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."The solution’s performance is good."
"The feature I found most valuable is the TCO."
"The solution is scalability."
"It's user-friendly; even non-technical people can program bots using drag-and-drop functionalities."
"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."
"We can connect with different database types, and they have included a different package for a terminal connection to, for example, AS400. When it comes to UI development, it's not using the drivers or anything. It's not a selector-based development like UiPath."
"I like the scalability option and the simplicity, the way we can really use the interface to easily scale up."
"The most valuable features of Microsoft Power Automate are the connectors, such as loops, which make things easier."
"The solution offers a lot of documentation and tutorials for users to learn about various aspects and features."
"The most valuable feature is how much you can do with this solution."
"The initial setup is pretty straightforward."
"The whole platform seamlessly integrates well."
"Technical support is responsive."
"Third-party integrations with third-party applications are quite easy."
"The product's document readers must be improved to capture the data well."
"We would like a decreased need for customer support."
"I would like to improve the efficiency of this solution and the Surface Level Agreement."
"IBM Robotic Process Automation should be more stable."
"We can use its inbuilt activities, and it's a complete package, but just like ElectroNeek, a limitation is that we have to depend on its inbuilt activities. We can't include our own activities or we can't introduce other activities."
"The scalability of the solution can be challenging."
"Sometimes it can be difficult to share flows for multiple users to edit."
"They should include a custom plugin feature so that we can add our custom connections."
"The solution could have more integration with different platforms."
"Microsoft Power Automate could improve by adding more features to the free version it would be good because there are many features that you have to pay for. There are some functions that IT personnel, like myself, have a difficult time using and could be made more user-friendly."
"On the governance side, there isn't enough documentation on how to govern Power Automate. People just build bespoke automation, which then becomes a problem point for different companies."
"Power Automate is too complicated - it forces you to go through extra tasks instead of streamlining your workflow."
"The downside is the lack of orchestration and supplemental tools such as capturing existing processes and using them to build out."
"The product should improve its RPA capabilities."
