Most everything is bias based, you cannot get around it.
Everything has its blind spots. Power Automate provides both Robotic and Enterprise scale automation. n8n is also a very good tool with open source features that make it attractive to many. But if you are a full on Microsoft + Power Platform + Office 365 for instance, then bias would dictate to at least validate the needs against the features of both to decide and if its close, PA wins. That's my trying to be not biased as I dont mind mixing thing, but doing so just to do so I do.
You are going to find people who are mixing things together, including UiPath, or Blue etc etc, but what matters more, to me, is understanding the total landscape of need(s) not just "automation" but what does your ecosystem look like, your security needs, your back office, your data, your reporting and analytics, AI you name it, I look at the entire scope before I pitch one particular thing.
if you were ONLY talking, hey I need just cloud automation, then I would still have to say, great lets discuss a full scope Use Case comparison to validate the choice, I didnt say the best choice, because thats relative (cost, support, TCO, TTM) you name it.
Unfortunately, even though i have been doing this for decades, even as the lead for this across the global Partner, FTE, ISV for the product team itself and internal MSIT, I cannot say one way or the other except for what I said already.
Anything else would me being biased.
If these suggestions help resolve your issue, Please consider Marking the answer as such and also maybe a like.
Thank you!
