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.

Offers good UI but needs to improve its integration capabilities
Speaking about how the tool is useful in automating repetitive tasks in our company, I would say that my company started to collect data with the help of Datamatics while also using its GPS tracking features. The tool's UI is much better than the ones offered by other similar products in the market. I recommend the product to others who plan to use it. I suggest that others use their own method of interrogation since it will help them achieve more growth in their organizations through the use of the tool. I rate the tool a seven and a half out of ten.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The web-based designer is very user-friendly and easy to use."
"The stability is fantastic and is one of the great points of this solution."
"We are satisfied that we have achieved with the tool, and we are continuing with it."
"One of the most powerful features in Blue Prism is exception handling. It's one of the features that really differentiates it from other platforms."
"Although the solution may look complicated it actually has a lot of features and user space to work out of."
"It is a very stable tool that allows very complex automations."
"There are simple things you can put in place that help you understand workflow and how implementation acts."
"The performance is very good and it is a valuable feature."
"The solution is inexpensive compared to many other solutions in the market."
"The product's initial setup phase is straightforward and easy to use."
"Ability to calculate the ROI on the jobs that are running."
"The solution is very stable and we have not had any issues."
"We believe that the value and the cost of the Datamatics TruBot really fits financial institutions' budgets much better than what we'd call the big three, the Automation Anywhere, Blue Prism, UiPath."
 

Cons

"I don't like that it is so limited, anything that you do feels limited in your capabilities."
"A feature that I would like to see in the next release is the ability to easily call on the robots to fulfill part of the process, and be run by the users in the business, where the robot can simply be activated rather than running mass processes from a control room."
"The key value of Blue Prism is also its main weakness because Blue Prism is quite connected to its data, so anything you do on Blue Prism is logged on the database."
"They should incorporate more functionalities in the analytics tool."
"I would like to see the interface of Blue Prism refreshed."
"User interface could be improved and a web interface included for easy access to robot information."
"Optical character recognition has room for improvement."
"In terms of improvements for Blue Prism, I would suggest enhancements in user-friendliness, particularly in searching for features, which currently lags behind competitors."
"There is a learning curve, and some training could be included to bring users up to speed."
"I'd like to see more additions to the library, which I believe currently has 200 plus items."
"There is a learning curve, and some training could be included to bring users up to speed."
"The stability of the product has certain shortcomings, making it an area where improvements are required."
"Would like to see more additions to the library."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Blue Prism is pretty steep compared to the others, much more than Automation Anywhere."
"The solution is not that expensive and a five-year license costs about 20k euros."
"Its price is sometimes higher."
"It is a bit higher in cost as compared to Automation Anywhere and UiPath. The rate also differs from client to client. Margins are also important when it comes to costing and licensing. There are some additional costs involved besides the standard licensing costs. You have the development team cost, which includes the project manager, development team, analyst, and testers. You also need a team manager. You also have the tools cost, architecture cost, platform cost, and the licensing cost of each bot."
"We have a three-year contract that is paid on a yearly basis."
"I chose Blue Prism because it is priced well. The pricing was right for me at that moment even though Automation Anywhere is better in other aspects."
"We really don't bear the costs. The cost is borne by the customer. It runs into about $100,000 per year per customer for Blue Prism. We normally budget around $30,000 for the first year for the hardware, setup, and people cost."
"Blue Prism has a really simple licensing model, where the licenses are not confusing and there are no hidden costs the way there are in UiPath."
"The tool is expensive."
