Executive SummaryUpdated on Dec 4, 2024

Microsoft Power Automate and Robocorp are leading competitors in the automation software market. Based on feature breadth and integration, Microsoft Power Automate appears to offer an advantage due to its richer ecosystem within Microsoft tools.

Features: Microsoft Power Automate is known for its extensive template library, facilitating seamless integration within the Microsoft ecosystem. It provides low-code automation options great for non-technical users and supports connectors to integrate with various Microsoft applications. Robocorp leverages Python for development, delivering highly-customizable and scalable automation solutions. It caters effectively to organizations needing advanced Python-based solutions, enhancing flexibility in automation processes.

Room for Improvement: Microsoft Power Automate lacks improved AI capabilities and OCR functionality, with challenges in non-Microsoft integrations. Users find licensing complex and premium features trial periods missing. Robocorp requires advancements in its UI design and easier deployment options. It would benefit from enhanced library support and a streamlined debugging process for improved usability.

Ease of Deployment and Customer Service: Microsoft Power Automate deploys across various environments with mixed feedback on technical support. It enjoys community support but slow technical assistance responses. Robocorp's setup is straightforward, focusing on public cloud deployment but shows limitations in swift support response and comprehensive solutions.

Pricing and ROI: Microsoft Power Automate is budget-friendly for Office 365 users but complex in licensing and premium costs, providing considerable ROI by reducing manual labor. Robocorp is affordable, with a transparent pay-as-you-go model favorably viewed, especially for organizations seeking scalable pricing without upfront fees.

Automating processes has saved time and improved communication

Something frustrates me concerning Microsoft Power Automate, and that is about the integration with Microsoft Forms and Excel. The issue now is that I don't get my responses synchronized automatically, and that frustrates me a lot. If the team could take this as feedback, the synchronization of the feedback responses from the forms and the Excel sheets should be seamless. This synchronization issue happens frequently, and it causes a lot of delays in the sense that the mails that ought to go out to the agents fail at some point. I have to reload these responses so that the agents can get their responses as when submitted. What I notice is that the responses don't go out without proper synchronization, so I reload the field responses, and this works afterwards. I would say probably a seamless walkthrough process for new users would be beneficial. For those using it for the first time, a seamless walkthrough process would be fine.

It's easy to create Python libraries and custom scripts for a particular client and general use cases

We've had conversations with the head of Robocorp over Slack about things we want to improve. We want to introduce some packages, but the authentication tokens and many other things are not there. We can do it in Python, but the custom packages are unavailable. 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. I don't know if they have updated the UI in the latest version, but they could improve that. The UI selector isn't that great. It would be nice to take elements from the console and customize parts. Everything is based on command lines, which I do not like. A flow chart with block items would be good for optimizing code. I would also like more support tools for developers so it's easier to understand when passing code to others.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:

Pros

"If people have a Microsoft Enterprise license, they could actually use the Power Automate tool to make their processes much more lean and efficient."

"The best part is the automated workflow, which is quite good and easy. It is just drag-and-drop. We are able to create workflows quite quickly. We are able to directly integrate the data that it generates with Power BI dashboards. Its integration is quite good with other Microsoft tools, such as Power BI. The visualization of the data has become helpful for us."

"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 development time for ProcessRobot is very good compared to other solutions."

"Microsoft Power Automate is very easy to use."

"In just in one click, we can see any documentation, etc., that we need. It makes it very easy to navigate."

"The most valuable feature is that it is pretty low-code, so you don't need much coding expertise to use it."

"The engineers on-site can generate an automated report that takes approximately 10 minutes, while before it took them two days."

More Microsoft Power Automate pros

"I like the fact that it's very fast. The processing speed is good, and that's what matters to me. I also like that we don't have to bother with the infrastructure setup. We don't have to care about the status of the data set, as I believe the local group will provide it. We don't care about the licensing model. We only have to care about how long we are using it."

"I can use it as a library by importing Python scripts, allowing me to access its many features while working with coding."

"I have worked with UiPath and Automation Anywhere previously. Robocorp offers an improved development style and support as well as flexibility of its tools. You can easily develop custom libraries in Robocorp."

"The process execution and all features are very good."

"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 solution is based on Python which makes it very valuable."

"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."

More Robocorp pros

Cons

"The solution could have more integration with different platforms."

"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."

"I have had some issues with stability where I received a surprising error message and still don't know why it happened."

"We need a more powerful desktop option."

"I rate the technical support from Microsoft Power Automate a four out of five."

"They've already improved it, but I guess a testing suite would be nice to be able to test your automations in real time."

"There should be a comprehensive or enterprise level of application to provide the cognitive AI, and there should be orchestration so that I can control all the robots on one station. The other tools are currently providing these features."

"WinAutomation is scalable to a certain extent. I would rate it seven for the scalability, which could be better. Softomotive is better scalable than WinAutomation in this regard."

More Microsoft Power Automate cons

"I preferred the user interface in the older versions. When troubleshooting, it's sometimes hard to find details about where things went wrong. You need to search a little harder. It takes more clicks to get to where you want to go. It can be somewhat confusing. When you run a process that fails, it takes you somewhere you may not expect."

"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."

"The solution could be more stable."

"An additional feature I'm looking for in Robocorp is SAP automation."

"The deployment process is complex and not straightforward, especially for legacy modernization."

"It would be better if it were more user-friendly for non-technical users. It would be better if they had some drag-and-drop features to create logic."

"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."

"I don't like the complexity of deployment."

More Robocorp cons

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The cost to use Microsoft Power Automate is approximately $15 per user per month, for the basic plan. However, the solution comes free with the Microsoft 365 Suite."

"You can have two types of licenses, one is user-based, and the other is app-based in the Power Platform."

"The price of the solution is reasonable. I rate the pricing a five out of ten."

"They have the community edition that people can use for free, and they also have the enterprise edition. My company uses the enterprise edition, and I don't know how much they pay."

"The licensing cost for us at this time is between $8 and $20 per user, per month."

"Its license is a part of our enterprise agreement. It is a three-year contract, but we pay yearly. So, it is a yearly license. There are no additional costs."

"This is a cost-effective product and now that it has been acquired by Microsoft, we don't expect the cost to increase with the next release."

"The pricing is reasonable and the western license is fantastic."
