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.

Using Python in Robocorp enhances performance
In terms of licenses, there is a return on investment in that area. Other products are charged based on the licenses. However, Robocorp is not doing it that way. They are charging based on a run basis. Therefore, in that way, the company might benefit in terms of license costs and the return on investment, considering what they are putting in and what they are getting out of it.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"From technical perspective, Blue Prism is pretty good."
"This solution has helped us become more efficient, as we have been able to automate certain processes, up to 85% of the work in some claims processing areas."
"There has been a huge amount of cost savings and freeing up, and employees got more vacation time allotted as a direct result of the time saved by RPA."
"The most valuable feature is that people with zero coding knowledge can use Blue Prism very well."
"Blue Prism is highly scalable and reliable."
"This solution has allowed us to free up time for more "value add" tasks, increased quality through a reduction in data entry errors, and has benefitted us with shorter turnaround times for some processes."
"Access to the SQL database allows for extra capabilities."
"It's fast to get up and running if you use a cloud deployment."
"The price is good."
"It offers high scalability and enables automation in ways that haven't been possible before."
"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."
"Time complexity is reduced and the execution speed is much higher."
"Robocorp is based on Python, so you can use Python scripts and create libraries for your use cases. Building libraries and custom scripts for a particular client and general use cases is easy. We can reuse those scripts for other clients, so we start seeing benefits quickly."
"I have worked with UiPath and Automation Anywhere previously. Robocorp offers an improved development style and support as well as flexibility of its tools. You can easily develop custom libraries in Robocorp."
"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."
"The product has a valuable business process automation feature."
 

Cons

"Blue Prism can improve on the ease of use of its graphic user interface(GUI)."
"Blue Prism is a little behind Automation Anywhere in the topics related to maintenance and report building."
"Its front end is not very good for things like screen scraping. UiPath and AA are very good for that. Blue Prism's license is costlier than UiPath and AA. They should be improving its price. Its artificial intelligence and cognitive features are not that strong enough. Cognitive automation should be their next area of improvement. The decoding of the bot is a highly painful activity, and this is an area of improvement for Blue Prism. It is tough to find variables and get the code in place. You have to open the whole bonnet of the car to get things in place. Their training should also be improved. UiPath and AA have their learning communities. They provide free of cost basic certification. As a result, you get trained workforce in the market that can directly work on projects, but this is not the case with Blue Prism. It is costly to get the resources trained, which increases the overall cost of getting a resource for Blue Prism. Their tech support can also be improved. Many times, the issues that should have been addressed by L1 have gone to L2."
"Blue Prism is lagging in terms of artificial intelligence. There is no artificial intelligence in version 4 or 5, which most people are still using as far as I'm aware."
"There are some new tools on the market that work better than Blue Prism. When Blue Prism receives information I have found other RPA solutions refresh the application better."
"We would like to see intelligent process automation that integrates RPA and machine learning."
"I believe that there could be more community support, or there could be more support for developers like us from Blue Prism."
"The domain in regards to cognitive abilities and the use of processing activity needs improvement. They have added this capability, but that's not really big in the public. It is more also available for gold partners. So they should improve the user activity for the public or even the regular customer."
"I preferred the user interface in the older versions. When troubleshooting, it's sometimes hard to find details about where things went wrong. You need to search a little harder. It takes more clicks to get to where you want to go. It can be somewhat confusing. When you run a process that fails, it takes you somewhere you may not expect."
"The platform's documentation could be better."
"The standard libraries in Robocorp should be more advanced."
"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."
"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."
"An additional feature I'm looking for in Robocorp is SAP automation."
"The solution could be more stable."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"With Blue Prism, there are no additional fees"
"The licensing is approximately $1,100."
"It is expensive for us. It should be cheaper for a market like ours. We are based in India."
"To use Blue Prism, there is a need to pay INR 15,000 per customer."
"Blue Prism is pretty steep compared to the others, much more than Automation Anywhere."
"I would rate the solution's pricing a seven out of ten."
"The price is on par with other products in the market."
"Its license is costlier than UiPath and AA. They should improve its price. We have a two-year contract with them."
"Robocorp is much better in terms of pricing compared to UiPath."
"The price is cheaper than other competitors. I would rate the cost as one out of five."
"You don't have to pay for the license. You have to pay for the time you use it."
"The product has good pricing."
"The solution is a very affordable price."
"It's a cost-effective solution."
"In terms of licenses, there is a return on investment in that area."
