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.

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.

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 have seen AA bringing immense value to the clients once operational."

"Automation Anywhere has surely helped our organization to shape its Digital Journey - It was our first RPA tool which helped us to perform basic automation which created Point solutions but has added tremendous value at the early stage. We were able to scale-up fast using Automation Anywhere due to its user-friendly AI and later on IQ Bots provided the required edge to handle the unstructured data."

"Our organization used to have a process which took five business days to do: our monthly pricing update. This was a very manual process. Our very first bot built was to automate this process. Now, the bot runs in the background every month and the process takes less than a day to run."

"Anywhere contributed to increased efficiency, reduced manual efforts, and notable time savings across various processes."

"We saved approximately 10,000 hours of work for ourselves, and there are a couple of projects that we have worked on where we could have saved approximately 4000 hours on just one project that we built in two to three weeks."

"I have been using Automation Anywhere for the past five years and it is one of the best tools to automate manual tasks."

"In my day-to-day applications, I can integrate Automation Copilot easily as I can embed it within Workday, BambooHR, and Salesforce, allowing business users easy access to Automation Anywhere without logging into multiple applications, thus saving 85 to 90% of the time."

"The solution's most valuable feature is its ease of use."

More Automation Anywhere pros

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

"There is no latency in the product."

"The most valuable feature is the speed at which we are able to implement solutions that can interact through the user interface in the same way that a human being would."

"The product itself is quite mature."

"Blue Prism offers a better solution."

"The reusability of the solution is excellent. It's a superior feature - far superior to any other tool on the market."

"The solution works well overall."

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

More Blue Prism Cloud pros

"The price is good."

"I like the fact that it's very fast. The processing speed is good, and that's what matters to me. I also like that we don't have to bother with the infrastructure setup. We don't have to care about the status of the data set, as I believe the local group will provide it. We don't care about the licensing model. We only have to care about how long we are using it."

"The solution is based on Python which makes it very valuable."

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

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

"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."

More Robocorp pros

Cons

"I could personally use automated testing, which we currently do not have in Automation Anywhere."

"Having fewer connection instances would make it more secure, more simple to troubleshoot, and possibly more flexible with the type of applications in use."

"There are a lot of things that need to be improved, especially related to the Control Room, but you can develop and scale with this tool very, very fast."

"Automation Anywhere should improve its OCR capabilities."

"It takes a lot of time to deploy, and sometimes it fails after a timeout."

"What we currently have with Fortress IQ needs to mature more, and I say this since people spend weeks creating PDDs documentation."

"A standardized improvement area for any RPA tool is making it more user-friendly. This can be done by allowing users to give instructions in their language. For example, one should be able to say in his or her language to automate the login page of the XYZ application. It should be able to create a flow based on the information or screenshots that the user provides."

"The older versions, like version 8 and 9, were not very stable."

More Automation Anywhere cons

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

"Blue Prism Cloud needs to improve support, though documentation is available online. It is not detailed, which does not help."

"Several things need improvement, like ease-of-use, adding tended robots, adding process recording, and updating the look and feel so it seems modern."

"If Blue Prism could integrate into Azure SQL because it's essentially an on-prem code, on infrastructure as a service. So, Blue Prism has moved the infrastructure into the cloud, but they haven't necessarily moved the application into cloud-native."

"The vendor does not make their pricing clear when you are searching for it, which is something that needs to be improved."

"It takes a while to get up and running."

"I think some of the issues we have experienced have been more painful because of the support."

"They should work on the solution's pricing."

More Blue Prism Cloud cons

"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."

"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."

"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."

"The platform's documentation could be better."

"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."

"The solution could be more stable."

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

"The standard libraries in Robocorp should be more advanced."

More Robocorp cons

Pricing and Cost Advice

"It is somewhere in the middle. The price and value of Automation Anywhere are better than UiPath. The pricing is good globally. It could be a little bit cheaper, but it is good."

"In the Indian market, I feel that for mid-size companies, such as ourselves, that having multiple bots costs a lot. If Automation Anywhere wants to expand in the Indian market, they will need to look at their pricing."

"Its usage is expensive for us because my user base is mostly in Manila and KL. The unit cost of labor is cheaper there than in the U.S. or Australia, which puts a bit more stress on how to get a positive ROI while continuing to use it."

"We are not receiving the right information about their features, e.g. Automation Anywhere University, or anything that they are selling. They need to improve their documentation."

"They all are very competitive today. At the end of the day, it boils down to the negotiations that happen and what type of partner you are."

"The price of this product is good."

"Time and monetary savings can range from 20 to 90 percent."

"Pricing is a bit high when compared to other available tools; however, the tool is worth the cost."

More Automation Anywhere pricing and cost advice

"The pricing is fine."

"When compared with UiPath, I believe it will be difficult for Blue Prism to maintain its market share."

"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."

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

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

"We found the pricing reasonable, and it aligned with our budgetary requirements."

"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."

"The default configuration does not include large-scale log injection, but if you require, such integration, it may incur additional costs per gigabyte. I don't have the exact pricing information for log injection, but it is possible that it varies depending on the volume of data. While there may be a basic service included, additional features might come at an extra cost. When working with cloud environments like VMs, calculating costs involves considering factors such as usage duration, network traffic, inbound and outbound data transfer, as well as network access control. The pricing structure for cloud coverage solutions follows a similar pattern, although specific pricing details would need to be obtained separately."

More Blue Prism Cloud pricing and cost advice

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

"The product has good pricing."

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

"The pricing is fine."

"The solution is a very affordable price."

"It's a cost-effective solution."
