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."
"We can save on staff costs by automating processes."
"The primary focus lies in integrating the three major cloud platforms with Blue Prism Cloud: Microsoft Azure, Amazon AWS, and GCP. This integration goes beyond security measures for the primary template policies. It also includes addressing compliance requirements. For instance, I can incorporate specific compliance templates and policies generated in Blue Prism and integrate them with local templates for ISO 27001 and GDPR, particularly concerning software tools and headsets. This integration eliminates the need for auditing and reviewing technical details individually. Instead, I can simply examine the container report. This approach proves beneficial when clients heavily rely on container environments."
"There is no latency in the product."
"The ease of building automation and the development environment"
"This solution comes with a lot of good features."
"Once it does the monitor, it collects the respective data and creates an output that is required for reconfiguration."
"Its AI features allow customers to find specific documents via an index."
"UiPath's most valuable features are the UI library and object repository, which speed up the development."
"UiPath has definitely reduced the percentage of human errors that we have in our processes. In our system, all of the bots follow our best practices so there is a very small chance of error."
"It is user-friendly and significantly speeds up the development process."
"Both on-prem and cloud solutions are very stable."
"Email automation can access emails in multiple ways."
"With this solution, it has a more hands on GUI-based feature."
"We leverage the whole platform. The tool's most valuable features are unattended and attended robots."
"UiPath is great for desktop automation because it integrates well with applications and we are able to tailor selectors to our needs."
"The cost is a bit high. Other tools are much cheaper."
"The product’s licensing cost is expensive compared to other tools in the market."
"It takes a while to get up and running."
"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."
"Blue Prism Cloud's pricing needs to be improved because it is a little bit more costly than other automation tools like UIPath."
"I believe they need to become more competitive within the market in order to maintain their market share. We were essentially a Blue Prism shop and sold Blue Prism, but because of the price point, many clients are now looking at competitors."
"They should work on the solution's pricing."
"Blue Prism is slightly difficult for the non-technical user."
"Sometimes we get some disconnection issues. This happens maybe 10% of the time."
"When we have to capture some text from our invoices and from our notes and do some manual work, sometimes the tool doesn't extract the data in a precise way."
"The testing and release schedule for Studio should be improved because we find that with two releases per year, one of the versions is stable and the other one is not."
"UiPath should make more of its advanced capabilities available to non-technical users through additional low-code features. They should also enhance their AI features and make more machine learning models available out of the box through the UiPath store."
"I can’t think of any direct places where improvements need to happen. Whatever I need, it appears to be there. That said, any app could use some form of improvement."
"UiPath should take several steps forward to be prepared for this competition and create differentiation with capabilities that Microsoft does not have. The innovation within UiPath is going to be very, very crucial. However, the most important thing is clear the differentiation in the messaging."
"The Document Understanding feature should be more developed and advanced. For example, you have to make a template with their ML model. Currently, we can't use our own ML model, and we have to use the UiPath ML model. UiPath has only a few ML models right now. They should come up with more ML models or make it easier for us to use our own ML model."
"When I started working with UiPath, there were no activities for SAP, but in the version that I'm using right now, there are SAP activities or SAP modules. Previously, I had to code everything from user login to user logout, but now, all the activities are available. I just have to drag and drop and give the username and password. I don't have to do it from scratch. It would be great if they can include activities for all of the most common CRMs and ERPs. They can integrate it with different activities for the most common systems."
