We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.

Pros
"The technical support team of Blue Prism Cloud is very good...I rate the support a ten out of ten.""Blue Prism Cloud is a stable solution.""It’s scalable.""The user performance is the most valuable feature.""Its AI features allow customers to find specific documents via an index.""The solution works well overall.""The most valuable feature is security.""The product itself is quite mature."

"What I like the most about UiPath is that we can build custom activities. If we want to customize functions based on our logic or use case, we can do that.""In the dynamic world of DeFi, where integrated financial processes and smart contracts are the norm, UiPath's workflow automation capabilities provide us with a valuable advantage.""The option to record processes is the most important feature of UiPath. We can use it to record every action automatically and it is then converted to a workflow. This workflow defines the complete set of processes so that we can automate every requirement.""The automation saves on manual labor.""UiPath's most valuable feature is its ability to view and extract any data throughout the entire development process in the automation framework.""It is very easy to develop and deploy. It is easy to work with different applications at the same time. For example, I can read an Excel file and then go to SAP or any other platform. I can then open Outlook and send an email from Outlook. I can even use Teams. Being able to combine all these applications is the main thing that I like.""The most valuable feature is the ability to utilize UiPath beyond our scheduled work hours, making it available 24 hours a day.""I like the Orchestrator and the AI Center. The AI Center has many pre-trained trained models you can adapt to your requirements."

Cons
"The AI part is currently missing in Blue Prism Studio... It would be good if the AI part is included in Blue Prism Studio, which can make it much more efficient and good to work.""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.""There's a need to deal with unstructured input with RPA.""The product’s pricing needs improvement.""The vendor does not make their pricing clear when you are searching for it, which is something that needs to be improved.""I wouldn't call Blue Prism user-friendly. It's one of its downfalls. They would benefit from having drag and drop functionality, for example. It would make them a strong competitor in the space. There needs to be less reliance on coding for customization, similar to Microsoft's Power Automate.""The product’s licensing cost is expensive compared to other tools in the market.""They should work on the solution's pricing."

More Blue Prism Cloud Cons →

"We'd like more onboarding features for new people.""One feature I think it needs - from a documentation perspective - is the ability to easily extract variable details and data... Sometimes it's difficult to extract those, and if you're not tracking them while you build, you can quickly get into 200 to 300 variables in use, especially using the RE Framework where you're passing workflow arguments in and out. I would like to see something like that.""I'm a developer and I'll move things around and they'll change order, or I'll try to save something and it won't save the first time. I'll have to open something twice, open something three times. I've got a list. I'm working out quirks with UiPath.""UiPath needs to incorporate French and Portuguese language-based training. It is not easy for people without an IT background.""We ran into issues during the upgrade. It was not warned before.""The UiPath tool doesn’t provide an option to resize the activities as per wish, especially if the activity is a big box.""For a few of the projects, we have saved money, however, on a few of these projects we've noticed less revenue. The orchestration cost is a bit higher when we are working on smaller projects.""The studio design is a little different. If you go from one tool to the next, you might be a little shocked at how things are organized."

Pricing and Cost Advice
  • "Pricing can be negotiated in situations where there will be heavy usage."
  • "The licensing structure is complex and the minimum contract length is three years."
  • "We pay about $15,000 per quarter in licensing costs. We don't have to pay for any other extra costs. There isn't, for example, an extra cost for technical support. We just pay the licensing."
  • "There are many RPA solutions available from different vendors and the pricing for Blue Prism is competitive."
  • "Annual licensing costs were somewhere between $5,000 - $10,000 for the development tool. For the control tower, I think fees were about $50,000 annually."
  • "This solution comes at a medium to high price point. They need to work on their pricing to enable smaller enterprises to get the benefit of using the product."
  • "When compared with UiPath, I believe it will be difficult for Blue Prism to maintain its market share."
  • "Blue Prism comes at a higher price point compared to other solutions on the market."
  • More Blue Prism Cloud Pricing and Cost Advice →

  • "It costs much less and it does much more than the competitors' solutions."
  • "The pricing differs on the requirements. If there is a huge purchase, then we get a discount. There is not a fixed pricing of the product."
  • "If you want to do a demo trial, it is a 30 days free."
  • "The community edition is completely free. Then, people say, "There is nothing to lose, let me try it.""
  • "There are operational benefits in terms of time savings and user satisfaction of not having to do menial, repetitive tasks."
  • "Traditionally, Automation Anywhere and Blue Prism are the biggest things competing against UiPath. Those are usually what most of the clients lean towards, if they see a cheaper licensing option. Clients choose UiPath because it's easier to deploy and learn within their teams."
  • "We saw ROI in 15 days."
  • "They give it away in the community edition for free, so I use it at home."
