Cons
"I would like to see the vendor improve the efficiency of Blue Prism interaction with applications.""The assisted automation functionality needs improvement.""I would like to see machine learning functionality integrated with the automation.""Blue Prism can improve a lot. The interaction with Google Chrome can be massively improved. I know in the next version there are slight improvements. We don't know how much, but we are comparing them. At this moment, Google Chrome is a massive issue within the toolset, due to the way Google Chrome receives updates regularly but Blue Prism is unable to cope. The spy method of Google Chrome is not as user-friendly as Internet Explorer is. However, Internet Explorer is being discontinued from their support, therefore it's not the best browser to be using. This has caused us major issues in the last six months.""The reporting system, specifically the system admin reporting could be improved.""We had a lot of challenges managing authentication and reusing or using external authentication providers.""All of the processes that we've automated have been completed successfully, and the bots are able to process them as expected.""The solution could be more user-friendly. I would like the see the inclusion of a recording feature as in Microsoft, SAP, and other legacy systems. Users can play the recording and use it for future use cases. The recording can help with the automation and configuration. I would rate the tool’s interface a seven out of ten. It needs to improve."

"Nintex RPA is not suitable for PDF automation.""There could be some features to fix compatibility issues with firmware.""Further simplifying the low-code development process can attract a broader user base by making automation accessible to those with minimal technical skills."
