Featured Reviews

Nadeem K. - PeerSpot reviewer
Rpa Developer at a consultancy with 11-50 employees
Automation has freed teams from repetitive finance and supply tasks and supports global operations
In the current organization, we had trouble initially because I think the documentation and support could be better than what it is now. This is one difference between Automation Anywhere and other RPA tools such as UiPath. In UiPath, if you have an issue, you go to the UiPath website and search for it, and you get lots of help materials. In Automation Anywhere, you do not get exactly what you are looking for. You get a very large number of results when you search for something, and from this large result set, you have to filter out what you need, or only partial information will be available. User handbooks are available for each product. In that regard, I would say Automation Anywhere is lagging compared to other RPA tools. It is difficult to get hold of their customer support team. I want to clarify that it is not a matter of us building logic on Automation Anywhere and it failing. When it is a product-related issue, they have to give us support because we only know how to develop within Automation Anywhere. We do not know how to fix Automation Anywhere itself. Whenever we have an issue, trying to get in touch with them always takes three to four business days.

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

"Automation Anywhere greatly improved our processing time since robots can execute process steps faster than human resources do."
"By using SNMP configurations and Excel, I was able to read the mail. I used this functionality to categorize the fabric, then I used this information to correlate the value to Jira along with Excel."
"By providing the companies with such a useful and productive tool, they save a lot of time and money on tasks that can be performed by small bots."
"It is very easy to use and learn compared to a programming language, where you have to have a background in coding. Anyone can learn it. Learning the software is easy."
"I have been using Automation Anywhere for the past five years and it is one of the best tools to automate manual tasks."
"Automation Anywhere was easier to learn for the developers. It has a lot of out of box features when it comes to SAP, Excel, and others."
"There are ready plugins and connectors to integrate with APIs for common systems like Oracle or Microsoft."
"What I like about Automation Anywhere is the object cloning and the way you can move the mouse and either go to a particular point or go to an element. That's very easy and intuitive in Automation Anywhere... If I need to mimic a human behavior, I will use Automation Anywhere."
"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 by Teclib offers excellent asset management as one of its best features, while the ticketing system is adequate, and I need more detailed reporting."
"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."
"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 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."
"The most valuable features of GLPI are its ITSM capabilities, including ticketing, automatic tasks, plugins, and notification systems."
"In my opinion, the best features that GLPI by Teclib offers our organization are its speed, smoothness, user-friendliness, and intuitiveness."
"The product is very easy to deploy."
"The most valuable feature of TOPdesk is the reports."
"Change management is the most critical feature."
"It is an easy-to-use solution."
"As we have moved to an off-premises deployment, we get regular updates."
"TOPdesk is overall very stable."
"The most valuable feature of this solution is the incident management module."
"Technical support is great and we have not had any issues with them."
"This solution has provided me with a well-defined process and interaction, compared to my previous tool, GLPI."
 

Cons

"In the last two years, with the help of IQ Bot, and what I learned today about this Attended Automation 2.0, I think they are addressing vital key challenges that we have faced so far."
"The implementation process is complex, as there is integration with other applications."
"Automation Anywhere can improve the product in potential areas of improvement with respect to automation and AI."
"The product's technical support could use improvement."
"Some things that I do not see as of today are interactive chat or video interface."
"There are areas of improvement needed, such as complex decision-making skills. When updates are made, the IQ Bot's actions can be affected, leading to decision-making failures."
"There are many bots available on the Bot Store. However, my developer told me that he was unhappy with the quality of the bots available."
"We would like Automation Anywhere to have a way to run a capacity check on machines and show us what is available."
"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."
"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."
"The solution must be more flexible."
"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."
"In my opinion, GLPI by Teclib could be improved by potentially integrating certain elements that are currently only available via plugins."
"Compared to Zendesk, which is much more modern and simpler, GLPI, to be transparent, is quite old in terms of design."
"Scalability is difficult with GLPI by Teclib because it focuses on inventory and requires more features."
"The stability of Windows OS could be enhanced."
"In some fields, it's just not good enough."
"The solution's change management could be better."
"The solution should be made more user-friendly."
"It is time-consuming to add new users."
"If I open a ticket on the infrastructure team, I can't move it to the financial team for them to manage the ticket."
"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."
"An operator is also a user but requires creating two different records."
"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."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"There is an annual subscription for Automation Anywhere."
"We have seen about a 10 percent monetary savings."
"It is one of the most affordable RPA solutions, and as for licensing, they offer a community edition that greatly helps anyone who aspires to learn about the product before buying the enterprise solution."
"As far as costs, it depends on your use. We started with a basic department pack, which is over 10K. The additional costs depend on the scale of the engagement and how it pans out. We customize to our needs on the go."
"We have seen a return of investment because it takes less time to market in our current process. I would estimate a times savings between 20 to 30 percent."
"The price is a little bit high but the support is good."
"It looks like it will be right around $115,000, not counting IQ Bot, which we won't renew until later."
"The cost is high for small-scale businesses but it is fine for medium and large enterprises. Its high licensing cost may affect small-scale businesses. Reducing licensing costs would benefit many users."
"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."
"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's pricing is reasonable and not expensive."
"The solution is inexpensive compared to competitors."
"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."
"TOPdesk's pricing is cheaper than Jira's."
