Automation and AI integration enhance performance and user experience
The improvements or enhancements I would like to see in Blue Prism Cloud revolve around further developing server-client architecture, focusing on centralized control for remote agents. I believe more capabilities in that area could be beneficial. At the moment, I don't recall any specific features or functionalities missing from Blue Prism Cloud that come to mind. In terms of complexity, I find that Blue Prism Cloud is somewhat straightforward to use. Flexibility-wise, it engages well with Microsoft-based technologies. However, there are challenges with OCR capabilities that remain an issue. While there are readily available features that work well, the effectiveness does depend significantly on the type of use case I am implementing.

Automation has streamlined client data extraction and has improved reporting for business decisions
I work as a developer, and my manager is responsible for the research and analytics for the project with the client and business users. I am satisfied with BotFarm. I would rate my experience with BotFarm an eight out of ten. I do not see any room for improvement for BotFarm. I am using AI tools such as Amazon, Microsoft Azure, and ChatGPT. I am not using AI-powered bots in BotFarm. I am a partner with Automation Anywhere.

Quotes from Members

"Last year that Blue Prism introduced a community version, and have really opened up their services."
"It is secure and supports unattended mode of operations."
"If I look at the top four, I believe it is far more user-friendly than the other competition."
"The most valuable features are PDF extraction and emailing."
"The product has increased efficiency and reduced the time spent on tasks."
"The most valuable feature is the interface, which helps to provide a good user experience."
"From a solution standpoint, screen capture and tight integration with Outlook are valuable features."
"The solution has very good processes, is very easy to deploy, has good reviews, offers good automation, and has very good developers working on it."
"Overall, this is a pretty good product and nobody else in the market is providing RPA at this level."
"The solution is easy to use and easy to apply."
"The solution has very good processes. It's very easy to deploy and has good reviews on it. It offers good automation and the solution has very good developers working on it."
 

Cons

"The product’s pricing needs improvement."
"Selecting the right business processes that are stable enough to automate can be challenging."
"I would like to see a web-based control room, rather than the one that is in-built with the desktop version."
"Blue Prism Cloud needs to improve support, though documentation is available online. It is not detailed, which does not help."
"Improvement could be made with training and access to an ecosystem and developer's forum."
"I wouldn't call Blue Prism user-friendly. It's one of its downfalls."
"Lacking advance features like CIO and optical character recognition"
"Blue Prism could be more efficient in its resource use. Having one LPR agent per virtual machine wastes resources."
"Overall the support and customer support areas need to be improved."
"Scalability is an area of improvement. We can increase the main features for our project but when we reached out to our personnel and asked whether Bot can be expanded, we were told "You cannot scale this Bot."
"Sometimes I feel like it doesn't work properly and we are not able to provide the dexterity needed."
"The only challenge that we have faced with BotFarm is that there is no continuous deployment. The whole world is moving to the DevOps model, but BotFarm is still not on the DevOps model. It should have integration with the DevOps model. The migration of the bots or bots pipeline is currently purely manual."
"The machine learning needs to be improved so that they perform better in terms of predictive analysis and sentiment analysis."
"The OCR tool, the optical character recognition tool, could be more efficient."
"The discovery suite that they just acquired could be included."
"The implementation isn't straightforward. It's a bit complex in terms of deployment as there are a lot of settings you need to handle."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"When compared with UiPath, I believe it will be difficult for Blue Prism to maintain its market share."
"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."
"Blue Prism Cloud’s pricing is fine for commercial usage."
"It is highly-priced."
"There are many RPA solutions available from different vendors and the pricing for Blue Prism is competitive."
"There are costs for the machine to run the robots."
"The licensing structure is complex and the minimum contract length is three years."
"Blue Prism Cloud's cost is very high."
"The pricing model could be simplified."
"We are on an annual license for the solution and is priced well."
"Automation Anywhere is more reasonable than Blue Prism and UiPath in terms of cost."
"Its price is quite high as compared to other solutions, but it has a lot of features and good stability. They should reduce its price."
"The starter price is free."
"Our licensing costs are approximately $3,000 USD annually."
"I think payment can vary but it's a re-occurring fee that needs to be paid every year."
"The product is slightly expensive"
