"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.""I can use it as a library by importing Python scripts, allowing me to access its many features while working with coding.""The ability to create separate organizations on this platform makes it easier to bill each of the clients separately.""Robocorp is based on Python, so you can use Python scripts and create libraries for your use cases. Building libraries and custom scripts for a particular client and general use cases is easy.

Cons
"This solution should be more resilient, with robots more capable of recovering after an error.""Any task that is automated needs to be very simple. This tool does not seem to handle complicated tasks very well.""The solution is difficult to customize. I would like to see more flexibility when it comes to using different kinds of activities.""The BPM component needs improvement.""The solution's licensing model is very complex and not straightforward.""We need a more powerful desktop option.""Tech support could be more hands-on. Right now, they simply direct users to documentation instead of directly dealing with issues.""When you try to create a flow or work on the flow in Microsoft Power Automate you cannot undo changes. There are no options to edit or, undo an action. This feature would be useful. The editing option within the flow can be enhanced."

More Microsoft Power Automate Cons →

"The solution could be more stable.""An additional feature I'm looking for in Robocorp is SAP automation.""The standard libraries in Robocorp should be more advanced.""The platform's documentation could be better.""We would also like an integrated PDF reader and better integration with custom solutions. The built-in Excel customization is limited, but we can still accomplish what we want using Python. We must rely on Python to customize processes in Robocorp. I don't know about the latest IDE from Robocorp, but the old one doesn't have a lot of activities.""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.""It would be better if it were more user-friendly for non-technical users. It would be better if they had some drag-and-drop features to create logic.""The deployment process is complex and not straightforward, especially for legacy modernization."

    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.
