Room For Improvement

Blue Prism users seek improved AI, integration, interface, and support, highlighting high scaling costs and limited resources.
Nintex RPA requires better object recognition, OCR, integration, AI updates, and improvements in training, compatibility, and debugging tools.
If we increase or improve the efficiency of archiving while running the production environment with a huge database size, that would be much more helpful for managing the state and the performance.
Technical Lead at DXC Technology
Only each bot level logs are possible, which will not help when maintaining one hundred plus or two hundred plus bots.
Technical Architect at YASH Technologies
I would like to see the interface of Blue Prism refreshed.

Setup Cost

Blue Prism's licensing model is often seen as expensive, but discounts and negotiations can reduce costs compared to competitors.
Nintex RPA offers moderate pricing, ranging from $5,000 to $100,000, with separate charges for infrastructure and optional features.
They don't charge per user or per environment, so you get everything you need included at one fixed cost.
Intelligent Automation Lead (RPA & AI) at a tech services company with 501-1,000 employees
While the licensing cost is something I haven't checked in a while, I find that although it initially seems costlier than competitors, Blue Prism's licensing model is simpler and proves to be cost-effective over time.

The price of Blue Prism is costly, but I believe the quality should increase.

Impressive flexibility and support enhance integration and performance
The best feature of Blue Prism that I value the most is the simplicity of their pricing and licensing model, which is easy to understand. The tool is very robust and, being a pioneer in the sector, it is also very stable, particularly in finance where many companies rely on Blue Prism for its reliability and security standards. From a developer perspective, I find developing on Blue Prism simple, clean, and intuitive, making maintenance considerably easier compared to other tools. These AI features have helped in developing scalable and flexible solutions for my customers, as I worked on use cases that involved natural language processing to turn free text into structured data, enabling automation of previously unautomatable tasks. Additionally, I processed voice feedback for sentiment analysis and information extraction, making interactions more intuitive and voice-driven for customers.

Easy to use and clear documentation with notes explaining each step available
Areas, where I see some room for improvement would be the use of reading details from an Excel file. Most of the time, it's difficult when I say looping through a huge data set, and it's very difficult for the bot to interact with those data sets unless it starts offering the Excel file. As of today, from the reports I've worked with, I noticed that most reports are empty columns and two rows. So if Kryon can associate with that and extract those deposits into a variable, and the tools can easily fit out to column dash and two rows and columns, it will be nice. But as of today, the bot doesn't have the functionality to detect variables. We have to do it on the Excel file itself. I also noticed that when it comes to the use of bots, not everyone has the same knowledge, and it can be difficult to do certain research unless you have advanced knowledge of what you need to do. I also noticed that in the community, most people don't use it, and it's quite difficult when you need certain support.
