Featured Reviews

Pavan-Sharma - PeerSpot reviewer
Senior Consultant at a consultancy with 10,001+ employees
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.
Sumedin Bilalic - PeerSpot reviewer
Lead RPA developer at a tech vendor with 1,001-5,000 employees
Has a straightforward initial setup process and good technical support services
Adapting to Robocorp is initially challenging, especially compared to drag-and-drop automation tools like Automation Anywhere and UiPath. Writing actual code in Visual Studio Code gives freedom but also requires a learning curve. If you don't have experience with programming languages like Python, it would take six to twelve months to learn. However, once proficient, it enables faster development cycles and the ability to achieve more than traditional tools allow.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"RPA processes are helpful when we need interaction with different applications and close the technical gaps between them. In one of the use cases that we evaluated, there was a single Excel template from a vendor. The Excel file has 7,000 objects, and it included information about the part numbers, prices, and some of the details about each object of the aircraft. This file had to be input to SAP, so a human had to enter these 7,000 objects one by one, which is a pretty mechanical and uninteresting task. The RPA bot was easily able to import this file. Without RPA, this import had to be done by a person who had to do the same task 7,000 times just to import one contract."
"The main automation feature of Blue Prism is the most valuable."
"The integration has improved a lot in terms of SAP, and other screens."
"The most valuable features are the exception handling and embedded control room."
"The use cases range from document ingestion, process enablement, and data management, including financial records cleanup."
"It is not just for coders, as you can have a diagrammatic representation of the process."
"Blue Prism is a great enterprise and it has offered the solutions that I have been needing in order to give my organization an RPA."
"It's quite easy to use and easy to understand the process studio."
"The product has a valuable business process automation feature."
"The process execution and all features are very good."
"The solution is based on Python which makes it very valuable."
"It offers high scalability and enables automation in ways that haven't been possible before."
"It's easy to deploy bots via the API helper in Control Room. Robocorp's debugging features are also robust. It shows you a lot of data."
"I like the fact that it's very fast. The processing speed is good, and that's what matters to me. I also like that we don't have to bother with the infrastructure setup. We don't have to care about the status of the data set, as I believe the local group will provide it. We don't care about the licensing model. We only have to care about how long we are using it."
"It supports Python runtime because of that, runtime also improves."
"I can use it as a library by importing Python scripts, allowing me to access its many features while working with coding."
 

Cons

"Blue Prism needs to work in a web-based account. I think that the Blue Prism will need to have the main features be web-based so that you can control the box in a web-based environment and not in a client's environment."
"Blue Prism can improve on the ease of use of its graphic user interface(GUI)."
"In Nigeria, I don't know what their marketing is like. However, they're losing market shares to other solutions. Most customers know UiPath more than Blue Prism."
"I would like to see a cloud version of Blue Prism available. Both cloud and on-premise options would be beneficial, as they would reduce maintenance costs. I'm using the Blue Prism desktop, which is still in the initial stages. I want enhancements in the Object Explorer and Application Model features to ensure stability in upcoming versions. I have suggested a few ideas, such as incorporating triggering mechanisms, but I haven't seen them implemented yet."
"Blue Prism develops its own tools and process automation, but the documentation is unclear and incomplete."
"I have found that community support is lacking for this solution compared to competitors."
"We would like to see some desktop automation, although we have been told that the product is not going to be taken in that direction."
"Blue Prism could improve by having better integration with Computer Vision."
"Robocorp is still in development, so most of the keywords are a bit confusing. I have to alter lots of automation steps between processing and development. However, Selenium is due for an update soon, and Robcorp is addressing some of the limitations caused by the previous Selenium version."
"The platform's documentation could be better."
"The standard libraries in Robocorp should be more advanced."
"There are certain libraries in Python, such as those dealing with PDF automation and word files, that require the presence of certain external dependencies in the environment to be successfully used."
"It would be better if it were more user-friendly for non-technical users. It would be better if they had some drag-and-drop features to create logic."
"I don't like the complexity of deployment."
"We use the latest version of the process studio and it takes up a lot of CPU storage. In our case, this has been up to 14 GB of storage."
"We would also like an integrated PDF reader and better integration with custom solutions. The built-in Excel customization is limited, but we can still accomplish what we want using Python. We must rely on Python to customize processes in Robocorp. I don't know about the latest IDE from Robocorp, but the old one doesn't have a lot of activities."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The tool is expensive."
"Blue Prism has a higher cost with respect to RPA enablement, particularly if you are trying to start with RPA."
"It is expensive for us. It should be cheaper for a market like ours. We are based in India."
"The billing is on a yearly basis. They send us the bill every year. My business unit is billed by the technology team, so I don't know exactly how much they pay. In my business unit, we have our first-year license costs, and then we have our ongoing costs. Our bots cost projected per license is $8,600. Our projected support cost for every year is about $38,000. Our operation agent costs anywhere between $50,000 to $55,000, so the saving is there, but it is still kind of expensive for us, but I'm looking at it from the technology kind of billing us for it. This is the cost that we have for our technology team, which is different from the licensing of Blue Prism."
"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."
"To use Blue Prism, there is a need to pay INR 15,000 per customer."
"It's an expensive product. For what they are providing in terms of capabilities and features for the price, I would rate the pricing an eight out of ten."
"Its price is sometimes higher."
"The pricing is fine."
"You don't have to pay for the license. You have to pay for the time you use it."
"It's a cost-effective solution."
"The product has good pricing."
"In terms of licenses, there is a return on investment in that area."
"The price is cheaper than other competitors. I would rate the cost as one out of five."
"Robocorp is much better in terms of pricing compared to UiPath."
"The solution is a very affordable price."
