New RPA buyers in 2026 (UiPath, Automation Anywhere, Power Automate are stronger choices), AI-first automation buyers, or mid-market buyers (Power Automate or Nintex more practical).
Existing Blue Prism enterprise customers (typically 5,000+ employee global financial services, government, regulated industries) running mature unattended-bot estates and prioritizing governance + stability over innovation pace.
Why we say this
Editorial pulled these weaknesses from Blue Prism’s product card in our Top 10 RPA Software for 2026:
- ! Innovation pace slowed visibly post-SS&C acquisition (2022)
- ! Customer base shrinking on competitive renewals
- ! Roadmap velocity lags UiPath, Automation Anywhere on AI
- ! AI co-pilot module released later than peers
- ! Brand momentum lost since acquisition
- ! Smaller modern partner ecosystem than UiPath
If Blue Prism is wrong for you, consider these instead
Same Robotic Process Automation (RPA) category, different best-fit buyer.
Best for
Mid-market and enterprise (500-25,000 employees) wanting a UiPath alternative with cleaner cloud-native architecture and credible AI co-pilot, buyers willing to accept private-company valuation risk and IPO-timing uncertainty.
See full profile →Best for
Large enterprises (1,000-100,000+ employees) with serious RPA programs already running 50+ bots, organizations that need a deep, mature, multi-modal automation platform and can absorb the strategic risk of UiPath being mid-pivot from classic RPA to AI-agent orchestration.

Existing Pega BPM customers (typically 2,000-100,000+ employees in banking, insurance, government, telco, healthcare) extending into desktop and back-office automation without adding a separate RPA vendor.
