Management Consultant at Accenture

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.

Good reporting and easy to use but needs to offer better integration capabilities

The product offers quite limited memory. That needs to be expanded. They need to make it possible to more easily customize the user interface. The product could offer better integration capabilities. Right now, we are trying to integrate some on-prem solutions to Remedyforce. We're having some problems doing that right now. Due to the fact that the solution must be accessed through the internet, if your internet is not good, you'll have trouble accessing the product. It would be ideal if there was an on-premises option. Technical support can only be reached via email. It would be nice if we could speak with them directly.

Enterprise Solutions & Services Head at Duroob Technology

A fairly stable solution that’s highly mature, but has a poor user interface

The solution does not align as modern service solutions do. Seamless integration is no available among the processes. Their service management application needs a lot of work. It’s in a really bad state right now. They brought on a new interface that clumped all the processes and features of the solution into one. Still, it’s not really compatible with other solutions. Because of this, its rating has dropped in Gardner. The solution needs to improve its reporting features. The user interface needs a lot of improvements. The product needs to implement a cloud platform solution, which is lacking so far. Their workflow engine is still segregated. It’s not embedded. If you need to do some workflow approvals, you cannot do them directly on the service desk. You have to go into Outlook and do an approval or you have to go in through another screen to handle the approval because the workflow engine they have is a separate product.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"We have hundreds of cases a day. There were around two to three employees who were just moving a case from one state to another. This was a repetitive, tedious job, which was frustrating for the employees. It helps to have the bot doing this work now. We have immediately seen effects, so this is a good use for it."

"A process that used to take seven to ten days has now been reduced to half an hour."

"This solution is easy to use and generates a quick response."

"The tool is a huge time saver. If I want to do something manually, it will take half an hour, but the bot can do the task within minute or seconds. In a day, month, or year, this will be a huge amount of time for me. A reduction to a fraction of seconds will be a big impact."

"It's easy to use, and with less experience, anyone with the business knowledge can automate easily."

"This tool provides us with easy accessibility for adopting the new process, as it is more user-friendly, and many new resources are able to grasp the tool and start doing the automation with ease, which is basically missing in the other vendors' tools."

"We have been able to reduce our number of FTEs."

"Automation Anywhere has very strong game because it is always up for asking feedback."

More Automation Anywhere pros

"Basically, Remedyforce is a more powerful product."

"The solution is highly customizable, however, meaning it will quite easily fit into almost any company's requirements."

"The stability is good. There are no bugs."

"The knowledge base is the solution's most valuable aspect. All of the knowledge we need is right at our fingertips."

"The cost is quite high but since they are one of the big four companies for this type of development platform, I think the price is okay."

"The interface and customization are the solution's most valuable features."

"The solution is very flexible and provided us the opportunity to extend into items that were not provided to begin with."

"An inexpensive solution that is easy to set up and use without much support."

More BMC Remedyforce [EOL] pros

"It’s provided self-service and automation, notifications, and reporting, and it’s good on a day-to-day and macro perspective."

"CA Technologies support is excellent."

"Improved the effectiveness of my Service Desk Team and improved the SLA timing."

"The most valuable features for me are scalable architecture, customization potential where the UI, background, and data movement allow you to tailor to the nitty gritty details of what you might need in your environment, and advanced workflow management."

"The solution is a highly mature product, and because of this, it can stand up to any other product on the market."

"This is the best product for Large Infrastructure companies/organizations to monitor their infrastructures/servers etc."

"The most valuable feature is the ability to easily create service catalogues for our customers, something that we didn't have previously with the other tool we were using, which was SDM."

"It's quite a complete entry into the SaaS ITSM market with a reasonable price point."

Cons

"When we need to upgrade the bot version for various applications like SAP, the compatibility issues could be easier to resolve. The financial team is using version 5 or 6, but the automation engineer recommends only version 6 because it is more compatible. I think Automation Anywhere could handle these compatibility issues better."

