This tool is capable of filling out forms for various records and work applications, and offers advanced functionalities that can be quickly comprehended. Although it requires expertise to manage, it is user-friendly and not overly complex to operate. Our cost savings have been achieved by minimizing manual labor and optimizing our resources. I appreciate IBM's support in automating various use-cases, enabling us to implement solutions for our clients regardless of their industry or department.
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's complex and pricey, thus it's not practical for use in most small enterprises.
It takes some time to get accustomed to and it is challenging to absorb everything and understand each function when not all of it is addressed in the manual.
We recommend making improvements to the Chatbot integration and making it easier to build.
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.
IBM RPA is a very powerful tool, it has almost all the features that are necessary to build, implement and manage highly functional robots. The learning curve is very fast, so excellent skills are acquired. It is not necessary to have strong programming knowledge because its use is very easy. It is just drag and drop commands. By adding rules and logic, wonderful robots can be achieved.
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.
IBM has done a great job with enablement for the product. There is documentation for use-cases, development videos for beginners, and a community forum that has proven useful for getting started with the application. Although the resources cannot solve every problem a developer comes across, they have been very beneficial to our technical team.
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.
I am main developer of the this implementation. I have faced many chanllenges in implementation as IBM RPA not provided direct commands to automate Excel. I enjoyed in finding solution and best approach for the implementation
1.RPA Functionality: Both IBM RPA and Accenture RPA offer core RPA functionalities, such as the ability to automate rule-based, repetitive tasks, data entry, and data extraction from various applications and systems. 2.User-Friendly Design: Both platforms typically provide user-friendly interfaces and low-code or no-code development environments, allowing business users to create and manage automation processes without extensive coding knowledge. 3. Scalability: IBM RPA and Accenture RPA are designed to scale across an organization to address automation needs in various departments and processes.
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.
IBM RPA can improve the accuracy and consistency of certain tasks, which can result in improved quality and reduced errors.
In our organization have IBM RPA has reduced the time required to complete certain tasks by up to 62%, which resulted in significant time and cost savings.
One of the impacts to our business was automating repetitive and manual tasks
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.
