I previously used Power Automate. 

Previously, we worked with WorkFusion.

If we compare Blue Prism and WorkFusion, Blue Prism is typically considered a low-code platform, while WorkFusion is a coding platform. However, it's worth noting that both platforms offer varying degrees of low-code and coding capabilities, and the exact level of coding required will depend on the specific use case and implementation.

Although you can program in Java or a specific XML-like language, it still involves writing code. I wouldn't say that this is a bad thing. 

As a developer myself, I actually prefer writing code. When using Blue Prism, I often find myself having to rearrange blocks in order to create more space for additional blocks I need to add. However, if you're writing code, you don't have to worry about that issue.

Perhaps for an average business user, Blue Prism would be easier to learn. However, Blue Prism requires more planning and preparation compared to Automation Anywhere before starting to code. It's more similar to regular development rather than ad-hoc development.

To give an example, in Automation Anywhere, you could start developing a robot without any prior planning in the tool. You could simply throw in 10 or 12 blocks, and that would do the job. It would be a simple robot. However, with Blue Prism, you need to do some planning and preparation before you start coding. 

It's more like regular development, unlike Automation Anywhere which is more like at-home development. Blue Prism may be easier for business users to work with as it has a more visual system, whereas WorkFusion is more code-based and deployable. 

I stopped working with WorkFusion about three years ago, so my information may be obsolete.

I am working with UiPath and Automation Anywhere.

I don't think that there was a tool that we used before Blue Prism. There were various things that people were doing in silos on their computers. Blue Prism is probably the only automation tool that was rolled out at an enterprise level. We are also rolling out Power Automate.

Four years ago, the bank did not have a specialized team for this RPA solution, so they started taking support from Accenture or Ernst & Young teams. So the initial processeswere automated by these teams. Two years ago, HSBC started its own teams to develop the solutions using Blue Prism. Blue prism is the only automation solution HSBC has used so far. 

We used UiPath which was not so much effective than Blue Prism.

I have used UiPath and Robocorp. Blue Prism is more stable and provides good support, and a monitoring and development perspective.

Robocorp provides Python as a programming license and the cost is very low. All the features are available, but coding knowledge is required.

I have used UiPath previously.

You don't need to be a technical developer to develop in Blue Prism, you follow the natural way you have developed. Whilst with UiPath, you need some development background to be able to develop in it.

We work with almost every solution: Automation Anywhere, WorkFusion, WinAutomation, etc. We work with everything. Sometimes it happens that the tool which is needed for the client is Blue Prism.

Sometimes the client wants us to use Blue Prism. Sometimes we propose that we use Blue Prism for the client. We don't distinguish between which tool is good, bad or ugly. We basically go by which tool is specifically required for the job.

I have worked on most RPA tools. The company had already selected this product.

I'm strongly involved with Automation Anywhere. I've been working with Automation Anywhere since 2019.

While Blue Prism and Automation Anywhere are very similar to each other in terms of capabilities, Automation Anywhere is much easier to use. 

Even in Blue Prism or UiPath or Automation Anywhere, the attributes are very similar to each other. However, Blue Prism is got a larger barrier to entry due to its high learning curve and lack of strong training.

We prefer the fact that, for example, on Automation Anywhere, we can use trial versions and we can use that time to train employees on how to use it. With Blue Prison, there doesn't seem to be a trial option.

We did not have a previous solution.

One of the major features, and it's why we selected Blue Prism, is that it's an enterprise-level automation. We wanted something that would be enterprise software, so we could monitor it centrally and maintain it centrally, while giving people the freedom to work independently as well. We didn't want a situation where I build a robot and now I'm looking at it on my screen. The idea was to free up peoples' time so that they could do something value-add while the robot is running on its own machine. This enterprise-level type of software was the need and Blue Prism fulfills that.

I worked with Automation Anywhere before Blue Prism.

We have used Micro Focus earlier for IT operations management and HPE operation orchestration features.

We just started with Blue Prism. We didn't deploy anything else previously.

We also use UiPath and Automation Anywhere.

Our adoption of Blue Prism is an expansion in our automation efforts, and we did not switch from using these other products.

Most of the RPA solutions are very similar, although the debugging is better in Blue Prism than other products. Instead of being able to change the code while it is running and then have it continue, with other products you have to restart the process and monitor it after each change is made. Debugging in Blue Prism saves a lot of time.

This is the first RPA we've worked with. We did not use another solution previously.

We also have experience with Automation Anywhere. From a marketing perspective, Automation Anywhere has done a lot, but since we have just started using Automation Anywhere, our lower environments are built, but our higher environment is yet to be built. 

