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.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The most valuable feature of the product is the flexibility, as there are so many features that you can use to develop, and it can hit a lot of use cases."
"My experience with the deployment of Automation Anywhere was good. I have no complaints there. It was very straightforward."
"It's easy to use, and with less experience, anyone with the business knowledge can automate easily."
"Automation Anywhere has save us more than $40,000 in the past year."
"The development tools are very good. It's very user-friendly and easy to develop and deploy with Automation Anywhere. Ordinary people, within a few weeks, can develop a bot using the tool."
"The setup is straightforward. Automation Anywhere provides customer success managers to help with the setup."
"We have an automation that we just put in production where we are doing a double-blind quality review, and the bot is comparing the two entries and kicking out a large number of exceptions for human review, so we have saved a large number of hours every day by not having humans look at things that match."
"The best feature is the drag-and-drop command. Users with less coding knowledge can also automate their end-to-end processes very easily."
"The solution's technical support is good."
"The most valuable feature of the solution includes all of its components since they act as the authentication system of the product."
"BMC Remedy Asset Management is scalable and easy to do."
"Financial aspects, and handling of the life cycle."
"I would tell potential users that this is a good and reliable solution; it's a solution that has stood the test of time, not something new that hasn't been used extensively, and many Fortune 500 companies use it, so it's definitely a good solution."
"The solution is extremely user-friendly."
"It will simplify handling tasks by providing shortcuts and automating the generation of requests and tickets, including their categorization."
"The incident management console is available out of the box."
"It is a scalable product."
 

Cons

"It is not as easy to implement as advertised. It is difficult across the board. It is difficult for technical and non-technical users."
"The regional distribution in Turkey can be improved."
"I struggled with understanding the use of different variables during my initial time with Automation Anywhere."
"I would like to see them continue building out documentation with more video-aides."
"I would also like to see better communication with their customer success teams. It often takes longer than expected when we submit requests for help or come across a problem we want to resolve. While I can appreciate that it sometimes takes a while to get the appropriate answer, it would be nice to be in constant communication about where they are in the process."
"We encountered issues during the upgrade of the framework. We were using the older framework of version 10.3.5. When we were upgrading, we were having a few issues in terms of getting the proper hardware and software prerequisites. For some things, like getting the controls of some of the application's tools, we were getting Automation Anywhere's help."
"Automation Anywhere should implement this feature. They should also decrease their cost."
"The installation piece was sort of complicated because we are new to the business. We are new to installing Automation Anywhere services and the services that they are providing. So, we are sort of expected some kind of installation engineer to come onto our premises and provide the support, rather than remotely."
"The initial setup of BMC Remedy Asset Management was complex."
"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."
"One area that requires improvement is the prevention of duplicates or data inconsistencies in the system."
"There are issues from a product functionality perspective."
"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 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."
"The product’s stability needs improvement."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"IQ Bots are very costly. It's not a sustainable bot for us as of now. We will look for better, alternate options for that."
"There is a free trial so that they can get an overview, and there are different licenses that are very affordable and can suit every business model."
"The cost of this solution is a little bit high, but it is worth the price."
"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."
"Time and monetary savings can range from 20 to 90 percent."
"Automation Anywhere's pricing falls within the mid-range, but the long-term benefits outweigh the initial investment."
"Its usage is expensive for us because my user base is mostly in Manila and KL. The unit cost of labor is cheaper there than in the U.S. or Australia, which puts a bit more stress on how to get a positive ROI while continuing to use it."
"Automation Anywhere's pricing is significantly higher than other RPA solutions."
"The pricing is on the expensive side."
"BMC should decrease the pricing further."
"The licensing model of BMC Remedy Asset Management should improve. It is expensive and it is difficult to understand."
"BMC Remedy is worth its price."
"It is an expensive tool."
"Pricing is expensive compared to lower-end solutions, but it's on par with ServiceNow."
"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."
"The product has reasonable pricing."
