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."
"The quality is great! It's very strong and has a very strong platform."
"If you have a business process, and once you have automated that process, you have a readily available workflow in place."
"I like the integration with Watson and the possibility to have an intelligent reading of all the customers' documents."
"The solution is scalability."
"IBM Robotic Process Automation is very easy to use."
"Automation is the best feature of the product."
"Its integration with the Office 365 ecosystem is most valuable. We use a lot of ready-to-use templates."
"Workflow management is what clients select the most. It is very intuitive and pretty much drag-and-drop, so we can create escalation, decision flows, and if-else conditions pretty much by dragging and dropping boxes. Even someone who is not technical can develop a workflow for the business."
"You can automate almost everything in your organization by simply dragging and dropping and selecting a few options, whether it's an Excel spreadsheet or other on-premise data."
"With the desktop version, we can automate many things. The ability to do a lot of things is one of the most valuable features."
"It is Microsoft. So, you get the integration capability."
"The most valuable feature is how much you can do with this solution."
"It is a great solution for simple automation activities or simple automation of simple tasks. It is also integrated with Office 365. Integration is an absolute breeze with any RPA software."
"This RPA should be under the umbrella of BPM. This is what the future should be."
"IBM Robotic Process Automation should be more stable."
"The time it takes for approvals, and risk analysis could be faster."
"Stability could be better."
"IBM should provide specific solutions for specific problems, like templates for invoicing processes, or general templates for creating efficient processes."
"We would like a decreased need for customer support."
"It lacks a lot of functionality that other tools have. There should be queue management, and there should also be the capability to deal with a little bit more complex automation. If it had queue support and if it was capable of doing more complex automation, it would be a much better tool."
"It would be great if it was able to integrate more with various other platforms. It would make development easier."
"When compared to other workflow automation tools out there, it's just not as mature."
"Sometimes, Microsoft changes the game rules, and the free tools are no longer free, which makes it too hard to explain to customers. It is a SaaS service, so the cost is calculated based on the execution hours. However, we don't know the background of this cost because we cannot touch the infrastructure. They can be more open to developers or customers about this. The infrastructure part must be open for the customers."
"Their OCR capabilities are not as evolved as the other tools."
"They can build more templates and more connectivity with other platforms. They can provide a more user-friendly way to connect with other platforms. They have their own in-built plugins for certain third-party vendors, but there are still a lot of third-party vendors that are not there."
"Its licensing model should be improved. The pricing should be more visible and transparent. When you consume services, there are too many criteria to figure out how much it is going to cost you to use the product to its full extent. It should also support visual process editing, which is a standard feature for BPMN 2.0 compliance. They should improve the visual designer."
"The BPM component needs improvement."
