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.

RPA Technical Solution Lead at Infomentum

Helps automate processes but needs to offer different licensing models to users

Right now, I am not working on process mining at the minute. Before I switched to the company, I worked extremely closely with the process mining tool from UiPath, SAP BTP, and the process mining that they had created. I am working with MuleSoft Automation and Anypoint. We are not doing any sort of process mining at the minute, but in my company, because MuleSoft is one of the only RPA tools that we are looking at, we have another application called Appian that we are trying to explore now. Appian has process mining capability, which is why we thought we would look at it along with AI capabilities.

Automates browsing tasks without needing a server connection

I have worked with Microsoft Power Platform and UiPath. Kofax RPA offers a comprehensive solution with built-in capabilities for executing tasks like running Excel files and web automation without additional servers. They provide their browsers and extensions. For functions such as OCR, image processing, and data extraction, Kofax has built-in features powered by their engine, eliminating the need for subscriptions to external technologies like Microsoft Cognitive Services or Google Search. One of Kofax RPA's strongest features is its on-premise solution, which is particularly beneficial for organizations operating in regions with data regulations, such as the UAE.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"It has saved us a lot of hours, manual effort, and we can focus on more important tasks, which helps us with our ROI."

"I would rate Automation Anywhere overall a nine out of ten."

"We've delivered tremendous value in a really short amount of time and gotten a lot of support from our organization."

"The efficiency we get with Automation Anywhere is valuable."

"With Discovery Bot, we can even have our business people enabled with process finding and do an evaluation on whether it can be converted into an opportunity."

"We found that RPA with additional AI capabilities, such as machine learning and Computer Vision, can enable the organization to augment existing business operations by creating efficiencies and improving the accuracy of data to be processed, without changing too much of the existing system."

"As a tool, IQ Bot is easy to use, powerful, and very competitive compared to others."

"We are making less mistakes and have more metrics available to understand what our problems are. Now, we can do root cause analysis and have less noise in the system during the process."

More Automation Anywhere pros

"Contextor is a good solution for a Citrix environment. It's the first with this tool. Other tools provide the same functionality, but not with the Citrix environment."

"Scalability is fine. It is pretty nice."

"Contextor is a good solution for a Citrix environment."

"It is remarkably easy to configure and code, and it doesn't require an extensive technical background or coding expertise."

"Most of the details are already in the help portal and SAP notes are available. It is well documented as part of the product support."

"The initial setup of SAP Contextor is easy."

"The standout features of SAP Intelligent RPA are its flexibility and integration capabilities."

"SAP Contextor has improved our organization by giving us better operational efficiency."

More SAP Intelligent RPA pros

"It is very simple and easy to learn compared to any other RPA tools such as UiPath, Automation Anywhere and Blue Prism."

"It's a good product."

"Kofax RPA has provided our organization with a lot of savings in many different areas and we have improvements in data quality."

"It is a stable product."

"You can automate browsing tasks without needing a server connection. The platform provides its browser, allowing you to run anything inside it."

"Kofax handles UIs via the browser well. If it's not possible, they have other features like modeling screen scrapes, etc."

"Provides valuable tools working in integration with RPA tools."

"The tool's most valuable feature is web browser automation, which makes it easy to interact with any website. We can assemble a robot in a few hours with web automation, depending on its complexity."

More Tungsten RPA pros

Cons

"It would be helpful if we could start running a process from a particular step."

"I have experienced the issues of UI getting stuck. There seems to be an issue with server stability. This is something that can be better."

"Not all data is good quality. This presents a challenge for automation, which is important."

"Working with the Automation Anywhere servers and domains have proven to be difficult. We are trying to get more licenses and servers set up, so we can run multiple scenarios simultaneously."

"I would rate Automation Anywhere's support a four out of ten because the support is horrible for all customers."

"The availability of material in terms of more technical documentation could be improved, particularly in-depth information about how things can be done."

"We have used the technical support. I am quite unhappy with the support part."

