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.

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.

Cons
  • Firstly there is a scope to reduce the pricing so that it can be more affordable.
  • The customer support team is bit slow so it takes some time to get the answers for your queries.
  • The integration is not so straightforward and it takes good amount of time.

  • 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.

Usability
Because I think it is fairly easy to navigate. But at the same time, I still think it’s not mature enough for non-developers. At least for our use cases, it has been needed to perform coding in some sense. But ofc. I think joule will help a lot here.

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 Rating
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.

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.

Alternatives Considered
Compared to Mendix, we decided not to go for low code application building and in the other parts of Build, Build is stronger and better integrated with SAP. On the hand of Coding, using Build Code, gives us Joule, which understands SAP better and also have a tighter and more secure coupling with SAP services.

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.

Return on Investment
  • SAP Build significantly reduces the effort on the integration side compared to other LCNC platforms.
  • From a licensing perspective, the platform can kind of lock you in, but that's also true for other cloud platforms as well.
  • Creating an app that fully works with your ERP (especially if you have S4HANA as the ERP System) is fast. It enables quick prototyping.

  • 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.