So, why did we make the choice to use Automation Anywhere when we have Blue Prism? The simple answer is because the marketing of Automation Anywhere is better. They were offering IQ bots and attended bot runners; Blue Prism wasn't really offering these. These were big areas of consideration between the two, because when we were actually evaluating, Blue Prism didn't have a similar offering for IQ bots or attended bots that Automation Anywhere had.

Blue Prims was the first tool that I used in automation and, in some ways, I got stuck with it. There was a huge demand for it in South Africa so I have always followed the Blue Prism path. But after having used Blue Prism, I used Automation Anywhere and am extremely happy with it. Their support is extremely good.

We didn't previously use a different solution. This is our first and only product for the purpose of automation.

We weren't using any such product previously. We were new to RPA, and this was the product that was chosen by our team. This decision was taken one or two years ago. At that time, I wasn't with this organization.

I use UiPath for the most part.

I have some experience with Pega RPA but it's garbage, so I don't use it.

I have also used UiPath and Automation Anywhere. All these three solutions stand out because they are at the enterprise level. As compared to UiPath and Automation Anywhere, to use Blue Prism, you need developers who have hardcore development experience. It requires quite a bit on the development side. In Blue Prism, you can also code separately and write a script, which adds more value to it.

Blue Prism came too late into the market with its analytics and process discovery features, whereas Automation Anywhere and UiPath were the first ones in the market. Blue Prism is catching up, and it is in the Gartner quadrant, Forrester, etc. It is not lagging far behind.

In Europe, Blue Prism has captured a lot of markets. In the US and Asia, you will see Automation Anywhere and UiPath in the front race. Microsoft, WorkFusion, and Pega are also catching up now.

After I started using Blue Prism, I also started working with Automation Anywhere and Ui Path.

Blue Prism has its own market share. The large three or four organizations use Blue Prism's security and scalability features, which can be applied at an enterprise level. Some things need to be improved. These are things that are lacking in other tools as well, so it is a fair competition.

Prior to using Blue Prism, we gained experience using UiPath. We have now started using Automation Anywhere, as well. Each of these RPA products has different features and we choose the one that best meets the needs of the project.

For example, UiPath is very good at text file automation, whereas Automation Anywhere is better at web-based or cloud-based automation.

I've worked with UiPath in the past.

This was our first platform for automation. We have used other tools such as K2, but Blue Prism is the only full-fledged RPA platform that we've used.

We started with UiPath and Automation Anywhere.

This was the first tool that we started to utilize when it comes to RPA deployments.

We did not use another RPA prior to this one. 

I have limited familiarity with other RPA products.

We did not use another solution prior to this one.

I have used UiPath previously and the licensing is more complex than Blue Prism. 

UiPath has built a solution that can engage across small, medium, and enterprise levels companies. It can operate in not only enterprises. UiPath has a free solution where very small businesses can use it called the community edition. They can use it for a period of time for free and I believe it is for two or three. It encourages people to adopt UiPath.

We started with Blue Prism.

Previously, I was using UiPath and because of a change in job, I started using Blue Prism.

I am proficient in UiPath as well as Blue Prism, and I have just started using Kofax RPA. I am also looking into Automation Anywhere.

Of all of these solutions, I prefer to work with UiPath. Blue Prism does have an advantage that non-coders can work with it. However, it lacks in document processing features that are available in Automation Anywhere and UiPath.

I also use UiPath. When comparing Blue Prism and UiPath, there are some pros and cons in both tools. UiPath does some of the things really well but lags behind in some aspects and vice versa. Blue Prism is really good at something like multi-bot architecture and tracking of the tickets for the records. UiPath provides create activities and create packages related to AI analytical skills, which is where Blue Prism lags behind.

In addition to Blue Prism, we use UiPath and Power Automate as well.

UiPath is more advanced, technology-wise, than Blue Prism, and they have more functionality. That said, Blue Prism has a beauty of its own.

Blue Prism is cheaper than UiPath.

We did not use a solution prior to this one.

No, I have not used a different solution.

Previously, we did not use another solution.

I also work with UiPath, Automation Anywhere, and Power Automate. Functionality-wise, Blue Prism and Power Automate are two completely different tools, but they share the common RPA target. Blue Prism can work in the same area as Power Automate, and it can automate things in all of the areas that are available within an office environment. They can be used interchangeably, but at the same time, Blue Prism allows for more complex automations to be performed.

Specifically for Robotic Process Automation, we did not use a solution prior to this one. We have used Test Automation tools from Mercury Interactive, which seems to be where RPA started.
