ATOmate vs. Automation Anywhere

ATOmate has automated so many processes and we are now able to assign staff to more meaningful tasks rather than sorting out paper documents.

In saying that, there are times when manual intervention is required like sending out a big payment required.

Automation Anywhere is well suited for automating repetitive or complex tasks that can be performed on a timeline such as data processing, data extraction, and file transfers. Automation Anywhere also has capabilities for integration with legacy applications and APIs to automate more complex data flows. Automation Anywhere is also ideal for automating document processing, form filling and other web activities since it has both image recognition and image-based automation capabilities.

On the other hand, Automation Anywhere is less appropriate for tasks requiring high levels of system intelligence such as machine learning or natural language processing as these require different types of technology. Additionally, if a task requires manual elements such as validations or reviews then Automation Anywhere may not be the most suitable solution either. It can be possible to set up automated validations but that might not always result in an ideal solution due to its limitations.

• They are at the forefront of any changes with the way the ATO is working
• The pro-actively find solutions for problems that could arise
• They keep us informed of any downtime with their product or the ATO
• They get almost all documents from the portal without any input from us.

• Now I easily generate the invoices and quotation generation is an easy task now. Previously it was very time consuming as we have to drag the data from the excel sheets.
• I will praise its integration with other software that has facilitated us to make amendments in the data across those platforms.
• Its interface is very easy and user friendly.

• Sometimes the ATOmate web portal is very slow
• There is a lack of logging of events that we as users can see
• We should be able to assign a partner to documents where the client is unknown

Incentivized

• Automation Anywhere doesn't come with easy installation, We need to install Java, IDEs and Databases in an orderly fashion which we are not able to do.
• Automation Anywhere has no workflow design which is not making us to understand the process.
• Automation Anywhere has no fit to size object cloning.

To continue enjoying the benefits of our productivity improvements and efficiency focus.

On more complex use cases, Automation Anywhere requires technical background like knowledge on network protocols and database language on task creation, and even people with technical background might have some trouble in the beginning because of the product particularities on how variable manipulation works, or how to get the object cloning (a more resilient screen manipulation command) to work as intended. The scheduling of tasks on the Control Room and the autologin feature isn't intuitive as they should, so much of this works requires documentation analysis to get it done on the first time.

Automation Anywhere is a great tool for a low cost, fairly easily scalable, and quickly learned. The company is growing by leaps and bounds and continually pushing the automation boundaries. The problem with fast expansion is that sometimes you can grow more quickly than you can appropriately support your products. While Automation Anywhere has an excellent support structure in place, every company and situation is different, and they often struggle with why problems arise in the system and how to fix them.

Perfect training from the online academy the software offers it for free

Nothing in particular

ATOmate has the ocr that is far superior to kofax and the client names and amounts on the ato forms are almost 99% captured. This was compared to about 80% with kofax

Automation anywhere scores well with respect to other solutions when we look at bot implementation, bot management, and basic automation. From a security perspective as well, AA fares well as compared to other solutions. UIpath is better suited when we operate using VPN systems and integrating with homegrown solutions.

Highly reliable once you start experiencing the results. It helps you to have a clear cut results with better productivity numbers and financial savings

• ATOMATE has allowed us to redeploy admin staff to different tasks and we have been cable to expand without needing more staff
• The only downside to it is the admin staff used to keep excel sheets that would be checked off every quarter and the partners used that sheet to keep track of their workflow
• We no longer have to wait for paper correspondence from the ato as most gets picked up by ATOmate

Incentivized

• Customer satisfaction has increased. They are pleased with faster development and execution.
• Cost internally for our company is heavy and the client doesn't bear the full cost for it.
• We didn't need to train our staff a lot for this. Just a week of overview was enough to get started.
