Featured Reviews

Pavan-Sharma - PeerSpot reviewer
Senior Consultant at a consultancy with 10,001+ employees
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.
Rajneesh Prajapati - PeerSpot reviewer
Senior Rpa Consultant at Accely Consulting
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

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

Pros

"It is a scalable solution."
"It is not just for coders, as you can have a diagrammatic representation of the process."
"The most valuable feature is the ability to do surface automation, allowing interaction with legacy systems where terminal emulation is still in use."
"The ease of use is really good because a lot of business people, who have some idea about logic and who can think in logic, can configure things, because there is no coding."
"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, and the tool is very robust and stable, particularly in finance where many companies rely on Blue Prism for its reliability and security standards."
"It's fast to get up and running if you use a cloud deployment."
"One of the most powerful features in Blue Prism is exception handling. It's one of the features that really differentiates it from other platforms."
"On a scale of 1-10, I rate Blue Prism a 10."
"What I like most about BotFarm is that it's one of the leading RPA products in the market. Very few products focus on robotics today, so I like that BotFarm offers a lot in terms of what general customers expect it to do."
"The solution has been very user-friendly."
"The most valuable features are the portals for extracting data from PDF files, appending data to SAP, automating the SAP, downloading reports, and mapping and creating the reports accordingly to your requirements."
"Automation Anywhere provides a very flexible UI."
"The initial setup is pretty straightforward."
"The most valuable features of this solution are the Excel automation and support for SharePoint."
"The entire backend system structure is something that I found really valuable."
"From a solution standpoint, screen capture and tight integration with Outlook are valuable features."
 

Cons

"I don't like that it is so limited, anything that you do feels limited in your capabilities."
"I would like to see the vendor improve the efficiency of Blue Prism interaction with applications."
"User interface could be improved and a web interface included for easy access to robot information."
"It isn't very easy or intuitive for our developers to program the bot to make intelligent decisions. A bot, for the lack of a better word, is stupid, and it can only do what we program it to do. It cannot make intelligent decisions. For example, if we are reviewing Uber charges, they could be posting their transactions under different corporation names, even though they are under the same parent company or group. A human can easily understand that it is the name of the same company, and it just has an asterisk or space, but a bot cannot do that. When a bot cannot complete the transaction, it sends out an exception rate, business exception, or system exception for a human to do a manual review. The exception rate has been high because the bots cannot make decisions that we think are very simple, which is understandable because that's how they were programmed. There is potential in utilizing the higher intelligence side of the tool, but it is not easy to code higher intelligent actions. It is a very lengthy process to get the provisioning to ensure that it is kind of doing what it needs to do. Provisioning involves multiple things, and it is quite complicated and not the best experience, but it is not just because of Blue Prism. Blue Prism is easy, but it takes a long time to onboard into our in-house system."
"Occasionally, there may be stability issues where certain nodes begin to behave erratically and produce errors."
"I have found that community support is lacking for this solution compared to competitors."
"Everyone uses Workday and Salesforce and all that stuff. If they had specific plugins to interact with these enterprise tools, that would be very helpful."
"I would like to see wider integration with other products."
"It would be ideal if the solution offered more language options, such as Arabic."
"When somebody is just learning this product it can be difficult for them to understand, so improvements to the user interface would be helpful."
"The image processing capabilities definitely need to be improved."
"I would like to see more process mining features to give us insight into them before we develop automation."
"Sometimes I feel like it doesn't work properly and we are not able to provide the dexterity needed."
"One aspect that can be improved is the accessibility of reusable components for developers. It relates to role-based access and accessibility."
"The discovery suite that they just acquired could be included."
"We have connectivity and integration with pretty much every single tech stack across the table that we have in the world, and there are a few areas that they don't do that well yet. I'd be looking for some improvement there, in terms of their integration with certain products."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"My clients tend to feel that the overall implementation cost is a little high."
"They work on a big partnership kind of program with our organization, and they also give us a lot of discounts. Its price is pretty much comparable to the other solutions like UiPath and Automation Anywhere."
"Its license is costlier than UiPath and AA. They should improve its price. We have a two-year contract with them."
"Other than your infrastructure, in terms of servers that you have to set up, I don't think that there are any costs in addition to the standard licensing fees."
"I would rate the solution's pricing a seven out of ten."
"Compared to other tools on the market, it is one of the most expensive."
"I don't recall what it was. Initially, we had our licensing through the consultant, and when we stopped using them, we renegotiated licensing. Blue Prism gave us temporary licenses during the negotiation. When all things were said and done, it came out to a decent price even without the vendor. So, our management has been happy with that."
"It is expensive for us. It should be cheaper for a market like ours. We are based in India."
"Automation Anywhere is more reasonable than Blue Prism and UiPath in terms of cost."
"I am very happy with the pricing."
"Licenses are paid on a yearly basis and the cost is quite high."
"We are on an annual license for the solution and is priced well."
"The pricing model could be simplified."
"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."
"Pricing for this solution can be better."
"It is too expensive and not worth the price."
