seamless integration with the LLM models that are readily available today in the market."
"So far, the stability is not good. We are trying to improve this because we are facing a lot of instability issues."
"SMTP mail features should come with migration options. All kind of VB scripts and Java scripts which we built using exiting version should support in this version."
"I am looking into IQ Bot, but I wanted more out of it. I am dealing with a lot of scanned documents. I want to see if Automation Anywhere can scan client emails for us because our clients send emails with some incidents and issues. We want to see how automation can automatically do the processing and create some structured data or automate bots to get work done."
"The initial cost of Automation Anywhere, including license fees and integration costs, is high. It is challenging for business users to operationalize the tool independently."
"The stability of this solution depends on the processes, but I think that there is room for improvement in this regard."
"Productivity increased when we implemented Automation Anywhere, but it did not meet the client's expectations regarding the number of human workers it replaced."
"Customers expect more out-of-box solutions to be readily available"
"Pega Platform has a good reputation with its move into Pega GenAI, but there are times it slows down the systems when I have used the personal editions."
"Lack of stronger cloud support is somewhat inconvenient for users and implementation."
"From a room for improvement point of view, what I've seen is that many customers want solutions that directly meet their requirements so while Pega has somewhat vertical solutions on Pega customer service and sales automation, industry and customer experts expect more out-of-box solutions to be readily available on Pega."
"We have experienced a few technical challenges, particularly triggering the workflow through file drops and accessing files."
"They are currently spending some time on improving the product with respect to machine learning, especially related to robotic automation. They probably could be a little more adept on that area would help."
"The initial setup is never straightforward. It's always complex."
"Pega is claiming they're into low code but as per Gartner Magic Quadrant, Pega is not there now."
"They never stressed the lifecycle document management aspects of regulated processes effectively, which I think possibly represents a weakness."
"Customer service was very poor."
"They provide sufficient but not excellent technical support. Perhaps there is a point where they could use some improvement."
"Even though it has good documentation, key things are not being noted perfectly."
"User interface."
"Lacks sufficient inbuilt features."
"Sometimes there isn't enough accuracy when it comes to extracts."
"Room for improvement would be better OCR functionality in terms of Arabic OCR. There should be better accuracy."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Their licensing processes are in par with most industry standards."
"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."
"We paid separately for the Runner and Creater components. The final cost depends on the structure of your environment."
"The setup and licensing cost is affordable, and it is not exaggerated like UiPath."
"There are some additional costs beyond the standard licensing fees. There are a couple of add-ons we've looked at: The IQ Bot for OCR and machine-learning were add-ons, as well as the Bot Insights - the analytics."
"Automation Anywhere is expensive, making it suitable only for enterprise organizations."
"We have seen the tangible benefits of taking monotonous work off people's plates, creating capacity, and cost reductions."
"We have a few licenses. They cost roughly $10,000 each."
"The price could be lower."
"May be somewhat more expensive than other solutions initially, but should have enhanced return on investment."
"There are multiple Pega licensing models, including outcome- and revenue-based licensing models"
"I would rate the product's pricing a six out of ten."
"They need to come up with licensing options. Right now they do have a cloud-based option, but the cloud prices I've seen are much more expensive compared to competing products."
"They have both on-premise and cloud licensing. If you are a small to medium company, go for the cloud option because that eliminates a lot of the setting up of your DevTest and performance environments, multiple environments, because you can buy that from Pega with the cloud option. So your setup time really goes down. If you're a large company, then you're better off putting it within your company. You have other skill resources within your company to create environments."
"The licensing is on a yearly basis. Because of our special relationship, all the training certifications are free of cost. All our employees can do Pega certifications at zero cost. It is all on Pega."
"The product pricing is considered reasonable compared to other solutions in the market."
"Kofax TotalAgility is very 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."
"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."
"The price of this solution is less than some of the competition."
