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."The initial setup isn't too difficult."
"I like that Power Automate gives us a connector to be able to connect different data sources or different software."
"Currently, we are mostly using the desktop part of it for data. We are basically extracting the data and then putting it in."
"The most valuable features of Microsoft Power Automate are the connectors, such as loops, which make things easier."
"It is a very useful solution. You don't need to create an infrastructure in your environment just for triggers or executions. You don't need to invest in the infrastructure. With Power Automate, we can call or trigger custom web services and routines. We are also using the flow for gathering data from Microsoft Dynamics."
"The initial setup is pretty straightforward."
"It is easy to migrate from other tools to Power Automate."
"The technical support is good."
"The product has a valuable business process automation feature."
"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."
"I can use it as a library by importing Python scripts, allowing me to access its many features while working with coding."
"It offers high scalability and enables automation in ways that haven't been possible before."
"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."
"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."
"The price is good."
"The process execution and all features are very good."
"When you are doing desktop automation, they do not have a clear structure to create the code."
"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."
"Sometimes there are issues with security policies within the company. Some parts get blacked. There are some drawbacks when we use it connected to the cloud. We need to convince clients to open some parts. This is often an issue that originates from the company itself, not Power Automate."
"The issue lies more in how you learn the solution. The information is very generalized. It could be extremely useful to have more specific information about how to use various features within the platform."
"They've already improved it, but I guess a testing suite would be nice to be able to test your automations in real time."
"We find the solution to be not that user-friendly, and might be using the older version, which really did not have a lot of features, so my review is mostly based on the older version."
"Inability to use a lot of connectors without having a premium license."
"They need to come up with a little more on AI and precision discovery path to be able to record the processes."
"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 solution could be more stable."
"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 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."
"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."
"An additional feature I'm looking for in Robocorp is SAP automation."
"I don't like the complexity of deployment."
