Quotes From Members
We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"We find the stability and the ease of reusing code design valuable.""Being able to create an object and use it for multiple processes has been very useful for us.""The entire tool is valuable because it is an enterprise tool. It is on par with other tools like Automation Anywhere or UiPath with the OCR/ICR facilities, analytics, and the entire package for enterprise-level security. It has the highest level of security as compared to any other tool.""If there is a task that Blue Prism cannot do out of the box, Blue Prism provides me the facility of designing one and integrating it into the application. This process is called Visual Basic Objects.""One key feature is the workflow design is able to be customized according to the way that you want the automation to work.""Blue Prism provides both on-premises and cloud versions.""As a developer, I liked the layout and UI, specifically referring to testing. I was able to watch the process through stages.""The solution enables process creation and is object oriented."

"It's pretty straightforward to set up.""The most valuable feature of the solution is its versatility.""We always use the product for end-to-end automation test cases."

More Inflectra Rapise Pros →

Cons
"The OCR capability, along with the connectivity with some of the legacy tools, needs to be improved.""Its pricing is sometimes higher. Its price can be better. Its presale support should be increased. Currently, its presale support is very less. System integrators generally position Blue Prism in front of customers. Though they have an ecosystem, they don't have people who can train for the partner ecosystem. They have to increase the presales consultants for partners. In addition, their L1 and L2 support can also be improved.""Our primary challenge at present is that we are finding it difficult to get additional business insights into existing processes so that we can identify where we need to improve.""The control room is its worst feature. It can be laggy, and it is not as user-friendly. We're with staying Blue Prism, but we're moving it from on-premises to Microsoft cloud for cost savings. We looked into Blue Prism cloud. It has a lot of features, but it comes with a lot of costs. Right now, we have six spots, and we're only at 13% utilization. The cost didn't really weigh out for us for moving to Blue Prism cloud, but on-premises, it is working for what we need.""It's not very easy to use. There is some learning curve that you need to manage as an individual.""I have found that community support is lacking for this solution compared to competitors.""We had a lot of challenges managing authentication and reusing or using external authentication providers.""If this solution had a framework for exception handling then it would be very helpful."

More Blue Prism Cons →

"It would be good if there could be more integration of Inflectra Rapise, since not all customers use the same tool for test management and automation integration.""The maintenance is very difficult. We've only been using the platform for three months, so I'm not sure if that will continue, but right now it's an observation I've had.""Inflectra Rapise needs to expand its ability."

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."
  • "Our licensing fees are approximately $5,000 USD per year."
  • "The licensing fees are low compared to other tools."
  • "Blue Prism is less expensive than some of the other RPA solutions."
  • More Blue Prism Pricing and Cost Advice →

  • "We pay no more than $50 annually for support of each one of the licenses."
  • "I rate the product's price an eight on a scale of one to ten, where ten means very good pricing."
