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.

Has limited functionality, logging uses extensive resources; automation replay is great
This solution is not very user-friendly and I would not recommend it for robotic platforms. It has limited functionality and the logging takes over 1,000 GB. As a result, each year we need to increase the size of the database and create a workaround by archiving logs. It impacts performance and is a significant pain point for us. The logging is not user-friendly from an architect's perspective. The reporting is a mess in INTELLIBOT, even the developers are struggling to identify the issues and there are also problems when there are two cases hitting the queue.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"There is no latency in the product."
"Blue Prism Cloud is an easy to access and user-friendly solution."
"The product itself is quite mature."
"It’s scalable."
"This product has additional functionality over Blue Prism Cloud Enterprise."
"It's easy to use, the interface, the the the the queries is which we use. It's user friendly."
"One of the most valuable features is automating manual and repetitive business processes, streamlining operations and reducing manual labour."
"Once it does the monitor, it collects the respective data and creates an output that is required for reconfiguration."
"The replay of the automation is an awesome feature."
"It is a stable product. We have been using it for 15 months now, and there have been no issues."
"For machine learning, there is an in-built document and text classification feature in INTELLIBOT. That is unlike other RPA tools where one needs to procure a separate license. Besides this, the application is easy to use. One valuable feature is the drag-and-drop feature for AI and email intelligence. It is easier than using UiPath's IQ bot."
"The return on investment is pretty good because the license cost is cheaper than other RPA tools in the market."
"I have found the most valuable feature to be the straightforward visual editor, it has close to no code required. It allowed us to deploy the email monitoring in this couple of weeks."
"There's a helpful community available through the portal."
"This solution is easy to use and requires little coding knowledge."
 

Cons

"The issue is that it is not dynamic or intelligent."
"Lacking advance features like CIO and optical character recognition"
"It would be useful if some of the information protocols came built within the app instead having to create them."
"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."
"I personally would like the solution to be supporting more languages."
"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."
"Blue Prism is slightly difficult for the non-technical user."
"There is room for improvement in the speed."
"The trigger actions need to be more robust."
"The first pain point of INTELLIBOT was with the development. Whenever the company developed any command, they published it directly onto their SQL site, and our current automation got auto-updated. The second pain point was with the action set. It could be stronger. Moreover, if I am doing UiPath automation, I have to do it with the Internal Report for now."
"I would like to see the cognitive marketing platform improved."
"Has limited functionality and uses extensive resources."
"The solution is heavily dependant on scripts, such as JavaScript or any other external script that needs to be a part of the system. If they want to grow, the scripting dependency should go away. They should have built-in libraries to pull in work from."
"A couple of times, we noticed that some bugs caused the bot to go in the wrong flow."
"Currently, there are not many documents available on Google that explain each activity and how to use it or how to use the parameters and pass values."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"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."
"Pricing can be negotiated in situations where there will be heavy usage."
"It is highly-priced."
"The pricing for Blue Prism Cloud is two out of ten because it's higher than every other technology. My company is on a three-year Blue Prism Cloud license."
"The default configuration does not include large-scale log injection, but if you require, such integration, it may incur additional costs per gigabyte. I don't have the exact pricing information for log injection, but it is possible that it varies depending on the volume of data. While there may be a basic service included, additional features might come at an extra cost. When working with cloud environments like VMs, calculating costs involves considering factors such as usage duration, network traffic, inbound and outbound data transfer, as well as network access control. The pricing structure for cloud coverage solutions follows a similar pattern, although specific pricing details would need to be obtained separately."
"The pricing is fine."
"Though I don't have many details, I think Blue Prism Cloud is an expensive product compared to the other tools in the market since you need to pay for resources like machines."
"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."
"At the time, one license was $5,000 USD. If we needed to negotiate for more licenses, we could negotiate a bit on the price."
"INTELLIBOT with the DPA costs approximately $1,500 USD."
"It is quite cheap. In the year 2019, it was $1000 for a year."
"The solution requires a license and we purchased one annually. We were satisfied with the price."
