Executive SummaryUpdated on Dec 4, 2024

Blue Prism Cloud and Robocorp compete in the robotic process automation (RPA) category. Robocorp has the upper hand with its flexible Python-based approach, which aids AI integration and cost-efficiency.

Features: Blue Prism Cloud is noted for its stability, security, and rapid deployment capabilities, with minimal coding requirements making it accessible for non-technical users. It integrates well with major cloud platforms and industry-specific compliance templates. Robocorp's flexibility through Python enables easy AI and data science integration and includes strong debugging features. Its cost-effective model with a community edition and pay-as-you-use allows accessibility for varying needs.

Room for Improvement: Blue Prism Cloud struggles with ease-of-use issues and complex pricing models, proving challenging for smaller enterprises. Enhancements in AI and OCR features are necessary. Robocorp faces deployment complexity, limited standard libraries, and a reliance on Python for customization. Improvements in user interface, documentation, and storage efficiency are necessary.

Ease of Deployment and Customer Service: Blue Prism Cloud offers hybrid and public cloud deployment but lacks product flexibility.

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.

Automation and AI integration enhance performance and user experience

The improvements or enhancements I would like to see in Blue Prism Cloud revolve around further developing server-client architecture, focusing on centralized control for remote agents. I believe more capabilities in that area could be beneficial. At the moment, I don't recall any specific features or functionalities missing from Blue Prism Cloud that come to mind. In terms of complexity, I find that Blue Prism Cloud is somewhat straightforward to use. Flexibility-wise, it engages well with Microsoft-based technologies. However, there are challenges with OCR capabilities that remain an issue. While there are readily available features that work well, the effectiveness does depend significantly on the type of use case I am implementing.

It's easy to create Python libraries and custom scripts for a particular client and general use cases

We've had conversations with the head of Robocorp over Slack about things we want to improve. We want to introduce some packages, but the authentication tokens and many other things are not there. We can do it in Python, but the custom packages are unavailable. We would also like an integrated PDF reader and better integration with custom solutions. The built-in Excel customization is limited, but we can still accomplish what we want using Python. We must rely on Python to customize processes in Robocorp. I don't know about the latest IDE from Robocorp, but the old one doesn't have a lot of activities. I don't know if they have updated the UI in the latest version, but they could improve that. The UI selector isn't that great. It would be nice to take elements from the console and customize parts. Everything is based on command lines, which I do not like. A flow chart with block items would be good for optimizing code. I would also like more support tools for developers so it's easier to understand when passing code to others.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"Automation Anywhere's error handling is its most valuable feature. It sends you an email when there's an error and helps you find the cause quickly. It walks you through exactly how you should handle it."

"The tool feature I found the most valuable is Metabot, as we can include the DLLs that are proprietary written code in .NET or other technologies."

"The management works well."

"Automation Anywhere is stable."

"Since implementing the solution, the tasks are taking place in a seamless manner. As long as the process is not changed, there is the ease of replicability. Repeatable tasks constantly get done without any challenges."

"The platform is easy to use, especially for business users."

"Automation Anywhere has improved my organization by automating many rule-based and nonjudgmental processes in domains like telecommunications, human resources, financial services, and daily or monthly reporting."

"One of the benefits my organization has seen from these features is productivity in two ways: I am able to save a lot of time because of the automation, I do not need manual intervention anymore as manual intervention has been cut down by ten to fifteen percent, and the productivity gains have been substantial."

More Automation Anywhere pros

"Blue Prism Cloud is a stable solution."

"Blue Prism Cloud offers a lot of security in terms of data."

"This is a very stable solution and it does not require too much knowledge on programming because it has a bunch of native features that work consistently."

"The solution works well overall."

"If I look at the top four, I believe it is far more user-friendly than the other competition."

"I would say that the most valuable feature in Blue Prism's Virtual Workforce is that it is quite stable and this is imperative to the industry we serve."

"It's a very sound tool with a good reputation for having a good security model, which is important to a lot of companies and it's got more of an object-oriented design flavor to it."

"This solution is pretty stable, and some of our clients have automated complex processes and it works well."

More Blue Prism Cloud pros

"Time complexity is reduced and the execution speed is much higher."

"I can use it as a library by importing Python scripts, allowing me to access its many features while working with coding."

"As a developer, I found it easy to integrate third-party applications with Robocorp. I have previous experience with Selenium, and I found the Robocorp framework to be accessible because it uses Python and Selenium keywords."

"It offers high scalability and enables automation in ways that haven't been possible before."

"The process execution and all features are very good."

"It supports Python runtime because of that, runtime also improves."

"It's easy to deploy bots via the API helper in Control Room. Robocorp's debugging features are also robust. It shows you a lot of data."

"The ability to create separate organizations on this platform makes it easier to bill each of the clients separately."

More Robocorp pros

Cons

"IQ Bot is useful but the price is not friendly."

