Mohamed Salah Baccouche - PeerSpot reviewer
Way more efficient for debugging than other tools but the UI is complicated
The UI is more complicated than other tools. In Power Automate, it doesn't even feel like you are working because the tool does the job for you. But in the solution, there are studio, process, and object interfaces and you have to decode your own objects. The free objects that are predefined are not good compared to other tools. There is still a lot of work to do on the solution's intelligent automation part.
Pavan Balaji - PeerSpot reviewer
Performs well on handwritten text and on checkboxes; lacks sufficient language options
The solution lacks support for a variety of languages. It supports three or four languages, whereas other vendors support 60 languages. I'd also like to see some improvement in the various dictionaries, including address validation dictionaries, or phone number validation dictionaries, those things need to be improved. It provides a machine confidence score but doesn't give accuracy scores.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"Blue Prism is a mature, stable product with lots of built-in features."
"We've automated web applications in the banking domain using Blue Prism. This involved automating long and complex banking processes. Every action we automate with the tool generates an audit log, which is safe within the LogRhythm environment. I do find the Decipher feature very useful when it comes to document automation."
"I find Blue Prism's debugging functionality to be quite useful."
"The way you design the flow and configure the activities for the bot is very useful if you are working with any of the BPM or local platforms."
"We started with a very small team and small projects. As the project started getting success with Blue Prism we have a large number of teams now just for automating all the business procedures. Larger time was saved after automating the processes."
"The performance is very good and it is a valuable feature."
"This solution has increased the speed, accuracy, and happiness of staff involved in the activities for which RPA has been deployed."
"The only good thing about Blue Prism is the execution speed."
"What I liked more about HyperScience was the quality of the OCR it is a lot better compared to Google."
"I like that compared to other tools, HyperScience works best with handwritten documents."
"Has algorithms that can detect a document template even if the image has a lot of distortions."
"Valuable features include tools like IQ Bot and the ability to extract handwritten documents with 93-95 per cent accuracy."
"It provides the best accuracy for handwritten forms, which is a struggle in the industry. You can take processes with a lot of manual work and streamline them through this tool."
"One of the most valuable features of HyperScience is the user-training module. Whenever the extraction takes place, based on the way we have trained HyperScience, it would give us some success status or a certain confidence level. If the solution has processed something that it determined was not extracted correctly it will queue those items for manual review."
"We have seen pretty good accuracy."
 

Cons

"Blue Prism is not very flexible when it comes to integrations."
"Navigation within the UI could be improved."
"The control room is still the desktop version, which restricts access. You can't really access it from anywhere."
"It lacks integration with proper AI, and it is a very complex tool to use in general."
"They should incorporate more functionalities in the analytics tool."
"I don't like that it is so limited, anything that you do feels limited in your capabilities."
"There is a need for a co-management product to manage multiple developers using Blue Prism."
"The solution is not user-friendly. It has a very high learning curve."
"HyperScience could improve the unstructured data extraction feature."
"Extracting tables from certain documents could be improved."
"HyperScience has less capability while working on unstructured forms. Unstructured forms are those where there is no standard structure and the information can be anywhere on the form. They need to develop this capability."
"They could work on the price and make it a bit more reasonable."
"The product's usability could be better. The first pain point is that we're getting the output in a different format, and we were expecting a different timetable. The second point is that if you want better results, HyperScience says you have to configure a minimal PDF or a maximum of 400 PDFs. If you want results with 400 PDFs for what's written by these doctors, then you also configure the maximum of 400 templates for that. So, it's essentially a lack of support from HyperScience. In the next release, it would be better if failure scenarios were reduced. It would also help if they offered different formats, inputs or injections, and added different scenarios."
"No solution is perfect and there are several different scenarios that could be improved in HyperScience. One area is where there are multiple tables in the same form I have seen HyperScience struggle. There is some issue with supporting the extraction from multiple tables involved on the same form. If this could improve, it would be a big benefit."
"The solution lacks support for a greater range of languages."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"I would rate the solution's pricing a seven out of ten."
"We really don't bear the costs. The cost is borne by the customer. It runs into about $100,000 per year per customer for Blue Prism. We normally budget around $30,000 for the first year for the hardware, setup, and people cost."
"Its license is costlier than UiPath and AA. They should improve its price. We have a two-year contract with them."
"Its price should be lower."
"The solution is not that expensive and a five-year license costs about 20k euros."
"Blue Prism is an expensive solution, especially in Southeast Asia, while in Europe and the UK, it can be considered moderate in terms of cost."
"Our licensing fees are approximately $5,000 USD per year."
"Blue Prism is pretty steep compared to the others, much more than Automation Anywhere."
"I think HyperScience is cheaper when compared to other tools. They also have a lifetime licensing option."
"I don't have any idea about the licensing costs, but I know that there was a per-page charge. They had different models of pricing. One of them was based on the minimum number of pages, and we had a fixed price. So, the price model depends on the volume that is coming through HyperScience."
