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.

Platform has unified complex IT workflows and supports deep customization for daily operations

While BMC Helix Platform is highly customizable and powerful, there is always room for enhancement, particularly from a user experience perspective. One area that could be improved is the end-user interface. Simplifying navigation, consolidating options into a single, intuitive view, and ensuring that all related information is easily accessible on one platform would enhance efficiency and reduce potential errors during ticketing or workflow management. From an administrative and backend perspective, streamlining workflows and making backend operations simpler would be valuable. For example, critical actions like closing large change requests could be more flexible and guided, helping administrators manage complex scenarios without switching between multiple consoles. Additionally, improving the search functionality across the platform to make it faster and more intelligent would benefit both end users and administrators. A stronger, more context-aware search mechanism would help quickly locate tickets, assets, or workflow details without navigating through multiple pages. Overall, while the platform’s core capabilities are excellent for ITSM and enterprise process automation, enhancements in the interface, workflow simplification, and search could make it even more user-friendly and efficient, further strengthening its value for organizations of all sizes.

Simple and quick to implement, easy to use, saves us time and money

This is a very flexible system, which is why I chose the platform. It is flexible with respect to our company processes and workflows, and this is something that is very important to us. The system allows us to configure simple forms and flows, and we use it when new employees are hired, when one transfers from one unit to another, or when one leaves the company. These are the main reasons that I use the functionality of the forms. IT Care Center has very much helped to simplify our IT service management. I have an SLA that commits me to 85% with the company. This platform allows me to provide services at almost 92%. It is very useful from this point of view. This product has helped us to reduce the number of IT tickets because after we have worked on a problem and closed the ticket, we send the user information on what steps we took to solve the problem. With the explanation, a user knows how to deal with the problem if it happens again. The reports also help us to reduce the number of tickets that we have. We look to see what the main reasons are for incidents and look at whether the same problem is recurring. This allows us to fix the problem in basic maintenance, and it has been very successful in helping to reduce the number of related tickets. Using this solution has helped us to reduce costs in two ways, both as a result of having fewer tickets. The first is that we have fewer employees; we have reduced our staff from five people to only three. Second, we have reduced the related hardware costs. We do not need to pay for as many PCs or laptops.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"In terms of monetary savings, we automated a bot in three days that has saved us $30,000 in costs."

"Using this solution has freed internal operations employees to do more "human value-add" work by removing mundane manual tasks."

"The ability to automate renewals of government licenses four times a year is valuable."

"Automation Anywhere is very easy to use; it's a low-code platform that a person who doesn't have any technical knowledge can use."

"The speed of the delivery is its most valuable feature."

"It is easy to understand how to use the tool. For a developer, it is very easy to understand the opportunities and how to use and learn these features. It is very business-oriented."

"I appreciate that Automation Anywhere is so user-friendly, and currently, our team is learning Power Automate and migrating some of the processes as we go."

"The ability to automate low decision, highly repetitive tasks and clear large backlogs of tasks that we could not do with our human staff."

More Automation Anywhere pros

"The BMC Helix Platform is perfect."

"BMC Helix Platform is very customizable, and we can integrate it with any other application via the API."

"The most valuable features of BMC Helix Platform for service delivery include Helix GPT, which uses AI and GPT within the enterprise service management space."

"BMC Helix Platform helps in digital transformation and internal workflows and processes being adopted from different departments in line of businesses."

"For customer service, IT Care Center has helped us to centralize our daily IT activities in one platform; it has made our operations easier to use, more efficient, reliable, and available."

"We managed to reduce costs by half by switching to IT Care Center, not including any professional services."

"We have a lot of automation running from our HR system to IT Care Center. When a ticket has been raised to us, we can notify hiring managers on the status of every employee. We also get notifications in Slack for every ticket opened."

"All of my staff is quite familiar with the usage and we customize based on our daily needs and based on different profiles. As a manager, I require diagnostics on a weekly or monthly basis. diagnostics. There needs to be some reporting for management and for my customers' management as well. So we created our own template. All of our different staff were required to do their own tagging or own tracking of cases. We create our own templates. I create my own template for my own weekly and monthly reporting to management. It's quite flexible in the sense that we're able to add our own customized views. We are able to easily export all this information into a proper reporting structure."

"For a user to open a new ticket, it is very simple. That is an important thing. The system is available for users on the main desktop on their computer, so it is very easy to report tickets. It is very clear. Also, we manage the tickets with rules, according to subject and groups, so they are going to the right person in IT."

