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 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."
"I think simplicity is key. One of the things that we've noticed is how our developers have been able to quickly adopt the platform; but not only the developers or the techy people, also the business."
"The good stuff about IBM is the fact that it's very easy to use, there are very nice and smart AI tools within the licensing that you don't have to pay any access. Moreover, it's more precise and more secure."
"The solution is very user-friendly."
"The solution's ease of use is its most valuable aspect."
"IBM RPA helped us resolve a lot of difficult cases we could not resolve using other solutions."
"The quality is great! It's very strong and has a very strong platform."
"The solution is scalability."
"Power Automate is intuitive and easy to use."
"It comes as a part of the Microsoft suite, which makes it an easy sell."
"It works best to build cloud flows."
"It is a low-code platform. It is easy to use and good for automating small tasks such as expense approvals, timesheet approvals, etc."
"The most valuable feature is that you can run multiple automations at the same time, in parallel."
"Microsoft Power Automate is very easy to use."
"The most valuable features of Microsoft Power Automate are user-friendliness and low coding functionality."
"The most valuable feature of the solution is that it easily integrates with Azure DevOps."
"IBM Robotic Process Automation should be more stable."
"The time it takes for approvals, and risk analysis could be faster."
"One of the things I would definitely like to see is more of the machine-learning and cognitive capabilities. For example, now that we're starting to automate more and more tasks, there are some things that still require us to go back and modify the robots when we need to. But if we had more of the machine-learning integrated into it, I believe it would be easier to maintain, so that we wouldn't have to go back and adjust every time."
"I would like to have more flexibility in connecting the platform with third-party systems."
"Stability could be better."
"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."
"We would like more focus on understanding AI and how it can be used to manage exception handling."
"The product must be promoted more."
"I would like more integration with other tools. It integrates well with Microsoft products, but there should be more integration with other platforms and tools, such as chatbots."
"Power Automate is too complicated - it forces you to go through extra tasks instead of streamlining your workflow."
"While working with big data, when we have structured data like logs, we have to work with an ETL tool before manipulating the data and creating the workflows and the forms. This can be improved. Big data support is something that I'd like to be covered a lot."
"It's not as user-friendly as a solution such as UiPath, which is really easy to use."
"It would be great if it was able to integrate more with various other platforms. It would make development easier."
"They've already improved it, but I guess a testing suite would be nice to be able to test your automations in real time."
"Enhancing Power Automate to work synchronously instead of asynchronously would eliminate the need for additional coding, saving time in project implementation."
"I think the language Microsoft Power Automate uses when you do expressions could be better. What they use is not a popular programming language. It would be better for Microsoft to find a more popular programming language, such as Python. It would take away the whole no-code aspect of the solution but you don't need to write that many lines of code to improve something in a process. Instead of no-code, they could be a low-code environment."
