We performed a comparison between Blue Prism Cloud and UiPath 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.
"The platform is user-friendly and easy to learn in a low-code environment."
"The product itself is quite mature."
"Blue Prism offers the whole package for LPR developers. It's a useful tool to automate anything. As an LPR developer, I think the most important feature is that it lets you get anything into blocks of code that you can use anywhere."
"Ability to see the blueprint of the design executed alongside the actual process."
"There is no latency in the product."
"If I look at the top four, I believe it is far more user-friendly than the other competition."
"This product has additional functionality over Blue Prism Cloud Enterprise."
"Blue Prism Cloud is a stable solution."
"UiPath Academy RPA training is well put together. It paces well, not too fast nor too slow. You are constantly given new things to experiment with and things to learn which keep you interested, engaged, and moving forward."
"The most valuable features include multi-bot architecture, UiPath Studio, and Test Manager."
"UiPath's most valuable features are the UI library and object repository, which speed up the development."
"The tool's most valuable feature is unattended robots."
"In terms of ROI, we are saving more than what the platform costs us. We are at about 1.5 million in savings due to a recent automation. It was a little less than that before. These are soft savings and don't show up on balance sheets. We're trying to work toward automations that actually do lead to hard savings. We've saved about 43,000 hours in a year so far."
"This solution has improved business by facilitating increased speed and accuracy."
"Designing a chatbot would usually require some language coding and it would have to be deployed with certain front-end languages. But UiPath gives us the ability to automate this functionality with drag-and-drop features. That is the very best part, where UiPath is doing an amazing job."
"The most valuable feature is the ability to retrieve data from Excel files, including filtering the data. It is also straightforward and easy to navigate when building automations and makes our tasks easy to perform. It is very easy to use without any prior coding knowledge."
"Lacking advance features like CIO and optical character recognition"
"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."
"Several things need improvement, like ease-of-use, adding tended robots, adding process recording, and updating the look and feel so it seems modern."
"They should work on the solution's pricing."
"The main issue is screen scraping with Blue Prism gives us a big challenge because we need to define which technologies are web-based have been built instead of by itself discovering the technology that it is built on."
"The product’s licensing cost is expensive compared to other tools in the market."
"There are a few smart services that are not available in Blue Prism. For example, Excel sheets that are converted into a CS sheet have limitations with the number of columns when imported. This could be improved."
"It would be useful if some of the information protocols came built within the app instead having to create them."
"I want a dashboard on pending and ongoing automation in Orchestrator. Currently, we have to check folder by folder to see them."
"There is room for improvement in browser automation, particularly regarding access and success rates."
"The licensing could be more flexible."
"There is a very steep learning curve for business users."
"We'd like to see mobile robots in the future."
"I have fewer issues with the user interface when I'm using Blue Prism or Automation Anywhere. For example, if you want to perform an action in UiPath, it's a little tricky because you must click on a particular icon. When you click on that, some selectors are generated. That will change whenever the application updates, so you must change the selector again after the update. When we are dealing with Automation Anywhere, we'll not get any selectors if we are using that action once."
"There are some selector issues when it comes to web automation and desktop automation. There is a robot selector. When we feed the data, it tries to fetch the UI elements from that particular data, but that's not happening 100%. That could have some improvements."
"I would like to see more machine learning features and capabilities for more accurate OCR."
