Should I choose Blue Prism or Microsoft Power Automate?

Why is one a better choice than the other?

Hello Netanya, it depends on your needs and your expertise. 


In my humble opinion you can start a big RPA project implementation with Blue Prism which is stable and mature software, in order to serve unattended (many) and attended (few) automation but you need some skills to understand how to use blue prism in the right manner.


If you need to develop an attended automation by your own, if it is your first time with RPA and you don't have any requirements for a standard implementation (machine, security polcies, orchestrator/tower control etc..) you can chose Power Automate as quick and citizien solutions.

Hi Shibu, a new concept within the RPAaaS, besides being available from the cloud, is pay for what you use.   Still most platforms provide the 24x7 availability of agents which for SMB are too expensive. AutomationEdge, which is considered a contender in the 2021 PEAK analysis from Everest, has an option to pay by chunks of minutes and/or chunks of operations, in case of IT automation, per month.
