    It is well suited when we need to integrate business processes with SAP ERP and SAP CRM - the solution can be integrated with business rules/procedures defined in SAP ERP/CRM and NetWeaver can be used to monitor the rules and flag off exceptions. When there are multiple workflows running, it tends to slow down running of these processes. Also, it entirely depends on SAP portal for it to run efficiently.

    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.

    Pros
    SAP
    • Virtual paper trail. Iterations of process and current documentation are all stored as "artifacts", leaving a great trail.
    • Configuration of users. BPM somewhat magically determines which users will be impacted and automates rules.
    • A pro (that is also a con) is the design interface. If you know what you are doing, it is incredibly powerful and malleable.

    • Storing information from email in a standard data set
    • Auto reply to emails tailored to the email so that it doesn't feel like a robotic or generalized response
    • Workflow creation is simple and easy, the flow structure is easy to read and can be directly used in presentation to customers and management

    • Surface Automation - The tool is not working well with certain applications hosted on Citrix
    • Provide more integrations with excel as majority of the business process use excel
    • Community Support- unlike other development tools we do not have a lot of help topics available on Google.

    Support Rating
    SAP
    We have our own tech support for systems, I would say they probably could use more training on it, I don't really think it's anything regarding the SAP system, but more the knowledge they have on the system itself. It seems to take longer for them to fix any issues we may come across.

    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.

    I found the initial setup of NetWeaver is much simpler than other products especially in an SAP environment where we have SAP ERP/HRM/CRM as it can be well integrated with other SAP products. The only drawback is the need/dependency on SAP Portal. It is better suited in an environment where SAP ERP is running.

    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
    SAP
    • Helped us harness integrated benefit from having SAP ERP/CRM by leveraging NetWeaver to define business processes/rules and monitor exceptions
    • Did not have any negative experience except for the fact that at times when multiple rules run, it can be somewhat slow

    • 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.
