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.

Helped us identify areas where frontline staff aren't following standard procedures or using unexpected systems, giving us better insight into our end users' workflows

To analyze and make sense of the data generated by Kryon process discovery can be a lot of effort. It's not as automatic as some might think. It really depends on how many processes you have and how actively you use them. But the scalability aspect isn't necessarily about deployment or technical maintenance. It's really about how you analyze and gain insights from the data gathering. I'd rate the scalability a seven out of ten because the solution has been scaling well for a long time. It's very easy to deploy. But getting value out of it at scale can be a challenge, just like with any deployment. We use it mainly for process discovery. We actually proceed it from different teams. So, we have 15 licenses that we rotate with different people, actually through different teams. So, we do discovery for the online team; we gather the results after about two weeks to a month. We analyze those results, and then we deploy them again on the analytics team. We regularly deploy it to different teams. So, it's in constant use. It just runs on the systems through discovery mode most of the time.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The solution is very complete. It's a good solution, for the kind of features that they offer."

"The most valuable feature is the speed at which we are able to implement solutions that can interact through the user interface in the same way that a human being would."

"The most valuable feature is security."

"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."

"We used it for process automation."

"The product itself is quite mature."

"It is more secure for complex implementations."

"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."

More Blue Prism Cloud pros

"The user-friendly environment allows for easy learning, and the end-to-end workflow management is excellent."

"I like Kryon RPA's ability to use automated and manual processes with any bot."

"The most valuable features for our organization are the automatic processes which save main power in the back office."

"The number of commands it gives us to edit and modify is really good. It also captures screen activities and plays them back."

"We use PowerBuilder as our application building codex. Kryon adds flexibility when we have the functionality of SQL, where we can take sets of data out of the back-end and run complex computations or do a bunch of data validations inside the wizard. It can save us sometimes dozens of steps, then if we were to try and do those same reviews using the user interface completely. The balance that we get from using Kryon RPA, alongside being able to screen scrape and frequent screen, gives us an advantage that we haven't had previously with any of our other attempts at robotic process automation."

"As a business user, it's so easy to use. With the recording of the processes, we didn't need to hire a specific developer... we are able to build most of our processes without having to develop the actual development skillset... the simplicity is the biggest win."

"Kryon RPA is very stable - we've not had many disruptions, and the product is updated regularly."

"The recording capability is valuable because of the amount of data it captures automatically. It's quite good. It means less development, and fewer configuration settings to fill in after you're done."

Cons

"The cost is a bit high. Other tools are much cheaper."

"Blue Prism is slightly difficult for the non-technical user."

"I personally would like the solution to be supporting more languages."

"I think that there are some improvements in the product performance that are needed in Blue Prism Cloud...The initial setup of the product needs a lot of time and effort."

"The solution is unable to read some UI components in legacy systems."

"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."

"There's a need to deal with unstructured input with RPA."

"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."

More Blue Prism Cloud cons

"There could be some features to fix compatibility issues with firmware."

"Further simplifying the low-code development process can attract a broader user base by making automation accessible to those with minimal technical skills."

"The process discovery tool of Kryon RPA could be improved because of its limitations."

"From our experience, the product is not suitable for end users."

"We use Google Drive a lot. If somebody sends us a spreadsheet or a document, it's going to be in Google’s format. It's not going to be in Microsoft Office format. But currently, there's no integration with Google’s documents. That would be a huge plus to have."

"I have seen some very minor occurrences where Kryon's interactions with Microsoft Office might cause the robot to hang. However, it is about one to two percent of the time where we are seeing this happen. It is such a small percentage that it's not even something that we are overly worried about. This would be where they might have some stability issues, but it could be the Microsoft Office API or how they are interacting together."

"The product requires some more time in development. It still has some bugs and some things to work out. They're constantly releasing. They need to continue working out the general issues of using the product at scale, first and foremost."

"I would expect that in the first year there is no ROI. It has to be measured over three or five years."

Pricing and Cost Advice

"I would rate the pricing a five out of ten, with one being cheap and ten being expensive."

"We found the pricing reasonable, and it aligned with our budgetary requirements."

"Blue Prism Cloud’s pricing is fine for commercial usage."

"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."

"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."

"Blue Prism comes at a higher price point compared to other solutions on the market."

"There are many RPA solutions available from different vendors and the pricing for Blue Prism is competitive."

"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."

More Blue Prism Cloud pricing and cost advice

"For an unattended robot it's $6000 a month."

"Licensing costs are about $100,000 a year without any additional costs."

"We're paying in the neighborhood of about $66,000 a year. The cost is fairly similar to its competitors' costs. It might have been a little bit more reasonable than the others, and that cost was with Process Discovery in addition."

"The product has reasonable pricing."

"We've more than broken even over on the license. Year to date, we are at $120,000 in savings."

"In addition to the standard licensing costs, there are manpower costs."

"Can't beat the price... There are different pricing levels for every bot or unattended bot. You can buy however many you want. You'll need an additional virtual machine for it to work on."

"The price is affordable."
