Quotes From Members
We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"Access to the SQL database allows for extra capabilities.""It is good for transactions that are very straightforward. It works very nicely with the structured data. It is user-friendly. It is easy to implement and easy to understand.""I use the basic features that are very useful.""The automation on offer is great.""This solution has increased the speed, accuracy, and happiness of staff involved in the activities for which RPA has been deployed.""All of the processes that we've automated have been completed successfully, and the bots are able to process them as expected.""For one, it's easy to set up, and once it gets running it can handle multiple processes in an efficient manner. It's a very robust system.""The web-based designer is very user-friendly and easy to use."

"The tool's most valuable feature is data import. The OCR feature helps to recognize the data. It can recognize screen and document numbers well.""This software is very smart - it can decide from a picture if we like that condition, and then the robot will do that action."

Cons
"Blue Prism is a little behind Automation Anywhere in the topics related to maintenance and report building.""The upgrades could be managed better. I would also like to see more true AI development and machine learning.""User interface could be improved and a web interface included for easy access to robot information.""The recording of the transaction is missing in this solution.""The assisted automation functionality needs improvement.""They should incorporate more functionalities in the analytics tool.""The solution could be more user-friendly. I would like the see the inclusion of a recording feature as in Microsoft, SAP, and other legacy systems. Users can play the recording and use it for future use cases. The recording can help with the automation and configuration. I would rate the tool’s interface a seven out of ten. It needs to improve.""Blue Prism needs to provide better customer support because there are some bugs in the product that make implementation tricky. Blue Prism is designed more for operational than transactional processes. If Blue Prism incorporated a lot of IQ bots and cognitive processing, then it might be of better value at a lower cost. The issue of the cost of the tool needs to be addressed. To become a Blue Prism partner, it's costly. I think that this is one of the negative aspects of using Blue Prism."

More Blue Prism Cons →

"The OCR has issues recognizing handwritten data.""Something that could be improved is that this solution can't run when the computer is locked, which meant we had to implement it in our own on-prem server as it never auto-locks."

  • "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."
  • "Compared to other tools on the market, it is one of the most expensive."
  • "The pricing is really good for an enterprise-level solution. It's quite scalable and it's quite comparable with the market."
