Executive SummaryUpdated on Dec 4, 2024

EdgeVerve AssistEdge RPA and Microsoft Power Automate are competing products in the realm of robotic process automation. Microsoft Power Automate tends to have the upper hand owing to its comprehensive features and seamless integration capabilities within the Microsoft ecosystem.

Features: EdgeVerve AssistEdge RPA provides advanced automation capabilities such as efficient process mapping, task monitoring, and a robust user interface that simplifies complex tasks. Microsoft Power Automate excels in offering seamless integration with Microsoft 365, extensive cloud capabilities, and a low-code platform, making automation accessible for non-technical users.

Room for Improvement: AssistEdge RPA could enhance its user interface for broader accessibility and improve its integration capabilities with non-native systems. It also needs to provide more comprehensive documentation. Microsoft Power Automate may require enhancements in handling more complex automation scenarios, better support for non-Microsoft applications, and expanded functionality in AI-driven automation.

Ease of Deployment and Customer Service: Microsoft Power Automate benefits from a straightforward deployment process, thanks to deep integration within the Microsoft ecosystem and extensive online resources. AssistEdge RPA offers guided deployment support with hands-on assistance, focusing on helping users through the implementation phase.

Pricing and ROI: EdgeVerve AssistEdge RPA often presents lower initial costs and quicker ROI for businesses with specific automation needs, positioning itself as budget-friendly for small to mid-sized companies. Microsoft Power Automate, although more costly at the outset, provides substantial value through its expansive feature set and integration benefits, translating into higher long-term ROI, especially for enterprises deeply integrated into the Microsoft ecosystem.

Featured Reviews

Rusty Bradford - PeerSpot reviewer
The support team was great, but we had to rely on them too much because it lacks a drag-and-drop interface and everything is hard coded
Implementing new automations could be more seamless. It was challenging to build within, so we were highly dependent on Infosys developers. They had us over a barrel with that. AssistEdge isn't a simple tool like Blue Prism or other RPA solutions with configurable items that you can drag and drop. This involved a lot of hard coding, which posed two challenges. One, we did not have that skillset, so we depended on Infosys. Two, it's a beast to go back and update or make changes when things are hard coded because you can't just move those configurable items back around.

Gowtham J - PeerSpot reviewer
Provides valuable integration with other Microsoft tools
The initial setup process involves three trigger points. One is a manual trigger, where users interact with a button or interface element to start the flow. The second is the recurrence trigger, which allows users to schedule automated maintenance at a specific time. Third is a data-driven trigger, where the flow is initiated based on an event in a database, such as creating a new line item in SharePoint database. Once triggered, the flow continues to execute, performing the configured actions and providing the results.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"The tool follows a role-based working model to create things. It helps to track what others are doing with the system."
"AssistEdge made it so that the reps didn't need to maneuver through 10 or 20 different systems. We tied all that together in the background, so the reps had a shared UI, and everything else happened in the background without their knowledge. When they were retrieving data, it was done in the background through automation and pulling up to that generic UI layer"
"Good email automation and XL automation."
"The feature I like the most is the ability to capture elements easily, especially when automating web-based applications. Additionally, I find the SAP connectors to be quite beneficial."
"The user interface is not complicated, even for new users. Two to three weeks is enough to get ahold of it."
"To me, what's most useful in WinAutomation by Softomotive is that it's quite intuitive, especially because most of the capabilities of the older WinAutomation remain. You also don't need to do or know hard coding, and this is another useful feature of the solution. I also like that WinAutomation by Softomotive integrates very well with Microsoft products, especially Microsoft Office, and this is great news because most companies use Microsoft Office. Having a very good integration with the Microsoft Office suite covers a lot of bases, and is one of the advantages of WinAutomation by Softomotive."
"The product is very stable."
"Third-party integrations with third-party applications are quite easy."
"The solution offers a lot of documentation and tutorials for users to learn about various aspects and features."
"Power Automate is intuitive and easy to use."
"For people who already use Office 365, Power Automate is very easy to integrate and use."
"The feature most useful for integrating different applications is its ability to create flows. Specifically, we use flows to integrate with finance and operations."
"The most valuable feature is that it easily integrates with other Microsoft products, so it has multiple connectors. You can create solutions that connect to Teams, Outlook, SharePoint, and OneDrive."
More Microsoft Power Automate pros
 

Cons

"In my opinion, areas for improvement in this solution lie in handling documentation, especially when dealing with data from various layouts or formats like scanned PDFs. Currently, new features are emerging in other tools, like generative AI, that could enhance these aspects."
"The tool's alternatives work on drag-and-drop functionality without creating custom code. We don't have an in-built queue system and use RabbitMQ for it. The solution also doesn't have a framework."
"AssistEdge isn't a simple tool like Blue Prism or other RPA solutions with configurable items that you can drag and drop. This involved a lot of hard coding, which posed two challenges. One, we did not have that skillset, so we depended on Infosys. Two, it's a beast to go back and update or make changes when things are hard coded because you can't just move those configurable items back around."
"There should be more activities like extraction for reading or converting PDFs. There are fewer activities compared to other tools. There are no custom activities."
"Lacks integration with third party tools."
"There are some bugs or intermittent behavior in the Excel activities that require using workarounds."
"The BPM component needs improvement."
"Microsoft could offer more AI education and training."
"The UI of the solution is not so good."
"It should be more stable, and their technical support should be faster. It should also have more integration with tools from other vendors, such as SAP and Oracle, and technology partners, such as Salesforce."
"If someone was just about to start using it, it would be better if it was a bit more user-friendly in terms of understanding function references. I come from a bit of development background. To me, it all makes quite a lot of sense, but someone using it for the first time would probably battle understanding how the functions work. This might be something they could improve on. It would be really useful if it could publish data to Power BI. We like to use Power BI for our reporting, but we can't directly integrate the data across. If there was a way to automate the collection of the data and push it straight into the Power BI platform, it would be quite useful."
"I've had issues with reordering columns. When I tried to do it, it seemed to take a long time, and then, later, it gave me some kind of error."
"The debugging tools require improvement as well as the monitoring which goes along with it."

Pricing and Cost Advice

"EdgeVerve AssistEdge RPA is cheaper compared to other RPA tools."
"Currently, we are using the free license for testing. After everything is done, we'll buy the license."
"When accompanying customers, we discuss the license requirements. Based on these requirements, we suggest whether a per-user plan or multiple platforms per-user plan would be best."
"We are using the free version of Power Automate."
"With our Microsoft Office 365 license, we are able to use Microsoft Power Automate."
"This is a cost-effective product and now that it has been acquired by Microsoft, we don't expect the cost to increase with the next release."
"There is a per-user licensing model for individual users."
"You can have two types of licenses, one is user-based, and the other is app-based in the Power Platform."
"I don't deal with the financial side. I know that we pay for a per-user license. It is probably less than $20 a user, but I am not sure about the exact figures."