"One area requiring improvement is the debugging process. When I use a multi-structure with conditions to switch from one bot to another, successful debugging of the entire process is not feasible. Each bot has to be debugged individually."

More Automation Anywhere cons

"The support is expensive."

"One way SAP Intelligent RPA could improve is by integrating built-in DI services for document processing."

"There should be more of an error, like a proper error feature, in future releases. Sometimes, we don't understand why that automation is not learning what, like, where it is stuck, or what is the reason like, or what is the criteria we are missing to add. So a proper error message would be helpful."

"I would like to see a better capacity for unstructured data, for example, PDF, or text within images."

"SAP Contextor could improve by automating some processes."

"The initial setup is of medium complexity. It is neither too hard nor too simple. You need some background in SAP and an understanding of it."

"The tool's licensing has been kind of a challenge...At the moment, the tool does not offer different licensing models to users."

"I found that the SAP scripting of a program is easier than SAP Contextor."

More SAP Intelligent RPA cons

"For additional features, I'd like to see a recording function and a more simple interface."

"It needs a free training portal for anybody on the internet to use so that they can get an idea of what the possibilities are."

"The process discovery could be a bit better."

"The HR and IT areas of the product need to be improved."

"The technical support must be improved."

"Kofax RPA needs to improve integration with SAP and Microsoft. The professional services offered by the tool's team is below par. Its licensing needs to be more modular."

"The interface could be better from a usability standpoint."

"Kofax RPA's UI could be more user-friendly."

More Tungsten RPA cons

Pricing and Cost Advice

"It is expensive. Automation Anywhere has reduced the price slightly, as we have grown. However, the price is still excessive enough that we are engaged in PoCs on other tools."

"Annually, we are paying almost one million reais."

"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."

"In terms of pricing, it's not at all cheap, and that's a concern. The licensing cost is very high. While I don't know the exact prices of other tools, Microsoft offers the lowest pricing for its RPA platform compared to UiPath and Automation Anywhere."

"I would rate the cost of Automation Anywhere as a six out of ten, with ten being the most expensive."

"We have seen a return of investment because it takes less time to market in our current process. I would estimate a times savings between 20 to 30 percent."

"We're just starting to renew our license, and we were quoted $115,000 without the IQ Bot. The IQ Bot is another $30,000. This is with very limited pages, as we go through our first projects. The majority of the cost was for ten days of onsite training."

"It is subscription-based. They have different schemes. The price depends on how you negotiate with the local partner or local representative in your country."

More Automation Anywhere pricing and cost advice

"The initial cost might seem higher, but over time, with continued use over five or ten years, the cost tends to decrease, making it a more economical choice."

"It all comes with a bundle right now. Having advanced features, it is competitively priced."

"The pricing is not that expensive. It is manageable."

"This is not a tool or software with a license as others are. The SaaS model is based on the usage of the tool."

"The solution’s license is not expensive."

"Price is not a problem, because they are a competitor and we have a special rate."

"There is a standard license needed to use Kofax RPA and the price is reasonable."

"I don't have complete insight at this point in time, but I would guess that Kofax is a lot less expensive than Automation Anywhere. I would expect its license to be on a yearly basis."

"Kofax RPA is moderately priced but expensive in comparison to UiPath and Power Automate."

"Its pricing is reasonable given the product capabilities. Kofax has a wide range of products, and it can sometimes be confusing to understand which capabilities come with which product set. One of the key facets that we've been looking into recently is cognitive document recognition that was a core pile of some of their other technologies such as Kofax transformation modules (KTM)."

"The pricing model for automation solutions like Automation Anywhere, UiPath, and Microsoft Power Platform is subscription-based, where costs are calculated based on factors such as the number of hours used and the scale of automation required.......With Kofax, you purchase a license upfront, and that's all you need. You can create as many automation workflows as you require without additional costs for individual use cases."

"The cost depends on the number of licenses and the number of RPAs."
