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.

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.

Implement service management changes while addressing UI improvements
Topdesk's user interface makes it easy to handle requests and escalate them to other groups or reassign them when working on a single ticket. Additionally, the service management tool in HR allows for a change in delivering services, replacing email communication with ticket raising. The knowledge library enables the local HR to store and share relevant information and frequently asked cases, enhancing collaboration. The ticket system also facilitates escalating cases to other involved departments. IT, HR, and some other teams primarily use this system.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"We have saved customers 400% in terms of time saved by implementing this product."
"The Automation Copilot is helpful. It will automatically give you all the solutions your bot requires. It's like a dictionary."
"Automation Co-Pilot helped increase productivity."
"We're able to create reusable components. We don't want people to have to rebuild things from scratch. In this way, developers can take the reusable components and complete their development processes more quickly."
"We can access it anywhere. E.g., I can access dashboard from my Control Room on my mobile app using Automation Anywhere."
"Document automation has notably reduced manual effort."
"The features are pretty easy to use, like the drag and drop feature. It is easy and understand, even a layman knows how the application works. All the basic stuff can be done by anybody."
"Error handling plays an important role when you schedule a bot because if you are not physically present and something happens, you need to know what has gone wrong."
"GLPI by Teclib has positively impacted my organization by making the working process in my company easier."
"GLPI by Teclib has had a positive impact on my organization and my clients' work because it has made it possible to better manage the equipment and then, regarding tickets, it allows fairly smooth ticket management across different sites, as well as being able to manage users well."
"The most valuable features of GLPI are asset management, asset tracking, asset reporting, and ticket management. We use it as a configuration management database (CMDB), which is very useful for impact assessment and change management. The license management feature is also beneficial because it is bundled with asset management. When an agent reports a certain set into the database, all the software running on that host or server is assessed, collected, and reported. This makes license management very useful. Since implementing GLPI, we've noticed that our IT operations are more stable. The tool allows us to manage changes in the environment more effectively by creating change requests for assets. GLPI supports our processes, allowing us to organize IT operations with custom forms and workflows, making it quite flexible. Although the deployment is still in progress, we see significant benefits in organizing our IT processes with this tool."
"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."
"The product is user-friendly."
"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."
"For whoever ends up reading this, GLPI by Teclib is a free, open source tool that really works very well and runs very well."
"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."
"The most valuable feature of this solution is the incident management module."
"When it comes to implementing new features, they listen to what their customers want via a suggestion forum that they have."
"The most valuable feature of TOPdesk is the reports."
"Change management is the most critical feature."
"TOPdesk is overall very stable."
"Its ITSM approach is quite useful."
"The most valuable feature of the solution is the ticketing feature."
"This solution has provided me with a well-defined process and interaction, compared to my previous tool, GLPI."
 

Cons

"Compared to other RPA tools, the UI of Automation Anywhere is not that great and is not that easy to pick up for people, which takes more time for a newbie."
"I have been using IQ Bot, and its accuracy can be improved. It could be more accurate."
"The feature, which might be interesting for companies that don't already have an identity management system, was a bit tricky because I would have preferred the system to directly rely on our corporate identity and access management system to manage the bot's credentials."
"Migration is a little challenging since it requires direct integration with DB, credential vault and all that."
"More interactions with PDFs would be great for Automation Anywhere."
"We need a native way in Automation Anywhere's framework to tie all that information together, including AI dashboard, governance dashboards, and document automation results."
"It would be great if they could do more third-party Salesforce integrations into the RPA side, which would be helpful."
"I am looking for artificial intelligence and machine learning. I hope that they introduce them in A2019."
"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."
"Considering also the economical factor as well, it might be a bit concerning."
"I rate GLPI by Teclib a seven out of ten. I choose seven because GLPI by Teclib is a stable system but I do not give it a ten because it lacks some functionality regarding KPIs."
"GLPI by Teclib can be improved, particularly about the notification."
"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 as sometimes it gets slowed down."
"In my opinion, GLPI by Teclib could be improved by potentially integrating certain elements that are currently only available via plugins."
"An operator is also a user but requires creating two different records."
"It is time-consuming to add new users."
"Change management implementation, facility management, and making reservations on assets can be improved."
"One of the disadvantages of TOPdesk is the reporting tool. It is very poor and not in real-time. You do not always receive the correct information."
"If I open a ticket on the infrastructure team, I can't move it to the financial team for them to manage the ticket."
"In some fields, it's just not good enough."
"All companies have processes that need to be adjusted. When you have a change, you need to name it, and many companies have a set of changes you can use. It would be helpful if there were more space in TOPdesk to name the change or use metadata to record the kinds of changes."
"This solution is modular so you only buy what you need, but I prefer what some companies are doing where they include everything in the package."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"It is reasonable, but it can always be a little bit cheaper."
"It saves me around $100,000 a year."
"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."
"We are a partner of Automation Anywhere and find the pricing to be reasonable."
"The licensing cost is approximately $4,000 USD, which is a seed license."
"Our licensing costs are setup on an annual basis."
"Costs savings have been seen by employing bots for multiple shifts instead of people."
"It's cheaper than other similar solutions."
"The solution's pricing is reasonable."
"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 and not expensive."
"There are three fee options to choose from for a company and these options compared to market prices are very high. For example, if I use one of the first options for 10 assets, then it costs 20,000 Euros. If you went to competitors, then you pay less."
"The solution is inexpensive compared to competitors."
"TOPdesk's pricing is cheaper than Jira's."
"Compared to other products in this segment, I think that they are priced well and not too expensive."
"The cost of the solution on a yearly basis is $20,000. Technical support is not extra. It's included in the yearly cost. Updates are also included. The solution is good at keeping its product up to date."
