Asvinth Saravanan - PeerSpot reviewer
Has limited functionality, logging uses extensive resources; automation replay is great
This solution is not very user-friendly and I would not recommend it for robotic platforms. It has limited functionality and the logging takes over 1,000 GB. As a result, each year we need to increase the size of the database and create a workaround by archiving logs. It impacts performance and is a significant pain point for us. The logging is not user-friendly from an architect's perspective. The reporting is a mess in INTELLIBOT, even the developers are struggling to identify the issues and there are also problems when there are two cases hitting the queue.
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

"It is a stable product. We have been using it for 15 months now, and there have been no issues."
"For machine learning, there is an in-built document and text classification feature in INTELLIBOT. That is unlike other RPA tools where one needs to procure a separate license. Besides this, the application is easy to use. One valuable feature is the drag-and-drop feature for AI and email intelligence. It is easier than using UiPath's IQ bot."
"There's a helpful community available through the portal."
"This solution is easy to use and requires little coding knowledge."
"The return on investment is pretty good because the license cost is cheaper than other RPA tools in the market."
"I have found the most valuable feature to be the straightforward visual editor, it has close to no code required. It allowed us to deploy the email monitoring in this couple of weeks."
"The replay of the automation is an awesome feature."
"Microsoft Power Automate is a no-code platform which is very easy to learn, allowing businesses to build their own small automations."
"It helps with the feedback mechanism, where we need to determine the relevant team and obtain their email addresses."
"The tool is very good at implementing automation within processes. It's saved us from doing a lot of manual processes."
"Power Automate Desktop allowed me to quickly visually identify parts of a screen and record it. So I can see that I know I'm going to have to click this button here, this field there, and this tab here, and I can literally go and quickly just record all of them and identify them and have them in a list that I can see and say - there's my list of things."
"The solution is relatively easy to use and cost-effective."
"Microsoft Power Automate offers over 200 connectors that enhance the user experience."
"The feature most useful for integrating different applications is its ability to create flows. Specifically, we use flows to integrate with finance and operations."
"Overall, it is a great service at the given price. It is very modern, and it integrates in a great way with pretty much anything. It is also fast."
 

Cons

"The solution is heavily dependant on scripts, such as JavaScript or any other external script that needs to be a part of the system. If they want to grow, the scripting dependency should go away. They should have built-in libraries to pull in work from."
"I would like to see the cognitive marketing platform improved."
"The trigger actions need to be more robust."
"Has limited functionality and uses extensive resources."
"A couple of times, we noticed that some bugs caused the bot to go in the wrong flow."
"The first pain point of INTELLIBOT was with the development. Whenever the company developed any command, they published it directly onto their SQL site, and our current automation got auto-updated. The second pain point was with the action set. It could be stronger. Moreover, if I am doing UiPath automation, I have to do it with the Internal Report for now."
"Currently, there are not many documents available on Google that explain each activity and how to use it or how to use the parameters and pass values."
"AI-enabled voice recognition features could be included in the product."
"Looping can be a bit tricky."
"WinAutomation is scalable to a certain extent. I would rate it seven for the scalability, which could be better. Softomotive is better scalable than WinAutomation in this regard."
"It's not as user-friendly as a solution such as UiPath, which is really easy to use."
"When compared to other workflow automation tools out there, it's just not as mature."
"While working with big data, when we have structured data like logs, we have to work with an ETL tool before manipulating the data and creating the workflows and the forms. This can be improved. Big data support is something that I'd like to be covered a lot."
"Technical support needs to be able to respond quickly to queries. Right now, they are much too slow."
"The integration of our system into Power Automate was a bit tricky. We had to put a data lake in place before automating anything because we were not very structured in terms of data. Our major issue was cleaning up the data."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"INTELLIBOT with the DPA costs approximately $1,500 USD."
"The solution requires a license and we purchased one annually. We were satisfied with the price."
"At the time, one license was $5,000 USD. If we needed to negotiate for more licenses, we could negotiate a bit on the price."
"It is quite cheap. In the year 2019, it was $1000 for a year."
"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."
"The pricing is reasonable and the western license is fantastic."
"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."
"It costs us nothing because we use it on the built-in cost that is a part of our existing license for 365. To use it more extensively, there are different pricing models. Its licensing is complex. It is complex to evaluate the cost in advance. As a result, people don't use it because they don't know what overall cost they are going to incur. There are too many criteria to figure out how much it is going to cost you to use the product to its full extent. Its licensing model should be improved, and the pricing should be more visible and transparent."
"Good price-quality relationship. Its features for its price were the best fit for our company."
"I would rate the pricing an eight out of ten, with ten being expensive because there are charges for additional plug-ins."
"The licensing cost for us at this time is between $8 and $20 per user, per month."
"The solution is free with Microsoft 365."
