    Blueprism: Important Elements of Blue Prism

    Uploaded by

    Azizul Huq
    The document summarizes the pros and cons as well as important elements of four robotic process automation (RPA) tools: Blue Prism, Pega Robotics/Openspan, Automation Anywhere, and UiPath. Blue Prism allows for good workflow design and reusable business objects but has a costly license and Windows-only control room. Pega Robotics integrates with Visual Studio and supports assisted RPA but has difficulties for non-.NET developers. Automation Anywhere's record and play makes development easy and fast but has limited data operations and no shared workstations. UiPath has robust design and recording features but runtime performance is slow.

    together. It requires a design of user interface.

    2 Integrated with Visual studio and great if you have DotNet/C# experience.

    3 Framework components like Logging, runtime configuration (read dynamic values from xml)
    can be built as C# DLL / custom conrols and import it to openspan studio.

    5 Text adapter/Emulator for mainframe support
