Management Consultant at Accenture
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.

IT Manager at a retailer with 1-10 employees
Structured workflows have improved ticket resolution and have prevented hardware losses
The two best features GLPI by Teclib offers are the inventory management and the help desk ticketing system. Having equipment history linked to user support tickets has made resolving issues much faster and easier. The inventory feature saves me time because I don't have to ask users for their equipment details as the specs are already in the system. With the ticketing system, having a full history of past uses allows us to solve repeat problems much faster without starting from scratch. The knowledge base feature is really useful for documenting solutions to common issues so team members don't have to troubleshoot the same problem twice. GLPI by Teclib has positively impacted my organization by bringing structure and clarity to our daily work. Before GLPI by Teclib, support requests were chaotic, but now everything is centralized. It has improved our response time, reduced user downtime, and helped us keep total control of our IT assets. The ticket resolution time is much faster now because we can easily track and prioritize incidents. We haven't lost any hardware since we started using GLPI by Teclib because everything is registered and assigned to a specific user.
Todd Blake - PeerSpot reviewer
Senior IT Specialist at a healthcare company with 11-50 employees
A solution that streamlines ticket creation for the staff members of a business and enables efficient issue resolution by the IT team
SysAid is similar to Nintex AssureSign. Some of the back-end configurations of the solution are very difficult. So, we always need SysAid's help. Also, there are almost too many features that we are not taking advantage of in our company since we don't even know about them. A little bit of a streamlining or simplification of the main features would be a good improvement. I would like to see SysAid present its solution more easily. There is a lot in the solution, and it is more than what we need in our company.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The universal recorder is a kind of hybrid recorder that enables the user to record the data across devices."
"The AI collaboration is the most impressive feature of Automation Anywhere."
"Be it a Windows application, a web application, or a legacy tool, Automation Anywhere is able to achieve automation on these technologies seamlessly."
"The most valuable feature is the Excel operations because the most repetitive task which we used to do was Excel operations, and Automation Anywhere has the Excel commands feature where we can run Excel Macros, which is very valuable and is saving so much time for us."
"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."
"The vision and the journey Automation Anywhere is on is phenomenal."
"We have seen AA bringing immense value to the clients once operational."
"The integration of Automation Anywhere into our clients' workflows, APIs, business applications, and documents was seamless, but it was a bit of a struggle until we realized that it has a built-in integration platform."
"The product is very easy to deploy."
"After implementing the inventory with GLPI by Teclib, we were able to identify devices that were already obsolete in order to upgrade the machine or even sometimes replace it, leading to employees becoming more satisfied with their work tools and able to work better without the problems they sometimes had four or five times a day due to slowness, freezing, and other issues."
"The best features GLPI by Teclib offers in my experience are its stability; I believe it is a very genuine technology because through my seven years working with GLPI by Teclib, everything has been stable."
"GLPI helps with tracking device assets. For example, when I assign a laptop to an employee, the GLPI agent installed on the client device gathers detailed information about it."
"GLPI by Teclib has positively impacted my organization by bringing structure and clarity to our daily work, improving our response time, reducing user downtime, and helping us keep total control of our IT assets."
"The most valuable features of GLPI are its ITSM capabilities, including ticketing, automatic tasks, plugins, and notification systems."
"For whoever ends up reading this, GLPI by Teclib is a free, open source tool that really works very well and runs very well."
"GLPI by Teclib offers excellent asset management as one of its best features, while the ticketing system is adequate, and I need more detailed reporting."
"I really like the SysAid self-service portal; it's very customizable and we can customize it to fit our needs rather well."
"The simplicity of the solution is excellent."
"At our agency, people love SysAid."
"The service desk orchestration, overall, is good. It allows an organization to build that service desk concept into its organizational and support strategy. And it allows an organization to digest that and create a support model very quickly around the tools. The fact that the tools are integrated within the system itself gives the organization a really robust way to integrate everything and have a complete support model."
"Overall the administrative side does save you costs in terms of resources and time."
"The service desk automation and orchestration are very good. We are implementing it at the moment. We implemented it for two of our applications already for our CRM. Whenever there's a change in the CRM, it will automate them into SysAid as well. We have two workflows from our CRM into SysAid, which is very helpful. Overall, we're very happy with the workflow."
"It's supporting the daily routine of the IT organization, it is the ticketing system, and it's very helpful due to the fact that it provides us with full evidence and full transparency for what we are working on."
"I would say the overall flexibility of the product is its most valuable feature."
 