"It provides the ability to view all information relevant to a task. When you open a task, you can see all sub-tasks and the relevant information underneath it. You don't have to search for all the tasks and cases that are relevant to the same issue. The sub-task listing is the most valuable feature of this solution for us. We are also able to create workflows for things such as new hires and purchase requests. We are using it for onboarding new hires in multiple departments, and we are able to create workflows with IT Care Center. We have subsidiaries, and for every subsidiary, we have different rules. It allows us to put the name of the new hire and the computer and software needs for that subsidiary. Around 30% or 40% of our processes are self-service now. We have additional work to do, but we're getting there. I like the flexibility that IT Care Center provides for creating the forms. I can put the fields, values, dropdowns, etc. It makes things much easier, which is another advantage of this solution. When a user opens a ticket, there are certain values that he or she must enter in order for us to solve the ticket faster. For example, a user must enter his or her email. So, I can create a form with all the things that he or she must do, such as provide an email, phone number, etc. These are required fields. A user can't create a ticket without providing that information. So, it saves time and makes the work efficient."

"My advice for anybody who is looking into this product is not to think twice."

"It runs smoothly and all of the components are very easy to work with."

Cons

"IQ Bot has been changed and enhanced for Automation Anywhere, but the accuracy is still not optimal."

"The key area where improvement can happen is understanding the different perspectives and different industries that they're serving in terms of industry-wise use cases."

"I would like OCR for video and text using the IQ Bot. It should also be available in an email tag format."

"Automation Anywhere has some limitations."

"In order to score nine or ten, they still need to provide more flexibility and integration with other tools and options."

"Automation Anywhere can be improved by offering more integration with many more applications."

"Currently, while working on the SAP part, I encounter some challenges, particularly not being able to extract the tree structure."

"They need to make the solution more robust."

More Automation Anywhere cons

"The cost of BMC Helix is very high, with an estimation of not less than $100,000 making it difficult for us to adopt the platform fully."

"We faced some stability issues with BMC Helix Platform's cloud version. Services and integration to AD weren't working properly at times."

"BMC Helix Platform is very customizable, but the user interface is not good; it should be very user-friendly, the options should be very visible, and everything should be on a single platform."

"To improve BMC Helix Platform, they could enhance the mobile experience."

"They should have full integration with SSO services, like Okta, creating a full service solution."

"The UI screens could be a little bit more modern."

"IT Care Center must improve the UI because it looks old-fashioned all the time."

"IT Care Center has some room for improvement in regard to mobile. It doesn't have an application, there is only an adaptable web page, and that is less convenient."

"Our business is quite interesting because we actually look at our staff based on their productivity. So if a case is created where we want to track the productivity of the user, sometimes we look at how many actual hours they clocked in to solve the case. We realized that it would take quite a lot of hours, which was unusually high. We want to look at how we can measure that against a baseline. For example, every user should resolve the issue within three hours. We want a certain baseline where they have to resolve the issue within certain times and if they don't, I would get alerted."

"I would like the solution to have a native application for mobile phones. While I have IT Care Center in my mobile, it is not a pure application, like Outlook or Teams."

"There is no global support. With our previous system, we had 24/7 global support. We need much faster support. When I have an issue and raise a ticket, someone should call me back. They can also think about having object-oriented APEX so that the agents can easily create dashboards instead of having to learn the complete APEX language. This is something very important for us. We are using Oracle APEX for creating certain dashboards with KPIs. This is the visual platform that we use to see all the data, and it is very important for us because we get all the BI and data. Currently, we have a vendor who helps us with that because we don't know how to use it ourselves. We want to use it to make more dashboards with more KPIs for every department, but we cannot because we don't have the knowledge. We are very dependent on the vendor and the time he has for us."

"If there is such a feature, it would be very good for us to track how long it takes to resolve issues."

More IT Care Center cons

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Their licensing processes are in par with most industry standards."

"We were paying approximately $30,000 for a year license."

"It costs up to $1,200 per license."

"On a yearly basis, our licensing costs are about $80,000. There are no additional costs beyond the standard licensing fees."

"I think it's $5,500 per license."

"If it is saving FTE and Generating a good ROI then it is Worth Investing."

"The licensing cost could be improved. It costs a lot. At the very least, the developer licenses and the control panels should be made free to enterprises, and the production environment licensed."

"The cost can be reduced a little for users."

More Automation Anywhere pricing and cost advice

"Regarding the cost, it's not expensive for enterprises but can be costly for small to medium-sized businesses. I recommend implementing a pricing model tailored for small to medium businesses to attract a larger customer base. Approximately, the license cost is around sixty dollars per month."

"We reduced our costs compared to our previous solution, which was really expensive. We managed to reduce costs by half by switching to IT Care Center, not including any professional services."

"With SysAid, we paid for every end-user. If we had 100 end-users, we had to pay for each one of them. With IT Care Center, we can have as many users as we want. We only pay for the end unit. We have the asset manager and different models that we can use for the same price. So, it reduces costs."

"This product is very cheap when compared to other platforms."

"The licensing model is very flexible."

"Buy it as one package, not as modules. That is from my knowledge and experience. Most of the time, it has better pricing. They have flexibility by price size in the negotiation."

"Compared to other products in the market, pricing is reasonable. It does meet our usage and requirements."
