Delivers increased productivity and streamlines fraud processing in banking, though technical support could be faster
Before AutomationEdge, we had to hire coder-level experts with Java or Python knowledge. This approach took considerable time and required error handling to automate processes. With this tool, all processes are automatically handled with errors, and no-code automation is available. The cost for a developer is now significantly lower. Previously, we hired highly efficient developers with high salary packages. The license cost of 5 to 10 lakhs per year for one person to automate is equivalent to a person's annual salary. With the license and a developer hired at 3 to 5 lakhs, we can automate 40 to 50 processes.

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.

Significantly reduces manual effort and improves team workflows through automated ticketing
We've used Agent Builder, IXP, and Maestro for orchestration. We have created context-grounded searches or chatbots using context grounding, and we also use context grounding within an Agentic flow where a bot or agent reads ServiceNow tickets to determine whether it has been assigned to the right work group. If it has not been assigned correctly due to human error, it automatically reassigns it to the right group. I would assess Agentic AI's ability to extract data points as effective. We created an agent for the purpose of extracting data, though not in a document. We created what we call an email conversation agent that engages with a customer, vendor, or someone in an email conversation with a set goal of extracting specific data points for an action to be performed subsequently. The one automation we have deployed in production involves the agent interacting with team members to collect data points and create a ServiceNow ticket. We appreciate almost all features of UiPath Platform, with one of the most successful ones being the use of Coms Mining. Most of the new features related to AI have all been good, and we use Agentic. We have already created a few agents and have started to use Maestro for a few flows, though we are not yet there to orchestrate an end-to-end workflow. We have good ROI from the automations we have developed with UiPath Platform, which far exceeds the investment in the platform. It has saved us tens of thousands of hours in manual effort, making the team members happy to pursue other things of value.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The support from the vendor is very good."
"It is a valuable tool for developing efficient solutions, especially in finance and banking."
"We can quickly adapt to our end users."
"The ability to automate our processes with external plug-ins and zero code is the most valuable feature."
"The chatbot that they have is most valuable; it is one of the best features because they own it, and they don't need to integrate with other parties to have a chatbot."
"AutomationEdge has shown the most productive impact, and the productivity was excellent before, and now it can increase by 20 to 30% more with AI implementation."
"Attended versus unattended automation in AutomationEdge has benefited my organization significantly."
"In general terms, the solution has helped our business by speeding up execution times."
"The solution has improved our organization in that our AP administrators and AP clerks don't have to put the information into the ERP, as the RPA does the transfer upon approval over to the ERP system, so you don't have to code and create backend APIs or custom code to integrate the systems, which makes things much easier overall."
"We were using Blue Prism mainly for simple RPA processing; I work with advisors, and we have a lot of clients that have a lot of processes, and we use the solution for the cost and management processes, and when we need to organize some information we join the information into a report."
"It's fast to get up and running if you use a cloud deployment."
"With Blue Prism, you automate the back-end processes. Blue Prism is more like service-side automation. It is not off-circuit automation. It is more like attended automation."
"We are using Blue Prism to automate any of your manual tasks that are related to desktop, web-based applications, email, and Excel, and for any two-handled records that have been created with many items and have been automated, we use Blue Prism to manage them."
"We find the stability and the ease of reusing code design valuable."
"My company decided to go with Blue Prism because of the security it provides."
"I think Blue Prism is a wonderful product."
"We are able to smooth out peak workloads. Because a lot of the period closures, like monthly and yearly closures, we work in peaks. Everything has to be done within a few days. When we can prepare a lot of the data and reports through the night, the employees can start on those in the morning. Therefore, we are leveling out some of the workload features, which is one of the main benefits."
"It's pretty affordable for what you get."
"We reduced a 10 people team to just one person, who just stands by most of the time and monitors the robotization process in action."
"The most valuable features include multi-bot architecture, UiPath Studio, and Test Manager."
"Good workflow capabilities E-learning and training academy Fully robotized and human-assisted automation A broad set of applications supported VB.NET and C# for developers make it easy to get started."
"For me, it is the best number one in the world for bots."
"It is a very easy and stable product."
"The speed of development in UiPath is very fast."
 

