Leading-edge NLP capabilities, efficient training of machine learning models, and the automation saves us significant time
The machine learning capability is good. The algorithm helps us to get the right data with less training effort. The technology seems to be a little bit ahead of the standard NLP software. They use more pattern recognition, rather than basing everything on reading static text. The problem with relying on an unchanging text is that it can depend on things such as the formatting, and where things appear within a document. This solution can process complex formats, which is helpful for us because we get a lot of PDFs and they come in many different formats. As an example, a carrier might include a list of their rates in a table, whereas a different carrier will write their rates into a paragraph, and yet another will put them into some sort of graphic. If you only capture text then you will only capture part of that data. Pattern recognition ultimately helps us to circumvent the problems in dealing with format variability in documents and allows us to capture the right data. When it comes to predicting what it is that a document needs manual intervention, CMR Plus does it pretty well. They have a QA cycle that is usually able to highlight such data. The content recognition ability, in terms of giving us only the data that we need and nothing else, is pretty good. It has a positive effect on our efficiency and by extension, it impacts our infrastructure costs.

Impressive flexibility and support enhance integration and performance
The best feature of Blue Prism that I value the most is the simplicity of their pricing and licensing model, which is easy to understand. The tool is very robust and, being a pioneer in the sector, it is also very stable, particularly in finance where many companies rely on Blue Prism for its reliability and security standards. From a developer perspective, I find developing on Blue Prism simple, clean, and intuitive, making maintenance considerably easier compared to other tools. These AI features have helped in developing scalable and flexible solutions for my customers, as I worked on use cases that involved natural language processing to turn free text into structured data, enabling automation of previously unautomatable tasks. Additionally, I processed voice feedback for sentiment analysis and information extraction, making interactions more intuitive and voice-driven for customers.

"The most valuable feature is that people with zero coding knowledge can use Blue Prism very well."
"Being able to create an object and use it for multiple processes has been very useful for us."
"All of the processes that we've automated have been completed successfully, and the bots are able to process them as expected."
"It helps us reduce the number of people involved in mundane tasks, and in the case of Absa it has really impacted them, the way the customer interacts with the organization when it comes to certain processes."
"Blue Prism has improved process efficiencies, and we can get some maximum optimization with ticket processing."
"Blue Prism is highly scalable and reliable."
"The overall package from Blue Prism is valuable, and I cannot pinpoint one certain part."
"We were using Blue Prism mainly for simple RPA processing; I work with advisors, and we have a lot of clients that have a lot of processes, and we use the solution for the cost and management processes, and when we need to organize some information we join the information into a report."
 

Cons

"We would like to see the overall accuracy increase from approximately 70% to perhaps 85%."
"We would like to see the overall accuracy increase from approximately 70% to perhaps 85%."
"It would be very helpful to have a simple and extensive training guide, or training model, to help learn how to work with the product."
"It would be very helpful to have a simple and extensive training guide, or training model, to help learn how to work with the product."
"Lotus Notes automation should be easier to understand."
"The recording of the transaction is missing in this solution."
"They should incorporate more functionalities in the analytics tool."
"Everyone uses Workday and Salesforce and all that stuff. If they had specific plugins to interact with these enterprise tools, that would be very helpful."
"The UI is more complicated than other tools."
"Blue Prism needs to provide better customer support because there are some bugs in the product that make implementation tricky. Blue Prism is designed more for operational than transactional processes. If Blue Prism incorporated a lot of IQ bots and cognitive processing, then it might be of better value at a lower cost. The issue of the cost of the tool needs to be addressed. To become a Blue Prism partner, it's costly. I think that this is one of the negative aspects of using Blue Prism."
"Lotus Notes automation should be easier to understand."
"We have found it difficult to receive support from Blue Prism."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Other than your infrastructure, in terms of servers that you have to set up, I don't think that there are any costs in addition to the standard licensing fees."
"The licensing fees are low compared to other tools."
"We have a three-year contract that is paid on a yearly basis."
"The price is on par with other products in the market."
"The tool is expensive."
"There is a one-time purchase fee for this solution."
"Licensing is on a yearly basis."
"The tool’s licensing is on a monthly basis."
