Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"The automation provided by this solution has saved us a lot of time.""Pattern recognition ultimately helps us to circumvent the problems in dealing with format variability in documents and allows us to capture the right data."

"Access to the SQL database allows for extra capabilities.""It is a stable solution.""Blue Prism provides both on-premises and cloud versions.""The only good thing about Blue Prism is the execution speed.""As a developer, I liked the layout and UI, specifically referring to testing. I was able to watch the process through stages.""The most valuable feature is the ability to do surface automation, allowing interaction with legacy systems where terminal emulation is still in use.""The only feature that stands out in Blue Prism, as compared to other tools, is security. This is the only reason for still having Blue Prism in our bucket. It is very secure and reliable, and it has also been in the market for a very long time. We automated a lot of federal and government automation processes very recently with this solution.""My company decided to go with Blue Prism because of the security it provides."

Cons
"It would be very helpful to have a simple and extensive training guide, or training model, to help learn how to work with the product.""We would like to see the overall accuracy increase from approximately 70% to perhaps 85%."

More AntWorks CMR+ Cons →

"If this solution had a framework for exception handling then it would be very helpful.""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.""For developers, they should have some kind of recording feature.""Emerging technologies adoption is a challenge for every organization, especially the products which address productivity/automation.""The solution can improve by having a free license for evaluation purposes.""Blue Prism can improve a lot. The interaction with Google Chrome can be massively improved. I know in the next version there are slight improvements. We don't know how much, but we are comparing them. At this moment, Google Chrome is a massive issue within the toolset, due to the way Google Chrome receives updates regularly but Blue Prism is unable to cope. The spy method of Google Chrome is not as user-friendly as Internet Explorer is. However, Internet Explorer is being discontinued from their support, therefore it's not the best browser to be using. This has caused us major issues in the last six months.""The activities that we do are a bit difficult to do in Blue Prism as compared to UiPath. UiPath provides create activities and create packages related to AI analytical skills. This is something that Blue Prism doesn't have.""I would like to see the vendor improve the efficiency of Blue Prism interaction with applications."

  • More AntWorks CMR+ Pricing and Cost Advice →

  • "Blue Prism is pretty steep compared to the others, much more than Automation Anywhere."
  • "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."
  • "Other than your infrastructure, in terms of servers that you have to set up, I don't think that there are any costs in addition to the standard licensing fees."
  • "Compared to other tools on the market, it is one of the most expensive."
  • "The pricing is really good for an enterprise-level solution. It's quite scalable and it's quite comparable with the market."
