Sometimes the screen scrapping feature doesn't work well for me, and it's pretty slow... so if it can connect and get data directly from the database, it would be very good.

Trying to figure out which RPA app is best for streamlining workflow in my business and the more I dig in, the more I realize "best" is doing a lot of heavy lifting in that question. It completely changes depending on your stack, your team's technical comfort, and what "streamlining" actually means for your specific operations.
Putting this to the G2 community because real-world experience tends to cut through the noise faster than spec sheets. Here are the top tools I've been looking at in the RPA software category:
- UiPath Agentic Automation: The drag-and-drop Studio is widely praised, but for non-developers, how much hand-holding does it actually take to get a real production workflow running unsupervised?
- Automation Anywhere Agentic Process Automation: No on-prem install needed. How does it hold up when workflows span both cloud apps and older legacy systems at the same time?
- Microsoft Power Automate: Obvious choice in a Microsoft-heavy stack. For organizations whose tools mostly sit outside that ecosystem, is it still worth evaluating?
- SS&C Blue Prism Intelligent Automation Platform: Known for stability in large deployments. For a mid-sized team without a dedicated RPA ops function, does the governance overhead become a job in itself?
- Appian: For teams wanting to tie automation to broader process redesign rather than just task execution, does it actually serve that better than a dedicated RPA tool?
What's the one workflow win that genuinely changed how your team operates? Curious whether the impact came from the tool itself or the process thinking that happened before picking it.
The more teams I talk to, the more I suspect the businesses getting the most out of RPA spent as much time mapping their processes before implementation as they did on the tool itself. Has that been anyone else's experience?
