Executive SummaryUpdated on Nov 3, 2024

Freshservice and IT Care Center are two competing IT service management solutions. Freshservice is preferred for its comprehensive features, while IT Care Center is favored for its customization capabilities and cost-effectiveness.

Features: Freshservice offers asset management, a straightforward incident management system, and seamless integration possibilities. It supports contract management and provides reliable analytics to enhance operational efficiencies. IT Care Center stands out for its flexibility in creating customized workflows and forms, making ticket management more intuitive. It also provides automation that streamlines internal processes.

Room for Improvement: Freshservice could improve its customization options, particularly in user interface adjustments and workflow automation. Reporting capabilities and integrations with external tools like Microsoft Outlook could be enhanced. IT Care Center should aim for a modernized user interface and better mobile responsiveness. Improved connectivity with telephony solutions such as Teams and Cisco is also needed.

Ease of Deployment and Customer Service: Freshservice primarily offers public cloud deployment, praised for speed and flexibility. Its customer support is responsive but sometimes inconsistent. IT Care Center provides on-premises deployment options, appealing to those with specific infrastructure preferences. Reliable support is offered, though more direct user engagement and training options would enhance service.

Pricing and ROI: Freshservice's tiered pricing model depends on agents and features, making it scalable yet potentially expensive. IT Care Center features bundled modules in a single license, ensuring no unexpected costs and appealing to budget-conscious organizations. Both solutions deliver a significant ROI through streamlined processes and improved service delivery.

Automation Anywhere

Featured Reviews

Venkat Sivaprakash

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 Service Delivery Manager at Symposiam

Automation and AI have transformed our service delivery and have made IT support faster and more efficient

I always keep up with Freshservice's roadmaps and new features. Freshservice has been very good at listening to feedback and adding those feature requests into their next iterations. I wish they would offer more granular data export options for utilizing in Power BI, along with predictive analytics for capacity planning and SLA breaches to enable more proactive support management and reduce firefighting. While the dashboards are effective, some users find custom reporting limited compared to ServiceNow or Jira. I would also appreciate deeper integrations, especially for niche apps requiring development coding work to enable advanced orchestration. Native integrations for DevOps pipelines such as GitHub Actions and Jenkins, along with stronger API flexibility for complex workflows, would enhance functionality. Although the CMDB and asset management are solid, they do lack advanced dependency mapping compared to other enterprise tools. My wishlist includes automated impact analysis for changes and improved visualization of asset relationships, enabling quicker resolutions from an agent's perspective when alerts come in. I acknowledge that Device42 may enhance this, but it is an extra cost beyond what we already pay. While Freddy AI is excellent for triage and suggestions, some users desire more proactive automation, such as predictive ticket routing based on historical patterns and AI-driven capacity forecasting. Lastly, the pricing tiers might seem rigid for mid-sized teams, so a more granular add-on option for features such as Device42 or pay-per-use for orchestration workflows could be beneficial.

Technology and Infrastructure Manager at Colmobil

Simple and quick to implement, easy to use, saves us time and money

This is a very flexible system, which is why I chose the platform. It is flexible with respect to our company processes and workflows, and this is something that is very important to us. The system allows us to configure simple forms and flows, and we use it when new employees are hired, when one transfers from one unit to another, or when one leaves the company. These are the main reasons that I use the functionality of the forms. IT Care Center has very much helped to simplify our IT service management. I have an SLA that commits me to 85% with the company. This platform allows me to provide services at almost 92%. It is very useful from this point of view. This product has helped us to reduce the number of IT tickets because after we have worked on a problem and closed the ticket, we send the user information on what steps we took to solve the problem. With the explanation, a user knows how to deal with the problem if it happens again. The reports also help us to reduce the number of tickets that we have. We look to see what the main reasons are for incidents and look at whether the same problem is recurring. This allows us to fix the problem in basic maintenance, and it has been very successful in helping to reduce the number of related tickets. Using this solution has helped us to reduce costs in two ways, both as a result of having fewer tickets. The first is that we have fewer employees; we have reduced our staff from five people to only three. Second, we have reduced the related hardware costs. We do not need to pay for as many PCs or laptops.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"Automation Anywhere is stable."

"The return on investment from Automation Anywhere at our organization has been both tangible and intangible, delivering value far beyond the initial financial calculation."

"For the tasks that I do repeatedly, I can record processes using Automation Anywhere. I record mouse and keyboard actions and create a workflow for those activities. This minimizes my workload. The recording option is very useful."

