Executive SummaryUpdated on Dec 4, 2024

Microsoft Power Automate and ElectroNeek compete in the automation software category. Microsoft Power Automate seems to have the upper hand due to its extensive feature set and deeper integrations, especially for users within the Microsoft ecosystem, while ElectroNeek offers significant budget advantages for businesses focused on cost-effectiveness and scalability.

Features: Microsoft Power Automate provides robust integration capabilities, particularly with Office 365, a wide range of connectors, and a low-code platform that facilitates ease of use. ElectroNeek is valued for its unlimited bot deployment without additional licensing fees, a user-friendly interface, and efficient scalability, making it ideal for quick automation solutions.

Room for Improvement: Microsoft Power Automate could improve documentation, enhance integration with non-Microsoft products, and offer better error handling and advanced AI tools. ElectroNeek needs to enhance its activity library for flexibility, improve remote desktop interactions, and browser compatibility, particularly with Microsoft Edge.

Ease of Deployment and Customer Service: Microsoft Power Automate offers flexible deployment options across cloud and on-premises environments, supported by extensive documentation and a large community, although technical support experiences vary. ElectroNeek supports various deployment models, including hybrid environments, but offers limited technical support documentation and less favorable response times compared to Microsoft.

Pricing and ROI: Microsoft Power Automate presents competitive pricing, especially for organizations already using Microsoft products, offering an attractive balance of cost and functionality for extensive automation needs. ElectroNeek provides affordability with flexible yearly licensing and cost-effective scalability, delivering significant cost savings for simple automation tasks. Although Microsoft Power Automate is generally more expensive, it justifies the cost with its richer features and integrations for complex implementations.

Automates processes efficiently with cost-effective scaling and robust customer support

Web scraping is quite good since it offers a lot of possibilities. Another important feature for me is its compatibility with MBI, the Power that is ISEQUADO Centers. I appreciate the ability to scale and increase the number of bots or studios without additional expense. Automate's non-reliance on additional orchestrators makes it quite cost-effective.

IVR Developer at Orange

Good for email routing and management features but additional costs for plug-ins

Power Automate has fewer features and more limitations in general. It's not as mature a product as some of the others, like UiPath or Automate Anywhere. One of the main issues I've found is that Power Automate struggles with accessing Excel or other Office documents on servers. Even though it's a Microsoft product, we often have to log in through remote systems, and syncing can be problematic due to the way we use servers. At the very least, they should provide access to Office 365 directly, without requiring additional logins on servers. Most people utilizing Power Automate are already working within the Office 365 environment. Any proof of concepts (POCs) using Power Automate would naturally be built on top of Office 365.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The pricing is excellent. I would give them perfect marks in that regard."

"This product is quite easy to install, learn, and use, with our new employees being able to start using it in projects for clients after only two weeks of internal training."

"The ability to connect to websites and pull data is the solution's most valuable feature."

"The licensing of the product is very good. You only need to license it once and then you have it forever."

"We use it for specific cases, mainly secure file transfers, which are vital for us. And it works for us."

"The best feature of Automate is its ease of use, which is a major selling point."

"I actually quite liked the no-coding functionality."

"It's very easy to use. That's a big selling point for it. It has got a drag-and-drop interface, so you can quickly deploy bots."

More Automate pros

"The solution is user-friendly with a really good UI and ID."

"The most valuable feature is the price."

"The drag and drop feature, which is no code, is very useful for me because I am not a technical person. It is very user-friendly."

"The product's initial setup phase was easy."

"We find the OCR feature very valuable, due to the corrector recognition that it provides; this is very useful for document processing."

"My favorite feature is that you can have unlimited bots without having to buy more licenses. That's a powerful option for scalability."

"The cost is the best thing about ElectroNeek."

"ElectroNeek was extremely easy to use, especially its UI was easy to navigate with limited training."

More ElectroNeek pros

"The solution is easy to understand and to develop connectors."

"The solution is comparatively quick to deploy for making smaller automation processes."

"I believe document reading has been beneficial when dealing with Microsoft."

"Its integration with the Office 365 ecosystem is most valuable. We use a lot of ready-to-use templates."

"The most valuable feature of the solution is that it easily integrates with Azure DevOps."

"The most valuable feature of Microsoft Power Automate is the many functionalities, and ease of use. We had summer interns from college in their second year of engineering and they were able to start the building process quickly within a day."

"We use Power Automate for applicant tracking and automated around 80 percent of the process."

"Its ease of use is most valuable. A lot of the bulk functionality is done either through standalone or custom connectors and standard API processes."

More Microsoft Power Automate pros

Cons

"Some companies have asked for voice integration. This is likely part of the roadmap."

"I would like the updates to be easier to deploy. Integration with Amazon S3 is somewhat lacking."

