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.

Self-service portal significantly reduces resolution time and transforms service process with advanced features
We initially had a lot of tickets generated via the service desk through calls and emails. Now, we have almost moved out of email creations by introducing the DWP features on the Studio pages, with about 90% of the tickets coming in via our self-service portal. Recent upgrades offer different types of views for particular business lines, which was missing earlier. The new landing pages have allowed us to add banners, images, and internal videos, encouraging most customers to use these DWP self-service features. Resolution time has decreased significantly since implementing the self-service portal. Additionally, the availability of knowledge articles, chatbots, and the new Helix GPT feature has improved service processes.

Stable, easy to install, and cost effective, but it needs better integration and data management
It needs better integration with other tools like Jira. Better reporting and better data management are also needed. I believe the way they're structured is the flat file. So it'd be better if they actually used a database for the data storage, and a more robust portal. I would like more flexible reporting.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"Document automation has indeed been beneficial in handling large volumes of documents in our organization, where we process product-related data sheets that range from 80 to 120 pages, efficiently extracting data that would take a human several hours to read manually."
"I don't think one feature is more valuable than any other. In my opinion, the value is in the totality of the platform. It is easy to use for our developers with a well laid out UI and many canned tools. The Control Room is very easy to navigate and mostly intuitive to use."
"There are many features of Automation Anywhere that were found to be most valuable like WLM, PDF integration, Advanced Excel Commands, Terminal Emulator and its commands, Interactive Forms building features of A2019 which helped us in developing UI for our front office automation and integrate it with multiple rest APIs."
"AARI allows business users to trigger the bot, so I do not have to schedule everything. This convenience allows users to utilize it as they need. I can set it up to provide users with a form to fill in all required information, and then the bot operates based on those specifications. AARI is very convenient, and that is their biggest selling point."
"Automation Anywhere is the first RPA solution we have taken and suggested implementing it to our customers, and it has helped tremendously in assisting our customers in achieving their goals."
"Automation Anywhere is very easy to handle because it is a low-code platform, so anyone can learn very quickly."
"We found that RPA with additional AI capabilities, such as machine learning and Computer Vision, can enable the organization to augment existing business operations by creating efficiencies and improving the accuracy of data to be processed, without changing too much of the existing system."
"The Bot Store is an online library where anybody can find variously developed, production-ready bots."
"The ease of installation and configuration is valuable."
"BMC products have been built over the years to make them highly stable and scalable, inline with the ITIL best practice."
"It tracks all trouble tickets and provides a ticket history."
"From what I've read BMC Helix ITSM has a lot of features and far more than the CA Service Desk."
"In BMC, you can do absolutely anything. You can customize, you can configure, and you can customize and develop pretty much anything."
"ARS really shines when its workflow directly supports critical business processes."
"Taking into account that the main concern is to choose the best delivery for a service, we are very happy with this product, and the feeling is that it pays for it self."
"The ease of use and integration made it a worthwhile investment, since we did some integrations with other tools making our lives easier."
"Absolutely, we have seen a return on our investment."
"It is more flexible than our current solution."
"The two most valuable features are the portal and reporting."
 

Cons

"With our current version, we are experiencing issues with the access of the Control Room. Therefore, at the moment, we cannot really scale."
"IQ Bot has some limitations that should be improved in future releases."
"It is not always predictable 100% of the time. While it has improved with each version, some unexplained issues still exist."
"The bot creation process is straightforward in some ways and complicated in others. You can get your initial stuff laid out really quick, but then putting in your exception handling is more time consuming."
"I would like more cognitive abilities, artificial intelligence, and machine learning. E.g., if I see you, your facial recognition has to be there. If I send your picture, it should tell me your name, where you are from, and when I met you because we forget people. It should have these type of capabilities."
"The learning curve for Automation Anywhere is steep, especially for advanced features like IQ Bot and API automation, which require technical expertise."
"Improving on the ease of use and user experience of Automation Anywhere (AA) could help."
"The approval process needs improvement."
"BMC Helix ITSM should have an easy-to-use user interface."
"Maybe it could be more simplified and easier to change the reporting point of view, like from a different vendor to another."
"The interface is one major complaint about this product."
"The traditional UI of Remedy is somewhat of a weak point from the end user perspective."
"There is a text editor that we use to enter our incident description or service request description, and it should be richer in terms of features."
"Functionality-wise, it falls short of our expectations."
"Some parts of the solution are using the old interface — the contracts and contract management part of the solution. It needs to mature a little further in order to become more user-friendly."
"It doesn't allow a person logging a call to assign the ticket to a specific department, but only to update it."
"It's a very cost-effective solution, but it's not robust."
"Yes. Major system issues and outages during our implementation."
"It needs better integration with other tools like Jira."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"I think it's $5,500 per license."
"We would like them to change the license model of charging per bot."
"It saves me around $100,000 a year."
"The pricing and licensing of Automation Anywhere plays an important rule in the Indian market because in the Indian market $10,000 USD is too much. Hence, the pricing tends to go down depending on the customer relationship with the partner: A starter pack is $10,000 and an enterprise pack is $100,000. If you go through an implementation partner, you can get good deals. They can save some money."
"We have seen the tangible benefits of taking monotonous work off people's plates, creating capacity, and cost reductions."
"We have seen ROI in terms of cost and time with a couple of our projects."
"The cost of this solution is a little bit high, but it is worth the price."
"Additional costs will be for the machines and the number of machines that you are using. You can deploy virtually as well as on physical machines. In both the situations, you do need to allocate a certain budget for securing the machines and where the software will be installed and running. The machines cannot be used for anything else, because only a certain bot can run at a certain time. You need to be very particular about your scheduling of running the bots, and while the bot is running nobody can use the machine. You cannot have an agent working on a machine and the bot running in the background. It has to be completely dedicated. Then there are the network bandwidth requirements and space requirements, which are additional costs apart from the licensing and software costs. The developer is also going to charge you for their coding time too."
"Just make sure you really sit down and look at what you will be using per user, therefore you will not be surprised with a big bill. You do not want every user having every license, it really is not needed."
"It is costly, but it is well worth it."
"It is too expensive for a small business."
"It's a yearly subscription but there are a couple of customers who go for the monthly subscription."
"It is not very expensive and not very cheap. It is somewhere in-between. Some of the features are more expensive. There are also additional costs. If you want to use most of the features, you need to pay more."
"There are licenses to use this solution."
"BMC Helix ITSM is a very cost-effective solution."
"I rate the product price an eight on a scale of one to ten, where one is cheap, and ten is expensive. The solution is expensive."
"The price is approximately $70 per agent, per month."
