Pros
"Blue Prism Cloud is a stable solution.""We can save on staff costs by automating processes.""This product has additional functionality over Blue Prism Cloud Enterprise.""The platform is user-friendly and easy to learn in a low-code environment.""With Blue Prism, I like the feature that you build, I don't know the exact name now, but blocks or standards can be reduced later. You configure, for example, the CRM system, and you create a standardized manner of inputting data into the CRM system that you can reuse later. I'm not sure what that's called, but I enjoy it whether it's a feature or not.""It's easy to use, the interface, the the the the queries is which we use. It's user friendly.""The solution works well overall.""Blue Prism is able to scale up at an enterprise-level. It's what I used when I was working for a big bank in Belgium."

"Automation Anywhere has good document extraction features where it can learn patterns.""The dashboards are quite good, especially on the latest versions.""The solution has been very user-friendly.""The solution seems to offer high stability. We haven't seen any bugs or glitches. It doesn't crash or freeze.""One of the most valuable features is the solution's simple automation regarding object cloning and strings variables.""The solution has very good processes. It's very easy to deploy and has good reviews on it. It offers good automation and the solution has very good developers working on it.""BotFarm has been working perfectly fine with our business model. Its scalability is the most valuable feature. We can easily scale out bots on a need basis. Portability is another valuable feature. We work with different payment systems like Visa and MasterCard and have bots for them. Because of BotFarm, we are able to reuse these bots.""Productivity increased far more than thirty percent."

Cons
"I think that there are some improvements in the product performance that are needed in Blue Prism Cloud...The initial setup of the product needs a lot of time and effort.""It would be useful if some of the information protocols came built within the app instead having to create them.""They should work on the solution's pricing.""The tool’s customer support should improve. There were instances where I tried to call them up and was put on hold. However, they do revert back through emails once a ticket has been issued. They should be quick with their responses on calls.""The vendor does not make their pricing clear when you are searching for it, which is something that needs to be improved.""Blue Prism Cloud could improve by having more innovations for the solution, such as more capability. I am looking for cloud-based services, such as Power Automate that we can recommend for cloud customers. UiPath and Automation Anywhere have more innovation in their solution.""Blue Prism Cloud needs to improve support, though documentation is available online. It is not detailed, which does not help.""The version control could be improved and made consistent. There is a discrepancy between the versions on premise and the cloud versions."

More Blue Prism Cloud Cons →

"There should be more support for developing in environments such as Citrix and Linux.""Normally we need to monitor the solution using an AWS console and the control room. We would like to have a standardized dashboard to see all the information in one place.""The CL command poses an issue during the process of data conversion, accuracy, data loss and the assessment of certain data as false.""The licensing schemes could be more competitive. They need to be much more flexible in their pricing.""The OCR tool, the optical character recognition tool, could be more efficient.""The image processing capabilities definitely need to be improved.""I would like to be able to access BotForm using a mobile app.""The new version is not very stable. Sometimes I can't use the recording sound."

Pricing and Cost Advice
  • "Pricing can be negotiated in situations where there will be heavy usage."

  • "There are many RPA solutions available from different vendors and the pricing for Blue Prism is competitive."

    Reviews from Real Users

    Akshay P., Associate Systems Analyst at NSEiT Limited, relates, “It is very easy, simple. You're working on a notepad, and you don't need to know programming to work on this. The dashboards are quite good, especially on the latest versions.”

    A Digital Strategy Manager at an energy/utilities company shares, “The scalability is the solution's most valuable aspect. The reason Bot Farm is used is to have only one license available whenever you have a spike in the transactions. That is a core feature. That is something which we are using to the maximum. It's working well due to the fact that the solution use case is quite structured.”

    A Senior RPA Developer at a tech services company tells us, “The solution is great to automate any repetitive tasks, which you might do on a daily basis. For example, the organization may need to be generating invoices or extracting data from PDF files daily. It is very versatile in what you can automate. This has improved my organization by cutting down on repetitive tasks that now can be automated.”