Cons

"It is a bit wonky with HTML when I'm working with it. There are times when it's not able to detect the technology that we are using. I don't know whether it's an Automation Anywhere issue or an internal issue. I want it to work smoothly with more technologies."
"We have a new feature share in Automation Anywhere, but it does not migrate automatically from the previous version to the new one."
"Automation Anywhere is headed in the right direction but they still have a good way to go."
"We have a challenge in our front office automation where capturing details from a table within a table does not happen in the existing AA Enterprise client version 11.3.4. The AA team tries various methods like using an Excel spreadsheet to capture the tables."
"While the ease of use for non-tech users is good, it could be improved."
"A lot more can be done to make the solution easy for developer to use."
"We are not getting consistent behavior from the tool We would like to see this improved and the product more stable."
"It is nice being able to develop and manage/schedule scripts from the same web browser interface, but there are times I wish that the bot developer screen was made more user friendly."
"For the free version, the tool should improve the graphics as it is kind of old school. The graphics are very flat compared to Google Workspace and Office 365."
"The stability of Windows OS could be enhanced."
"In my opinion, GLPI by Teclib could be improved by potentially integrating certain elements that are currently only available via plugins."
"I give it an eight because sometimes I had some communication failures and some inventories that would stop, and there were problems with Office 365 at the time, which is why I did not give a higher rating."
"GLPI by Teclib can be improved, particularly about the notification."
"The UI of GLPI by Teclib is a bit old-fashioned, to be honest."
"The user interface of GLPI by Teclib could be more modern and intuitive."
"Compared to Zendesk, which is much more modern and simpler, GLPI, to be transparent, is quite old in terms of design."
"The administrative side of the user interface could be a little more user-friendly. It is easier for me to export our reports into Excel, then do a server retrieval and get the information. Whereas, to do a report, you have to go through a configuration type of process, which is kind of difficult and complicated. I have been using this solution for two years now and I still haven't gotten the hang of the reports."
"The automation needs improvement. The workflow has some improvements to do. There's some stuff that they are working on like having cascaded fields. For example, we're categorizing tickets by location, by site and by building and then by data room within a data center. At the moment they're all separate fields."
"The solution needs to improve their mobile product."
"One of the features that I'm hoping comes at some point is that currently you can only have one Knowledge Base instance within it."
"Monitoring needs improvement. At the moment we are looking for some advanced monitoring tools, which are using AI and machine learning as well. This product currently does not offer that."
"SysAid has fewer AI features compared to other tools."
"There is a learning curve for the users."
"The automation needs improvement. The workflow has some improvements to do."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"We have seen about a 10 percent monetary savings."
"We are restricted to use one license on one PC. However, if my license is not working, I want to be able to use it somewhere else. This would be a nice improvement to the licensing, as other competitors in the market have better licensing terms."
"Considering the cost, it is a bit high, but worth the price because the output accuracy is high."
"The pricing is reasonable and one can achieve ROI faster when compared to other tools."
"Our licensing costs are setup on an annual basis."
"We just did a round of price comparison on a global scale and found it's so hard to compare the license prices. But, Automation Anywhere, in general, is on the same price level as the other vendors, a bit lower in some cases."
"The licensing cost is approximately $4,000 USD, which is a seed license."
"We only deal in annual licenses. There are no pay-as-you-go licenses."
"I have used the tool's open-source version...GLPI Network Cloud is 19 Euros per month. It comes with one agent only, but if you use the IT asset management part, it is unlimited."
"The solution's pricing is reasonable."
"Once you're interested, talk with SysAid. You can have them come in and look at your company and advise you on the best solution. They will tell you what comes with each separate package and also advise you what application to activate. If you want something that they don't have, they have a department that can design something based on your unique requests."
"Overall, the price is good. It's all about what you get for the base amount. From my perspective, you want to look at what you're getting out-of-the-box. SysAid does a good job of putting key stuff in the box for you."
"The pricing of SysAid is less than its competitors."
"We saw our investment back at the end of year one."
"Though I am not really sure about SysAid's prices, I know that it is competitive compared to some of the other products that our company looked at, like ConnectWise and ServiceNow."
"SysAid is a good solution, especially from a pricing perspective."
