We performed a comparison between IBM Robotic Process Automation (RPA) 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."IBM Robotic Process Automation is very easy to use."
"I like the integration with Watson and the possibility to have an intelligent reading of all the customers' documents."
"IBM Robotic Process Automation has greatly improved the organization by improving the speed of performance, as the speed of the robot is estimated to be 20 times faster than the human being."
"The solution is scalability."
"Microsoft Power Automate is very easy to use."
"Technical support is available regionally and it's quite good."
"So far, the tech support has provided me with good enough support and knowledge."
"I like the scalability option and the simplicity, the way we can really use the interface to easily scale up."
"Currently, we are mostly using the desktop part of it for data. We are basically extracting the data and then putting it in."
"The solution offers a lot of documentation and tutorials for users to learn about various aspects and features."
"Overall, it is a great service at the given price. It is very modern, and it integrates in a great way with pretty much anything. It is also fast."
"It is quick, so I'm quite happy with it. It is also easy to use."
"Stability could be better."
"The time it takes for approvals, and risk analysis could be faster."
"IBM Robotic Process Automation should be more stable."
"We would like a decreased need for customer support."
"From an improvement perspective, Microsoft just needs to make sure that they have a real enterprise RPA tool. PowerApps and Power Automate are still not at the level of UiPath and Automation Anywhere. It could be because Automation Anywhere and UiPath have been in the market for quite some time. It's just about Microsoft increasing their focus in terms of product reviews and development and making them competitive products that one can consider at an enterprise level. Right now, their use cases are limited as compared to what one would consider doing with UiPath and Automation Anywhere."
"The downside is the lack of orchestration and supplemental tools such as capturing existing processes and using them to build out."
"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."
"The connectors and the integration capability can be improved. Microsoft RPA is a growing platform, and it is not yet particularly mature."
"During their merger, some key functions were eliminated which no longer allows it to run independently from the cloud as a standalone for other companies. For example, options to schedule and trigger have been removed. It would be nice to have these capabilities back. The flow and the connectivity between databases and so on is a bit complex as well."
"Power Automate is too complicated - it forces you to go through extra tasks instead of streamlining your workflow."
"We need a more powerful desktop option."
"They can improve the description of errors and provide more details. Sometimes, when I receive an error, I can't understand what is wrong. It would be useful to have a desktop version to modify or edit workflows. Its scalability can also be better."
