We performed a comparison between Blue Prism and Redwood Software - Finance Automation Edition 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."As a developer, I liked the layout and UI, specifically referring to testing. I was able to watch the process through stages."
"I find Blue Prism's debugging functionality to be quite useful."
"The ease of development is the most valuable. Standard VBOs are pretty useful there with Excel and different things. Our custom developments for SAP and things like that are pretty easy to set up and quick to get going."
"The tool is very technically sound."
"The most valuable feature is that people with zero coding knowledge can use Blue Prism very well."
"Stability-wise, I haven't heard any complaints from our clients."
"Blue Prism MAPIEx and the Java Bridge are really great features provided for automating Java-based applications and for allowing mail to send and receive smoothly."
"A feature I like about Blue Prism is the Control Room and how easy it is to find exceptions, to find common issues, and to troubleshoot your exceptions. Your Control Room person, without any development skills, can easily pick up what the problem is, with the exceptions, especially when there are a lot of exceptions related to one use case or process."
"So the best thing is ease of use."
"Redwood has a great feature where it logs every transaction. So, at any point, we can see every step taken for each transaction. It creates an audit trail of the entire process execution. It is a really good feature. This eliminates the need for extra coding or report generation. The audit report is readily available within the tool itself."
"The out-of-the-box finance modules within the Redwood Finance framework help to speed up the process, versus designing and writing generic BOT code."
"The initial setup and deployment could be simplified."
"All of the processes that we've automated have been completed successfully, and the bots are able to process them as expected."
"Everyone uses Workday and Salesforce and all that stuff. If they had specific plugins to interact with these enterprise tools, that would be very helpful."
"I don't like that it is so limited, anything that you do feels limited in your capabilities."
"The solution is not user-friendly. It has a very high learning curve."
"Blue Prism could be more scalable."
"We had a lot of challenges managing authentication and reusing or using external authentication providers."
"Blue Prism can improve on the ease of use of its graphic user interface(GUI)."
"Mapping the process steps to an existing R2R process quickly would be a definite step forward."
"would like to see AI integration for automation in future releases. Post-automation, I envision a generative AI model. If I could ask the bot questions like the number of invoices or their current status, it should be able to provide answers directly."
"The room for balancing improvement lies in automation enhancement with respect to the feature areas, considering dealing directly with Excel and reviewing it to do some additional stuff for it in the end system so that reading the right thing, picking up the values, and everything."
