Nintex RPA LE, which was based on Foxtrot powered by Enablesoft, was a suite of robotic process automation (RPA) software solutions. Foxtrot is now discontinued.

SS&C Blue Prism provides a combination of technologies that offer intelligent automation to deliver transformational business value.
Blue Prism Intelligent RPA is well suited for the processes which are rules-based in nature. This software works well with web based application integrations. It's very easy to capture the object details and code the workflow with ease. The record functionally will do the trick most of the time and will save a lot of effort in coding the workflow. Work needs to continue in the surface automation part. It works with surface automation but there are chances of failure sometimes and we feel like the control of automation is very fragile.
It could use better handling of emulator response times and states. For example, oftentimes the tool moves faster than the emulator can perform tasks and the whole process can crash, forcing the user to start over.
It could use a drag and drop workflow interface, which might make it easier to create complex scripts.
Object handling can be improved more and instead of going through each and every object to find its functionality it is hard and only the experienced BP tool user can understand.
The identification of the elements can be improved much more with having useful details in place instead of only using the Indexes for the elements.
In the environment variables pane, they can add some grouping facility to divide the variables in the environment variables section.
Can improve the calculation stage for doing string operations using the VB commands instead of using code and inbuilt native functions to save time.
Foxtrot is the best data automation software on the market. Especially for the price and cost savings. I have been able to do so much data integrity clean up over the years to keep our system clean.
A very user-friendly workflow creation process. A dashboard to provide a full visibility of the workflow and processes. We're able to easily monitor ongoing, pending, stopped, error workflows and act swiftly when there was a red flag. Also implemented workflow approval process where task require multi-level approval for proper ISO documentation.
Support is good and now with time online support in other forums is becoming available as well. Blue Prism support in itself is also good. Documents and blogs can help to find the solution. Since it's relatively new, sometimes if I'm stuck it can take time to find the solution or connect to their team.
Foxtrot does not have nearly as much in terms of functionality and workflow tools. It is primarily meant for automating and creating scripts that help with mainframe-based maintenance and migration tasks. In addition, it is very efficient in simulating the actions of an individual for daily and manual tasks. We selected Foxtrot because it was the tool that was recommended by the main vendor we needed to interface with, and industry-wide it was the main tool being used by other financial institutions with similar platforms to perform the tasks that we bought the platform to perform.
It offers the same user experience as other RPA solutions such as Automation Anywhere and UiPath, but with the added benefit of being able to leverage the cloud for scalability and manageability. Blue Prism Cloud works in conjunction with existing IT infrastructure, allowing users to continue running their current IT operations while automating processes.
Compared to Automation Anywhere and UiPath, Blue Prism Cloud has several distinct advantages. Firstly, it provides pre-built templates for commonly used tasks, enabling businesses to scale faster with increased agility. Secondly, its hybrid deployment model allows users to select either private or public clouds - providing improved scalability and flexibility.
As previously mentioned, Foxtrot has allowed us to become infinitely more efficient in handling mass maintenance scenarios within the organization. It has allowed us to go from development to deployment often within a couple of days including testing.
It has further allowed for the remote automation of manual tasks performed on a daily basis and freed up that time so that the resources can be more efficient within their functions and get more things done.
The tool has allowed for the creation of several template scripts that can be utilized anytime for similar situations, which has made us even more efficient in that the development of the script only happens one time and provides for infinite uses without any additional overhead.
Saved a considerable amount of time ( More than 5000 Hours of manual work so far )
Saved considerable amount of money as well ( If their costing improve, this matrix will improve largely for all organizations )
It requires very less coding so instead of hiring new people trained in a specific tool we were able to manage this with the existing workforce with a few weekend classes.
