Automation Hero
I recommend Automation Hero when you receive a lot of communications (email or fax) with a lot of attachments like documents or picture, for which there is a human operator that has to collect all the information from them and this information are basically always the same (same information, same fields, some pictures...). Automation Hero needs a little training to perform well, and this can be realized only if there is a large number of inputs. Instead, if your company manages few documents or only documents written by a human, I think Automation Hero isn't a good choice because the performance isn't good enough, and you have to dedicate too much time to the training (the value of Automation Hero is the possibility to arrange your activities quickly so if you need a lot of time, the solution is not so convenient). Also, in the classification field, I recommend Automation Hero if you have a lot of emails to manage and if you need the first classification of them before they are managed by humans (so, emails are always read by humans who provide answers, but the first step of the classification may be managed by the machine). In a few words, I think Automation Hero could work for large companies.

SS&C Technologies
Blue Prism Cloud is an ideal cloud automation solution for organizations with a significant number of remote workers or geographically disparate teams since its accessible from any web browser. It is also beneficial for organizations that need to quickly outsource part of their process automation without having to purchase additional software licenses and equipment.

However, Blue Prism Cloud is less suited for companies that have large volume data processing needs as its base cost may quickly become prohibitive in those situations. Additionally, this solution may not be suitable for organizations that need more complex solution-specific configurations since its integration options are limited.

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.

Automation Hero has a great support service for its customers. They are available to work closely with our team, especially for the first steps/first implementations, and they give us a team who is confident with our local native language. When there is something that goes wrong, they have quick answers for us, so we don't have to wait for the problem solutions.

Better User Interface.Better customer service.Easier to learn and use. But has greater risk compliances. Less preloaded automation. Less editing features and a big no while working on big projects. Fluidmesh is better in pricing and better management of multiple projects but I believe Blue Prism is perfect for beginners and small-scale companies.

Return on Investment
Automation Hero
  • Less IT costs because, with Hero Platforms, flows can be implemented without IT technical skills.
  • Better customer services for standard questions (speed reply).
  • Solutions are scalable so once you have created one you can reuse them in other departments (so the ROI for the implementation of Automation Hero must be considered for a lot of projects).

  • For a level of medium projects, Blue Prism performs well, and the speed of execution is good. In our organization, we are applying for medium projects, where we can increase the workforce of our employees.
  • Blue Prism's Client Server Architecture is good, because we need such a feature to implement automation.
  • When it comes to pricing, I personally feel that it is costlier.
