RPA Tools Comparison

The process involved in the Automation of business operations using robots in order to reduce human interference is known as Robotic Process Automation (RPA). RPA software uses bots for automating common tasks in software applications that are usually done by the employees of the company. It saves time and removes the need for the employees to perform the repetitive, lengthy, and annoying tasks. To develop these automations, the RPA solutions offer development environments to build workflows, and agents follow them. Generally, these environments are codeless drag and drop systems; that is why even non-developers can also develop required processes. In this blog, we are going to discuss some of the best RPA tools and compare them. So Let's get started. RPA tools or providers are the software that allows us to configure tasks for getting automated. Nowadays, we can find many RPA vendors like UiPath, Blue Prism, WorkFusion, Pega Systems, Automation Anywhere, and many others. However, Automation Anywhere, UiPath, and Blue Prism are the market leaders while NICE, WorkFusion, EdgeVerve, Kryon, Pega, and Redwood are the Performers and Contextor, Kofax, and Softomotive are the Contenders. All these tools are commonly used within the industry for a variety of purposes. Now let us know more about UiPath, Blue Prism, and Automation Anywhere and compare them:
