Compare Console vs. Robin by Atera

Console is an AI-powered ITSM and automation platform that brings employee requests into one place, handles repetitive work automatically, and takes action across the tools a company already uses. Requests come in through Slack, Teams, or Google Chat and arrive in a shared inbox where Console sorts them, assigns priority, and directs them to the right path. It pulls from your knowledge base to answer routine questions, and runs playbooks to execute more involved requests — including approval chains and connections to identity providers, HR systems, and SaaS apps. The goal isn't ticket tracking; it's actually closing requests out, with intake, decisioning, and execution all handled inside one ITSM.

Robin by Atera is an autonomous IT support solution that helps organizations resolve device and cloud-related issues automatically. The system functions as an AI-powered IT agent capable of handling support requests from employees across communication channels such as Slack, Microsoft Teams, email, and service portals. Robin analyzes incoming requests, verifies user identity through integrations with systems like Okta, Azure AD, or Google Workspace, and collects the necessary technical data to diagnose the issue. The platform can perform actions directly on endpoints, including installing applications, restarting devices, managing updates, resolving network issues, and troubleshooting system performance problems. Robin is designed to take full ownership of support incidents, investigating the problem, applying approved fixes, confirming resolution, and closing the ticket.
