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.

"I have been using Automation Anywhere for the past five years and it is one of the best tools to automate manual tasks."

"I think the way the Software Asset Management is designed makes it kind of complicated."
"When it comes to CMDB, to be able to manage the data, you have to have Atrium integrator, another integrated tool."
"Could be more user friendly for admins to manage."
"BMC Remedy's change management module needs enhancement."
"Maybe the network automation aspects need improvement."
"The tool is very old."
"I would like to have more customized reporting because the management team loves customized reports with graphs."

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The pricing of AA is similar to UiPath."
"Automation Anywhere is affordable."
"The licensing cost for Automation Anywhere is high."
"Approximately, for a developer, it is around $750 for a license a year. For Bot Runners, it is about $550."
"Including the AWS setup and everything per license, it costs us around $10,000 on an annual basis. I believe that is pretty reasonable considering the teams that we have."
"The licensing cost is approximately $4,000 USD, which is a seed license."
"I would like them to have better license management."
"If we count the integrations that we have done with Appian, which is where a lot of our savings is from, we are well over a million dollars in savings. This is from only doing development for about a year and a half."
"It is an expensive tool."
"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."
"I find the pricing to be reasonable."
"With the product, you can either go for a yearly or a perpetual licensing model."
"The tool is expensive."
"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 price depends on different enterprises. As compared to Citrix, VMware is reasonable."
