We performed a comparison between Blue Prism and Blue Prism Cloud based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two Robotic Process Automation (RPA) solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."The only good thing about Blue Prism is the execution speed."
"Being able to create an object and use it for multiple processes has been very useful for us."
"The solution has cross-application features where it can be setup with SAP, email, or SharePoint."
"Access to the SQL database allows for extra capabilities."
"It is not just for coders, as you can have a diagrammatic representation of the process."
"With Blue Prism, you automate the back-end processes. Blue Prism is more like service-side automation. It is not off-circuit automation. It is more like attended automation."
"My company decided to go with Blue Prism because of the security it provides."
"I like the error handling, it's very good."
"The solution works well overall."
"This product has additional functionality over Blue Prism Cloud Enterprise."
"The tool saves us from repetitive and mundane tasks. We don’t have to write, record or copy data from Excel. The product helps us save time. We save money as well since people doing this task are on various other automation tasks. The chance for repetitive entries is also reduced because the tool helps us make one-time entries."
"Blue Prism Cloud is a stable solution."
"The user performance is the most valuable feature."
"The most valuable feature of Blue Prism's Virtual Workforce is that it is quite stable."
"The solution is very complete. It's a good solution, for the kind of features that they offer."
"There is no latency in the product."
"Blue Prism is a little behind Automation Anywhere in the topics related to maintenance and report building."
"Occasionally, there may be stability issues where certain nodes begin to behave erratically and produce errors."
"We would like to see some desktop automation, although we have been told that the product is not going to be taken in that direction."
"I would like to see a cloud version of Blue Prism available. Both cloud and on-premise options would be beneficial, as they would reduce maintenance costs. I'm using the Blue Prism desktop, which is still in the initial stages. I want enhancements in the Object Explorer and Application Model features to ensure stability in upcoming versions. I have suggested a few ideas, such as incorporating triggering mechanisms, but I haven't seen them implemented yet."
"They can add a reporting feature."
"I believe that there could be more community support, or there could be more support for developers like us from Blue Prism. Blue Prism provides a lot of documentation, but there is a lack of support."
"The upgrades could be managed better. I would also like to see more true AI development and machine learning."
"My clients report that there is a little bit of a challenge regarding the cost-benefit ratio."
"The solution is unable to read some UI components in legacy systems."
"Having more AI functionality would be an improvement."
"If Blue Prism could integrate into Azure SQL because it's essentially an on-prem code, on infrastructure as a service. So, Blue Prism has moved the infrastructure into the cloud, but they haven't necessarily moved the application into cloud-native."
"Lacking advance features like CIO and optical character recognition"
"I personally would like the solution to be supporting more languages."
"Blue Prism Cloud's pricing needs to be improved because it is a little bit more costly than other automation tools like UIPath."
"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."
"Selecting the right business processes that are stable enough to automate can be challenging."
