SS&C Blue Prism can be improved as it has no free trial software, which meant I could not learn it in my spare time. Also, the software looks like Windows 98 compared to other sleeker and newer software such as UiPath. If you have not been strict with yourself in learning and laying out your process flow, it can get very messy very quickly. Regarding needed improvements, the training is seamless, and the customer support has been there to support me. The integration with other tools is not as seamless as it could be. The reporting and user interface are very user-friendly, and I have no problem with those aspects.
SS&C Blue Prism can be improved because it has no trial software, which meant I could not learn it in my spare time without a PG-2 approved and paid license. This delayed my learning and led me to pursue UiPath instead, which has a community free edition that is very powerful. Additional needed improvements for SS&C Blue Prism include that if you have not been strict with yourself in planning and laying out your process flow, it can get very messy very quickly. More forethought is needed to create a workflow compared to competitors.
It requires extensive knowledge if somebody wants to work on SS&C Blue Prism, compared to other tools. The downside is you need to be very aware of the tool. You need to know how to write the workflow and have a detailed understanding of SS&C Blue Prism. It takes more time to learn compared to other tools in the market which are more user-friendly.
There is a need for improved integration with external systems in SS&C. Currently, integration is limited to web services and K scripts for connecting to third-party systems, which I believe can be expanded.
I noticed that it lacks the ability to automatically record the process steps like some of its competitors. Having this capability could accelerate the process. The delivery methodology felt somewhat waterfall in style and not sufficiently agile. Additionally, the licensing model was somewhat prohibitive. It was not developed in a consumption-based manner, however, rather in a fixed-price licensing model that did not account for volumes.
Blue Prism is more costly than UiPath in terms of robotic licenses and orchestrators. Blue Prism initially had more security features, differentiating Bluetooth services from UiPath. I am not sure if this difference still exists, but it was stated to be more secure when I began working.
