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.

Management Consultant at Accenture

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.

Senior Lead Developer at a tech services company with 201-500 employees

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

"We've shifted platforms a couple of times, and Automation Anywhere is the one that stuck based on end-user experience, the ease of development, and trainability with the tool."

"We automated these processes so they will be processed automatically, and users will get the end result for validation—it is basically time-saving for them."

"Automation Anywhere has evolved significantly and upgraded itself to provide agentic AI and AI-based automation solutions for document automation, with modern features to train documents ensuring high accuracy and repeatability over time."

"The document management processes that IQ Bot gives has very good functionality of how you can actually take unstructured data and make sense out of it, connecting inferences, then making the data available to the user. So, IQ Bot is one of the best tools that I can think of in that aspect. This solves the problem of various document structures, document formats, etc."

"There is one user registration process in one application where there is no API which has been published by that framework. This is a very proprietary in one application by a third-party. So, there was a help desk, and whenever a call went to the help desk, they had a front-end where they created these user registrations. Now, this is completely automated for all employees who are onboarded. We receive the data, it is put it into Excel, and from Excel, it will update it into the particular tool where the registration happens."

"One thing that I want to highlight AA for is their security standards."

"The product has everything that I want; I don't have to look for another tool to integrate with it."

"Be it a Windows application, a web application, or a legacy tool, Automation Anywhere is able to achieve automation on these technologies seamlessly."

More Automation Anywhere pros

"There is no latency in the product."

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

"The platform is user-friendly and easy to learn in a low-code environment."

"Last year that Blue Prism introduced a community version, and have really opened up their services."

"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."

"Blue Prism offers the whole package for LPR developers; it's a useful tool to automate anything, and as an LPR developer, I think the most important feature is that it lets you get anything into blocks of code that you can use anywhere."

"The user-friendly interface of Blue Prism Cloud has significantly aided my team's ability to design automated processes, allowing them to create agents and deploy them without needing extensive coding knowledge."

"What I like best about Blue Prism Cloud is that it's secure, robust, and has 24 x 7 support available. I also find the solution quick and intelligent. Even a non-coder can easily use it."

More Blue Prism Cloud pros

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

"Robocorp is based on Python, so you can use Python scripts and create libraries for your use cases. Building libraries and custom scripts for a particular client and general use cases is easy. We can reuse those scripts for other clients, so we start seeing benefits quickly."

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

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

"I have worked with UiPath and Automation Anywhere previously. Robocorp offers an improved development style and support as well as flexibility of its tools. You can easily develop custom libraries in Robocorp."

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

"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."

"The product has a valuable business process automation feature."

More Robocorp pros

Cons

"They need to improve the OCR engine which is not up to the market."

"There's potential for Automation Anywhere to integrate conversational types of tools and AI into their tool set, which would be really valuable."

"I would like to have a bot as a service platform on AA Cloud. This would minimize the installation process, and we wouldn't need to have all the hardware to support the platform in-house."

"The human training area is still something that needs to be improved. It's not so much the actual technology learning, but rather how you bring this to life with all the peripheral competencies that are needed for it."

"IQ Bot requires a significant improvement for its data detection and data retention, mainly from the previously trained documents: regarding the document's format, layout, data contained within the document, the type of data that needs to be extracted."

"Reliability and error handling should be improved."

"The price has room for improvement."

"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

"Blue Prism Cloud's pricing needs to be improved because it is a little bit more costly than other automation tools like UIPath."

"They should improve the user-friendliness and they should change their business model."

"There is room for improvement in the speed."

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

"It would be useful if some of the information protocols came built within the app instead having to create them."

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

"The cost is a bit high. Other tools are much cheaper."

"I believe they need to become more competitive within the market in order to maintain their market share. We were essentially a Blue Prism shop and sold Blue Prism, but because of the price point, many clients are now looking at competitors."

More Blue Prism Cloud cons

"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."

"It would be better if it were more user-friendly for non-technical users. It would be better if they had some drag-and-drop features to create logic."

"The platform's documentation could be better."

"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."

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

"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."

"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."

"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."

More Robocorp cons

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Cost-wise, it is fine. A lot of medium businesses prefer Automation Anywhere. The development cost is also lower."

"We paid separately for the Runner and Creater components. The final cost depends on the structure of your environment."

"On a yearly basis, our licensing costs are about $80,000. There are no additional costs beyond the standard licensing fees."

"They have a ridiculously expensive bot licensing structure, especially for the Asian region."

"My only suggestion in terms of pricing is very generic and that is to consider that as much as RPA saves cost and does automation, please get a realistic estimation done on whether you are really achieving any ROI over your investment with RPA."

"Automation Anywhere offers a subscription-based licensing model for cloud, on-premises, and hybrid deployments."

"We're just starting to renew our license, and we were quoted $115,000 without the IQ Bot. The IQ Bot is another $30,000. This is with very limited pages, as we go through our first projects. The majority of the cost was for ten days of onsite training."

"Price is where I'm least satisfied. Other vendors are more willing to offer discounts."

More Automation Anywhere pricing and cost advice

"We pay about $15,000 per quarter in licensing costs. We don't have to pay for any other extra costs. There isn't, for example, an extra cost for technical support. We just pay the licensing."

"Blue Prism Cloud's cost is very high."

"The licensing structure is complex and the minimum contract length is three years."

"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."

"Blue Prism Cloud’s pricing is fine for commercial usage."

"Blue Prism comes at a higher price point compared to other solutions on the market."

"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."

"Though I don't have many details, I think Blue Prism Cloud is an expensive product compared to the other tools in the market since you need to pay for resources like machines."

More Blue Prism Cloud pricing and cost advice

"The solution is a very affordable price."

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

"The pricing is fine."

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

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

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

"The product has good pricing."

"It's a cost-effective solution."
