Find out what your peers are saying about ABBYY, Automation Anywhere, UiPath and others in Intelligent Document Processing (IDP)."Dashboard is good and the product doesn't require coding."
"The extraction feature is the most valuable one of IQ Bot."
"The most valuable feature is the cognitive ability, as it will learn an interface that it is not familiar with and perform in the way that a human does."
"The way that the learning combines with the OCR is the solution's most valuable aspect."
"IQ Bot is a useful and easy-to-use tool."
"Whenever we want to create something from the previous documents or images, the OCR feature enables us to do that job easily."
"The most valuable feature of IQ Bot is the Discovery Bots. They can detect and analyze for improvements."
"The ease that it provides in extracting vendor invoices, without having to configure them, was the reason for which we had gone with a solution."
"IQ Bot has the capability to identify changes and remap its settings accordingly. It also has the ability to learn."
"Lacks sufficient keywords and templates."
"I've used versions 11 and 2019 of this solution. The problem with version 11 is integration. When you are using a conventional bot and you try to use IQ Bot development, you don't have a specific feature for integrating these two pieces or components of Automation Anywhere. I was seeing some issues while trying to, for example, send some PDF to an IQ Bot processor and get a response for that process. So, there is a problem with integrating the conventional task automation and IQ Bot in version 11. In contrast, version 2019 already has the integration feature, and we can easily integrate two components. There are some features that must be there in version 11 but are currently missing. There is no total control over some features in IQ Bot. Some variables cannot be parametrized when using IQ Bot directly. The AI features that IQ Bot has must be more open to being parameterized by the user. It would be good if Automation Anywhere exposed some parameters so that I can adjust them as a customer. This is an improvement that Automation Anywhere can do. I would like to see some features related to deep learning in the next releases of IQ Bot. These will be some interesting features to see."
"I would like love to see pre-trained models based on industries."
"The percentage of accuracy is very low. When I put documents in IQ Bot and the document format gets changed, IQ Bot puts that in the validation queue. If you are uploading 100 documents, the IQ Bot accepts only 60 documents. 40% or 30% of documents go to the validation queue. Accuracy is way low. They need to improve their accuracy level. It should be at least 90%."
"The user should be able to update the data libraries."
"Migrating from the previous version to the current version is a little tricky."
"When you update to a new version, you have to migrate your applications. That should be automated because it should not affect your ability to complete the task. If the version of the application changes, then you need to automate some part of that again."
"There's still room for improvement in IQ Bot because sometimes, my team has certain types of PDFs that need to be grouped, for example, five types of videos need to be sorted to get data, but it was impossible to do in the solution. There's even an instance when I'm extracting data, for example, the invoice numbers, and I trained IQ Bot to do the extraction just for the invoice numbers, but it failed to do it. There could be some exceptions that the product developer is working on, but it could take time because sometimes IQ Bot works, and sometimes it doesn't, so the error isn't because of the developer. The error lies with the system. Another area for improvement in the solution is that during installation, it makes your machine drastically slow. It requires you to have RAM of 16 GB and a 500 GB hard disk, but that's still not enough. Slow downloading is also an area for improvement in IQ Bot because whenever you try to execute bots around 20MB to 100MB, for example, that will be downloaded from the cloud to local machines, and this process could take between seven to eight minutes, and this could be frustrating especially when you're trying to showcase it to a customer. Bot downloading into a local machine shouldn't be taking more than five minutes because it's embarrassing in front of clients. It's good that Automation Anywhere provides a cloud version for IQ Bot, but if you're unable to execute it fast, then that's not very good. I was working for one client in Brazil and there was a time I was showing the bot to them and it was taking around seven minutes to get downloaded on the local machine, and I even tried to connect with the support team, but that still didn't get me anywhere. If you're working on some code and you're executing a bot, you need to change one line and the bot will download completely, so it should be pipeline or SVN or Git. If you've downloaded a 50MB bot, you just change one variable name, but then you have to download the 50MB code again, and it makes you wonder why you need to download the complete code. You have to double-check if you already have the code in your folder, and why would you need to download it again. Only one line should be changed for the download time to decrease drastically, but right now, you need to be downloading the code completely, so if you're executing a 100MB bot fifty times, then that means it will be downloaded fifty times as well. IQ Bot is not a straightforward solution, so my team is struggling with it. Currently, my company has been doing some R&D about the solution, and it has several main problems that need to be addressed. What I'd like to see in the next version of the solution is support for unstructured PDFs because currently, it's a very good solution for structured PDFs."
"The solution's predictive model can be improved in terms of accuracy."
