Quotes From Members
We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"If I look at the top four, I believe it is far more user-friendly than the other competition.""The most valuable feature is security.""This product has additional functionality over Blue Prism Cloud Enterprise.""The primary focus lies in integrating the three major cloud platforms with Blue Prism Cloud: Microsoft Azure, Amazon AWS, and GCP. This integration goes beyond security measures for the primary template policies. It also includes addressing compliance requirements. For instance, I can incorporate specific compliance templates and policies generated in Blue Prism and integrate them with local templates for ISO 27001 and GDPR, particularly concerning software tools and headsets. This integration eliminates the need for auditing and reviewing technical details individually. Instead, I can simply examine the container report. This approach proves beneficial when clients heavily rely on container environments.""I would say that the stability of Blue Prism is superior to any of the competing products because of the maintainability of the features and the openness of the tool.""Decipher has been a valuable feature that many of our clients use to extract information from documents.""Blue Prism offers the whole package for LPR developers. It's a useful tool to automate anything. As an LPR developer, I think the most important feature is that it lets you get anything into blocks of code that you can use anywhere.""The ease of building automation and the development environment"

"Scalability is fine. It is pretty nice.""The most valuable feature of SAP Contextor is that everyone is in one place in the program that I need.""Contextor is a good solution for a Citrix environment. It's the first with this tool. Other tools provide the same functionality, but not with the Citrix environment.""The standout features of SAP Intelligent RPA are its flexibility and integration capabilities.""The initial setup of SAP Contextor is easy.""Most of the details are already in the help portal and SAP notes are available. It is well documented as part of the product support.""It is remarkably easy to configure and code, and it doesn't require an extensive technical background or coding expertise."

Cons
"The vendor does not make their pricing clear when you are searching for it, which is something that needs to be improved.""Blue Prism might consider adding package options to allow users to come onboard in different ways that meet their needs rather than buying in to the whole package.""The pricing of the solution could be improved. It's a bit expensive right now. They should work to make it more competitive.""Blue Prism Cloud's pricing needs to be improved because it is a little bit more costly than other automation tools like UIPath.""The version control could be improved and made consistent. There is a discrepancy between the versions on premise and the cloud versions.""Improvement should be per customer requirements.""They should improve the user-friendliness and they should change their business model.""Several things need improvement, like ease-of-use, adding tended robots, adding process recording, and updating the look and feel so it seems modern."

More Blue Prism Cloud Cons →

"One way SAP Intelligent RPA could improve is by integrating built-in DI services for document processing.""The initial setup is of medium complexity. It is neither too hard nor too simple. You need some background in SAP and an understanding of it.""For potential features or improvements, one aspect I would suggest enhancing is the flexibility of the extraction process.""I would like to see a better capacity for unstructured data, for example, PDF, or text within images.""I found that the SAP scripting of a program is easier than SAP Contextor.""There should be more of an error, like a proper error feature, in future releases. Sometimes, we don't understand why that automation is not learning what, like, where it is stuck, or what is the reason like, or what is the criteria we are missing to add. So a proper error message would be helpful.""SAP Contextor could improve by automating some processes."

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 →

  • "This is not a tool or software with a license as others are. The SaaS model is based on the usage of the tool."
  • "The initial cost might seem higher, but over time, with continued use over five or ten years, the cost tends to decrease, making it a more economical choice."
  • "The pricing is not that expensive. It is manageable."
  • "It all comes with a bundle right now. Having advanced features, it is competitively priced."