"We are at an inflection point where we have automated so much that just keeping the lights on certainly takes 20% to 50% of the time, depending on the time of year. Being able to enable the stakeholders is one of my main focuses. If we are automating their process, I want them to continue owning that as much as possible. We are just expanding on the bot insights. From a security perspective, there have been some challenges for us getting our customers in there from a role-level security perspective and making sure that they have full access to the control room and their automation after it is automated."

"The Help menu/description can be provided while hovering over actions so that it can help us better to know them."

"Technical support needs to be much faster."

"When we need to upgrade the bot version for various applications like SAP, the compatibility issues could be easier to resolve. The financial team is using version 5 or 6, but the automation engineer recommends only version 6 because it is more compatible. I think Automation Anywhere could handle these compatibility issues better."

"We have some ERPs tools which are not compatible with Automation Anywhere because they are legacy systems. We find that Automation Anywhere does not work with these at times. Just enabling the usability of Automation Anywhere on some of these legacy ERPs would help us, as we struggle regularly with this issue."

"The support and user community need improvement. For example, it would be nice to have a place for those who create bots to have a place to share information and success stories."

"Queue management is still missing from the latest version which is a barrier to using the platform to start implementing complex cases where you have parent and child transactions going through multiple stages."

More Automation Anywhere cons

"Edge browser extensions could be made slightly more resilient. It would be nice if they could package new libraries for end users rather than have them search for libraries."

"The product could be improved by including advance features like OCR - optical character recognition - which are currently not native to the product."

"Several things need improvement, like ease-of-use, adding tended robots, adding process recording, and updating the look and feel so it seems modern."

"Decipher, one of their solutions, is a waste of time."

"The product’s pricing needs improvement."

"I would like to see a web-based control room, rather than the one that is in-built with the desktop version."

"The solution needs to simplify the user interface. It could be much better and much more appealing."

"I wouldn't call Blue Prism user-friendly. It's one of its downfalls."

More Blue Prism Cloud cons

"I don't like the complexity of deployment."

"We would also like an integrated PDF reader and better integration with custom solutions. The built-in Excel customization is limited, but we can still accomplish what we want using Python. We must rely on Python to customize processes in Robocorp. I don't know about the latest IDE from Robocorp, but the old one doesn't have a lot of activities."

"There are certain libraries in Python, such as those dealing with PDF automation and word files, that require the presence of certain external dependencies in the environment to be successfully used."

"The deployment process is complex and not straightforward, especially for legacy modernization."

"We use the latest version of the process studio and it takes up a lot of CPU storage. In our case, this has been up to 14 GB of storage."

"The standard libraries in Robocorp should be more advanced."

"I preferred the user interface in the older versions. When troubleshooting, it's sometimes hard to find details about where things went wrong. You need to search a little harder. It takes more clicks to get to where you want to go. It can be somewhat confusing. When you run a process that fails, it takes you somewhere you may not expect."

"Robocorp is still in development, so most of the keywords are a bit confusing. I have to alter lots of automation steps between processing and development. However, Selenium is due for an update soon, and Robcorp is addressing some of the limitations caused by the previous Selenium version."

More Robocorp cons

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Its usage is expensive for us because my user base is mostly in Manila and KL. The unit cost of labor is cheaper there than in the U.S. or Australia, which puts a bit more stress on how to get a positive ROI while continuing to use it."

"When you compare the cost of Automation Anywhere with UiPath and Blue Prism, those others are much less. Licensing-wise, UiPath wins the deal."

"It's cheaper than other similar solutions."

"We have saved customers 400% in terms of time saved by implementing this product."

"We save 34,000 hours of time per year and have recouped up to $6000 in lost revenue."

"My understanding is that the license cost of Automation Anywhere is more reasonable than UiPath and Blue Prism."

"Automation Anywhere falls within a mid-range price point when compared to other RPA tools on the market."

"Time and monetary savings can range from 20 to 90 percent."

More Automation Anywhere pricing and cost advice

"The licensing of the solution is on a subscription-based model and costs around 4,999 for one bot's license. If someone wants to increase the number of bots you want from Blue Prism, then they provide a discount."

"Pricing can be negotiated in situations where there will be heavy usage."

"When compared with UiPath, I believe it will be difficult for Blue Prism to maintain its market share."

"The price is very competitive when you are comparing to other providers."

"The pricing for Blue Prism Cloud is two out of ten because it's higher than every other technology. My company is on a three-year Blue Prism Cloud license."

"I would rate the pricing a five out of ten, with one being cheap and ten being expensive."

"There are costs for the machine to run the robots."

"This solution comes at a medium to high price point. They need to work on their pricing to enable smaller enterprises to get the benefit of using the product."

More Blue Prism Cloud pricing and cost advice

"The price is cheaper than other competitors. I would rate the cost as one out of five."

"It's a cost-effective solution."

"In terms of licenses, there is a return on investment in that area."

"The product has good pricing."

"The pricing is fine."

"Robocorp is much better in terms of pricing compared to UiPath."

"You don't have to pay for the license. You have to pay for the time you use it."

"The solution is a very affordable price."
