Microsoft Power Automate vs NTT-AT WinActor comparison

"So far, the tech support has provided me with good enough support and knowledge."

"Microsoft Power Automate is very easy to use."

"This product has an easy-to-use interface with nice detail in the features."

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

"It is a great solution for simple automation activities or simple automation of simple tasks. It is also integrated with Office 365. Integration is an absolute breeze with any RPA software."

"The most valuable feature is how much you can do with this solution."

"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 initial setup was easy. It was very easy for people to pick up. The deployment took a few hours."

"This software is very smart - it can decide from a picture if we like that condition, and then the robot will do that action."

"The tool's most valuable feature is data import. The OCR feature helps to recognize the data. It can recognize screen and document numbers well."

"The thing which needs the most improvement is really the documentation. It should have better details of the processes."

"From an improvement perspective, Microsoft just needs to make sure that they have a real enterprise RPA tool. PowerApps and Power Automate are still not at the level of UiPath and Automation Anywhere. It could be because Automation Anywhere and UiPath have been in the market for quite some time. It's just about Microsoft increasing their focus in terms of product reviews and development and making them competitive products that one can consider at an enterprise level. Right now, their use cases are limited as compared to what one would consider doing with UiPath and Automation Anywhere."

"It doesn't have any OCR capabilities."

"The licensing model is difficult to understand and is something that should be improved."

"Enhancing Power Automate to work synchronously instead of asynchronously would eliminate the need for additional coding, saving time in project implementation."

"Its licensing model should be improved. The pricing should be more visible and transparent. When you consume services, there are too many criteria to figure out how much it is going to cost you to use the product to its full extent. It should also support visual process editing, which is a standard feature for BPMN 2.0 compliance. They should improve the visual designer."

"The licensing model could be improved to make it easier to understand and follow, as it is difficult to determine if the embedded license provides all functionalities or if additional licenses are needed."

"The BPM component needs improvement."

"The OCR has issues recognizing handwritten data."

"Something that could be improved is that this solution can't run when the computer is locked, which meant we had to implement it in our own on-prem server as it never auto-locks."

"Microsoft Power Automate is expensive. The full license is quite expensive."

"It has a cost-effective pricing model compared to competitors."

"There is a per-user licensing model for individual users."

"The cost to use Microsoft Power Automate is approximately $15 per user per month, for the basic plan. However, the solution comes free with the Microsoft 365 Suite."

"The free version is quite good."

"Licensing is on an annual basis."

"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 use Office 365 and this solution is free for me to use with the package we have. We have plans to increase the usage of Microsoft Power Automate."

"We pay yearly for the agent who runs the processes, plus an additional fee for maintenance costs."
