Automation has saved thousands of hours by processing bulk data and managing emails efficiently
The best features SS&C Blue Prism offers include powerful automation, easy-to-use process flow, and excellent integration capabilities. Data manipulation and handling is very easy and user-friendly. It is very secure, especially in handling sensitive data such as credentials. One of my favorite features of SS&C Blue Prism that stands out is its seamless integration with various systems. This includes features such as load balancing, encryption, audit, and spying modes. The capability proves to be a significant advantage when automating tasks across different applications and platforms, which saves a lot of time. The email handling feature is spot-on, and we are able to automate these tasks easily, saving a lot of time. SS&C Blue Prism has positively impacted my organization as it can easily handle a large amount of data, being very scalable. It also saves time through automation of email. It saved a considerable amount of time, more than 5,000 hours of manual work so far. It saved a considerable amount of money as well. The costing metrics will improve largely. It also requires very little coding. Instead of hiring new people trained in a specific tool, we were able to manage this with the existing workforce with a few weekend classes.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"This is the best BPM tool that I have ever worked with."
"We had used other products before Aris Cloud and we have chosen to go for the ARIS system, and we are quite happy because it's very easy to collaborate with and very user-friendly, intuitive for the end-users to use the tool, so we are happy and it's perfectly answering our needs."
"With ARIS Cloud, we identified our goals, business processes and we turned them into a digital strategy."
"In the end, what stands out to me is the ease of using the cloud. I don't see any distinct or unique advantages in business process modeling software compared to other application software. The cloud simplifies operations and removes many operational complexities, which is a significant benefit."
"ARIS has proved that it works also in complex circumstances."
"The most valuable feature is GUI; it is very intuitive and easy to use."
"The initial setup of this solution was straightforward."
"The solution's most valuable feature stems from its being very easy to use, making it a very user-friendly tool."
"We have converted manual processes into RPA processes, leading to significant time, money, and quality savings."
"I find the design studio, where I can build the automation, and the control room feature, which allows me to run and monitor the automation, to be the most useful."
"Some important features include the language capabilities, which are crucial since RPA has to read the documents provided by the customer."
"The key feature of SS&C that I find valuable is the general workflow visibility."
 

Cons

"It seems that there could be innovations in fostering spontaneous cooperation between departments and individuals. This extends to case management and finding new paradigms for enhancing such cooperation. While some approaches, like basic case management tools, have been tried in the past, they may not have met expectations entirely. However, ongoing efforts in administrative science are focused on these areas. Companies with innovative ideas can contribute to progress, possibly involving concepts related to trust, even within the context of web 3. There are intriguing developments in how economic and business organizations can be formed. When it comes to learning about these concepts, starting with simple examples and gradually moving to more complex ones is advisable. Begin with the basics, excluding unnecessary details that might hinder understanding. Over time, you can delve into more intricate aspects, such as Bitcoin and the Lightning Network, to gain a deeper understanding of these technologies."
"There is room for improvement in the support."
"I was surprised when my license was deactivated and I could not access my data."
"I would like to see more support for architectural diagrams."
"The stability was poor due to frequent outages."
"The price of ARIS Cloud is relatively high and not every firm can afford it, especially if the company is not mature enough to require such extensive process modeling and optimization."
"The price is quite high. This is one weak point of the solution."
"On an enterprise level, the ability to onboard somebody quickly is cumbersome because it just has too many things in it. It's got something like a hundred or more techniques and things in it."
"Blue Prism is more costly than UiPath in terms of robotic licenses and orchestrators."
"I noticed that it lacks the ability to automatically record the process steps like some of its competitors."
"Regarding improvements, I perceive that the Desktop automation needs enhancements, especially in input stages for dropdown options."
"There is a need for improved integration with external systems in SS&C."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The licensing model of ARIS Cloud is leaner and more beneficial to the customer. The new license model is great. With the on-premise, you needed to subscribe to many more types of licenses. Now there are licensed bundles available on the cloud."
"The cloud deployment is not more expensive. In the cloud, you pay for what you use, and there's no need for maintaining infrastructure or additional personnel, making it cost-effective. On-premises deployment, on the other hand, involves infrastructure costs and maintenance expenses."
"There is a student version of this solution that can be used for free."
