We performed a comparison between Blue Prism and OpenText Robotic Process Automation based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out what your peers are saying about UiPath, Microsoft, Automation Anywhere and others in Robotic Process Automation (RPA)."For one, it's easy to set up, and once it gets running it can handle multiple processes in an efficient manner. It's a very robust system."
"I find Blue Prism's debugging functionality to be quite useful."
"The most valuable feature is the design studio and its ease of use."
"It is not just for coders, as you can have a diagrammatic representation of the process."
"It works very well for batch processing at the backend. Scalability-wise, it is very robust. It is also stable."
"Access to the SQL database allows for extra capabilities."
"The solution has cross-application features where it can be setup with SAP, email, or SharePoint."
"We've automated web applications in the banking domain using Blue Prism. This involved automating long and complex banking processes. Every action we automate with the tool generates an audit log, which is safe within the LogRhythm environment. I do find the Decipher feature very useful when it comes to document automation."
"It lets us automate almost anything, even with the legacy tools. It is very easy for us now to automate with legacy tools, which used to be difficult earlier. We work with a lot of other automation tools from Micro Focus, such as Operation Orchestration, but these tools can only connect to the API. So, there was a gap when we wanted to automate older and legacy tools that didn't have any API to connect to. We can now also automate without any changes in the customer environment. We don't need to change anything in the way that the customer environment works."
"The initial setup and deployment could be simplified."
"The solution can be improved by switching off data DB and including a report section."
"Emerging technologies adoption is a challenge for every organization, especially the products which address productivity/automation."
"Everyone uses Workday and Salesforce and all that stuff. If they had specific plugins to interact with these enterprise tools, that would be very helpful."
"Blue Prism is lagging in terms of artificial intelligence. There is no artificial intelligence in version 4 or 5, which most people are still using as far as I'm aware. To be fair, they do have AI in version 6. Still, it's lagging terribly. Blue Prism is the inventor of the name of the term "RPA," and it's disappointing to see they are sitting around... Cognitive learning, for example, where it can actually follow your movements on the screen, is not there in Blue Prism."
"The activities that we do are a bit difficult to do in Blue Prism as compared to UiPath. UiPath provides create activities and create packages related to AI analytical skills. This is something that Blue Prism doesn't have."
"Navigation within the UI could be improved."
"The reporting system, specifically the system admin reporting could be improved."
"It currently supports only on-premises deployments. They can include support for cloud deployments. It should provide us the ability to choose a robot for executing a workflow. We want to control which robot executes a certain workflow. Right now, it automatically chooses the robot that is going to execute our workflow. It should also provide the ability to get filters on the outputs of the steps. We have each workflow as a step, and each step has some output. We would like to have the functionality to execute some script or some logic on these outputs to format the tests directly on the variables."