"Certain areas of the user interface require improvement."

"They could improve the environmental stabilizing issues. There are a lot of environmental issues when rolling over from one environment to another, higher environment. This is the one thing they definitely need to look into."

"If I want to do something that is more purely business-related and is somewhat complex to write or is nuanced, I sometimes have trouble implementing that inside of the Automation Anywhere script. I feel limited at times with some of the looping and some of the branching and some of the ways to make procedure calls when I have a complex business issue."

"The marketing for Automation Anywhere has room for improvement."

"The areas for room for improvement are always going to be around experience, making it even easier to get engaged, and get started. Because lowering that threshold to get started is what enables an additional set of problems to be solved."

"The tools are fundamentally solid. However, when I think of self-healing, such as automation with a new prompt or a new Windows patch occurring, being able to handle those kinds of things on top of what Automation Anywhere already does and that automatically click through and do the reboots that are necessary to just have a clean run would be ideal."

"We have been a little frustrated by the frequency of cache releases."

More Automation Anywhere cons

"It's not user-friendly. Everything is overly complicated. Even for the simplest of tasks, a user will waste time. It requires a lot of clicks and a lot of steps. Often we will have to do the same thing two or three times. It's really bad."

"More flexible ways to change the existing configuration would benefit existing customers."

"It's hard to find information about the solution online. We'll sometimes use the internet to look for technical answers, and we won't be able to find it."

"The look and feel is very dated."

"There should be some tool to move SRD and SLA from the sandbox to production."

"Improve the out-of-the-box ITIL compliance, which would be great for new customers."

"The customer service management (CSM) features are in need of improvement."

"They need to include more high-end technology, different languages, the kinds of things not yet included in the product."

More BMC Remedyforce [EOL] cons

"The solution needs to improve its reporting features. The user interface needs a lot of improvements."

"The deployment was very difficult to handle. It's an unnecessarily difficult process that requires third-party assistance to do correctly."

"We had a lot of issues with non-Windows servers during implementation."

"Their service management application needs a lot of work."

"When tickets are closed occasionally, it is quite hard to reopen it, which will cause lost-tickets."

"Actually this product and its limitations reduced the Service Desk effectiveness compared to the product we were using."

"I think they could update some of the interface. It doesn't look as pretty as some of the other ones."

"I would love to see better two-factor authentication as that would really help us and make a big difference."

Pricing and Cost Advice

"It depends. For example, for my group, we are centralizing the infrastructure in Paris. Our contract is signed with Automation Anywhere in France. The currency and the pricing of Automation Anywhere in France can appear beneficial and interesting for Germany and Scandinavian countries, but when we share our infra and are internally charging other countries such as Poland, Brazil, or some other country with a lower currency value as compared to Euro, it becomes less beneficial. They would prefer to sign the contract directly with Automation Anywhere because they will benefit from a price that is as per their local market."

"We generally follow the Gain-Sharing Pricing model, which enables the customer to start getting the RPA benefits right from day one of their implementation."

"Automation Anywhere is expensive, making it more suitable for enterprise organizations."

"No one is balking at the cost. They are market rates and will change, but no one is saying, "That is ridiculous or impossible." They are saying, "Show me the ROI and prove that the cost is accurate.""

"We have saved a lot of money on taxes based on the stuff that we run."

"The cost of this solution is a little bit high, but it is worth the price."

"Cost-wise, it is fine. A lot of medium businesses prefer Automation Anywhere. The development cost is also lower."

"Automation Anywhere is competitive... Pega is somewhat comparable, but Pega also requires a lot more infrastructure and a lot more experience to get up and running."

More Automation Anywhere pricing and cost advice

"The cost may be higher, but it is backed up by the great product and superb customer service."

"Licensing should be reviewed and understood before making the purchase."

"My current company has a deal. I think the subscription per year is 20K dollars. Per year for the client is really nothing compared to other products and solutions."

"BMC Remedyforce is extremely reasonable when talking about licensing costs."
