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.

Detects incidents quickly, improves our SLA performance and solves issues faster
We mainly use it for incident logging. We'd like to add service request functionality, but we don't have the knowledge to configure the requests and the workflows properly. We'd like to integrate our workflows with the incident management, so we use it to manage our work better. We'd like to implement the service request feature. Right now, we just record everything as incidents. Some activities can take a long time, maybe one or two weeks. This makes it hard to maintain a good SLA, even if we work hard. So, response speed and workflow improvements.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"Automation Anywhere has helped save many man-hours in my organization by letting us automate monotonous and repetitive tasks."
"From my perspective, the most valuable features in Automation Anywhere are the ability to connect to different systems of records."
"Automation Anywhere has improved our organization by allowing us to reduce the number of new hires, enable us to keep the same workforce, and increase productivity."
"Automation Anywhere can grow alongside our automation needs."
"I realized that Automation Anywhere is much easier, more reliable, and has value for money with good and vast customer support."
"The most valuable feature, which was launched last year, is Automation Co-Pilot. Microsoft has a co-pilot, but it's only for Word, Excel, Outlook, and PowerPoint. But Automation Anywhere offers a co-pilot that is suitable for Salesforce, Genesys, Atlassian, and other contact center and standard applications. This is a game-changing feature for Automation Anywhere..."
"It's very easy to use and all of the employees can easily get involved in the process, whether they are a developer, support, or have an HR background."
"AA allows you to create processes using 3 types of robots: Task Bot, Meta Bot, and IQ Bot. Instead of rewriting redundant code for processes, a meta bot can be used instead. This type of robot is best used for complex scalable processes. IQ Bot: The most powerful of the 3 types of robots is the IQ Bot."
"The asset discovery feature in BMC is notably better compared to ServiceNow."
"It will simplify handling tasks by providing shortcuts and automating the generation of requests and tickets, including their categorization."
"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 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."
"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."
"Financial aspects, and handling of the life cycle."
"Samanage has not only taken over asset and inventory management, but it also has the ability to function across departments, making it easy for end users to submit help desk tickets for IT, HR, and Finance."
"I would recommend Samanage from the IT support perspective because it's a great ticketing system and the only downside is the site shutdowns and the messy nature of the UI and UX."
"The best part is the ability to keep records, especially incident records. It's easy to use the tool to store data and monitor it."
"The solution has a great filtering feature."
 

Cons

"We had had issues with scalability. Recently, we had a use case which we were working on, but we could not do it because Automation Anywhere could not connect to the system."
"One area where I can see room for improvement is the training material that is available."
"Automation Anywhere is a tool. It is not able to go ahead and extract the hand-written documents."
"I am looking for artificial intelligence and machine learning. I hope that they introduce them in A2019. I'm looking forward to what will be there in A2019 because that's the area that we need to go forward. We are looking for Automation Anywhere to put up their efforts to make it easier by incorporating artificial intelligence and machine learning. Along with RPA, this would make our automation journey very easy. We can bring more processes into automation, that's where I am looking for automation to focus on."
"One key feature for improvement I have been providing feedback on through the MVP program is enhancing natural language conversation to action. The Automation Anywhere product team is actively putting this feature into their roadmap, which I believe is crucial."
"There are a lot of issues in the tool. There are a lot of breakdowns."
"The vendor should increase the training and other engagements with users before they acquire the platform, as this will simplify its usage further and ensure that there no hindrances in using the platform."
"The scheduling is a little difficult at times. Rather than setting up individual instances, it would be really nice if we had the ability to set repetitive jobs easily. Right now, if you want a job to run every 15 minutes, you have to schedule it a lot of times. I'd rather have the ability to just say 'run every 15 minutes.'"
"The product's scalability is one area with certain shortcomings that need to be considered for improvement."
"The UI is quite outdated."
"There is room for improvement in terms of support."
"I think the way the Software Asset Management is designed makes it kind of complicated."
"The system excels in hardware asset management, but has limitations in software asset management, particularly in discovering full licenses installed on different workstations and creating relationship trees for assets assigned to employees or devices."
"Continuous improvement is recommended."
"If we migrate to the cloud, the Software as a Service version's price is very high. The return on investment is very small in our case."
"The desktop technicians face some challenges with the solution."
"The system shuts down about once a month which is frustrating."
"We've had some problems with the system shutting down about once a month. It sometimes takes five or 10 minutes to start working again but it can also take hours."
"The setting up process is not quite easy. It's quite difficult."
"There are definitely areas for improvement, but so far, so good."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Yearly, our licensing costs are about $90,000 to $100,000. There will be additional licensing costs when we add more Bot Runners to our infrastructure."
"Because it reduced the time duration of our processes, our costs went down."
"It's fine. However, I'm concerned with the credits in terms of the pricing for the AI models. It is understandable that the new ones are more expensive, but the base models, after doing the pricing conversion, cost about four to ten times as much as paying directly."
"Automation Anywhere is thought to be quite expensive, especially for smaller organizations."
"The setup cost for this is onetime and licensing is based on your choice of product."
"The cost of Automation Anywhere is high in Turkey due to the weak economy."
"The licensing cost of Automation Anywhere is better than UiPath and Blue Prism."
"In terms of pricing, it's not at all cheap, and that's a concern. The licensing cost is very high. While I don't know the exact prices of other tools, Microsoft offers the lowest pricing for its RPA platform compared to UiPath and Automation Anywhere."
"The pricing is on the expensive side."
"BMC Remedy is worth its price."
"The tool is expensive."
"Pricing is expensive compared to lower-end solutions, but it's on par with ServiceNow."
"BMC should decrease the pricing further."
"BMC no longer sells Remedy separately. They've transitioned to selling the BMC Helix platform. Remedy itself is nearing end-of-support."
"The licensing model of BMC Remedy Asset Management should improve. It is expensive and it is difficult to understand."
"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."
"It is expensive."
