We performed a comparison between Microsoft Power Automate and Robocorp 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."Power Automate is intuitive and easy to use."
"Automation is the best feature of the product."
"The tool is very good at implementing automation within processes. It's saved us from doing a lot of manual processes."
"The approval feature is the most important feature. We also use the flow history feature. It is a very useful product as compared to other products. We can automate easily when a list is updated. We can also handle approval-related issues and integrate it with emails."
"It's an intuitive product. It's not overly technical."
"It is basically free for me because it comes with my Office 365 subscription. The main feature is that there is abundant learning material on platforms like YouTube. You can find information about whatever you want to be done in Spanish or English without a problem. It is very easy to learn. Users can start using it on their own without any former training, which is something I like about this solution."
"Its integration with SharePoint and Outlook is the most valuable. I found it very easy to use. I could do everything that I wanted very quickly, and I didn't have any complications at all. I never had a problem in using Microsoft Power Automate."
"The whole platform seamlessly integrates well."
"The ability to create separate organizations on this platform makes it easier to bill each of the clients separately."
"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."
"It supports Python runtime because of that, runtime also improves."
"The product has a valuable business process automation feature."
"I can use it as a library by importing Python scripts, allowing me to access its many features while working with coding."
"The process execution and all features are very good."
"It offers high scalability and enables automation in ways that haven't been possible before."
"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. We can reuse those scripts for other clients, so we start seeing benefits quickly."
"Microsoft Power Automate could improve by adding more features to the free version it would be good because there are many features that you have to pay for. There are some functions that IT personnel, like myself, have a difficult time using and could be made more user-friendly."
"On the governance side, there isn't enough documentation on how to govern Power Automate. People just build bespoke automation, which then becomes a problem point for different companies."
"Microsoft Power Automate's basic activities are not strong."
"There should be more transparency when it comes to which features accompany the pricing, as there appear to be hidden features of which I am not aware."
"Any task that is automated needs to be very simple. This tool does not seem to handle complicated tasks very well."
"The integration of our system into Power Automate was a bit tricky. We had to put a data lake in place before automating anything because we were not very structured in terms of data. Our major issue was cleaning up the data."
"AI-enabled voice recognition features could be included in the product."
"It should be more stable, and their technical support should be faster. It should also have more integration with tools from other vendors, such as SAP and Oracle, and technology partners, such as Salesforce."
"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."
"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 platform's documentation could be better."
"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 solution could be more stable."
"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."
"I don't like the complexity of deployment."
"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."
