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.

Detects incidents quickly, improves our SLA performance and solves issues faster
We mainly use it for incident logging. We'd like to add service request functionality, but we don't have the knowledge to configure the requests and the workflows properly. We'd like to integrate our workflows with the incident management, so we use it to manage our work better. We'd like to implement the service request feature. Right now, we just record everything as incidents. Some activities can take a long time, maybe one or two weeks. This makes it hard to maintain a good SLA, even if we work hard. So, response speed and workflow improvements.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"Automation Anywhere has improved my company significantly; earlier we were dependent on the client installed on local machines, but now it is completely web-based, so we don't have to worry about having a dedicated VM."
"By implementing the Automation Anywhere robot, we have reduced the FTE count and it was able to process 800 invoices per day with 100% accuracy."
"My experience with the deployment has been very good."
"When we compare other projects on other platforms versus Automation Anywhere, the technical support we are receiving in terms of efficiency, and even that they are giving us good price, this is what we are looking for."
"Automation Anywhere has minimized this risk, saving costs related to rectification and improving compliance adherence to avoid penalties in a tightly regulated industry."
"The ease of use for the end user and the very low complexity in trying to build a bot are the big factors for us. We are able to work on a project, identify a use case, come up with a design spec, and execute and build a bot within a span of six to eight weeks. In nine to ten weeks, we are able to go live, which reduced complexity. Once we go live, the user interface and the user experience are extremely good."
"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."
"MetaBots are useful when connecting to websites or to forms with objects that need to be captured."
"The discovery feature of BMC Remedy has been very valuable."
"The solution's technical support is good."
"The solution helps to manage the operational flow in our organization."
"It includes features for automation, such as smart reporting capabilities."
"This product is good because it allows us to receive proper responses to business emails anywhere and anytime. It helps in effective communication with employees. The solution is stable. The product is scalable. The initial setup is straightforward. I recommend BMC Remedy, especially for its automation capabilities."
"The solution is extremely user-friendly."
"It's an exceptionally robust and seamlessly integrated solution that has greatly facilitated our operations."
"It is a stable solution. Stability-wise, I rate the solution a ten out of ten."
"Samanage has not only taken over asset and inventory management, but it also has the ability to function across departments, making it easy for end users to submit help desk tickets for IT, HR, and Finance."
"I would recommend Samanage from the IT support perspective because it's a great ticketing system and the only downside is the site shutdowns and the messy nature of the UI and UX."
"The best part is the ability to keep records, especially incident records. It's easy to use the tool to store data and monitor it."
"The solution has a great filtering feature."
 

Cons

"Automation Anywhere's UI is difficult. Its user interface can be improved."
"In terms of improvements for Automation Anywhere, I would prefer to see more options in packages and pricing, including a breakdown of different features and products, which would allow us to select certain products while potentially skipping others as needed."
"Technical support needs to be much faster."
"We're in a digital world where everything's evolving. AI is coming out, so just looking at keeping moving, introducing new innovations into the product, nothing specific. The Automation Anywhere teams seem to know what the customers want."
"I would like to have the ability to schedule bots by whichever one is available."
"As a developer, the biggest con is the lag; it's pretty inconvenient to face that delay in things happening."
"There is still a way to go for Automation Anywhere where we can see improvement. Mostly, we want to see more artificial intelligence and machine learning. Now, I can see only this mostly in the IQ Bot where we construct the data from PDFs. I also want to see more features where we can use the artificial intelligence in automating tasks as well."
"We have had some difficulty with ease of use. In addition, we have had some difficulties getting it to interact in predictable ways with our in-house software."
"The tool can be expensive for mid-market businesses, making it an area that can be considered for improvement by BMC Remedy."
"When it comes to CMDB, to be able to manage the data, you have to have Atrium integrator, another integrated tool."
"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."
"I would like to have more customized reporting because the management team loves customized reports with graphs."
"The desktop technicians face some challenges with the solution."
"Could be more user friendly for admins to manage."
"It was hard to get reports unless by contacting the developer."
"The system shuts down about once a month which is frustrating."
"We've had some problems with the system shutting down about once a month. It sometimes takes five or 10 minutes to start working again but it can also take hours."
"The setting up process is not quite easy. It's quite difficult."
"There are definitely areas for improvement, but so far, so good."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Its price is competitive with all other products in the market."
"Approximately, for a developer, it is around $750 for a license a year. For Bot Runners, it is about $550."
"Licensing for Automation Anywhere (AA) is paid on a yearly basis. Out of all the RPA tools, it has the most value for money, e.g. what you pay is what you get."
"We purchase on a bot basis. Our costs are approximately $5,000."
"We would like them to change the license model of charging per bot."
"AA comes at a more affordable price than the other tools."
"We have seen about a 10 percent monetary savings."
"There are some additional costs beyond the standard licensing fees. There are a couple of add-ons we've looked at: The IQ Bot for OCR and machine-learning were add-ons, as well as the Bot Insights - the analytics."
"BMC no longer sells Remedy separately. They've transitioned to selling the BMC Helix platform. Remedy itself is nearing end-of-support."
"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 should decrease the pricing further."
"BMC Remedy is worth its price."
"The pricing is on the expensive side."
"The licensing model of BMC Remedy Asset Management should improve. It is expensive and it is difficult to understand."
"It is an expensive tool."
"It is expensive."
