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."It's integrated with all the other products within the Salesforce ecosystem."
"It's user-friendly; even non-technical people can program bots using drag-and-drop functionalities."
"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."
"We can connect with different database types, and they have included a different package for a terminal connection to, for example, AS400. When it comes to UI development, it's not using the drivers or anything. It's not a selector-based development like UiPath."
"IBM RPA helped us resolve a lot of difficult cases we could not resolve using other solutions."
"The solution’s performance is good."
"The solution is scalability."
"I like the integration with Watson and the possibility to have an intelligent reading of all the customers' documents."
"We have talked to Microsoft. We're a large company and we're talking to Microsoft on a regular basis. We have a partner we talk to when it comes to Automate. We are absolutely satisfied with technical support."
"The most valuable feature is the ability to integrate across multiple systems."
"To me, what's most useful in WinAutomation by Softomotive is that it's quite intuitive, especially because most of the capabilities of the older WinAutomation remain. You also don't need to do or know hard coding, and this is another useful feature of the solution. I also like that WinAutomation by Softomotive integrates very well with Microsoft products, especially Microsoft Office, and this is great news because most companies use Microsoft Office. Having a very good integration with the Microsoft Office suite covers a lot of bases, and is one of the advantages of WinAutomation by Softomotive."
"You can create a flow, and it can be shared across different environments."
"The program requires no code making it very easy to implement various functions."
"With the desktop version, we can automate many things. The ability to do a lot of things is one of the most valuable features."
"Currently, we are mostly using the desktop part of it for data. We are basically extracting the data and then putting it in."
"It makes work easier."
"The product must be promoted more."
"Needs better integration with artificial intelligence or with machine-learning."
"We would like more focus on understanding AI and how it can be used to manage exception handling."
"IBM should provide specific solutions for specific problems, like templates for invoicing processes, or general templates for creating efficient processes."
"I would like to improve the efficiency of this solution and the Surface Level Agreement."
"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."
"The product's document readers must be improved to capture the data well."
"Capturing GUI operations is very easy, but capturing IBM Logistics automation is hard. It does not always work with browsers or automotive applications like SAP."
"The solution is not actually satisfying the complex programs that we want to execute."
"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."
"Its licensing model should be improved. The pricing should be more visible and transparent. When you consume services, there are too many criteria to figure out how much it is going to cost you to use the product to its full extent. It should also support visual process editing, which is a standard feature for BPMN 2.0 compliance. They should improve the visual designer."
"When comparing with Automation Anywhere, there are a couple of things that this product doesn't have. One of the major things is the key management system. It would be great if they improve this. Its documentation can also be improved."
"While working with big data, when we have structured data like logs, we have to work with an ETL tool before manipulating the data and creating the workflows and the forms. This can be improved. Big data support is something that I'd like to be covered a lot."
"Power Automate is too complicated - it forces you to go through extra tasks instead of streamlining your workflow."
"They can improve the description of errors and provide more details. Sometimes, when I receive an error, I can't understand what is wrong. It would be useful to have a desktop version to modify or edit workflows. Its scalability can also be better."
"The solution is still maturing, and it's going to take time for that to happen."
