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

"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 AI collaboration is the most impressive feature of Automation Anywhere."
"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 have automated over 2000 man-hours."
"One thing that I want to highlight AA for is their security standards."
"The IQ Bot is unique. It is not available in another RPA tool that I am aware of, like UiPath or Blue Prism. IQ Bot converts unstructured data to structured data."
"Our development time has been reduced because the solution is very user-friendly."
"It an easy, simple, and user-friendly tool that can be accessed through the mobile application as well."
"If BMC Remedy could integrate everything together in one solution, rather than integrating with third-party solutions, and make the experience smooth, it would be perfect."
"It had automation, orchestration, service level management, and event management. You could also integrate it for auto-remediation."
"The solution is extremely user-friendly."
"The product has excellent support for remote and hybrid environments."
"The solution helps to manage the operational flow in our organization."
"It has a good peer sharing module."
"It will simplify handling tasks by providing shortcuts and automating the generation of requests and tickets, including their categorization."
"You can develop plugins in different languages, and the workflows can be easily developed depending on the user's needs."
"The solution has a great filtering feature."
"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."
"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."
 

Cons

"For improvement, I would like to see Automation Anywhere integrating with multiple other technologies. As of now, it is integrating with .NET. When it come to future technologies, I want Automation Anywhere to integrate with Python scripts, and make the execution easier. That will be very helpful, having our cognitive technologies interacting with Automation Anywhere."
"What we currently have with Fortress IQ needs to mature more, and I say this since people spend weeks creating PDDs documentation."
"There are improvements needed in error handling processes, as currently, they rely on start and end error commands."
"The main disadvantage of Automation Anywhere is its high cost."
"One of the things that the product should have is to add more advanced level developer capabilities into the platform. I know it is easy for business, non-technical people. However, for the developers, there should be some more features within the product so they can build advanced level use cases much faster."
"I have experienced the issues of UI getting stuck. There seems to be an issue with server stability. This is something that can be better."
"As we expand our components of the Automation Anywhere platform that we utilize, we need better connections between them."
"SMTP mail features should come with migration options. All kind of VB scripts and Java scripts which we built using exiting version should support in this version."
"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."
"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."
"The upgrade process could be better. It would be a good improvement."
"The initial setup of BMC Remedy Asset Management was complex."
"The solution must be flexible."
"One area that requires improvement is the prevention of duplicates or data inconsistencies in the system."
"The interface is obsolete."
"Could be more user friendly for admins to manage."
"The system shuts down about once a month which is frustrating."
"There are definitely areas for improvement, but so far, so good."
"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."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Although the initial implementation cost of Automation Anywhere is relatively high compared to other options, its annual subscription cost is lower than UiPath's, which has the opposite pricing structure."
"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 cost is high for small-scale businesses but it is fine for medium and large enterprises. Its high licensing cost may affect small-scale businesses. Reducing licensing costs would benefit many users."
"We paid separately for the Runner and Creater components. The final cost depends on the structure of your environment."
"We are currently negotiating a contract. Depending upon that, we will definitely look at increasing usage."
"They're very flexible around pricing and licensing."
"Pricing is too high for small-scale groups. The Control Room yearly fee is high, making it difficult to break even."
"I am not involved in the pricing, but based on what I hear from our central RPA team, it is not very expensive; it is also not cheap. Its price is in the midrange."
"BMC no longer sells Remedy separately. They've transitioned to selling the BMC Helix platform. Remedy itself is nearing end-of-support."
"BMC Remedy is worth its price."
"Pricing is expensive compared to lower-end solutions, but it's on par with ServiceNow."
"The licensing model of BMC Remedy Asset Management should improve. It is expensive and it is difficult to understand."
"The tool is expensive."
"With the product, you can either go for a yearly or a perpetual licensing model."
"I find the pricing to be reasonable."
"It is an expensive tool."
"It is expensive."
