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.

Has an easy initial setup process, but its stability needs improvement

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The tech support for Automation Anywhere has been really good, so far. We haven't had to call them very much, but when we have, we have received a good response."
"We have received 70 percent optimization using this solution."
"I have worked on other RPA tools but this is more logical and easy to use."
"SAP GUI Integration commands are highly useful while working with SAP applications and facilitate easy use of the software. This feature has been recently incorporated within the software and we have been using it to interface with SAP systems in development as well as production."
"Automation Anywhere has a drag-and-drop feature eliminating the need for extensive coding."
"It is easy to code. While you have developers, somebody with a development or workflow mindset can logically build a bot in Automation Anywhere by understanding how to put a process in a workflow. If you have that, then you can logically build a bot in Automation Anywhere. Even a non-IT or business user can just look at the bot language and understand what the bot is doing, and that's the easy part."
"Automation Anywhere is a tool that I love! I am quite happy using this tool and there are no features or commands that I have found to be missing that should be added."
"Before switching to the cloud version of Automation Anywhere, I worked with v10 and v10, so I appreciate the core functionality and the fact that it's a low-code solution. That is one of the key elements that differentiates Automation Anywhere from other platforms and one of the reasons we have been able to achieve success."
"BMC Remedy Asset Management is scalable and easy to do."
"It is a stable solution."
"It is a stable solution. Stability-wise, I rate the solution a ten out of ten."
"The toolset is mature, easily integrable with various technologies due to its maturity, and has great scalability."
"As for advice on using BMC Remedy for the first time, I would advise that you should go ahead with BMC Remedy as it is a user-friendly and cost-effective product."
"The most valuable features of BMC Remedy are its ease of use, ease of installation, and customization capabilities."
"It includes features for automation, such as smart reporting capabilities."
"It has some good features for tracking. They also have a cloud and a mobile access feature."
"It is a scalable product."
 

Cons

"I would like better support. The technical support is mediocre. The support is sometimes really good, and sometimes it is really bad."
"The document processing, OCR, needs to be more accurate. Sometimes, when you try it on documents, it keeps on failing and goes to a different queue. It needs to mature."
"The current accuracy rate of 60% for document-based automations requires human intervention."
"I would like to have the ability to work on a remote desktop connection, run the recording on it and use all commands."
"Automation Anywhere can be improved by addressing the server issues we occasionally encounter when running the bot on the runner."
"It would be great if they provide installation documents that are easier to understand, place more focus on capturing the fields, and most importantly, concentrate more on the OCR capability."
"My main issue with Automation Anywhere might be the logging of bots and getting more detailed feedback of what my bot is doing, step by step. It is hard to track fine-tuning in larger codes."
"The GUI can be improved by making it more user-friendly."
"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 Remedy's change management module needs enhancement."
"The initial setup of BMC Remedy Asset Management was complex."
"Integration and deployment could be better. It could be easier and faster to integrate and deploy."
"If a user isn't using an out-of-the-box configuration, it can get a bit complex."
"The tool is very old."
"The solution must be flexible."
"The UI is quite outdated."
"The product’s stability needs improvement."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Based on what I've heard, it's costly, but I don't know much about its pricing."
"We have a three-year contract with Automation Anywhere."
"It has good licensing costs which are average for the market."
"We have reduced our headcount, approximately 200 to 300 employees, by eliminating manual, repetitive work. It provides profit to the business."
"We have seen the tangible benefits of taking monotonous work off people's plates, creating capacity, and cost reductions."
"I think it's $5,500 per license."
"As our team size increases, we may get some more licenses for the tool."
"We were required to purchase licenses and bot runners, which determined the permissible run times for the bots."
"BMC should decrease the pricing further."
"The pricing is on the expensive side."
"With the product, you can either go for a yearly or a perpetual licensing model."
"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."
"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 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 no longer sells Remedy separately. They've transitioned to selling the BMC Helix platform. Remedy itself is nearing end-of-support."
"The product has reasonable pricing."
