Checklist for Selecting The Right Tool

Checklist for RPA Tools - RPA Tools - edureka

  • Technology: Most of the organizations perform their day to day tasks outside the local desktop either by using virtual machines or Citrix environments. So the tool should support any type of application and must be platform-independent.
  • Scalability: While selecting an RPA tool, you must consider how easily the tool can respond to clients/business requirements and changes with high efficiency.
  • Security: Security is an important aspect in any field of technology.  Since RPA tools are software, you need to consider a lot of security measures while deploying bots in production.
  • Total Cost of Ownership: Includes the initial setup cost, maintenance cost, and ongoing vendor license fees. This is a very important parameter that must be considered while selecting a tool.
  • Ease of Use & Control: Any tool that you choose must be user-friendly to increase employee satisfaction and efficiency. 
  • Vendor Experience: It is advised to choose a vendor that serves a company similar to yours both in terms of size and industry. This will help you improve the speed of implementation.
  • Maintenance & Support: The vendor must follow a support model to ensure that the required Service Level Agreements are met. 

Now that you know the parameters you have to consider while selecting the tool, you should have an understanding of when to choose which tool. Refer to the following image to understand which tools suits your needs the best.

  • Great post – love the comprehensive overview of all the major RPA tools. Another way to decide which tool is best for your company is by reading user feedback, and IT Central Station has a wide range of RPA user reviews to choose from.

    As an example, this user writes in his review of Automation Anywhere, “AA has allowed the generation of gains in productivity by automating certain processes, moving the hours from FTEs to a software robot, thus creating a digital workforce. The employees who were working on those manual activities are now focusing their time in the critical analysis of their processes.” You can read the rest of his review here.
