    SAP Build is a strong and reliable partner with a rich FAQ and consulting power. New features make sense and are easy to distribute within the team and to end users. The community is nice, and there are many discussions on product development, shared solutions, and productivity improvements. UI is also one of the strongest points.

    TLM will be well suited for an organization's recon requirements. If the organization is able to afford the software, it will be worth investing the amount. The support for heterogeneous file formats is one of the key features. It can accept swift and flat files. The config screens for ingesting the data are very user-friendly. Overall the time taken for setting up a new recon is very less. TLM can be improved if they bring in some AI/ML algorithms for improved match rates.

    Cons
    SAP
    • Comparing to other RPA Tools, SAP Build automation lacks enough user guidance.
    • Licensing is a little bit confusing.
    • From a technical perspective, older versions of the automation part are not always stable, but the other services (workflow, business rules, apps, etc.) are much more stable.

    The SAP Build Apps is definitely getting better, however it is still not as easy to use and complete as some other solutions. This makes it a bit harder to use for Functional Consultants for example. SAP Build Process automation on the other hand is so easy, that everybody can build processes in it.

    There are, for example, great blog writings about automation cases and examples. The studio version is updated often. There are also useful OpenSAP online courses.

    Bubble.io is more user-friendly in comparison with SAP AppGyver. The latter being practically a free tool provides enough functionality to achieve results though while Bubble.io doesn't let you export your projects without a paid subscription. Bubble.io has great initial tour and tutorial integrated into the platform that can be handy for any new beginner while SAP AppGyver can be a little overwhelming.

    Excel was used as a traditional recon tool using macros for matching. There is no room to scale up the recons using excel. The recons are cumbersome and take a lot of time to complete. There are more chances of manual errors. No UI to create a good user experience. Overall all negatives compared to TLM
