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.

Has an easy initial setup process, but its stability needs improvement
We use the product for asset management The product’s stability needs improvement. We have been using Micro Focus ZENworks Asset Management for two years. I rate the product's stability an eight out of ten. It could be better.  Our organization has around 50-100 Micro Focus ZENworks Asset…

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The Control Room is the most important feature, where we can manage the bots and publish to various bot runners in the environment."
"Automation Anywhere is the best."
"The recording feature accelerates the timeline of your implementation."
"I found the new feature of integrating Python and HTML the most valuable."
"Automation Anywhere IQ Bot is very strong in comparison to other vendors because Automation introduced this intelligent document processing product a long time ago, which is one of its unique features."
"We were able to replace a lot of the manual and data entry workload that our accounts payable clerks were doing, and the work that was done before by this original group can now be done by four people."
"Toward this life cycle, we have a very structured approach of governing, monitoring, and tracking, that's the approach we have taken. Insights we gain from this governance, we apply towards automation strategy and implementations. We've done this for many clients across the globe. We are happy to share those experiences with some of you as well."
"We've had many sit-down conversations with the Automation Anywhere team when we were testing out the document automation. We gave them feedback about potential enhancements, so when we launched our most recent document automation use case, the capabilities were already there. We didn't need to come up with a workaround or put the project on hold because the things we needed were unavailable. That commitment to customer success stands out because they know that without us, the product won't succeed."
"The most valuable feature of the solution includes all of its components since they act as the authentication system of the product."
"There are a lot of features a customer can use. It’s an existing concept of asset management. One feature is the ability to create tickets for various computer systems, VPN defenses, sites, regions, or customers."
"The most valuable features of BMC Remedy are its ease of use, ease of installation, and customization capabilities."
"It includes features for automation, such as smart reporting capabilities."
"You can develop plugins in different languages, and the workflows can be easily developed depending on the user's needs."
"It's an exceptionally robust and seamlessly integrated solution that has greatly facilitated our operations."
"BMC Remedy is very stable and scalable, making it a valuable tool for our support team."
"The customer support is great, maybe that's because I'm with a big client."
"It is a scalable product."
 

Cons

"It needs stability improvements. Sometimes, it becomes unstable."
"I had an issue lasting for the better part of three years, and it was quite severe."
"I would like them to add OCR features. This would help us deal with unstructured data and we can get more data out of images."
"We noticed slowness in a few of the commands like Object Cloning, Web Recorders, etc. on which Automation Anywhere can work to make it more robust. There are improvements required in the WLM solution provided by AA, which can make it a more robust queuing system and the system should retry by itself in case of failure due to system error."
"The IQ Bot could use improvement."
"Configuring A2019 and using it is getting a little difficult because of frequent errors of compatibility. It is not so user friendly like the enterprise desktop version."
"The IQ Bot is pretty immature, in regards to AI and machine learning. I would like them to add additional logic."
"The integration in UiPath is much better. Automation Anywhere's latest version has improved. It's fine but not as good as UiPath."
"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."
"BMC Remedy could be improved by incorporating analytics and artificial intelligence (AI) modules."
"The solution is very expensive."
"There are issues from a product functionality perspective."
"The product's scalability is one area with certain shortcomings that need to be considered for improvement."
"There is room for improvement in integration with various platforms. The support services should be improved. The response time from the support team should be faster."
"However, from a stability perspective, we sometimes had issues, like running out of resources, maxing out, database issues, and the server freezing out and functioning at fifty percent."
"If we migrate to the cloud, the Software as a Service version's price is very high. The return on investment is very small in our case."
"The product’s stability needs improvement."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"In the Indian market, I feel that for mid-size companies, such as ourselves, that having multiple bots costs a lot. If Automation Anywhere wants to expand in the Indian market, they will need to look at their pricing."
"I believe it is $10,000 for Bot Creator."
"Automation Anywhere's price is considerably better than UiPath's."
"Licensing costs range from $50,000 to $200,000."
"On average, a bot runner in Automation Anywhere can cost $5,000, while in Microsoft Power Automate, you can get most of the same functionality for $100."
"If I compare it with Blue Prism, Automation Anywhere is cheaper. Blue Prism is very costly. Automation Anywhere's pricing follows the market, not less and not more."
"Automation Anywhere University is pretty good. They make it available free for everyone."
"I don't agree with the IQ Bot licensing costs, which depends on the consumption of the document rather than per bot or user. This is confusing for me, because most of the cases for us in a possible future scenario, there would be a lot of invalid data to be scanned to get to real data. E.g., we would have to supply approximately 100 pages of scanned data to extract two pages of original data. In these type of cases, the IQ Bot might be a costly venture."
"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."
"I find the pricing to be reasonable."
"With the product, you can either go for a yearly or a perpetual licensing model."
"It is an expensive tool."
"The licensing model of BMC Remedy Asset Management should improve. It is expensive and it is difficult to understand."
"BMC no longer sells Remedy separately. They've transitioned to selling the BMC Helix platform. Remedy itself is nearing end-of-support."
"BMC should decrease the pricing further."
"The tool is expensive."
"The product has reasonable pricing."
