We performed a comparison between Automation Anywhere (AA) and Blue Prism based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two Robotic Process Automation (RPA) solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI.
"Implementation of Automation Anywhere (AA) allows us to automate business processes and has brought productivity gains, error reduction, and speed of execution in multiple HR and Finance operations."
"The most valuable feature is the SAP application and the DLLs that Automation Anywhere provides. These DLLs help automate the SAP application."
"RPA platform with a good accuracy rate, variable management, and OCR feature. It has a straightforward setup."
"The most valuable feature is the power of AI Technologies involved in Automation Anywhere's IQBot - such as Natural Language Processing, Computer Vision, Fuzzy Logic, and Machine Learning."
"Automation Anywhere is stable, scalable, and easy to use."
"This RPA software has good scalability and stability, is easy to understand and easy to use, even for users who have no experience with automation software."
"The code, once developed, is pretty stable."
"There are quite a few very strong features available to users."
"I like the solution’s simplicity in process and objects. The solution has very clear guidelines and demarcation on processes and objects which is not present in other tools. The tool’s architecture is also very simple and clear. The product’s licensing model is also very simple. Other tools do not have such a simple licensing model."
"We find the stability and the ease of reusing code design valuable."
"The technical support is very good."
"The automation on offer is great."
"The performance is very good and it is a valuable feature."
"It is a very stable tool that allows very complex automations."
"Blue Prism currently supports SQL Servers and structured data."
"Although the solution may look complicated it actually has a lot of features and user space to work out of."
"The error handling command on this solution still needs improvement, especially when compared to other platforms that are doing very well."
"The data migration could be better."
"Automation Anywhere can improve by implementing a Citrix environment and increasing the stability of tools, such as IQ bot."
"The analytical dashboard in the Control Room could use some improvement."
"Scaling from small to medium automation works well, but if building out very big applications, sometimes the code can be too lengthy and uncontrollable."
"The solution should have a more robust forum to help users navigate the solution, learn about it, and get help when they need it."
"Setup and deployment of this product could be difficult for those without experience. These processes should be made easier."
"The product's technical support could use improvement."
"My clients report that there is a little bit of a challenge regarding the cost-benefit ratio."
"They should incorporate more functionalities in the analytics tool."
"From a monitoring perspective, the way the screens are set up, or the reporting within Blue Prism, is not really user-friendly. You need a technical person to basically put that up. It's not necessarily easily viewable."
"In Nigeria, I don't know what their marketing is like. However, they're losing market shares to other solutions. Most customers know UiPath more than Blue Prism."
"The solution could be more user-friendly. I would like the see the inclusion of a recording feature as in Microsoft, SAP, and other legacy systems. Users can play the recording and use it for future use cases. The recording can help with the automation and configuration. I would rate the tool’s interface a seven out of ten. It needs to improve."
"The deployment of the bots should be much faster and more intuitive."
"The control room is still the desktop version, which restricts access. You can't really access it from anywhere."
"The solution can be improved by switching off data DB and including a report section."

We monitor all Robotic Process Automation (RPA) reviews to prevent fraudulent reviews and keep review quality high. We do not post reviews by company employees or direct competitors. We validate each review for authenticity via cross-reference with LinkedIn, and personal follow-up with the reviewer when necessary.
For any RPA tool it required have a generic /universal governance model where
1. sponsor or Head of RPA implementation
2. Business analysts
3.Architects(solution/technical)
4.Developers ( Full stack - Build, Test and SIT)
5.Scrum master or Sprints head or Project manager
6. QA ( Test automation) - optional
Above generic governance model/structure roles for handling any kind of RPA process.
One proven way to implement centralized automation management is via a CoE. The best practices of Robotic Process Automation states that the use of bots doesn’t increase negative risks for the organization in the development of reusable solutions. The responsibilities of a Centre of Excellence will depend on the exact governance model used. The most common activities include the following:
Business Continuity Requirements:
To have backup or disaster recovery machines for the critical RPA processes with load balancing using central orchestration in different clusters.
For any of the RPA there is orchestration tool which handles all the initiation and processing from one location have it maintained well from risks and disasters with load balancing.
This will helps in business continuity.