"It has improved the reliability of our monthly billing processes that, in the past, was dependent on manual, nine-to-five types of activities, and we can now schedule those activities, process 24 hours a day, and then we review exceptions."

"From a developer perspective, the user interface is user-friendly and easy to use."

"It eliminates redundant work from our offshore team to free up FTEs."

"We valued the ease of use, when we were thinking about scaling out to the business. The recording feature, while not a developer tool - it is a tool for a business user who may not possess the thought process of a developer - we valued that in our evaluation."

"I like the OCR feature, where we can capture information from PDFs."

More Automation Anywhere pros

"With Freshservice in place, we have reversed the trend of creating tickets."

"It allowed the development team to concentrate on the client’s requirements instead."

"It has greatly improved the process of ticket triaging."

"The product is loaded with all the features you need."

"It's very handy and very easy to use."

"The most valuable features of Freshservice are the notifications, customization, and flexibility."

"I would recommend it if you're looking for a really quick way of getting your help desk up and running with a ticketing system and some pretty cool automation with emails, notifications, etc."

"Freshservice has had a significant positive impact, especially when managing AWS-related IT operations by centralizing incident management and automating repetitive tasks."

More Freshservice pros

"For customer service, IT Care Center has helped us to centralize our daily IT activities in one platform; it has made our operations easier to use, more efficient, reliable, and available."

"Overall, the solution has helped to simplify our IT service management, with fewer calls giving us more time to work without distraction, better efficiency in the IT department, and cost reductions of 33 percent along with a 30 to 35 percent reduction in the time it takes to manage tasks."

"All of my staff is quite familiar with the usage and we customize based on our daily needs and based on different profiles. As a manager, I require diagnostics on a weekly or monthly basis. diagnostics. There needs to be some reporting for management and for my customers' management as well. So we created our own template. All of our different staff were required to do their own tagging or own tracking of cases. We create our own templates. I create my own template for my own weekly and monthly reporting to management. It's quite flexible in the sense that we're able to add our own customized views. We are able to easily export all this information into a proper reporting structure."

"My advice for anybody who is looking into this product is not to think twice."

"It runs smoothly and all of the components are very easy to work with."

"We have a lot of automation running from our HR system to IT Care Center. When a ticket has been raised to us, we can notify hiring managers on the status of every employee. We also get notifications in Slack for every ticket opened."

"ITCC has helped us to simplify our IT service management and has definitely helped in reducing our time for consolidating reports, classifying reports, and tracking the problem, tickets, issues, and resolve."

"We managed to reduce costs by half by switching to IT Care Center, not including any professional services."

More IT Care Center pros

Cons

"The EXE license is such that I can create executable files from the developer machine and deploy it; however, the file that you created can only be deployed to one system, so if you wanted to deploy this test file to, say, 10 test systems you would need 10 licenses."

"When a bot is in production, sometimes the keystrokes will not work. I am not sure why, and we have tried to contact technical support. They said that they don't have an answer for this. It happens in the the remote environment when we are deploying a bot into AWS machines. So, technical support said this happens in AWS machines sometimes: If the bot is running and the machine is locked, then at that time, the key strokes will not work. They have provided that solution, but we are trying to avoid keystrokes now."

"It would be great if they could do more third-party Salesforce integrations into the RPA side, which would be helpful."

"The product needs to catch up to the promise of known technology and apply more intelligent behaviors concerning AI or unstructured learning."

"Business processes are more complex and require experts to be brought in to automate."

"We need a better way of getting upgrades or defect fixes. It is creating problems for us, as we have to go for a completely new version. Maintaining and managing existing bots, then coming up with new ones takes a lot of time. We would rather have a batch fix than an installation to an installation."

"The debugging tools need to be included, for where and why it has failed to execute the bot in a clear manner."

"We have done some automation of incoming documents, but it has been somewhat hard."

More Automation Anywhere cons

"It's still a new product, so there are some areas that are a little frustrating."

"I am not too happy with the page layout or screen layout since it always looks messy."

"We'd like to see a CMDB, a Configuration Management Database, in the future."

"Freshservice's technical support has issues with delays and translations."

"Sometimes, the billing process is an absolute nightmare."

"While we're just starting with project management, I foresee some limitations with it two or three years down the line."

"This product is very good for small and mid-level markets; however, I'm not sure about expanding to a 100,000 to 200,000 user base or more."

