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.

Suitable for a small-scale business but not evolved enough for a large enterprise
The best thing with that Jacada is that they are a repository builder, which we use for our assessment to gauge and match screens. Jacada has evolved, but I'm not using the latest version. Technically we use our internal product more, which is iAutomate. We also use UiPath and Automation Anywhere…

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"Blue Prism takes good security measures and is user friendly."
"One key feature is the workflow design is able to be customized according to the way that you want the automation to work."
"Blue Prism can lower the average handling time immediately by 20-40%."
"We have integrated the product with our centralized infra-monitoring tool, which gives us real-time insights into BOT health and also the health of the underlying resources."
"Blue Prism has a lot of flexibility to integrate with other enterprise applications"
"It is a very stable tool that allows very complex automations."
"A feature I like about Blue Prism is the Control Room and how easy it is to find exceptions, to find common issues, and to troubleshoot your exceptions. Your Control Room person, without any development skills, can easily pick up what the problem is, with the exceptions, especially when there are a lot of exceptions related to one use case or process."
"Blue Prism is a very secure solution because you can implement a structure as a high availability infrastructure."
"The initial setup was fairly straightforward."
"The best thing with Jacada is that they are a repository builder, which we use for our assessment to gauge and match screens."
 

Cons

"There is a need for a co-management product to manage multiple developers using Blue Prism."
"They improve more in OCR, to read text more correctly, currently can say OCR in Blue Prism only works for less cases and is only effective 50%, so mostly OCRs of Blue Prism is very less used and other APIs or tools are integrated with Blue Prism for OCR techniques."
"It is a bit higher in cost as compared to Automation Anywhere and UiPath."
"Blue Prism could be compatible with Oracle's suite of ERPs. We have seen some issues related to this. They could do much better with their intelligent document processing solution. They're pretty behind and don't have attended bots."
"There are many reasons why many companies don't go for Blue Prism. It is not open, and the community addition is not available. Blue Prism provides support through partnership. You need to do a partnership with them, which is a major disadvantage. You contact a Blue Prism team, and they will schedule a meeting with you. They will give you a demo and help you set up everything, whereas with UiPath and Automation Anywhere, you can try the community edition, and if it fits your needs, you simply buy a license for that. The initial setup of Blue Prism is complex. They simply provide a PDF or documentation for you to go through it, whereas, if you go with UiPath or Automation Anywhere, they have several videos and community support to guide you. The documentation of Blue Prism is static. They don't have any sort of videos or open forums. Other tools have got a lot of community support, but Blue Prism doesn't have that. Its training is also hard to attain, and they also don't provide any certification."
"The UI is more complicated than other tools."
"They improve more in OCR, to read text more correctly, currently can say OCR in blue prism only works for less cases and is only effective 50%. so mostly OCR's of Blue prism is very less used and other API's or tools are integrated with Blue prism for OCR techniques."
"Unfortunately, developing with Blue Prism takes more time than developing with UiPath or other platforms, because each action requires multiple actions."
"They need to create a workflow system."
"When we first started using Jacada, the technical support was not good at all; however, they were just getting started then."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The price is on par with other products in the market."
"Due to our financial structure, we need fixed costs. So, a license based on the usage would not be feasible. If we have a license model that is based on tasks per year or something else, it could create a very dynamic range of costs. Due to our public financial input, we have to know what it will cost. So, we have licenses per server. This helps us in planning, and we know exactly when we need additional servers. We can then request additional money for them."
"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."
"We really don't bear the costs. The cost is borne by the customer. It runs into about $100,000 per year per customer for Blue Prism. We normally budget around $30,000 for the first year for the hardware, setup, and people cost."
"Blue Prism has a higher cost with respect to RPA enablement, particularly if you are trying to start with RPA."
"Licensing is on a yearly basis."
"Blue Prism is less expensive than some of the other RPA solutions."
"Its pricing is okay. Its price is pretty similar to the price of other tools."