Cons

"The price of the solution could be improved."
"The installation process could improve. It was difficult to complete."
"AutomationEdge's primary issue is its price point, especially compared to other products."
"The ease of use is the main thing on which they really have to focus. If they want to go against the giants, it should be improved in ease of use, and it should be more user-friendly. It would be helpful because everyone should be empowered irrespective of whether they know how to code or not. They should enhance its user interface and make it more intuitive."
"It's not an intuitive tool."
"The ease of use is the main thing on which they really have to focus; if they want to go against the giants, it should be improved in ease of use, and it should be more user-friendly."
"With other automation solutions in the market, we can simulate the process in our notebooks where the solution creates the code for us, but with AutomationEdge we can't do this."
"AutomationEdge's ecosystem has shortcomings and needs improvement. When we compare AutomationEdge to other RPA tools in our company, we find that it has a very minor online community."
"The license cost is a bit high."
"A feature that I would like to see in the next release is the ability to easily call on the robots to fulfill part of the process, and be run by the users in the business, where the robot can simply be activated rather than running mass processes from a control room."
"For me, I feel that it is lacking in features. It consists of simple actions that work quite well together, and the integration is good but the scope of things that you can do is too narrow."
"The price of Blue Prism is costly, but I believe the quality should increase."
"There are some weaknesses of the tool as well. For example, Blue Prism has been a little bit slow when it comes to the commitments on their roadmap."
"Its image recognition or the OCR part should be improved. The quality has improved in the latest version, but some of the handwritten documents are not that accurate. Its interaction with the Citrix environment should also be improved. Their technical support should also be improved."
"We didn't find it much useful for unstructured data."
"Blue Prism has a long learning curve because the coding is complicated. You need to be a very highly skilled developer."
"In terms of eliminating human errors, I don't think that we have seen any difference."
"Some of the APA integrations are complicated and have room for improvement."
"We had some issues with instability for which we were never able to determine the root cause."
"If you choose to automate applications that are expected to change in the next few months, then UiPath cannot help you."
"This solution needs improvement, especially in terms of continuing the process that is left in case of any kind of disaster that happens to the trimmers. If there is a state that can be maintained to removing the machines to another location and continue from there, it would be helpful. Right now, this is lacking."
"Active Roles works with policies and access templates, as well as workflows, which are really powerful. While it comes with a lot of example policies and access templates, there are zero built-in workflows."
"The pricing in our region has the potential for improvement."
"There are definitely some changes I would like to see. I’d like to see, for example, more note code for applications."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"If you are looking for a budget solution, you can consider AE. It has all the features. Scaling it is way easier because of the cost itself."
"I give the price of the solution a nine out of ten."
"The licensing for this solution should have a more competitive pricing model. The price is in the top five of similar products."
"The product is available at the lowest price."
"Pricing can be made better. Currently, I think the pricing is based on the market. The pricing also depends on the business partners that offer you the solution."
"Price-wise, AutomationEdge is pretty affordable, making it not so expensive when you compare this with other tools in the market."
"It is expensive but its value can justify the cost."
"I give the price of the solution a seven out of ten."
"It is expensive for us. It should be cheaper for a market like ours. We are based in India."
"The licensing is approximately $1,100."
"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."
"The price of Blue Prism is high compared to others solutions. It would be helpful if they could provide a trial version for new users to try. Other vendors provide a community or trial version. There are not any hidden costs."
"To use Blue Prism, there is a need to pay INR 15,000 per customer."
"My clients tend to feel that the overall implementation cost is a little high."
"Blue Prism is less expensive than some of the other RPA solutions."
"The community edition is completely free. Then, people say, "There is nothing to lose, let me try it.""
"The way that the licensing is structured is confusing for some because there is different licensing if you're on the cloud versus if you're on-prem. There are unattended licences and then there are non-production licences and people get confused by that."
"The pricing is competitive. I like the solution's pricing structure."
"It is not a cheap solution. There is an annual licensing cost for all the components."
"It is cheaper than Microsoft Power Automate and saves us between 50 and 70 percent on costs. UiPath's pricing is moderate and something everyone can afford."
"At the company that I was with previously, we were paying $3,600 USD per bot. With the new company that I am at, because we're new and we don't have the size, we are paying $8,000 USD per bot."
"My advice is to ask about how the licensing works and how to get access to the other services that UiPath provides."
"It is expensive, and now it is getting more expensive. They are the number one in the market, and they are taking advantage of that. It is hard for the companies that have the full infrastructure supported on UiPath to change it. They have to keep it. UiPath is taking advantage of it."
