We performed a comparison between Blue Prism Cloud and Microsoft Power Automate based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two Robotic Process Automation (RPA) solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."We can save on staff costs by automating processes."
"The most valuable feature of a non-programmer is diagrams. Someone from an IT background can find it easier to start automation."
"The ease of building automation and the development environment"
"The product itself is quite mature."
"Blue Prism is able to scale up at an enterprise-level. It's what I used when I was working for a big bank in Belgium."
"With Blue Prism, I like the feature that you build, I don't know the exact name now, but blocks or standards can be reduced later. You configure, for example, the CRM system, and you create a standardized manner of inputting data into the CRM system that you can reuse later. I'm not sure what that's called, but I enjoy it whether it's a feature or not."
"The solution works well overall."
"The most valuable feature is the speed at which we are able to implement solutions that can interact through the user interface in the same way that a human being would."
"It works best to build cloud flows."
"The program requires no code making it very easy to implement various functions."
"For people who already use Office 365, Power Automate is very easy to integrate and use."
"Power Automate is not complex and is very easy-to-use in deploying most development projects."
"The product provides valuable integration with other Microsoft tools."
"Its integration with the Office 365 ecosystem is most valuable. We use a lot of ready-to-use templates."
"I like that Power Automate gives us a connector to be able to connect different data sources or different software."
"The most valuable feature is the ability and ease of linking multiple connectors within the same flow."
"The AI part is currently missing in Blue Prism Studio... It would be good if the AI part is included in Blue Prism Studio, which can make it much more efficient and good to work."
"If Blue Prism could integrate into Azure SQL because it's essentially an on-prem code, on infrastructure as a service. So, Blue Prism has moved the infrastructure into the cloud, but they haven't necessarily moved the application into cloud-native."
"The pricing was a bit high, from what I understand. That might have played a role in the decision to migrate to another solution."
"Blue Prism Cloud needs to improve support, though documentation is available online. It is not detailed, which does not help."
"Several things need improvement, like ease-of-use, adding tended robots, adding process recording, and updating the look and feel so it seems modern."
"There are a few smart services that are not available in Blue Prism. For example, Excel sheets that are converted into a CS sheet have limitations with the number of columns when imported. This could be improved."
"The version control could be improved and made consistent. There is a discrepancy between the versions on premise and the cloud versions."
"Blue Prism is slightly difficult for the non-technical user."
"It is challenging to scale the solution across multiple branches."
"Microsoft Power Automate requires some knowledge and understanding of nuances for setup and security approvals."
"There is a limitation in setting up loops, where it does not support multiple conditions."
"We need a more powerful desktop option."
"The OCR part or scanning of documents is missing."
"The debugging tools require improvement as well as the monitoring which goes along with it."
"I was working on it for around three days and then took a break of about two days. When I went back to it, all of the Excel, and all the Excel functions, just disappeared. Completely vanished. When I looked up the help, it said that sometimes that happens when you're not connected to the internet."
"Better support is needed for building custom components on top of ProcessRobot."
