Product Details

What is IBM Robotic Process Automation?

The IBM® Robotic Process Automation offering helps automate more business and IT processes at scale with the ease and speed of traditional RPA. Software robots, or bots, can act on AI insights to complete tasks with no lag time and enable the user to achieve digital transformation.

Typical RPA benefits include the ability to 1) reduce human error, 2) accelerate time to value, 3) increase throughput, and 4) reduce costs. IBM Robotic Process Automation enables workforce augmentation by performing repetitive tasks, acting on data extracted from unstructured documents, and conversing with intelligent chatbots using text and voice response.

In addition, IBM Robotic Process Automation helps clients apply intelligence to classify and understand content, prioritize tasks, make predictive decisions and apply AI to operational data. Core automation features enable users to manage work along with monitoring and reporting capabilities.

Finally, organizations can accelerate time to value by creating, testing and deploying new automation schemes in hours, instead of days or months.

Looking forward to the long run the IBM provides the better cost effective licensing cost as compared to other tools. The cost is a bit high but the usage flexibility copes with that. The bots can sometime gets inaccurate and could get costly, IBM AI and cognitive interaction with data reduces those chances of the errors. Therefore IBM have point in advanced data extraction features like IBM datacap.

  • SS&C Blue Prism Intelligent Automation
The IBM Robotic Process Automation we believed stacked up comparably among other credible robotic process automation technologies that are available in the marketplace. The technology with IBM backed technologies is relatively reliable and has credibility. Our organization did seek advice of some independent consultants to help us review and select the product.

Main difference was speed as well as accuracy of data matching. UIPATH was pathetic and not stable. Lot of features were not there. Automation Anywhere was good but we want to go with the best solution available in the market. Based on key parameters, we selected IBM Robotic Process Automation. We are very happy with out decision

I can tell that I did use UiPath Automation Platform and IBM Robotic Process Automation together and I can safely say that IBM Robotic Process Automation is far more compatible with enterprise environment because it's far more secure and reliable however being a new tool in the area UiPath has definitely also their perks.

The decision generally and most obviously falls behind the PO deparment however I did use IBM Watson before that's why I have likened the IBM products and also when we alongside with the procurement department compare it to UiPath, IBM sounded more enterprise friendly and the decision went through to IBM Robotic Process Automation.

UiPath was very popular with conferences and they were a big player in the market however, when it comes procurement I guess the decision lies with the multiple departments and we felt that UiPath was not ready to be scaled in a corporate format so that we chose IBM RPA collectively.

Their platform allows us to establish connections with various database types, including AS400 through a separate package. Unlike UiPath, the development of the user interface is not based on selectors or drivers.One of the most valuable features of IBM RPA is its ability to significantly reduce the Total Cost of Ownership (TCO) for businesses. By automating repetitive and time-consuming tasks, IBM RPA helps companies save on labor costs and improve efficiency. This results in a faster Return on Investment (ROI) and increased profitability. Overall, the TCO feature of IBM RPA provides a competitive advantage to businesses looking to optimize operations.

I like is that the systems will be exclusive to the requirements that the professionals have, this type of system greatly reduces the costs of processing information at the same time that it performs the tasks without inconveniences of failures or delays, understands the commands and actions of the users and performs them without the inconvenience.

Best Automation Service

The software is pricey. Small-business implementation proved challenging. The program was far more challenging to implement with our software than with IBM Robotic Process Automation; therefore, I don't think it's worth the money. As a result, production was not greatly increased. It wouldn't yield a good return on investment if a small business paid for it.

I love how this tool helps to engage employees with mission-critical work, optimizing their skillsets, instead of focusing on mundane, time-consuming tasks that can be easily automated. Through this we've been able to save time and cut costly operations, free from repetitive work and elevates job satisfaction and creates a more efficient workplace.

By imitating human actions, reducing errors that affects our business development and processes. I like IBM RPA because it has all the solution for our financial banking processes and making our clients are more satisfied with our services. It has greatly reduced work hours and reduced human errors by reducing how often we input data.

IBM RPA remains to be the most outstanding and powerful automation tool that has been developed by IBM. Its very easy to use and learn how to make things work easily through the pretty easy-to-understand documentation. The speed of development of RPA bots has been amazing because we use the bots for all our manual and repetitive tasks.

I've always had excellent service and had no trouble communicating. It has aided in my understanding of how I can continue to use the bots. Reading peer assessments reveals that while IBM RPA demands a substantial initial financial commitment, it justifies its cost, unlike Blue Prism RPA, which does not.

Engaging RPA bot to enhance internal and external communications like team collaborations, address client queries, chatbot base requests is a fascinating experience
We wanted to opt for a well placed Automation solution which converses in multiple major languages across the world - IBM is well placed
Deploying RPA bots across process, and integrating with other tools also provides a faster, time saving, effective solution to corporations
