Choosing an RPA Platform
UiPath
Comprehensive toolchain and ecosystem suitable for broad, complex programs. Strong orchestration, testing, and discovery features.
Automation Anywhere
Cloud-first orientation, solid bot ops, and governance out of the box. Good fit where centralized cloud management is valued.
Microsoft Power Automate
Deep M365 integration and attractive bundles; excellent for workflow and attended desktop scenarios and for democratizing quick wins.
Boomi
Integration-led automation that complements RPA with robust data movement and API mediation. Use RPA for UI gaps that lack APIs.
Decision Checklist
Pick the platform that fits your landscape, security posture, AI roadmap, and operating model—not just feature lists.
- Credential vaulting, RBAC, and audit logs.
- VDI/Citrix/browser support and resilience to layout changes.
- Observability, SLOs, and runbooks for operations.
- TCO: licenses, infra, and skills availability.
