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.

Long-term ticket management has become straightforward and supports efficient incident handling
The best feature of BMC Remedy is that you can easily understand all the features in it as they are not complicated. When you click on new incident, all the fields are self-explanatory regarding what is required to be put in the work details node section assigned to chrome. These are all pretty easy to understand, and nothing much training is required for a person to start working on BMC Remedy.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The product has saved us a lot of time by reducing manually tasks, like entering data into Excel."
"It has definitely helped automating a lot of processes, but it is very difficult to build resilient bots. It is very difficult to find skilled developers in the market, who actually build resilient bots with appropriate error handling. Maintaining the bots is another challenge as the applications keep changing."
"We have benefitted a lot now, but expect that we will benefit even more in the future as we get better at using intelligence."
"It's pretty simple and non-invasive."
"It is also easy to design and implement, even for business users who don't have technical skills. A little bit of training is required, about five to seven days, and then they can start. The learning curve is low."
"The standout qualities of Automation Anywhere were the ease of automation and that it is an intuitive tool. After a simple walkthrough, a couple of hours or two, you would be able to hit the ground running."
"The general features, that we can automate a task that takes hours into minutes, are valuable."
"It saves time. It has saved 4,000 to 5,000 hours for one large complex process."
"The toolset is mature, easily integrable with various technologies due to its maturity, and has great scalability."
"The service management features are beneficial – very good."
"You can develop plugins in different languages, and the workflows can be easily developed depending on the user's needs."

"It is a scalable product."
 

Cons

"Excel functionalities, the macro interface can be improved in the next release of RPA platform Automation Anywhere."
"When I compare Automation Anywhere with the competition, some of the competitors have ready-made, off-the-shelf modules. For example, UiPath integrates with Windows AD. That is missing as of now in Automation Anywhere. If that became available it would also be great."
"Better support for Excel is needed because there are a lot of limitations and we are having issues with it."
"I would like it to have AI and ML capabilities."
"There was a time when I would have rated it at around fifty-fifty percent, but now Automation Anywhere uses AI for customer support."
"The approval process needs improvement."
"Pricing with respect to the competitors is more."
"Now, it is a big complex to download the product and install it, then again to install the patches. So, it takes a lot of time to download it."
"The initial setup of BMC Remedy Asset Management was complex."
"Continuous improvement is recommended."
"BMC Remedy could be improved by incorporating analytics and artificial intelligence (AI) modules."
"There is room for improvement regarding the customization as it tends to lag in terms of flexibility, particularly in comparison to competitors."
"The solution is very expensive."
"The upgrade process could be better. It would be a good improvement."
"The tool can be expensive for mid-market businesses, making it an area that can be considered for improvement by BMC Remedy."
"Areas for improvement include lack of vision, lack of industry-specific solutions, limited workflows compared to ServiceNow, and being restricted to a purely IT perspective, which limits their addressable market."
"The product’s stability needs improvement."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"It is subscription-based. They have different schemes. The price depends on how you negotiate with the local partner or local representative in your country."
"The starting price, which is a one-off fee is a bit high and this may deter mid and small-sized companies from acquiring and decide to shun the platform."
"We're on a license package with Automation Anywhere (AA), paid yearly. What would be better is for them to have different packages for different types of organization."
"It's very good in terms of cost and pricing."
"As far as costs, it depends on your use. We started with a basic department pack, which is over 10K. The additional costs depend on the scale of the engagement and how it pans out. We customize to our needs on the go."
"Including the AWS setup and everything per license, it costs us around $10,000 on an annual basis. I believe that is pretty reasonable considering the teams that we have."
"I am not responsible for the pricing part, but I know the pricing is competitive compared to other tools."
"Automation Anywhere is cheaper than UiPath and Blue Prism. From a market point of view, Automation Anywhere is reasonable. Any organization can adopt Automation Anywhere."
"The pricing is in-between. It's not too cheap, and it's not too expensive. For a large organization, it's worth it. But for a smaller one, it might be a bit costly."
"The product is costly. On one to ten points, where one is cheap and ten is expensive, I rate the product's price as nine."
"With the product, you can either go for a yearly or a perpetual licensing model."
"BMC no longer sells Remedy separately. They've transitioned to selling the BMC Helix platform. Remedy itself is nearing end-of-support."
"Pricing is expensive compared to lower-end solutions, but it's on par with ServiceNow."
"BMC Remedy is worth its price."
"The tool is expensive."
"It is an expensive tool."
"The product has reasonable pricing."
