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.

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.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"One of the strengths of Automation Anywhere is its user-friendly interface, which makes it accessible even to those without a development background."
"Our organization used to have a process which took five business days to do: our monthly pricing update. This was a very manual process. Our very first bot built was to automate this process. Now, the bot runs in the background every month and the process takes less than a day to run."
"The organizations where we have implemented AA have seen tremendous benefits achieved in terms of time and cost-saving with the highest quality of deliverables."
"The speed of the delivery is its most valuable feature."
"It is easy to install and use."
"Comparing to other products in the market, we are getting all the features in hundred percent quality with what the objective needs to be met by other products, and that is also delivered in Automation Anywhere."
"Document automation has notably reduced manual effort."
"The recorders are highly beneficial when automating web scraping or web automation tasks."
"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 is very customizable, and we can integrate it with any other application via the API."
"The BMC Helix Platform is perfect."
"BMC Helix Platform helps in digital transformation and internal workflows and processes being adopted from different departments in line of businesses."
"GLPI by Teclib is a very good tool, and I recommend it."
"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."
"The most valuable features of GLPI are its ITSM capabilities, including ticketing, automatic tasks, plugins, and notification systems."
"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."
"One thing I would mention about GLPI by Teclib as a positive is that it is very easy to use."
"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."
"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 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."
 

Cons

"I want the tool to be more stabilized. After three or four hours, the navigation keeps changing. We will be running error handling for 8,000 process and the system will fail. We need it to be more stable."
"In the Microsoft Excel features, it needs a command to wait for a calculation to complete."
"Cost is the biggest area in need of improvement for Automation Anywhere. Annually it's $250,000."
"The older versions, like version 8 and 9, were not very stable."
"The UI could be made better because the UI in Version 11 was better and easier as compared to a2019."
"When you are hosting the application, that is when it is a little more complicated to set up. You need to talk to the IT department, as you are actually outside of their firewall, then you are coming back inside their cloud."
"Excel functionalities, the macro interface can be improved in the next release of RPA platform Automation Anywhere."
"The technical support has been a little slow to respond to our inquiries."
"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."
"We faced some stability issues with BMC Helix Platform's cloud version. Services and integration to AD weren't working properly at times."
"To improve BMC Helix Platform, they could enhance the mobile experience."
"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."
"GLPI by Teclib can be improved as sometimes it gets slowed down."
"I've encountered some issues with GLPI. The official documentation on the GLPI website recommends using PHP version 8.3, but it used to recommend PHP version 8.2."
"The UI of GLPI by Teclib is a bit old-fashioned, to be honest."
"One area for improvement is the occasional issues we encounter, which are not directly related to GLPI but are due to network providers. These include network errors like 502 and 504, indicating some failure in network communication with the server."
"GLPI by Teclib can be improved, particularly about the notification."
"The stability of Windows OS could be enhanced."
"Compared to Zendesk, which is much more modern and simpler, GLPI, to be transparent, is quite old in terms of design."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Based on what I've heard, it's costly, but I don't know much about its pricing."
"Automation Anywhere's pricing falls within the mid-range, but the long-term benefits outweigh the initial investment."
"Whatever investment, licensing, and resource costs together are put in for development and delivery, we are still at an ROI of 250 percent."
"It's somewhat pricier than some of the other tools that we've used, and the breakout between the different applications is also somewhat costly. If they can make it a little more cost-effective or bundle packages a little bit more, that would be beneficial."
"The price of this product is good."
"It is the most economically friendly and it provides you with a lot of functions."
"If you are looking into Automation Anywhere, get the Community Edition and play with it."
"I think the pricing is reasonable, but clients often perceive it as expensive."
"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."
"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."
