Quotes From Members
We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"Blue Prism is well known for being used in banking and security organizations. Its security is superior compared to UiPath and other RPA tools.""The platform is user-friendly and easy to learn in a low-code environment.""The corporate leverage is better with Blue Prism. They just present better in a large corporation. It's easier to sell suits and ties than it is sneakers and jeans in financial institutions. That's not really about the application per se; it's the perception.""The ease of building automation and the development environment""Blue Prism Cloud is an easy to access and user-friendly solution.""This product has additional functionality over Blue Prism Cloud Enterprise.""The most valuable feature is the speed at which we are able to implement solutions that can interact through the user interface in the same way that a human being would.""The most valuable feature of Blue Prism's Virtual Workforce is that it is quite stable."

More Blue Prism Cloud Pros →

"The most valuable feature is the rapid deployment of multiple bots.""The solution seems to offer high stability. We haven't seen any bugs or glitches. It doesn't crash or freeze.""They recently released the newest version that has a good program flow, quality, and blueprints that are all good improvements to the automation. They also have good integration with SAP.""The solution has been very user-friendly.""The system is stable and very little maintenance is required, assuming the bots process is perfectly designed.""The solution is very manageable.""The entire backend system structure is something that I found really valuable.""The product has increased efficiency and reduced the time spent on tasks."

Cons
"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.""The pricing of the solution could be improved. It's a bit expensive right now. They should work to make it more competitive.""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.""Improvement should be per customer requirements.""It would be useful if some of the information protocols came built within the app instead having to create them.""I believe they need to become more competitive within the market in order to maintain their market share. We were essentially a Blue Prism shop and sold Blue Prism, but because of the price point, many clients are now looking at competitors.""Several things need improvement, like ease-of-use, adding tended robots, adding process recording, and updating the look and feel so it seems modern.""Blue Prism is slightly difficult for the non-technical user."

More Blue Prism Cloud Cons →

"The deployment could be made a little bit easier.""The tool must execute remedial actions to resolve problems before they cause significant incidents.""The licensing schemes could be more competitive. They need to be much more flexible in their pricing.""The dashboard needs improvement. For Bot Farm, the visualization is not that good compared to the main Automation Anywhere dashboard.""The CL command poses an issue during the process of data conversion, accuracy, data loss and the assessment of certain data as false.""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.""When somebody is just learning this product it can be difficult for them to understand, so improvements to the user interface would be helpful.""Sometimes I feel like it doesn't work properly and we are not able to provide the dexterity needed."

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."

    The Thoughtonomy Virtual Workforce is a highly flexible intelligent automation platform. It uses software to replicate the way people work in existing applications and systems, the processes they follow, and the decisions they make, to deliver automation without disruption.

    BotFarm is an enterprise-level robotic process automation (RPA) solution. What is unique about BotFarm is that users can buy RPA processes based on demand and not be confined to a license or a strict capacity structure. BotFarm, a robust product of Automation Anywhere, is the only RPA solution that allows users to buy only the products they need when they need them. BotFarm allows users to launch all the robots they need to get tasks completed sooner and more efficiently than many other products in the marketplace today.

    • Fast: Deployed bots can complete tasks significantly faster than any human component, and with less error.

    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.”