"It would be an improvement if Automate had better stability tools, whether by recommending a certain amount of memory because it can be a memory hog at times."

"The workflow for variables could be better. The input and output of task-level variables could be made a little clearer in terms of passing those around from one task to another upon success, etc. Things like that could be a little easier potentially."

"The technical support could be better. We suffer from language barriers, as we are in Argentina."

"I would prefer not having to log in to update a ticket; being able to respond via email would be beneficial."

"I currently have three bugs open with them that I don't know if they are addressed in the new release."

"The intelligent automation feature could be improved. It's interesting because it's simple, but the automation quality isn't always good. It's easy to use, but sometimes you need to make a slight improvement to the automation, and that's not so easy."

More Automate cons

"The integrating capability of the product needs to be improved, to ensure that it works with all systems involved in a process."

"Its price could definitely be lower."

"The solution needs to improve its stability."

"When I wanted to use web scraping for tables in web applications, I found through online forums that such functionality or activity is currently not working as it shows."

"I think that this solution could improve remote desktop interactions."

"It's not applicable to very large enterprises and for difficult work or more complex processes."

"The solution works well with Google Chrome, but not with Microsoft Edge, which is the browser we use for automation."

"ElectroNeek comes with three activities and we cannot add activities like we can with uiPADs."

More ElectroNeek cons

"While Microsoft has a way of integrating well with itself and its own internal tools, it could do more to include external options and add them to the mix."

"The solution is difficult to customize. I would like to see more flexibility when it comes to using different kinds of activities."

"Any task that is automated needs to be very simple. This tool does not seem to handle complicated tasks very well."

"The solution could use some more advanced AI tools. It's one of the solution's only weaknesses."

"We are looking to see more features implemented there are already available in UiPath or Automation Anywhere."

"It should be faster and more user-friendly."

"The product should improve its RPA capabilities."

"Microsoft shouldn't charge extra for the database license if you want to store the data in the database during the trial. We wanted to have a historical trend of the data, and we started with the trial version of the tool. The database license is not included with the trial version, and you have to purchase it separately. Because we had a budget constraint, we had to pull all the information manually from the system, massage it, and push it to the dashboard. About two months ago, we have upgraded to the full-fledged version in which the database is integrated. The database license should be there in the trial version, but they have totally decoupled it. They should have provided a bundle, at least for the trial version, so that once a person or a firm gets a sense of it, they can start building. It might be because they wanted to sell additional licenses or premium licenses, and that's why they have added it in the premium version. It should have more cognitive features. Automation Anywhere and UiPath are different because they have cognitive functionality plus intelligent automation. The cognitive functionality is currently not there in Microsoft Power Automate. It is just for workflow automation and basic bot-level tasks. It should have more cognitive features, which probably will be launched in a couple of years."

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The pricing is quite reasonable. We can run the process with one bot. The limitation is at the server level because they have some resources, and sometimes that is enough. It isn't too expensive, so you can get a good return off of one, and you can also have a pack of five bots that is quite competitive."

"It has gone up in price. The price of Fortra's Automate has increased since we first started using it. It does a lot but also costs a lot. It was a lot more affordable before Fortra owned the software."

"From a distributor's perspective, one of the biggest selling points of Automate is its price point."

"Compared to other products, the pricing model for this solution is much more convenient, flexible, and adaptable to the Portuguese reality."

"I believe the price falls within a reasonable range, which significantly influenced our decision regarding the product. This aspect is crucial for any technological solution, especially in our country where enterprises might be hesitant to invest heavily in something untested or uncertain about its practicality and potential returns."

"While solutions like UiPath and Blue Prism cost around $11,000-$12,000 for each license, this product costs around $7,000 and you can keep it forever."

"The cost is a bit high for a small business like ours, but we manage with Fortra's Automate."

"I like the way this solution is priced because you can buy a license, or you can buy the software outright."

More Automate pricing and cost advice

"I believe we had a Silver Membership or something similar annually."

"My company has made a payment towards the purchase of a license from ElectorNeek."

"I give the price an eight out of ten."

"Its price could definitely be lower. Its licensing is on a yearly basis. There is no additional cost to the standard licensing fees."

"On a scale of one to ten, where one is cheap, and ten is expensive, I rate the pricing a seven."

"It's very affordable and the licensing is billed on a yearly basis."

"This is a cost-effective RPA solution."

"The license cost could be better."

"The platform is averagely priced. I rate the pricing a five out of ten."

"The licensing cost for us at this time is between $8 and $20 per user, per month."

"I give the cost a three out of ten."

"Comparatively, WinAutomation is cheaper than the other automation tools. When we purchased the license, it was around $50 or $60 per user most probably per month."

"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."

"When we purchase the Microsoft Dynamics license, the Power Automate license is often free, albeit with some limitations, such as a certain number of transactions per user."
