| Robots run (speed) |
Faster |
|
Executing tasks slower |
|
| Robots run performance |
Run into errors/ exceptions much less; much more reliable |
|
Run into errors/ exceptions a lot more; less reliable |
|
| Advantages |
Overall performance. Integrates with libraries to help in tasks. A serious team of developers would choose actual coding |
Accessible nature to non-programmers (mostly code-free); a design allows it to solve difficult jobs |
| Disadvantages |
Requires more advanced coding to deal with complex tasks |
Less flexibility of functions and workflows |
| Invoke Python Method |
|
Python is indirectly called from C# routines |
Requires downloading the Python Activities pack first |
Has a python script package |

Enable to design automation processes visually, through diagrams. The developer need not know a programming language |
Is developer friendly and offers both visual and programming features. Business users can build bots with drag n drop feature. Beginners benefit from the built-in product walk-through |
| Applications |
Helps app automation |
Mainly for enterprise automation |
The list for the application areas to use Python is endless: Games, browsers, computations, animation, 3D, office programs, and scientific representations, Instagram, Dropbox, Quora, movies like marvel films, school assignments, projects, and other projects like Artificial Intelligence |
Employs robotics to automate recurring tasks that humans usually perform. Instead of repeatedly performing a task, it aims to automate the process, even without your intervention. RPA technology is ideal for repetitive, voluminous, tasking, and high-value jobs in an organization. Telecommunication firms use it to deliver quality customer services and mine data from various sources. The bots assist accountants in budgeting, managing transactions, and other duties that don’t necessarily need human input. |
| Pricing |
Cost-friendly since it is an open-source tool |
Per bot. High cost of acquisition, limited training is available |
Per application. Aggressive, attractive entry level pricing |
Per bot. The lowest total cost of ownership because of its native capabilities and web-based architecture |
