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.

Offers a user-friendly interface but lacks enterprise-level features
EdgeVerve AssistEdge RPA is not difficult to deploy and the process was fine. Concerning deployment time, it usually takes one or two days. It totally depends upon the number of use cases and the processes where we are implementing. It might take weeks as well, depending upon the process in which we are implementing.

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

"We use Blue Prism for automating business tools related to HR and finance by submitting human interaction from the computer."
"The stability is quite good."
"I think Blue Prism is a wonderful product."
"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."
"Blue Prism supports the multi-bot architecture, which is really good. It is also really good at OCR. Blue Prism is integrated with Abbey OCR, and it provides at least 90% right information on period documents. This is something that is really good in Blue Prism. Blue Prism can deal with huge amounts of data. We can track each and every record, and then we can see the data. If you don't have much coding experience, it makes it easy to build automations and deploy them. It is also easy to learn and easy to work with. It has a lot of features, which makes it reliable for any sort of automation."
"It offers assessments by way of a robotics or automation readiness assessment tool, which was quite helpful."
"Blue Prism is stable enough."
"The solution has cross-application features where it can be setup with SAP, email, or SharePoint."
"Good email automation and XL automation."
"EdgeVerve AssistEdge RPA is more affordable than UiPath."
"AssistEdge made it so that the reps didn't need to maneuver through 10 or 20 different systems. We tied all that together in the background, so the reps had a shared UI, and everything else happened in the background without their knowledge. When they were retrieving data, it was done in the background through automation and pulling up to that generic UI layer"
"The feature I like the most is the ability to capture elements easily, especially when automating web-based applications. Additionally, I find the SAP connectors to be quite beneficial."
"There are some typical features I like such as email automation, XL automation, some AI/ML capabilities that are evolving, but are not quite mature yet, and I like the website automation."
"The user interface is not complicated, even for new users. Two to three weeks is enough to get ahold of it."
"The features of EdgeVerve AssistEdge RPA that customers find most helpful include the easy understanding and good UI/UX."
"The tool follows a role-based working model to create things. It helps to track what others are doing with the system."
"I appreciate the orchestration capabilities and document processing integrations."
"The biggest improvement has been in the ROI we've seen, which has been $55,000 in six months' time."
"The number-one valuable feature is the ease of use. I come from a development background where I wrote a lot of code. The fact that you have these activities with pre-built functionality is great. You can drag them in and use them as shortcuts to get to an end result faster than if you had to do it in a programming language."
"Overall $1 million annual savings through improved process efficiency."
"UiPath Platform is super convenient to work with; considering it with other automation tools, it is the easiest to work with and most versatile—you can perform all types of automation by using the UiPath Platform."
"We saw ROI in eight or nine weeks, so it was fairly fast."
"I am able to get answers on issues regarding UiPath in the Forum and I can also automate faster because of the reusable components available in UiPath Go!"
"The features that are most valuable are Excel Automation, Web Automation, Web Scrapping, and CV Automation."
 

Cons

"The OCR capability, along with the connectivity with some of the legacy tools, needs to be improved."
"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."
"Technical support is in need of improvement."
"Blue Prism could be compatible with Oracle's suite of ERPs. We have seen some issues related to this."
"One area that needs to be improved is the resource monitoring with respect to queuing processes."
"I would like to see machine learning functionality integrated with the automation."
"It is a bit higher in cost as compared to Automation Anywhere and UiPath."
"Blue Prism can improve on the ease of use of its graphic user interface(GUI)."
"AssistEdge isn't a simple tool like Blue Prism or other RPA solutions with configurable items that you can drag and drop. This involved a lot of hard coding, which posed two challenges. One, we did not have that skillset, so we depended on Infosys. Two, it's a beast to go back and update or make changes when things are hard coded because you can't just move those configurable items back around."
"We provide them with consulting and strategy advisory services, but we have never recommended any organization to use EdgeVerve AssistEdge RPA."
"There should be more activities like extraction for reading or converting PDFs. There are fewer activities compared to other tools. There are no custom activities."
"In my opinion, areas for improvement in this solution lie in handling documentation, especially when dealing with data from various layouts or formats like scanned PDFs. Currently, new features are emerging in other tools, like generative AI, that could enhance these aspects."
"We provide them with consulting and strategy advisory services, but we have never recommended any organization to use EdgeVerve AssistEdge RPA."
"Lacks integration with third party tools."
"The tool's alternatives work on drag-and-drop functionality without creating custom code. We don't have an in-built queue system and use RabbitMQ for it. The solution also doesn't have a framework."
"The solution could be improved if it provided integration with third party tools like Python, native integration, which is very important."
"The pricing for Orchestrator and unattended robots could use improvement."
"The attended bot functionality is in need of improvement."
"The hardest part is popularizing UiPath among our employees."
"Price could be an issue for large projects, but that's where you'll get a high ROI too."
"The solution is helpful in terms of speeding up or reducing the cost of digital transformation for our clients, however, the license cost is a little high."
"Sometimes the technical support team gets repetitive with the questions they ask, and for complex issues, it drags on too long."
"We're actually looking into a document to understand the use case. It's essentially car titles, and we're struggling. We've used several different OCR engines to try to train the model and try to improve it."
"I would definitely appreciate efforts to be made to build useful tools that meet regulatory standards in different fields so that we can all get the most out of automation."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The licensing is approximately $1,100."
"Blue Prism has a higher cost with respect to RPA enablement, particularly if you are trying to start with RPA."
"Our licensing fees are approximately $5,000 USD per year."
"Blue Prism is a bit higher priced compared to other payment-related or investment-related solutions. At the same time, it also provides more security than those solutions, specifically for the banking and insurance sectors."
"I chose Blue Prism because it is priced well. The pricing was right for me at that moment even though Automation Anywhere is better in other aspects."
"Compared to other tools on the market, it is one of the most expensive."
"This is a very expensive product and this is the reason that they're losing their market share."
"The tool is expensive."
"EdgeVerve AssistEdge RPA is cheaper compared to other RPA tools."
"It's costly compared to other tools in the market. Other than that, it is very good."
"UiPath is a good deal all round."
"Its cost is a bit on the higher side. We are not very happy with their pricing. Most of the UiPath products are priced higher than competitors."
"UiPath is slightly more expensive than Automation Anywhere and Microsoft Power Automate."
"For the features and the quality of features that they provide, it's a very reasonably priced product."
"Initially, it maybe was $8,000 or $10,000. However, as the number of bots increases, the pricing has to come down. That said, with volume, we don't see that."
"UiPath's cost is acceptable."
"I think the pricing is reasonable. I don't think it's too much of a stretch, and I think it's where it should be."
