Automation Anywhere

Featured Reviews

Nadeem K.

Rpa Developer at a consultancy with 11-50 employees

Automation has freed teams from repetitive finance and supply tasks and supports global operations

In the current organization, we had trouble initially because I think the documentation and support could be better than what it is now. This is one difference between Automation Anywhere and other RPA tools such as UiPath. In UiPath, if you have an issue, you go to the UiPath website and search for it, and you get lots of help materials. In Automation Anywhere, you do not get exactly what you are looking for. You get a very large number of results when you search for something, and from this large result set, you have to filter out what you need, or only partial information will be available. User handbooks are available for each product. In that regard, I would say Automation Anywhere is lagging compared to other RPA tools. It is difficult to get hold of their customer support team. I want to clarify that it is not a matter of us building logic on Automation Anywhere and it failing. When it is a product-related issue, they have to give us support because we only know how to develop within Automation Anywhere. We do not know how to fix Automation Anywhere itself. Whenever we have an issue, trying to get in touch with them always takes three to four business days.

Machine Learning Engineer at cmc

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.

AbhilashSherkane

Senior Practitioner at a outsourcing company with 1,001-5,000 employees

Comprehensive IT service processes have been supported but customization and support need improvement

All ITSM functionalities of SymphonyAI IT Service Management, including incident, problem, change, service request, and their out-of-the-box functionalities, are pretty good. SymphonyAI IT Service Management does not have too many integrations and does not have too many out-of-the-box integrations compared to other peers in the market. I think that is the only place where they lack. However, they did have a functionality where we could build our own integration, so we were using that. If they had any out-of-the-box capabilities for some of the common infrastructure tools, that would have been easier for us. The out-of-the-box functionalities were good, including AI. However, the moment we had to customize options, that becomes very difficult with SymphonyAI IT Service Management. As long as we were using out-of-the-box, it worked great.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"Bot Insights is the most valuable feature; we don't have to struggle with generating metrics around how the bots are performing, and this information coming out of Automation Anywhere is useful to us because of the way the metrics are generated, which inspires confidence in our customers."

"Since our implementation, I can vouch for the fact that it is very easy to use. You do not need to know a lot of coding, even the business users, who have virtually no idea of coding, can easily operate it. They can run their bots and have the analysis ready for higher management. This is something which provides a great ease of use, and also in part why it is scalable."

"The best features of Automation Anywhere are having a user-friendly interface and the ability to integrate AI, and APIs and services like OpenAI's ChatGPT can be integrated, enhancing its functionality."

"It helps improve performance and helps companies save time and money."

"It is easier to learn, implement, and get things done with Automation Anywhere compared to other tools on market right now."

"The impact of Automation Anywhere on our organization has been significant; it has helped us save a considerable amount of time, approximately 30% to 40%, in repetitive processes and has improved automation accuracy."

"Automation Anywhere uses a single dashboard that you can access anywhere, and it also provides more insights versus other products, which is an advantage of using Automation Anywhere."

"Movement on cloud architecture according to me provided by AA2019, will be most beneficial as it will be easy to use and will provide flexibility."

More Automation Anywhere pros

"We can create our own profile in BMC Remedy, track how many tickets we've closed on a daily basis, monitor how many SLAs we've escalated, and see how many tickets we've received daily."

"The tool's automation features are fully capable, especially for IT automation. The asset management capabilities meet expectations."

"It has a good peer sharing module."

"It is a stable solution."

"The most valuable feature of BMC Remedy is to take administrative access of a user."

"The solution helps to manage the operational flow in our organization."

"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."

More BMC Remedy [EOL] pros

"The most valuable feature is remote access. People are working from home, and we can take remote access through it."

"All ITSM functionalities of SymphonyAI IT Service Management, including incident, problem, change, service request, and their out-of-the-box functionalities, are pretty good."

"The product has the best features for ITSM."

"SummitAI IT Management Suite's chat box feature has reduced our service discount, and because it's intelligent, the responses that go out to the users have improved, and the resolutions are much faster."

"It is a good tool to use."

"It was easy to access and fast. Our experience using it solely as a ticketing tool. We used fetch reports from the tool, particularly with regard to SLA tracking for our partners."

Cons

"The AI Sense functionality is what I believe can be improved since when I tried to use it for automating a use case involving a Citrix Virtual Machine, it was unable to capture objects consistently."

"Migration is a little challenging since it requires direct integration with DB, credential vault and all that."

"The initial implementation of Automation Anywhere regarding the elastic search and database set connection can be a little difficult."

"When they develop the product, they don't always provide all the necessary details that a customer needs to implement the product."

"Having fewer connection instances would make it more secure, more simple to troubleshoot, and possibly more flexible with the type of applications in use."

"I need high value products to be created, so I need integration with other solutions. Machine learning and AI need to be integrated with Automation Anywhere. While IQ Bot is a good beginning, our company does not work with manual paperwork since we are already digital. We would like to see more integration with cognitive tools going forward."

"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."

"For our legacy systems, we are finding it very difficult to use the automation."

More Automation Anywhere cons

"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 tool is very old."

"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."

"BMC works through intermediaries or vendors for support, so you don't always interact with BMC directly. The quality can vary depending on the specific vendor."

"One area that requires improvement is the prevention of duplicates or data inconsistencies in the system."

"There are issues from a product functionality perspective."

"I would like to have more customized reporting because the management team loves customized reports with graphs."

"The tool's GUI is an area of concern where improvements are required."

More BMC Remedy [EOL] cons

"Integration was a major limitation with SummitAI."

"I would like them to add software inventory in the next release. We don't have that right now."

"There could be flexibility in terms of customization."

"SummitAI IT Management Suite's project management and operational management features could be improved."

"Technical support takes too long for any issues to get resolved, and that created a lot of frustration."

Pricing and Cost Advice

"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."

"They recently launched a Community Edition, which is okay, but they should have done this a long time ago."

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

"The Automation Anywhere license is affordable and not complex."

"Whatever investment, licensing, and resource costs together are put in for development and delivery, we are still at an ROI of 250 percent."

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

"I am not responsible for the pricing part, but I know the pricing is competitive compared to other tools."

"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."

More Automation Anywhere pricing and cost advice

"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."

"BMC Remedy is worth its price."

"With the product, you can either go for a yearly or a perpetual licensing model."

"The licensing model of BMC Remedy Asset Management should improve. It is expensive and it is difficult to understand."

"BMC should decrease the pricing further."

"The pricing is on the expensive side."

"I find the pricing to be reasonable."

More BMC Remedy [EOL] pricing and cost advice

"The product's cost is average."

"We have a regular license."

"SummitAI IT Management Suite's pricing is a bit expensive."
