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

"By using its AI & ML capabilities, we have solved many problems for our clients."
"An easy to deploy and learn automation tool that can save resources, effort and money."
"It extracts what the IQ Bot does, converting it and ensuring the entire process right from the input to the output and is fully automated. It is digitizing a particular process, which is really great."
"We can access it anywhere. E.g., I can access dashboard from my Control Room on my mobile app using Automation Anywhere."
"The platform is easy to use, especially for business users."
"It helps with the speed on improving processes and the results of those processes."
"The recorders are highly beneficial when automating web scraping or web automation tasks."
"Currently, everyone wants to experiment more and more with cloud offerings. They don't want to spend money on setting up their internal hardware infrastructure. Automation Anywhere is the only tool that provides a pure cloud to customers. That is one of the key features."
"Financial aspects, and handling of the life cycle."
"The tool's automation features are fully capable, especially for IT automation. The asset management capabilities meet expectations."
"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 most valuable BMC Remedy Asset Management are the dashboards and reports for the CIO."
"This product is good because it allows us to receive proper responses to business emails anywhere and anytime. It helps in effective communication with employees. The solution is stable. The product is scalable. The initial setup is straightforward. I recommend BMC Remedy, especially for its automation capabilities."
"It is a stable solution. Stability-wise, I rate the solution a ten out of ten."
"BMC Remedy Asset Management is scalable and easy to do."
"There are a lot of features a customer can use. It’s an existing concept of asset management. One feature is the ability to create tickets for various computer systems, VPN defenses, sites, regions, or customers."
"It is a scalable product."
 

Cons

"Automation Anywhere is a tool. It is not able to go ahead and extract the hand-written documents."
"Having fewer connection instances would make it more secure, more simple to troubleshoot, and possibly more flexible with the type of applications in use."
"The initial setup for the program was not straightforward. It was definitely complex."
"For improvement, I would like to see Automation Anywhere integrating with multiple other technologies. As of now, it is integrating with .NET. When it come to future technologies, I want Automation Anywhere to integrate with Python scripts, and make the execution easier. That will be very helpful, having our cognitive technologies interacting with Automation Anywhere."
"In the debugging mode, it writes all the logs to text files, but it doesn't ever clean them up. We had one that got to 200K, and it bogged our whole machine down. We couldn't figure out what was going on until we found out that we had a 200K file sitting out there. We would like some sort of maintenance on the log files going forward."
"Having better documentation that is more openly available would help. Often, it feels necessary to contact someone or search for documentation that is stored behind a login or in another location. It would be beneficial to have one centralized place for everything."
"I would like to see more bots available right out-of-the-box in the SAP area. For example, if you take the overall OTC in our organization, we have to contact 15 teams. Even if we provide one big bot for the OTC, it won't work. It will not be used by one person. So if there could be more specific bots out-of-the-box, that would be really helpful."
"If you want to use Chrome then there are three or four additional steps that need to be completed."
"If a user isn't using an out-of-the-box configuration, it can get a bit complex."
"Areas for improvement include lack of vision, lack of industry-specific solutions, limited workflows compared to ServiceNow, and being restricted to a purely IT perspective, which limits their addressable market."
"The solution is very expensive."
"I would like to have more customized reporting because the management team loves customized reports with graphs."
"There is room for improvement regarding the customization as it tends to lag in terms of flexibility, particularly in comparison to competitors."
"The upgrade process could be better. It would be a good improvement."
"BMC Remedy Asset Management could improve by adding intuitive dashboards."
"Integration and deployment could be better. It could be easier and faster to integrate and deploy."
"The product’s stability needs improvement."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Automation Anywhere's pricing falls within the mid-range, but the long-term benefits outweigh the initial investment."
"The product’s pricing is reasonable."
"Automation Anywhere is expensive, making it more suitable for enterprise organizations."
"The pricing is fair. My company is part of a big organization, so the pricing is very advantageous."
"They sell it by license, but if they could charge by case or by interaction, that might be better. Right now, it's expensive when you want to scale or use them for simple processes."
"There are a lot of savings in terms of effort and time as well as costs. Automation Anywhere automates a lot of processes. It allows an organization to save the efforts of a lot people. It saves a lot of time because people can't work a whole day (24/7), but Automation Anywhere bots can."
"This is a value for the money product."
"I'm not sure what the monthly licensing cost is, as that is taken care of by another team, but I would say it's around $100,000."
"The pricing is on the expensive side."
"I find the pricing to be reasonable."
"It is an expensive tool."
"Pricing is expensive compared to lower-end solutions, but it's on par with ServiceNow."
"BMC no longer sells Remedy separately. They've transitioned to selling the BMC Helix platform. Remedy itself is nearing end-of-support."
"The tool is expensive."
"BMC should decrease the pricing further."
"BMC Remedy is worth its price."
"The product has reasonable pricing."
