Automation Anywhere vs PowerApps

• Exception handling is pretty decent. WE don't have to worry about process being stuck as it moves to the next iteration on its own.
• Automation is easier to achieve as it doesn't require high coding skills or designing a specific framework.
• It can achieve PDF editing and automation, which in our case of policy documents has been valuable.

• Because PowerApps is tied to the Office365 environment, it does a very good job at talking to source information in SharePoint. For those considering PowerApps, there is something to be said for the seamless handshakes that Microsoft authors between their own tools.
• If you are wanting to parse down the fields requested (again, in relation to SharePoint) and get away from messing with content types or default forms behind the curtain in SharePoint, PowerApps is a good buffer to selecting exactly what you want to capture and nothing that you don't (that isn't required).
• While still in its early deployment, PowerApps does have good flexibility because of the coding opportunities in the tool. Coding can be a barrier of entry, but it balances code and common sense entry pretty well.
• PowerApps works pretty well on a Mac. Of course, everything Microsoft functions better in Microsoft products (IE, Windows, Edge), but the online authoring tool for PowerApps is just fine for Mac.

• Customizing interface for phones and tablets.
• You are limited in layout, either phone or tablet, no desktop support.
• The "Code Editor" could use some work. Giving you a bigger canvas so to speak.
• It can be buggy if you make changes to data sources and flows outside of PowerApps. I have had one or two controls "break" because I made changes outside of PowerApps.

• Our overall business has saved numerous hours of work where individuals were freed up to perform higher level thinking tasks.
• Following a necessary reduction in workforce that was not driven by RPA, we were able to automate processes that kept the remaining workload from overwhelming the remaining workforce.
• The use of robotics process automation has inspired many workers to come up with different approaches to problems including both automation and analytics.

• I am still developing my application but assuming everything works the way I have laid it out then PowerApps will help us to turn a 10yo marcro-powered Excel workbook with mostly static work-flows into a streamlined and less mistake-prone workflow while utilizing a single database.
• The application will allow us to access dynamic project information in the field via tablet. Previously this could only be done via phone call or email.
