Automation and AI integration enhance performance and user experience
The improvements or enhancements I would like to see in Blue Prism Cloud revolve around further developing server-client architecture, focusing on centralized control for remote agents. I believe more capabilities in that area could be beneficial. At the moment, I don't recall any specific features or functionalities missing from Blue Prism Cloud that come to mind. In terms of complexity, I find that Blue Prism Cloud is somewhat straightforward to use. Flexibility-wise, it engages well with Microsoft-based technologies. However, there are challenges with OCR capabilities that remain an issue. While there are readily available features that work well, the effectiveness does depend significantly on the type of use case I am implementing.
CV
CTO at Atheneum
Simplifies integrations and is suitable for large companies
Sometimes, when our company develops using the latest technology, the knowledge is not yet cycled down to the tool's support team. The tool's support team is not mature enough to handle the tool. The promotion of a feature before it is mature may cause issues, and I feel that sometimes the deployment of such features is a little too early. The tool will release a feature, but it will have bugs in it. We face challenges because the tool's team doesn't have the knowledge to deal with the issues in the product's new features. When SAP develops something, if the tool's team doesn't know how to support it, it becomes a problem because now we have to access developers to get the information that is not readily available.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"The corporate leverage is better with Blue Prism. They just present better in a large corporation. It's easier to sell suits and ties than it is sneakers and jeans in financial institutions. That's not really about the application per se; it's the perception."
"The most valuable feature is security."
"Decipher has been a valuable feature that many of our clients use to extract information from documents."
"It's easy to use, the interface, the the the the queries is which we use. It's user friendly."
"What I like best about Blue Prism Cloud is that it's secure, robust, and has 24 x 7 support available. I also find the solution quick and intelligent. Even a non-coder can easily use it."
"The solution works well overall."
"The most valuable feature is the speed at which we are able to implement solutions that can interact through the user interface in the same way that a human being would."
"Ability to see the blueprint of the design executed alongside the actual process."
"The most valuable feature of the solution is that it offers an integrated development environment."
 

Cons

"I personally would like the solution to be supporting more languages."
"I believe they need to become more competitive within the market in order to maintain their market share. We were essentially a Blue Prism shop and sold Blue Prism, but because of the price point, many clients are now looking at competitors."
"Several things need improvement, like ease-of-use, adding tended robots, adding process recording, and updating the look and feel so it seems modern."
"The area for improvement in Blue Prism Cloud is the support component. Whenever I reach out to the Blue Prism community, they consistently request knowledge sessions for everything, whether it is an advanced feature or not."
"Blue Prism should adopt a low-code approach. Most RPA vendors only provide what they call a "form builder." A low-code designer would enable us to build a custom UI."
"Edge browser extensions could be made slightly more resilient. It would be nice if they could package new libraries for end users rather than have them search for libraries."
"The pricing was a bit high, from what I understand. That might have played a role in the decision to migrate to another solution."
"There is room for improvement in the speed."
"The tool's support team is not mature enough to handle the tool."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The licensing structure is complex and the minimum contract length is three years."
"We found the pricing reasonable, and it aligned with our budgetary requirements."
"This solution comes at a medium to high price point. They need to work on their pricing to enable smaller enterprises to get the benefit of using the product."
"Though I don't have many details, I think Blue Prism Cloud is an expensive product compared to the other tools in the market since you need to pay for resources like machines."
"I rate the platform’s pricing a seven out of ten."
"The pricing is fine."
"Blue Prism comes at a higher price point compared to other solutions on the market."
"The price is very competitive when you are comparing to other providers."
"The product is not cheaply priced."