"The chat portal is not that great."

More Freshservice cons

"The UI screens could be a little bit more modern."

"If there is such a feature, it would be very good for us to track how long it takes to resolve issues."

"Our business is quite interesting because we actually look at our staff based on their productivity. So if a case is created where we want to track the productivity of the user, sometimes we look at how many actual hours they clocked in to solve the case. We realized that it would take quite a lot of hours, which was unusually high. We want to look at how we can measure that against a baseline. For example, every user should resolve the issue within three hours. We want a certain baseline where they have to resolve the issue within certain times and if they don't, I would get alerted."

"There is no global support. With our previous system, we had 24/7 global support. We need much faster support. When I have an issue and raise a ticket, someone should call me back. They can also think about having object-oriented APEX so that the agents can easily create dashboards instead of having to learn the complete APEX language. This is something very important for us. We are using Oracle APEX for creating certain dashboards with KPIs. This is the visual platform that we use to see all the data, and it is very important for us because we get all the BI and data. Currently, we have a vendor who helps us with that because we don't know how to use it ourselves. We want to use it to make more dashboards with more KPIs for every department, but we cannot because we don't have the knowledge. We are very dependent on the vendor and the time he has for us."

"There is no global support. With our previous system, we had 24/7 global support."

"IT Care Center has some room for improvement in regard to mobile. It doesn't have an application, there is only an adaptable web page, and that is less convenient."

"I would like the solution to have a native application for mobile phones. While I have IT Care Center in my mobile, it is not a pure application, like Outlook or Teams."

"There is no such thing as a perfect solution and in the past, I have contacted support to implement new features."

More IT Care Center cons

Pricing and Cost Advice

"One of the key features that we chose, the bot as a service or the BotFarm, when they launched version 11.3, they decided not to have the BotFarm anymore. This put us in a situation because we expected to have bots on demand, just like our cloud software. This would have been cost efficient for us to use. We hope to see this again being realized with A2019. I hope the scalability from an on demand basis improves."

"The current pricing for Automation Anywhere seems a little higher compared to competitors Power Automate or UiPath. Automation Anywhere is perceived as pricey due to the support model charges ranging from 20% to 30% based on the plans."

"Our licensing costs are setup on an annual basis."

"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."

"The pricing is fair. My company is part of a big organization, so the pricing is very advantageous."

"I am not responsible for the pricing part, but I know the pricing is competitive compared to other tools."

"We have saved a lot of money on taxes based on the stuff that we run."

"Whatever investment, licensing, and resource costs together are put in for development and delivery, we are still at an ROI of 250 percent."

More Automation Anywhere pricing and cost advice

"Our licensing fee for Freshservice is $2,500 a year."

"It is good for the price you pay. It has different plans. If you need all features, you need to go for a higher plan. Currently, with the second tier plan, you cannot completely separate the group of agents. So, the agent in each group can see another person's ticket. You also cannot modify the rules based on the viewable, readable stuff and cannot have a custom role in this plan. If you want to do that, you have to go for a higher plan. It works in our case because it doesn't matter if the other group can see our ticket because it doesn't contain anything sensitive. We also didn't need the project or change management features. That's why we didn't go with a higher plan."

"It was a middle tier. It wasn't an expensive one. It was a tier model usage. Licensing costs varied between admin users and regular users."

"The price of Freshservice could improve, it is expensive."

"The pricing is reasonable."

"We're basically paying about $100 USD per agent per month."

"Freshservice is a fairly cheap solution. Though monthly payments can be made towards the licensing costs of the solution, my company prefers to make annual payments."

"Its price is great. Its pricing is supposedly a lot less than ServiceNow and other alternatives."

More Freshservice pricing and cost advice

"With SysAid, we paid for every end-user. If we had 100 end-users, we had to pay for each one of them. With IT Care Center, we can have as many users as we want. We only pay for the end unit. We have the asset manager and different models that we can use for the same price. So, it reduces costs."

"This product is very cheap when compared to other platforms."

"We reduced our costs compared to our previous solution, which was really expensive. We managed to reduce costs by half by switching to IT Care Center, not including any professional services."

"Buy it as one package, not as modules. That is from my knowledge and experience. Most of the time, it has better pricing. They have flexibility by price size in the negotiation."

"The licensing model is very flexible."

"Compared to other products in the market, pricing is reasonable. It does meet our usage and requirements."
