Nadeem K. - PeerSpot reviewer
Rpa Developer at a consultancy with 11-50 employees
Automation has freed teams from repetitive finance and supply tasks and supports global operations
In the current organization, we had trouble initially because I think the documentation and support could be better than what it is now. This is one difference between Automation Anywhere and other RPA tools such as UiPath. In UiPath, if you have an issue, you go to the UiPath website and search for it, and you get lots of help materials. In Automation Anywhere, you do not get exactly what you are looking for. You get a very large number of results when you search for something, and from this large result set, you have to filter out what you need, or only partial information will be available. User handbooks are available for each product. In that regard, I would say Automation Anywhere is lagging compared to other RPA tools. It is difficult to get hold of their customer support team. I want to clarify that it is not a matter of us building logic on Automation Anywhere and it failing. When it is a product-related issue, they have to give us support because we only know how to develop within Automation Anywhere. We do not know how to fix Automation Anywhere itself. Whenever we have an issue, trying to get in touch with them always takes three to four business days.

Automation has delivered secure banking workflows and handles complex client applications efficiently
If we are talking about how Blue Prism has impacted the accuracy and speed of data processing in my tasks compared to UiPath, it is better than UiPath. There is no doubt about it. I will definitely recommend Blue Prism to other users and companies because, as I mentioned, when comparing UiPath and Blue Prism, I find that UiPath offers multiple online training opportunities. Compared to Blue Prism, I see that all the training materials, small videos, and diplomas are more readily available in UiPath, but I do not think everything is as accessible in Blue Prism. My overall rating for Blue Prism is ten out of ten because I worked almost five years in Blue Prism and my experience has been good.
Venkat Sivaprakash - PeerSpot reviewer
Management Consultant at Accenture
Has significantly improved efficiency in finance and operations while reducing turnaround time and defects
The most valuable features include process task mining where UiPath Automation Ops records tasks performed on the computer and generates output in the form of a process map and procedural document. It captures all clicks made, making documentation easier. Additional features include image processing, PDF file processing, Excel file input processing, data calculations, and cross-application data movement. Automation Cloud is a comprehensive solution, while UiPath Automation Ops handles governance, coding standards, and user access management. Automation Ops is primarily used by developers and support teams, whereas Automation Cloud is used for implementation and development.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The application replaced about three employees for the OFAC verification processes, thus eliminating the need to hire more people for those tasks."
"AA has vastly improved my organization in gathering more business, reducing human efforts, and optimizing client business."
"We did not encounter any stability issues with Automation Anywhere during the time I worked with the solution."
"The graphical user interface (GUI) is very useful, since I don't know any coding languages."
"Document automation has impacted efficiency and productivity because initially, we tried training the module on multiple unstructured documents, which resulted in less efficiency, but over time, we have trained with multiple documents, and it is now achieving great accuracy."
"The return on investment we see from Automation Anywhere is significant; particularly, the FTE savings represent a big return."
"It helped agents process tickets with minimal errors and improved average handling time as they are able to close the tickets faster."
"By implementing processes using Automation Anywhere, we can save up to 3,000 euros within two weeks of development."
"The tool is very technically sound."
"Blue Prism MAPIEx and the Java Bridge are really great features provided for automating Java-based applications and for allowing mail to send and receive smoothly."
"I think Blue Prism is a wonderful product."
"Blue Prism currently supports SQL Servers and structured data."
"As a developer, I liked the layout and UI, specifically referring to testing. I was able to watch the process through stages."
"The most valuable feature is the ability to do surface automation, allowing interaction with legacy systems where terminal emulation is still in use."
"One of the most powerful features in Blue Prism is exception handling. It's one of the features that really differentiates it from other platforms."
"Blue Prism provides both on-premises and cloud versions."
"The solution offers benefits including defect reduction, improved lead time, reduced turnaround time, decreased average handle time, increased productivity, full-time employee releases, bottom-line cost savings, and enhanced customer experience."
 

Cons

"For future prospects, this tool should 80 percent deal with neural networks, deep learning, and artificial intelligence and that has to be integrated a lot. As these are future skills, these integrations will help us take the tool to take to the next level."
"We would like to see more capability for integration and more customization available with some features."
"They have done a fairly good job on the RPA space, but more and more, the whole cognitive AI space and machine learning are where I see the industry actually going. I'm sure Automation Anywhere is also focused on that topic, but we would like to see more coming down the pipe, as early as possible."
"I would like more integration with Microsoft Excel. More screenshots that can be integrated with Excel would help our customers too."
"One thing with the bot that we are always struggling with is the memory management."
"We face issues with Excel file creation. I’m trying to create a file in Excel .xls, it is getting corrupted."
"IQ Bot is useful but the price is not friendly."
"More structured and unstructured data collection will be a challenge. While we have the IQ Bot tool, the success rate at the beginning will be lower. It will be around 20 to 30 percent at the start because you need to train the bot at regular intervals. Of course, this depends on the data. This area could use be improvement."
"Our primary challenge at present is that we are finding it difficult to get additional business insights into existing processes so that we can identify where we need to improve."
"The domain in regards to cognitive abilities and the use of processing activity needs improvement."
"If you are looking into processing invoices then Blue Prism is not the tool that I would choose because the others have better OCR capabilities."
"They can add a reporting feature."
"The domain in regards to cognitive abilities and the use of processing activity needs improvement. They have added this capability, but that's not really big in the public. It is more also available for gold partners. So they should improve the user activity for the public or even the regular customer."
"This solution is lacking attended automation, which is the worst thing about this solution."
"We see some security issues in Blue Prism. The German vendor Servicetrace is better at this point."
"There are a couple of challenges in Blue Prism's latest version."
"Bot task loading needs improvement, though I cannot provide detailed information about this aspect."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The cloud-based version comes at an increased cost, although our clients are happy with the new features and have not complained about the pricing."
"Automation Anywhere is costlier than the general competition. That is aligned with the share of the market it has."
"We have seen the tangible benefits of taking monotonous work off people's plates, creating capacity, and cost reductions."
"We have seen a return of investment because it takes less time to market in our current process. I would estimate a times savings between 20 to 30 percent."
"The pricing is reasonable and one can achieve ROI faster when compared to other tools."
"The pricing strategy for us is one license for development. It is more complicated than that depending on the options you choose."
"It's the best RPA tool, but the pricing could be improved."
"They are already coming out with a community license, which is really good. That's something that I wish to have."
"Our customers pay for an annual license."
"Blue Prism is pretty steep compared to the others, much more than Automation Anywhere."
"We have a three-year contract that is paid on a yearly basis."
"There is a one-time purchase fee for this solution."
"Blue Prism has a really simple licensing model, where the licenses are not confusing and there are no hidden costs the way there are in UiPath."
"Blue Prism is less expensive than some of the other RPA solutions."
"Blue Prism is quite costly."
"Blue Prism is a bit higher priced compared to other payment-related or investment-related solutions. At the same time, it also provides more security than those solutions, specifically for the banking and insurance sectors."
