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."IBM RPA helped us resolve a lot of difficult cases we could not resolve using other solutions."
"It's user-friendly; even non-technical people can program bots using drag-and-drop functionalities."
"The initial setup is very easy."
"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 most valuable feature is the ability to automate mundane tasks. This improves efficiency, reliability, etc. You can form critical operations which can be highly automated."
"The solution's ease of use is its most valuable aspect."
"The solution’s performance is good."
"I think simplicity is key. One of the things that we've noticed is how our developers have been able to quickly adopt the platform; but not only the developers or the techy people, also the business."
"The development time for ProcessRobot is very good compared to other solutions."
"This product has an easy-to-use interface with nice detail in the features."
"Power Automate Desktop allowed me to quickly visually identify parts of a screen and record it. So I can see that I know I'm going to have to click this button here, this field there, and this tab here, and I can literally go and quickly just record all of them and identify them and have them in a list that I can see and say - there's my list of things."
"Third-party integrations with third-party applications are quite easy."
"The solution is very easy to use. It's a code three platform that works very easily with documents to create custom automations."
"The solution is easy to understand and to develop connectors."
"The initial setup isn't too difficult."
"The initial setup is pretty easy."
"The time it takes for approvals, and risk analysis could be faster."
"We can use its inbuilt activities, and it's a complete package, but just like ElectroNeek, a limitation is that we have to depend on its inbuilt activities. We can't include our own activities or we can't introduce other activities."
"We are looking to see how it can connect with various interfaces seamlessly, through APIs."
"This RPA should be under the umbrella of BPM. This is what the future should be."
"IBM Robotic Process Automation should be more stable."
"We're based in Thailand, but the documentation is not in Thai, which makes it difficult for us. If they could translate all of their documentation into our language, we'd be very grateful."
"I would like to have more flexibility in connecting the platform with third-party systems."
"The product's document readers must be improved to capture the data well."
"Microsoft Power Automate could improve by offering recurring execution on the desktop."
"Their connector to Oracle or premium data sets that aren't Microsoft would often fail for me. The information given back about why it failed wasn't always robust to understand how to fix it and why it happened."
"Any task that is automated needs to be very simple. This tool does not seem to handle complicated tasks very well."
"There are frequent version updates and that impacts different algorithms so we have to adjust our code."
"More scripting capabilities could be included in Microsoft Power Automate."
"In an upcoming release, the exception handling mechanism could improve. The issue that we are facing is whenever there is a failure in any of the middle execution and if you wanted to navigate it to the end of the last line of execution, we do not have this feature available. If we had this feature it would make it even more stable."
"The BPM component needs improvement."
"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."
