Laiye RPA vs. Microsoft BizTalk Server

Laiye RPA is suited in repeating and stable business processes which are rule driven, such as finance, human resource, tax report, logistics (stock in and stock out), sales orders to account receivable, and purchase orders to account payable, and etc. It is not appropriate in situation where flexibility is required to complete tasks, or human to human communication is a key factor.

BizTalk is well suited as middleware. Where you wish to translate an input file into an output file and send it to some endpoint. In our case, we used it to convert and send files to SAP. In many ways, it very flexible, and you can do almost anything you want with it. In many ways, it's a better solution than your SAP XI or PI as middleware, since it's much less expensive, and allows you do interface with non-SAP systems.

• Very stable, avoid the embarrassment of system crash.
• The cost of learning is very low, ready to use.
• Rich tutorial, easy to expand different scenes.

• It is very user friendly. Users can change rules during run time and change workflow.
• Huge capacity for queueing messages. It supports all types of adapters like Oracle, Salesforce, SMTP, FTP, etc. Also users can built custom adaptors.

• Well-proven in the market. I used it when developing a website for Virgin Trains, catering more than 800K user requests per day.
• Helps in load balancing.

I gave a 7 because this product BizTalk does need time and training to get familiar with the usability and features, it is not that easy to use.

Besides the competitive pricing, I really feel its OCR feature is one of a kind and a major distinguishing factor which gives Laiye RPA an upper hand against other RPA vendors whose OCR features are a little weak in comparison. A further differentiator is the low-code factor that has allowed us to scale easily across the company.

BizTalk was selected here mainly because it is easy to integrate to a .NET application (most of them are Web Service, WCF SOAP, WCF REST and Web API) and many backend databases are Microsoft SQL Server. Another benefit is that the monitoring job is easy to set up and centralize with other .NET application monitoring jobs.

• Improve work efficiency
• Improve customer satisfaction
• Reduce the error probability of data entry

• A positive impact has been the quicker turnaround time of a part request and that part showing up in SAP using Biztalk as middleware.
• A somewhat negative impact has been the somewhat insufficient error logging/message capture settings that Biztalk provide. This has caused occasional delays when attempted to create parts for the business.
• A somewhat negative impact has been the need to have a specialized developer who understands Biztalk to troubleshoot issues with the Biztalk and SAP interaction when creating parts, and when adding new fields to the parts.
