We performed a comparison between ABBYY Vantage and Automation Anywhere (AA) based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two Robotic Process Automation (RPA) solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."ABBYY Vantage has been designed as a user-friendly solution, making the setup process require only a couple of days."
"ABBYY Vantage has reduced our data because it can classify and extract information from documents."
"ABBYY Vantage is user-friendly...The deployment process can be done in a few minutes."
"The whole idea of designing your own templates is pretty much the bread and butter of the product, but that's really the best part because you can design flexible templates."
"Vantage is flexible and customizable. It's a low-code/no-code tool, so you don't need to get into detailed coding. You can also use AI to accomplish medium-complex tasks."
"The solution responds well to automatic document classifications with a 90% success rate."
"The most valuable feature is the ability to capture data from documents with different formats."
"I like the flexibility of the layout. For example, for the documents that we're using, this is the main feature that is very useful and makes it flexible for extraction."
"We have staff who have been moved out of the mundane tasks and are now doing value-added activities."
"It frees individuals up from mundane tasks so they can concentrate on being more active and creative other things that they need to do."
"The dashboards are excellent."
"We can access it anywhere. E.g., I can access dashboard from my Control Room on my mobile app using Automation Anywhere."
"Bot Insights is the most valuable feature. We don't have to struggle with generating metrics around how the bots are performing. This information coming out of Automation Anywhere is useful to us because of the way the metrics are generated. It inspires confidence from our customers."
"There are things that used to take us a lot of time, like manual entries or HR queries, but now that the bots are in place, we are saving a lot of time."
"The most valuable feature is the Excel operations because the most repetitive task which we used to do was Excel operations. Automation Anywhere has the Excel commands feature where we can run Excel Macros, which is very valuable. It's saving so much time for us."
"Efficiency is something that has increased a lot. Productivity has increased a lot too."
"The generic models have a lot of areas to improve. In our experience, we are not able to get good results in the generic models. From a developer's point of view, there could be more improvement if the source code is available on a broader scope"
"I would like to see a machine learning model to make the solution more intelligent."
"The accuracy changes depending on the scenario so you need to test it before committing to this solution."
"It could be more intuitive. It's huge and has many options, and that makes it difficult. You have to go to Google and search for documents and videos to try and understand how it works. Some tools or processes or some parts of the process should be intuitive to make it easier for the developers."
"There is an area of improvement. For example, when we read the data from the OCR, the accuracy is not good."
"We would like the workflow building within this solution to be more transparent, which would allow us to model the process."
"They should improve the RESTful API side of this solution. Currently, fully RESTful API is not available in the on-prem version, which is really a problem, and we have to work around this limitation. The cloud version already has a fully RESTful API, but the on-prem version doesn't have a fully RESTful API, which is a big mistake. It is easy to solve, but they aren't solving it quicker. They are taking a long time. Nowadays, most people don't go to the interface. They like to use RESTful API."
"The integration with UiPath is not good. I would like to see more documentation and guides to help gain more in-depth knowledge of how to use ABBYY FlexiCapture."
"With Automation Anywhere, it took us a bit of time to stand it up initially. We tried to do it in a virtual environment, which caused us a bit of headache. It could have been smoother in this aspect."
"In the version that we have, there are some challenges with the browser-based applications, the cloning of the objects, and the solution's stability."
"I would like it to have AI and ML capabilities."
"With any new upgrades, we have to make changes in the codes. To us, this means that the tool is not stable. We have been told by Automation Anywhere that this will be fixed in future releases."
"The Excel part needs improvement because we use it as a database. Right now, we are using UiPath for this feature, as that RPA tool allows us to sort, search, and filter in Excel databases."
"The setup process is not easy compared to the competition, and this can be a barrier to entry."
"What I am suggesting, when using A2019, if there are any additional features to exclude those antivirus scans until after my task is completed, then the antivirus can start scheduling. Then, I can easily tell the client that the priority are running and the Automation Anywhere scans can wait until after the release."
"The Control room audit logs should be moved to an archive for those that are more than six months old."
