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."The product itself is quite mature."
"Blue Prism Cloud is a stable solution."
"The technical support team of Blue Prism Cloud is very good...I rate the support a ten out of ten."
"It is more secure for complex implementations."
"We can save on staff costs by automating processes."
"It's easy to use, the interface, the the the the queries is which we use. It's user friendly."
"The most valuable feature of Blue Prism's Virtual Workforce is that it is quite stable."
"There is no latency in the product."
"The ability to connect to websites and pull data is the solution's most valuable feature."
"The pricing is excellent. I would give them perfect marks in that regard."
"Fortra's Automate performs the job effectively and has the capability to alert us of any issues."
"It's very easy to use. That's a big selling point for it. It has got a drag-and-drop interface, so you can quickly deploy bots."
"We have found the pricing to be very reasonable."
"The interface is simple, user-friendly, and very intuitive."
"The licensing of the product is very good. You only need to license it once and then you have it forever."
"The most valuable feature is the drag-and-drop interface, which is very Windows-like."
"It takes a while to get up and running."
"The issue is that it is not dynamic or intelligent."
"There are a few smart services that are not available in Blue Prism. For example, Excel sheets that are converted into a CS sheet have limitations with the number of columns when imported. This could be improved."
"The pricing of the solution could be improved. It's a bit expensive right now. They should work to make it more competitive."
"Blue Prism should adopt a low-code approach. Most RPA vendors only provide what they call a "form builder." A low-code designer would enable us to build a custom UI."
"The cost is a bit high. Other tools are much cheaper."
"I wouldn't call Blue Prism user-friendly. It's one of its downfalls. They would benefit from having drag and drop functionality, for example. It would make them a strong competitor in the space. There needs to be less reliance on coding for customization, similar to Microsoft's Power Automate."
"Improvement should be per customer requirements."
"While this solution is continually improving, as it is now, the user interface could use improvement when I compare it to a product like UiPath."
"I would like to see some better web automation, a wizard like the one in the product WinAutomation would be very nice."
"The documentation is not that great."
"There is room for improvement regarding cloud functionality; there are a few missing features, and the logging could be better, especially air logging. We can go into logging events and create our own task, but it would be nice if this were more detailed."
"Error messages should be better. For error status, there should be better documentation because a lot of times, error messages that you get are quite vague. For example, you get a message saying that the workflow has run into an unknown status, which is vague. It just tells you that it failed, but you don't know how or why it failed. It makes debugging difficult."
"It's possible that they could use a stronger community for seeking guidance and help."
"It would be an improvement if Automate had better stability tools, whether by recommending a certain amount of memory because it can be a memory hog at times."
"Some companies have asked for voice integration. This is likely part of the roadmap."
