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.

Platform has unified complex IT workflows and supports deep customization for daily operations
While BMC Helix Platform is highly customizable and powerful, there is always room for enhancement, particularly from a user experience perspective. One area that could be improved is the end-user interface. Simplifying navigation, consolidating options into a single, intuitive view, and ensuring that all related information is easily accessible on one platform would enhance efficiency and reduce potential errors during ticketing or workflow management. From an administrative and backend perspective, streamlining workflows and making backend operations simpler would be valuable. For example, critical actions like closing large change requests could be more flexible and guided, helping administrators manage complex scenarios without switching between multiple consoles. Additionally, improving the search functionality across the platform to make it faster and more intelligent would benefit both end users and administrators. A stronger, more context-aware search mechanism would help quickly locate tickets, assets, or workflow details without navigating through multiple pages. Overall, while the platform’s core capabilities are excellent for ITSM and enterprise process automation, enhancements in the interface, workflow simplification, and search could make it even more user-friendly and efficient, further strengthening its value for organizations of all sizes.

Technical Officer at a tech services company with 11-50 employees
Responsive technical support and an easy initial setup but needs better asset management
We found the initial setup to be surprisingly straightforward. It's not overly complex and difficult, and the ease of setup is a great selling point. We started to do it on our own as it was so straightforward. There is a beginner's guide on their website which you can use. It's a very good toolbox and very useful. Basically, all you need to do is start up your virtual machine inside or outside, put in some passwords, and run one or two commands as directed and it's up and ready to go. The only thing that may take a while is the configuration process. Otherwise, the deployment is relatively fast. In about two weeks it's completely done. We have two or three people involved in the maintenance aspect of the product

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"It helps increase productivity by 20% to 30%."
"The marketing automation software provides easy workflow creation and management."
"I have some metrics at the top of my head, but they're a little abstract. Accomplishing what we've done so far with the bots in production would take 40,000. It's not a direct correlation of full-time employees because that's all work that would not have gotten done because they don't have time for that kind of nitty-gritty work."
"Document automation has impacted efficiency and productivity because initially, we tried training the module on multiple unstructured documents, which resulted in less efficiency, but over time, we have trained with multiple documents, and it is now achieving great accuracy."
"Many of our tasks are automated using AA and due to ease in handling, it becomes the first choice in terms of RPA tool."
"The solution is very easy to implement."
"Object cloning is one of the main features that are using. We are very happy with it. as It has enabled us to capture a lot of things on screen and use them."
"Basically, to be frank, most of the features are awesome."
"The most valuable features of BMC Helix Platform for service delivery include Helix GPT, which uses AI and GPT within the enterprise service management space."
"BMC Helix Platform helps in digital transformation and internal workflows and processes being adopted from different departments in line of businesses."
"The BMC Helix Platform is perfect."
"BMC Helix Platform is very customizable, and we can integrate it with any other application via the API."
"The documentation for beginners is easily available online and very useful."
"Due to this product, we've been able to improve our IT services and how we work."
 

Cons

"IQ Bot requires a significant improvement for its data detection and data retention, mainly from the previously trained documents: regarding the document's format, layout, data contained within the document, the type of data that needs to be extracted."
"Some things that I do not see as of today are interactive chat or video interface."
"Some NLP AI is required to work in combination with RPA, especially for reading unstructured emails."
"I would like to have the ability to work on a remote desktop connection, run the recording on it and use all commands."
"The expectations of what we thought was possible, versus what appears to be possible, were a little bit off."
"The initial setup was quite complex. We have faced an issue. During the initial implementation stages, it took longer than we expected. It affected our timelines to a certain extent."
"Automation Anywhere is easy to use, even if you lack technical skills. People without deep technical expertise can easily develop scenarios."
"I would like to see more stability around scheduling a bot to run headless."
"We faced some stability issues with BMC Helix Platform's cloud version. Services and integration to AD weren't working properly at times."
"The cost of BMC Helix is very high, with an estimation of not less than $100,000 making it difficult for us to adopt the platform fully."
"BMC Helix Platform is very customizable, but the user interface is not good; it should be very user-friendly, the options should be very visible, and everything should be on a single platform."
"To improve BMC Helix Platform, they could enhance the mobile experience."
"We have noticed that sometimes we have a delay in action on technical support issues due to time differences."
"Asset management aspects of the solution need work."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Additional costs will be for the machines and the number of machines that you are using. You can deploy virtually as well as on physical machines. In both the situations, you do need to allocate a certain budget for securing the machines and where the software will be installed and running. The machines cannot be used for anything else, because only a certain bot can run at a certain time. You need to be very particular about your scheduling of running the bots, and while the bot is running nobody can use the machine. You cannot have an agent working on a machine and the bot running in the background. It has to be completely dedicated. Then there are the network bandwidth requirements and space requirements, which are additional costs apart from the licensing and software costs. The developer is also going to charge you for their coding time too."
"There is an annual subscription for Automation Anywhere."
"The certifications are free of cost."
"We are currently negotiating a contract. Depending upon that, we will definitely look at increasing usage."
"The pricing model can be a bit more flexible."
"The pricing is a bit higher."
"The solution itself is free unless we want to add the support option but we have to pay for the bots we use."
"We're on a license package with Automation Anywhere (AA), paid yearly. What would be better is for them to have different packages for different types of organization."
"Regarding the cost, it's not expensive for enterprises but can be costly for small to medium-sized businesses. I recommend implementing a pricing model tailored for small to medium businesses to attract a larger customer base. Approximately, the license cost is around sixty dollars per month."
