Use Cases and Deployment Scope

Our company uses Blue Prism RPA to create robust automations that are quite good. It has preset automation which only needs to be edited a little to make them viable for one's own business. The risk compliance is very high in large projects but it is perfect for small projects which need basic automation. It has an amazing User-Interface which is very easy to use if you have prior experience working with RPA. It becomes a mess if you have too many ongoing projects but it is quite good for people who are new to the industry.

The Industry Standard

Incentivized
Alexander CooperView profile

Pros

  • The huge amount of processes available out of the box allows for all simple processes to be quickly automated, and more complex solutions are catered to.
  • The process flow is very easy for a non-technical person to understand, for example, if a project manager wanted to see progress on automation, that manager could simply look at the flow and understand the process. It uses standard flow diagram icons that are easily distinguishable. This is in contrast to UiPath which can be more complex from merely glancing at it.
  • Blue Prism already is an industry leader, clients are very eager to buy and implement despite its fairly high price.

Cons

  • Blue Prism has no trial software, which meant I could not learn it in my spare time without a Fujitsu approved and paid license. This delayed my learning and lead me to pursue UiPath instead, which has a community free edition which is very powerful.
  • The software looks like Windows 98 compared to slicker, newer software such as UiPath. This is not really an issue but visual appeal is very important, especially in pre-sales situations.
  • If you haven't been strict with yourself with planning and laying out your process flow, it can get very messy very quickly. More forethought is needed to create a workflow vs. with competitors.

Return on Investment

  • Massive time saving, 1 hour per person per week in HR and finance internally.
  • All new joiners have had to have new Blue Prism licenses, which are expensive.
  • After the license was bought, our developers quickly had certification, which meant they could be billable on the project. That shows Blue Prism's easy learning curve.
