Executive SummaryUpdated on Jul 27, 2025

Blue Prism and Microsoft Power Automate are competing in the RPA market. Microsoft Power Automate seems to have the upper hand for smaller enterprises due to its cost-effectiveness, whereas Blue Prism appeals more to larger enterprises with its robust capabilities.

Features: Blue Prism provides robust SQL database access, comprehensive reporting features, and easy integration with other analytics tools. It also offers a Control Room for exception management, supporting complex business process automation with a user-friendly design studio. Microsoft Power Automate stands out for its seamless integration with Office 365, a low-code environment, and multiple connectors, making it ideal for those with limited technical expertise.

Room for Improvement: Blue Prism requires better AI and machine learning integration, enhancement in customer support responsiveness, and improvements in cognitive learning capabilities. Microsoft Power Automate should improve its RPA features and licensing model, and it needs more AI capabilities to align better with mature RPA solutions. There are also requests for better stability and more comprehensive training resources.

Ease of Deployment and Customer Service: Blue Prism deploys effectively on both on-premises and private clouds but has mixed reviews on customer service due to inefficiencies. Microsoft Power Automate excels in hybrid and public cloud environments, easily integrating with the Microsoft ecosystem. Users find deployment straightforward with strong community support, although complex tech support issues can be challenging.

Pricing and ROI: Blue Prism is costlier, appealing to larger enterprises, yet it provides significant ROI through operational cost savings. Microsoft Power Automate is affordable, especially within an Office 365 subscription, offering substantial ROI by enabling simple process automation with minimal initial investment. Both products cater to different markets based on pricing and scalability.

Q&A Highlights

Tarek Fanous - PeerSpot reviewer
Mar 11, 2022
What are the main technical differences between Microsoft Power Automate and Blue Prism?
Adding to the answer here are the finer points: 1. Workflow technical features - a. ability to create a multi-level approval task. b. ability for the workflow engine to wait till the approval or rejection or any action is performed on the tasks. c. ability to delegate the task in the approval chain. e. Log of all activities within the workflow for the purpose of audit or tracing back the history. f. integration with third-party, internal or line-of-business applications for any data retrieval or data push to the system. g. drag and drop features (a kind of no-code solution) wherein the only configuration is required to create a workflow solution. h. user interface-driven or run as a back-end job to support the workflow process. 2. Robotics automation software features - a. a pure-play automation software that can detect images and other user interface elements on the application and interact with them. b. ability to mimic all human actions and steps while interacting with the software product. c. ability to interact with all types of software environments Citrix, Desktop, Server-based, Cloud, Web, Mobile, etc. d. ability to log activities performed on the application automated and perform all transactional activities and re-execute for any failed transactions. e. ability to interact with a standard application using either web services or another integration framework. g. OCR features to identify user interface elements, etc.

Featured Reviews

Ibukun Shweta - PeerSpot reviewer
Automation optimizes scheduling, but improvements needed in error reporting and script execution
In my particular use case, for session management, it would be better if I could get a more granular view into connectivity issues to servers. Sometimes, although your flows or tasks are running as scheduled, connecting to the servers can hit a snag without alerts or error logs to check. Some servers might need patching or could be affected by network issues or latency. The workflow sometimes gets stuck without clarity on the errors. An explicit error report would be helpful, especially when the connection fails unexpectedly. It's complex to analyze problems that might arise from firewall issues or other anomalies that could hinder the flow from executing as expected. The depth of these connection challenges would benefit from better debugging capabilities. As for improvements, if Automate wasn't designed primarily for script execution, that's understandable. However, for Linux, I would prefer to see less complexity in workflows to achieve a natural completion of scripts. There are features, such as 'wait for terminal output,' that should more intuitively detect completion based on the shell prompt. Improving those aspects would make Automate more efficient for my needs. Regarding error reporting, I think Automate should offer better error reporting when connecting to servers. Currently, there are many instances where I see empty logs, indicating that, while tasks are scheduled, commands are not executing successfully. This is a significant concern, especially with critical workloads where visibility into errors is essential.

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.

Automating processes has saved time and improved communication
Something frustrates me concerning Microsoft Power Automate, and that is about the integration with Microsoft Forms and Excel. The issue now is that I don't get my responses synchronized automatically, and that frustrates me a lot. If the team could take this as feedback, the synchronization of the feedback responses from the forms and the Excel sheets should be seamless. This synchronization issue happens frequently, and it causes a lot of delays in the sense that the mails that ought to go out to the agents fail at some point. I have to reload these responses so that the agents can get their responses as when submitted. What I notice is that the responses don't go out without proper synchronization, so I reload the field responses, and this works afterwards. I would say probably a seamless walkthrough process for new users would be beneficial. For those using it for the first time, a seamless walkthrough process would be fine.
