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 reduced manual reporting tasks and improved delivery speed

Software AG ARIS Robotic Process Automation has an opportunity to be improved in many ways, especially with AI. I see some improvements there and it can definitely be enhanced. Maybe even leveraging the cloud product rather than having Software AG ARIS Robotic Process Automation running on your local network would help. Because now you need to connect through a VPN. I understand because organizations don't want to share their data. However, using it as a subscription service can help to connect from anywhere. But then you just need to make sure that the data also complies with the POPI Act and all of those other acts for protecting the data.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The technical support team of Blue Prism Cloud is very good...I rate the support a ten out of ten."

"Blue Prism is able to scale up at an enterprise-level. It's what I used when I was working for a big bank in Belgium."

"Last year that Blue Prism introduced a community version, and have really opened up their services."

"Blue Prism offers a better solution."

"Blue Prism offers the whole package for LPR developers. It's a useful tool to automate anything. As an LPR developer, I think the most important feature is that it lets you get anything into blocks of code that you can use anywhere."

"Once it does the monitor, it collects the respective data and creates an output that is required for reconfiguration."

"With Blue Prism, I like the feature that you build blocks or standards that can be reused later, for example, you configure the CRM system and create a standardized manner of inputting data into the CRM system that you can reuse later."

"The most valuable feature is the ability to write custom code, which makes it more helpful than Automation Anywhere or other RPA tools."

More Blue Prism Cloud pros

"The automation features of Software AG ARIS Robotic Process Automation have assisted us to deliver quickly, especially if you have captured everything on ARIS, then you just need to run a report, and some of the elements are automated."

Cons

"Blue Prism could be more efficient in its resource use. Having one LPR agent per virtual machine wastes resources."

"Blue Prism should adopt a low-code approach. Most RPA vendors only provide what they call a "form builder." A low-code designer would enable us to build a custom UI."

"The product’s licensing cost is expensive compared to other tools in the market."

"It could be more flexible."

"The solution is unable to read some UI components in legacy systems."

"Edge browser extensions could be made slightly more resilient. It would be nice if they could package new libraries for end users rather than have them search for libraries."

"The main issue is screen scraping with Blue Prism gives us a big challenge because we need to define which technologies are web-based have been built instead of by itself discovering the technology that it is built on."

"The cost is a bit high. Other tools are much cheaper."

More Blue Prism Cloud cons

"Software AG ARIS Robotic Process Automation has an opportunity to be improved in many ways, especially with AI."

Pricing and Cost Advice

"There are many RPA solutions available from different vendors and the pricing for Blue Prism is competitive."

"I would rate the pricing a five out of ten, with one being cheap and ten being expensive."

"The pricing is fine."

"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."

"Blue Prism Cloud's cost is very high."

"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."

"Annual licensing costs were somewhere between $5,000 - $10,000 for the development tool. For the control tower, I think fees were about $50,000 annually."
