We performed a comparison between Blue Prism Cloud and BotFarm based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two Robotic Process Automation (RPA) solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."I would say that the stability of Blue Prism is superior to any of the competing products because of the maintainability of the features and the openness of the tool."
"The ease of building automation and the development environment"
"Once it does the monitor, it collects the respective data and creates an output that is required for reconfiguration."
"The tool saves us from repetitive and mundane tasks. We don’t have to write, record or copy data from Excel. The product helps us save time. We save money as well since people doing this task are on various other automation tasks. The chance for repetitive entries is also reduced because the tool helps us make one-time entries."
"The solution is very complete. It's a good solution, for the kind of features that they offer."
"The reusability of the solution is excellent. It's a superior feature - far superior to any other tool on the market."
"The most valuable feature is the customizability."
"The most valuable feature is the ability to write custom code."
"The most valuable feature is the rapid deployment of multiple bots."
"The solution is easy to use and easy to apply."
"The solution seems to offer high stability. We haven't seen any bugs or glitches. It doesn't crash or freeze."
"From a solution standpoint, screen capture and tight integration with Outlook are valuable features."
"The most valuable features I have found to be the screen scraping and the integration with third-party solutions."
"The most valuable features of this solution are the Excel automation and support for SharePoint."
"The entire backend system structure is something that I found really valuable."
"There are not many challenges when setting up this solution, and there is a good amount of documentation to go with it."
"Having more AI functionality would be an improvement."
"Improvement should be per customer requirements."
"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."
"Pricing for Blue Prism Cloud is a pain as it's a little higher."
"The vendor does not make their pricing clear when you are searching for it, which is something that needs to be improved."
"We have limited integrations in place, and my objective is to integrate Sentinel. However, there are constraints as some individuals have only one or two options for SIM integration solutions. Given the urgency of quick resolutions in today's landscape, prevention and detection are crucial. While these measures provide significant security, it's equally important to focus on response and recovery. In the case of a ransomware attack, it's not enough to solely prevent and detect. Once detection is in place, a response model should be implemented to automate the process and minimize the time required for tasks, such as creating investigation reports. In the past, it would take approximately seven to eight days to create an investigation report for a specific attack, including writing a case study. This process can be streamlined and improved through the automation of contextual investigation reports. By saving base templates and content, including screenshots and attack details, automation can be achieved. We are currently working on integrating Microsoft WAF and Excel for this purpose, but having a built-in tool would be ideal."
"Blue Prism Cloud needs to improve support, though documentation is available online. It is not detailed, which does not help."
"I wouldn't call Blue Prism user-friendly. It's one of its downfalls. They would benefit from having drag and drop functionality, for example. It would make them a strong competitor in the space. There needs to be less reliance on coding for customization, similar to Microsoft's Power Automate."
"The deployment could be simplified."
"There should be more support for developing in environments such as Citrix and Linux."
"We have connectivity and integration with pretty much every single tech stack across the table that we have in the world, and there are a few areas that they don't do that well yet. I'd be looking for some improvement there, in terms of their integration with certain products."
"The dashboard needs improvement. For Bot Farm, the visualization is not that good compared to the main Automation Anywhere dashboard."
"I would like to have access to self-service support."
"An area for improvement in BotFarm is that the communication between the Control Room and the Bot Client Missions isn't utilized well. There's also the issue with PCI DSS compliance or certain regulations that require a set of configurations that are not fully supported by BotFarm. The product should be certified or designed according to the required regulations in the finance industry to make it better."
"Its UI could be made better. It should also be more flexible. Currently, it is more rigid, and a little more flexibility is required. Their technical support should also be better. We are not very happy with their technical support. Its price is also quite high as of now. They should improve its price. Its setup should also be made easier. It is quite complex to set it up. Even though we were able to set it up a little fast because we had done something similar earlier, but it has a very complex setup. It is extremely resource-hungry. If they can make it a little light on resources, that would also be useful."
"The OCR command needs to improve. This feature is used to convert the extracted data from an image file. While converting this file I was facing a lot of issues with the data because it was getting lost and some of the data which was extracted was mismatched. The data loss was rated as a nine and the data accuracy was a massive decrease and was up to 80%."
