We performed a comparison between IBM Robotic Process Automation (RPA) and Microsoft Power Automate 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 solution’s performance is good."
"The solution is very user-friendly."
"IBM RPA helped us resolve a lot of difficult cases we could not resolve using other solutions."
"The feature I found most valuable is the TCO."
"It's not inclusive, in terms of automation, you can just do it standalone, in its own silo. It's not going to force your existing system or teams, your admin teams, to create new IDs for you or even force them to create new services or APIs for you or expose something from there. They can just keep the way they are doing it right now, but you still automate it."
"The solution is scalability."
"The initial setup is very easy."
"Integrating the tool with SAP, EBS, or other ERPs is easy."
"The most valuable features of Microsoft Power Automate are user-friendliness and low coding functionality."
"The integrations that are built into Power Automate for those different Microsoft functions are good."
"This product is a really easy-to-use solution for quickly developing prototypes."
"The best feature is that it doesn't require any other connectivity."
"It is a stable solution."
"It's easy to learn."
"The sequencer programming mode's ease of use is its most valuable aspect. The ease of calling out the functions in a sequence, basically from the functional side, is great."
"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."
"The scalability of the solution can be challenging."
"The product must be promoted more."
"We are looking to see how it can connect with various interfaces seamlessly, through APIs."
"One of the things I would definitely like to see is more of the machine-learning and cognitive capabilities. For example, now that we're starting to automate more and more tasks, there are some things that still require us to go back and modify the robots when we need to. But if we had more of the machine-learning integrated into it, I believe it would be easier to maintain, so that we wouldn't have to go back and adjust every time."
"I would like it to do pretty much everything out-of-the-box without any need for any customization. However, that is not the case right now. We absolutely have to do some amount of customization with the solution in order to use it out-of-the-box as-is."
"There are certain limitations in the solution for screen reading."
"Stability could be better."
"IBM should provide specific solutions for specific problems, like templates for invoicing processes, or general templates for creating efficient processes."
"More scripting capabilities could be included in Microsoft Power Automate."
"The OCR functionality needs to be improved."
"It would be great if it was able to integrate more with various other platforms. It would make development easier."
"I would like more integration with other tools. It integrates well with Microsoft products, but there should be more integration with other platforms and tools, such as chatbots."
"I've had some issues with the stability."
"There are some bugs or intermittent behavior in the Excel activities that require using workarounds."
"I've had issues with reordering columns. When I tried to do it, it seemed to take a long time, and then, later, it gave me some kind of error."
"It is mostly integrated with the Microsoft environment. Unlike UiPath, we cannot really use external tools with Microsoft Power Automate. There should be a possibility to integrate it with external tools or systems."
