IBM Robotic Process Automation vs. Microsoft Power Automate

This tool is capable of filling out forms for various records and work applications, and offers advanced functionalities that can be quickly comprehended. Although it requires expertise to manage, it is user-friendly and not overly complex to operate. Our cost savings have been achieved by minimizing manual labor and optimizing our resources. I appreciate IBM's support in automating various use-cases, enabling us to implement solutions for our clients regardless of their industry or department.

We replaced all the classic SharePoint and Nintex-based workflows with Power Automate. This saved extra licensing costs and getaways from managing legacy workflows. Power Automate Designer is very user-friendly and requires no additional learning curve. We also use it to replace RPA solutions created with other platforms using the Power Automate Desktop application.

• Sending confirmation email to clients and user once the flow is triggered.
• Fetching or Dumping files from one location to another if the flow is triggered.
• Schedule flow helps to send alerts and triggers the flow at a specific interval of time to carry out the required task.
• Power Automate also be used to convert any file format to a specific file format and save it to the required location

• It's complex and pricey, thus it's not practical for use in most small enterprises.
• It takes some time to get accustomed to and it is challenging to absorb everything and understand each function when not all of it is addressed in the manual.
• We recommend making improvements to the Chatbot integration and making it easier to build.

• No activity disable feature in the workflow, this would have saved lot of time
• Allow turn off feature to not trigger any pending runs in the queue or add new feature to just run pending runs when the workflow is turned off
• Allow easy copy and paste activities from UI

We have the best use case and the experience with IBM Robotic Process Automation good to go for continues renewal for this tool.

Power Automate is a great product that has a vast array of options on how to use it. Your imagination is the only hurdle with using Power Automate as there is no limit to what can be done with the system. It has brought a lot of value to our business through the use of custom systems, connectors, and streamlining processes.

IBM RPA is a very powerful tool, it has almost all the features that are necessary to build, implement and manage highly functional robots. The learning curve is very fast, so excellent skills are acquired. It is not necessary to have strong programming knowledge because its use is very easy. It is just drag and drop commands. By adding rules and logic, wonderful robots can be achieved.

For most tasks WinAutomation is great and easy to use. You just set up tasks on a step by step basis and you can even tell the program what to do when there is an error (such as continue with job). Sometimes with complicated web extraction jobs it would be good to be able to easily extract data from the web page source.

IBM has done a great job with enablement for the product. There is documentation for use-cases, development videos for beginners, and a community forum that has proven useful for getting started with the application. Although the resources cannot solve every problem a developer comes across, they have been very beneficial to our technical team.

both Community support and Microsoft official support typically respond to (and resolve) reported issues in a VERY expedient manner, usually going above and beyond for education and bugfixing. I have been thoroughly impressed with the level of support I had been provided in the past.

after reviewing the main features of Power Automate, the Microsoft trainer focused on some of our real life use cases implementation, from simple to more advanced.

although it was productive, it is more difficult to stay focused and in a 7 hours a day online training (including screen share issues and the fact that the trainer just can't precisely show the exact location of your mistake)

I had to migrate from Robocorp to Power Automate. The automation was using API and sharepoint. So it was better to use Power Automate instead of Robocorp so we did the migration. in some areas the migration was easy but creating flows and making it smaller codes was difficult. Debugging the code was tough so we took lots of time.

1.RPA Functionality: Both IBM RPA and Accenture RPA offer core RPA functionalities, such as the ability to automate rule-based, repetitive tasks, data entry, and data extraction from various applications and systems. 2.User-Friendly Design: Both platforms typically provide user-friendly interfaces and low-code or no-code development environments, allowing business users to create and manage automation processes without extensive coding knowledge. 3. Scalability: IBM RPA and Accenture RPA are designed to scale across an organization to address automation needs in various departments and processes.

Power Automate can do many things that most platforms can't do as a 'citizen-developer' with no access to coding tools and deployment. It allows you to develop and deploy low/no-cost automation flows quickly. The blocks in Powert Automate do the API work for you, where you only need to connect the key data points and actions taken.
