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.

Automation has reduced manual reporting tasks and improved delivery speed
Software AG ARIS Robotic Process Automation has an opportunity to be improved in many ways, especially with AI. I see some improvements there and it can definitely be enhanced. Maybe even leveraging the cloud product rather than having Software AG ARIS Robotic Process Automation running on your local network would help. Because now you need to connect through a VPN. I understand because organizations don't want to share their data. However, using it as a subscription service can help to connect from anywhere. But then you just need to make sure that the data also complies with the POPI Act and all of those other acts for protecting the data.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"We use Blue Prism for automating business tools related to HR and finance by submitting human interaction from the computer."
"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."
"The ease of development is the most valuable, with standard VBOs being pretty useful with Excel and different things, and our custom developments for SAP and similar systems are easy to set up and quick to get going."
"You don't need to be a technical developer to develop in Blue Prism, you follow the natural way you have developed."
"The performance is very good and it is a valuable feature."
"Blue Prism is a mature, stable product with lots of built-in features."
"I use the basic features that are very useful."
"I like the cloud features such as IADA and Decipher."
"The automation features of Software AG ARIS Robotic Process Automation have assisted us to deliver quickly, especially if you have captured everything on ARIS, then you just need to run a report, and some of the elements are automated."
 

Cons

"The control room is still the desktop version, which restricts access. You can't really access it from anywhere."
"The only issue I have found in Blue Prism is an archiving issue once you have a huge database size, so the archiving is quite slow on Blue Prism's side."
"If you are looking into processing invoices then Blue Prism is not the tool that I would choose because the others have better OCR capabilities."
"The upgrades could be managed better. I would also like to see more true AI development and machine learning."
"From a monitoring perspective, the way the screens are set up, or the reporting within Blue Prism, is not really user-friendly. You need a technical person to basically put that up. It's not necessarily easily viewable."
"Blue Prism can improve on the ease of use of its graphic user interface(GUI)."
"Blue Prism needs to work in a web-based account."
"The reporting system, specifically the system admin reporting could be improved."
"Software AG ARIS Robotic Process Automation has an opportunity to be improved in many ways, especially with AI."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Blue Prism is a bit higher priced compared to other payment-related or investment-related solutions. At the same time, it also provides more security than those solutions, specifically for the banking and insurance sectors."
"The pricing is really good for an enterprise-level solution. It's quite scalable and it's quite comparable with the market."
"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 license for Blue Prism is very straightforward, we only need one license."
"Our customers pay for an annual license."
"The licensing fees are low compared to other tools."
"Blue Prism is less expensive than some of the other RPA solutions."
"In the Philippines, fewer companies are using Blue Prism because of its cost. I don't know the price, but I know that its price is higher than UiPath."
