Featured Reviews

Keith Mcdowell - PeerSpot reviewer
It helps us save on staff costs
I rate Blue Prism Cloud eight out of 10 for ease of setup. It's a cloud-based solution, so it isn't hard to set up. The deployment time is hard to quantify because I work for the government, and we need to go through all these internal reviews, but the technical part takes three to four weeks. The biggest challenge is security because we need to integrate it with Active Directory and set up VPN tunnels, security profiles, etc. We deployed Blue Prism in-house and used three people to set it up. One solution engineer is enough to maintain it.

Helps us in pulling rates and completing back-office RPA work for banks and credit unions
I rate the solution a nine out of ten. The solution is good, and I can't think of something that needs to be included in the next release or that needs to be improved. I advise users considering the solution to go through the trial and verify that it fits their needs.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"The most valuable feature of a non-programmer is diagrams. Someone from an IT background can find it easier to start automation."
"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."
"It's easy to use, the interface, the the the the queries is which we use. It's user friendly."
"The platform is user-friendly and easy to learn in a low-code environment."
"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."
"Decipher has been a valuable feature that many of our clients use to extract information from documents."
"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."
"The product's initial setup phase is straightforward and easy to use."
"Ability to calculate the ROI on the jobs that are running."
"The solution is inexpensive compared to many other solutions in the market."
 

Cons

"Improvement should be per customer requirements."
"I would like to see a web-based control room, rather than the one that is in-built with the desktop version."
"Blue Prism Cloud's pricing needs to be improved because it is a little bit more costly than other automation tools like UIPath."
"The pricing was a bit high, from what I understand. That might have played a role in the decision to migrate to another solution."
"It takes a while to get up and running."
"There are a few smart services that are not available in Blue Prism. For example, Excel sheets that are converted into a CS sheet have limitations with the number of columns when imported. This could be improved."
"We have limited integrations in place, and my objective is to integrate Sentinel. However, there are constraints as some individuals have only one or two options for SIM integration solutions. Given the urgency of quick resolutions in today's landscape, prevention and detection are crucial. While these measures provide significant security, it's equally important to focus on response and recovery. In the case of a ransomware attack, it's not enough to solely prevent and detect. Once detection is in place, a response model should be implemented to automate the process and minimize the time required for tasks, such as creating investigation reports. In the past, it would take approximately seven to eight days to create an investigation report for a specific attack, including writing a case study. This process can be streamlined and improved through the automation of contextual investigation reports. By saving base templates and content, including screenshots and attack details, automation can be achieved. We are currently working on integrating Microsoft WAF and Excel for this purpose, but having a built-in tool would be ideal."
"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."
"There is a learning curve, and some training could be included to bring users up to speed."
"Would like to see more additions to the library."
"The stability of the product has certain shortcomings, making it an area where improvements are required."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"It is highly-priced."
"I am not sure how we are set up today, but I recall we had an annual License."
"I rate the platform’s pricing a seven out of ten."
"Blue Prism Cloud's cost is very high."
"The licensing of the solution is on a subscription-based model and costs around 4,999 for one bot's license. If someone wants to increase the number of bots you want from Blue Prism, then they provide a discount."
"When compared with UiPath, I believe it will be difficult for Blue Prism to maintain its market share."
"The licensing structure is complex and the minimum contract length is three years."
"There are many RPA solutions available from different vendors and the pricing for Blue Prism is competitive."
"The tool is expensive."
