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.

The Python base is very valuable for AI and data science but stability could improve
Our company is using the solution for test automations such as making a software that indicates a payment, data entry, and invoice or document processing.  We have completed a partial automation with the solution and are thinking about implementing it.  The solution is based on Python which makes…

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The reusability of the solution is excellent. It's a superior feature - far superior to any other tool on the market."
"What I like best about Blue Prism Cloud is that it's secure, robust, and has 24 x 7 support available. I also find the solution quick and intelligent. Even a non-coder can easily use it."
"It provides good, clean data that enhances our AI initiatives."
"The ease of building automation and the development environment"
"We used it for process automation."
"Once it does the monitor, it collects the respective data and creates an output that is required for reconfiguration."
"The most valuable feature is the ability to write custom code."
"It automates our accounts payable process, requiring no human interaction and saving us a hundred percent of the time."
"Robocorp is based on Python, so you can use Python scripts and create libraries for your use cases. Building libraries and custom scripts for a particular client and general use cases is easy. We can reuse those scripts for other clients, so we start seeing benefits quickly."
"The product has a valuable business process automation feature."
"The ability to create separate organizations on this platform makes it easier to bill each of the clients separately."
"It offers high scalability and enables automation in ways that haven't been possible before."
"The solution is based on Python which makes it very valuable."
"The process execution and all features are very good."
"The price is good."
"It's easy to deploy bots via the API helper in Control Room. Robocorp's debugging features are also robust. It shows you a lot of data."
 

Cons

"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."
"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."
"Blue Prism Cloud's pricing needs to be improved because it is a little bit more costly than other automation tools like UIPath."
"Decipher, one of their solutions, is a waste of time."
"The issue is that it is not dynamic or intelligent."
"Blue Prism is slightly difficult for the non-technical user."
"The AI part is currently missing in Blue Prism Studio... It would be good if the AI part is included in Blue Prism Studio, which can make it much more efficient and good to work."
"Blue Prism Cloud needs to improve support, though documentation is available online. It is not detailed, which does not help."
"The solution could be more stable."
"We use the latest version of the process studio and it takes up a lot of CPU storage. In our case, this has been up to 14 GB of storage."
"An additional feature I'm looking for in Robocorp is SAP automation."
"I preferred the user interface in the older versions. When troubleshooting, it's sometimes hard to find details about where things went wrong. You need to search a little harder. It takes more clicks to get to where you want to go. It can be somewhat confusing. When you run a process that fails, it takes you somewhere you may not expect."
"Robocorp is still in development, so most of the keywords are a bit confusing. I have to alter lots of automation steps between processing and development. However, Selenium is due for an update soon, and Robcorp is addressing some of the limitations caused by the previous Selenium version."
"We would also like an integrated PDF reader and better integration with custom solutions. The built-in Excel customization is limited, but we can still accomplish what we want using Python. We must rely on Python to customize processes in Robocorp. I don't know about the latest IDE from Robocorp, but the old one doesn't have a lot of activities."
"I don't like the complexity of deployment."
"The standard libraries in Robocorp should be more advanced."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Pricing can be negotiated in situations where there will be heavy usage."
"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."
"It is highly-priced."
"Blue Prism comes at a higher price point compared to other solutions on the market."
"We pay about $15,000 per quarter in licensing costs. We don't have to pay for any other extra costs. There isn't, for example, an extra cost for technical support. We just pay the licensing."
"The price is very competitive when you are comparing to other providers."
"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."
"There are many RPA solutions available from different vendors and the pricing for Blue Prism is competitive."
"It's a cost-effective solution."
"The product has good pricing."
"The price is cheaper than other competitors. I would rate the cost as one out of five."
"In terms of licenses, there is a return on investment in that area."
"Robocorp is much better in terms of pricing compared to UiPath."
"The pricing is fine."
"The solution is a very affordable price."
"You don't have to pay for the license. You have to pay for the time you use it."
