Pros
"It is a stable solution.""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.""As a developer, I liked the layout and UI, specifically referring to testing. I was able to watch the process through stages.""My company decided to go with Blue Prism because of the security it provides.""It is a very stable tool that allows very complex automations.""We find the stability and the ease of reusing code design valuable.""The use cases range from document ingestion, process enablement, and data management, including financial records cleanup.""Blue Prism is highly scalable and reliable."

Cons
"In Nigeria, I don't know what their marketing is like. However, they're losing market shares to other solutions. Most customers know UiPath more than Blue Prism.""Blue Prism is a little behind Automation Anywhere in the topics related to maintenance and report building.""Blue Prism can improve a lot. The interaction with Google Chrome can be massively improved. I know in the next version there are slight improvements. We don't know how much, but we are comparing them. At this moment, Google Chrome is a massive issue within the toolset, due to the way Google Chrome receives updates regularly but Blue Prism is unable to cope. The spy method of Google Chrome is not as user-friendly as Internet Explorer is. However, Internet Explorer is being discontinued from their support, therefore it's not the best browser to be using. This has caused us major issues in the last six months.""Our primary challenge at present is that we are finding it difficult to get additional business insights into existing processes so that we can identify where we need to improve.""Blue Prism develops its own tools and process automation, but the documentation is unclear and incomplete.""The solution can be improved by switching off data DB and including a report section.""We had a lot of challenges managing authentication and reusing or using external authentication providers.""The tool needs to work on its security aspect since there is a lot of regulatory compliance for enterprises like the GDPR. The product needs to improve the data login policy as well. They also need to come up with a mechanism where every change and upgrade happens within the element of the target application. Our partner struggles to keep up with the cybersecurity guidelines of my company."

More Blue Prism Cons →

"The solution is not as intuitive as it could be and integrating took a lot of time.""There are a few areas for improvement in the installation phase""There is a need for NICE robotics to be more user-friendly."

Pricing and Cost Advice
  • "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."
  • "The license for Blue Prism is very straightforward, we only need one license."
  • "Our customers pay for an annual license."
  • "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."
  • "Its pricing is okay. Its price is pretty similar to the price of other tools."
  • "It's an expensive product. For what they are providing in terms of capabilities and features for the price, I would rate the pricing an eight out of ten."
  • "Blue Prism is an expensive solution, especially in Southeast Asia, while in Europe and the UK, it can be considered moderate in terms of cost."
  • "The solution is not that expensive and a five-year license costs about 20k euros."
