We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"The primary focus lies in integrating the three major cloud platforms with Blue Prism Cloud: Microsoft Azure, Amazon AWS, and GCP. This integration goes beyond security measures for the primary template policies. It also includes addressing compliance requirements. For instance, I can incorporate specific compliance templates and policies generated in Blue Prism and integrate them with local templates for ISO 27001 and GDPR, particularly concerning software tools and headsets. This integration eliminates the need for auditing and reviewing technical details individually. Instead, I can simply examine the container report. This approach proves beneficial when clients heavily rely on container environments.""What I like best about Blue Prism Cloud is that it's secure, robust, and has 24 x 7 support available. I also find the solution quick and intelligent. Even a non-coder can easily use it.""This solution comes with a lot of good features.""There is no latency in the product.""The most valuable feature is the ability to write custom code.""Its AI features allow customers to find specific documents via an index.""The reusability of the solution is excellent. It's a superior feature - far superior to any other tool on the market.""We can save on staff costs by automating processes."

"The initial setup of SAP Contextor is easy.""The most valuable feature of SAP Contextor is that everyone is in one place in the program that I need.""Scalability is fine. It is pretty nice.""Most of the details are already in the help portal and SAP notes are available. It is well documented as part of the product support.""Contextor is a good solution for a Citrix environment. It's the first with this tool. Other tools provide the same functionality, but not with the Citrix environment.""The standout features of SAP Intelligent RPA are its flexibility and integration capabilities.""It is remarkably easy to configure and code, and it doesn't require an extensive technical background or coding expertise."

Cons
"Blue Prism Cloud could improve by having more innovations for the solution, such as more capability. I am looking for cloud-based services, such as Power Automate that we can recommend for cloud customers. UiPath and Automation Anywhere have more innovation in their solution.""The tool’s customer support should improve. There were instances where I tried to call them up and was put on hold. However, they do revert back through emails once a ticket has been issued. They should be quick with their responses on calls.""Blue Prism Cloud needs to improve support, though documentation is available online. It is not detailed, which does not help.""The product’s pricing needs improvement.""They should work on the solution's pricing.""Having more AI functionality would be an improvement.""Blue Prism should adopt a low-code approach. Most RPA vendors only provide what they call a "form builder." A low-code designer would enable us to build a custom UI.""The main issue is screen scraping with Blue Prism gives us a big challenge because we need to define which technologies are web-based have been built instead of by itself discovering the technology that it is built on."

More Blue Prism Cloud Cons →

"For potential features or improvements, one aspect I would suggest enhancing is the flexibility of the extraction process.""I would like to see a better capacity for unstructured data, for example, PDF, or text within images.""SAP Contextor could improve by automating some processes.""I found that the SAP scripting of a program is easier than SAP Contextor.""The initial setup is of medium complexity. It is neither too hard nor too simple. You need some background in SAP and an understanding of it.""There should be more of an error, like a proper error feature, in future releases. Sometimes, we don't understand why that automation is not learning what, like, where it is stuck, or what is the reason like, or what is the criteria we are missing to add. So a proper error message would be helpful.""One way SAP Intelligent RPA could improve is by integrating built-in DI services for document processing."

Pricing and Cost Advice
  • "Pricing can be negotiated in situations where there will be heavy usage."
  • "The licensing structure is complex and the minimum contract length is three years."
  • "We pay about $15,000 per quarter in licensing costs. We don't have to pay for any other extra costs. There isn't, for example, an extra cost for technical support. We just pay the licensing."
  • "There are many RPA solutions available from different vendors and the pricing for Blue Prism is competitive."
  • "Annual licensing costs were somewhere between $5,000 - $10,000 for the development tool. For the control tower, I think fees were about $50,000 annually."
  • "This solution comes at a medium to high price point. They need to work on their pricing to enable smaller enterprises to get the benefit of using the product."
  • "When compared with UiPath, I believe it will be difficult for Blue Prism to maintain its market share."
  • "Blue Prism comes at a higher price point compared to other solutions on the market."
  • More Blue Prism Cloud Pricing and Cost Advice →

  • "This is not a tool or software with a license as others are. The SaaS model is based on the usage of the tool."

  • "The pricing is not that expensive. It is manageable."
  • "It all comes with a bundle right now. Having advanced features, it is competitively priced."
