Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"I like the scalability option and the simplicity, the way we can really use the interface to easily scale up.""The most valuable feature is how much you can do with this solution.""The development time for ProcessRobot is very good compared to other solutions.""Good core applications.""The connectors are a very good feature.""I like Power Automate because it is very easy to use for users who don't have IT knowledge.""This product is a really easy-to-use solution for quickly developing prototypes.""There is an exhaustive amount of templates that users have access to."

"I have worked with UiPath and Automation Anywhere previously. Robocorp offers an improved development style and support as well as flexibility of its tools. You can easily develop custom libraries in Robocorp.""It offers high scalability and enables automation in ways that haven't been possible before.""It supports Python runtime because of that, runtime also improves.""As a developer, I found it easy to integrate third-party applications with Robocorp. I have previous experience with Selenium, and I found the Robocorp framework to be accessible because it uses Python and Selenium keywords.""I can use it as a library by importing Python scripts, allowing me to access its many features while working with coding.""The product has a valuable business process automation feature.""It's easy to deploy bots via the API helper in Control Room. Robocorp's debugging features are also robust. It shows you a lot of data.""The price is good."

Cons
"These products have some limitations, such as the need to build some custom controls in PCF or use the JSON format.""What needs improvement in WinAutomation by Softomotive is its stability. Stability is quite important to me. Another area for improvement in the solution is robot scheduling because it's not 100% accurate, in particular, it's 90% accurate. The monitoring of the robot could also be improved because it's not very straightforward, and you have to look in a few places or at least two places which means that monitoring is not a one-glance process.""Sometimes it can be difficult to share flows for multiple users to edit.""It is challenging to scale the solution across multiple branches.""If someone was just about to start using it, it would be better if it was a bit more user-friendly in terms of understanding function references. I come from a bit of development background. To me, it all makes quite a lot of sense, but someone using it for the first time would probably battle understanding how the functions work. This might be something they could improve on. It would be really useful if it could publish data to Power BI. We like to use Power BI for our reporting, but we can't directly integrate the data across. If there was a way to automate the collection of the data and push it straight into the Power BI platform, it would be quite useful.""Microsoft Power Automate requires some knowledge and understanding of nuances for setup and security approvals.""Execution of workflows could be improved.""They've already improved it, but I guess a testing suite would be nice to be able to test your automations in real time."

More Microsoft Power Automate Cons →

"The solution could be more stable.""There are certain libraries in Python, such as those dealing with PDF automation and word files, that require the presence of certain external dependencies in the environment to be successfully used.""The deployment process is complex and not straightforward, especially for legacy modernization.""Robocorp is still in development, so most of the keywords are a bit confusing. I have to alter lots of automation steps between processing and development. However, Selenium is due for an update soon, and Robcorp is addressing some of the limitations caused by the previous Selenium version.""The platform's documentation could be better.""We use the latest version of the process studio and it takes up a lot of CPU storage. In our case, this has been up to 14 GB of storage.""The standard libraries in Robocorp should be more advanced.""An additional feature I'm looking for in Robocorp is SAP automation."

    Overview

    Microsoft Power Automate is a powerful tool that streamlines and automates tasks within an organization. 

    It is used for workflow automation, data integration, and creating automated notifications and approvals. 

    Power Automate connects different applications and services, such as SharePoint, Excel, and Outlook, to automate data transfer and synchronization. 

    Most robotic process automation initiatives fail to get off the ground because the current drag-and-drop offerings are expensive and frustrating for developers. Robocorp is a Python-based open source stack for automating applications and processes. Automate any task you can imagine with hundreds of keywords and libraries with performance, scalability, and security built-in. Our cloud robots can run on any platform from any machine, and scale horizontally to ensure mission-critical processes complete as efficiently as possible. Getting started is free, and our resource-based pricing ensures your costs are always straightforward - no matter how much your implementation grows.
