Kryon's AI-based and full cycle RPA has achieved leader rankings by industry analyst firms including Forrester1 and IDC2, who ranked Kryon a leader alongside the three largest RPA vendors – UiPath, Automation Anywhere, and Blue Prism – within the recently published IDC MarketScape: Worldwide RPA Software 2021-2022 Vendor Assessment.
