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

"We get positive feedback from the client regarding the processes that we have developed, as it saves a lot of their manual time and most of their work is done by the bot, without any human intervention."
"The time savings from using Document Automation are substantial, as previously a team of about five to ten people managed specific processes end-to-end, such as processing fourteen thousand entries in a month, but after automation, that entire process is streamlined, saving us a lot of FTEs."
"The most valuable feature of Automation Anywhere is the automation that frees up time for our employees to engage with customers."
"As a solution, Automation Anywhere is complete for business users and developers."
"We have a close relationship with our account manager and technical support. This relationship makes the difference."
"The tutorials that are available from Automation Anywhere are very helpful for newbies to learn the platform and get going with the tool."
"The Control Room is the most important feature, where we can manage the bots and publish to various bot runners in the environment."
"We have automated the daily reports and it will trigger automatically once jobs are completed from the backend database which has saved a lot of extra work for our team, saving workforce and time."
"It has a good peer sharing module."
"The asset discovery feature in BMC is notably better compared to ServiceNow."
"It is a stable solution."
"The service management features are beneficial – very good."
"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's technical support is good."
"It's a scalable product."
"It includes features for automation, such as smart reporting capabilities."
"It is a scalable product."
 

Cons

"Vertical connecting lines would be appropriate within the code, and a collapse/expand feature for code blocks would be ideal."
"We had initial hiccups, like any new process. It took us six to eight months to sort the product out."
"The regional distribution in Turkey can be improved."
"The setup process is not easy compared to the competition, and this can be a barrier to entry."
"The product falls behind in working with webhooks."
"Automation Anywhere is easy to use, even if you lack technical skills. People without deep technical expertise can easily develop scenarios."
"When I post questions, I seldom get answers fast, and when I do, there are inconsistencies with the existing documentation."
"Automation Anywhere risks falling behind by focusing solely on Robotic Process Automation when competitors offer more versatile and adaptable solutions that integrate AI for a more intelligent automation experience."
"BMC Remedy could be improved by incorporating analytics and artificial intelligence (AI) modules."
"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."
"Maybe the network automation aspects need improvement."
"BMC Remedy's change management module needs enhancement."
"The UI is quite outdated."
"Our management is trying to leave BMC Remedy for ServiceNow."
"The interface is obsolete."
"The desktop technicians face some challenges with the solution."
"The product’s stability needs improvement."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"We purchase on a bot basis. Our costs are approximately $5,000."
"If I compare it with Blue Prism, Automation Anywhere is cheaper. Blue Prism is very costly. Automation Anywhere's pricing follows the market, not less and not more."
"Our company is investing a lot of money in Automation Anywhere. They have saved money wherever humans are working. They invest a lot of money in FTEs and other logistics, so the money saving is very pretty good with Automation Anywhere. While I don't know the exact figure, the tool is saving us millions of dollars as well as saving about 40,000 hours in the last year."
"The cost of Automation Anywhere is high in Turkey due to the weak economy."
"Currently, it stands as one of the more expensive RPA tools available."
"Overall, the pricing of Automation Anywhere is good."
"Complaints are generally about the cost of IQ Bot, which is higher than its competitors. The base model’s pricing is comparable to other platforms with attended, unattended, and IDP capabilities as well."
"We have a three-year contract with Automation Anywhere."
"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."
"The tool is expensive."
"With the product, you can either go for a yearly or a perpetual licensing model."
"I find the pricing to be reasonable."
"Pricing is expensive compared to lower-end solutions, but it's on par with ServiceNow."
"BMC should decrease the pricing further."
"The pricing is on the expensive side."
"The product has reasonable pricing."
