Cost-effective wwith good automation and enhanced UI flexibility
Initially, the Pega Platform was used as a BPM tool. Now, it is not limited to BPM. We can use it for CPM, GRM, and various other functions. We also utilize robotic automation, including desktop automation and process automation The Pega Platform helps in integrating a lot of manual data and…
Venkat Sivaprakash - PeerSpot reviewer
Advanced language processing, useful for global business operations, and a quick setup
Some important features include the language capabilities, which are crucial since RPA has to read the documents provided by the customer. A separate OCR needs to be brought in if the language is different from English. Blue Prism was once the most expensive and advanced, especially when working with Java applications. However, the distinctions between Blue Prism and UiPath are blurring, offering similar advantages. UiPath has features that allow it to read and break down scanned copies into readable text, which is beneficial.
