Microsoft Power Automate vs OpenText Robotic Process Automation comparison

"There is an exhaustive amount of templates that users have access to."

"The program requires no code making it very easy to implement various functions."

"The whole platform seamlessly integrates well."

"It is basically free for me because it comes with my Office 365 subscription. The main feature is that there is abundant learning material on platforms like YouTube. You can find information about whatever you want to be done in Spanish or English without a problem. It is very easy to learn. Users can start using it on their own without any former training, which is something I like about this solution."

"This product is the best in terms of price and capabilities."

"The interface is user-friendly."

"The solution integrates more easily and with more tools than Automation Anywhere."

"I find WinAutomation's linear approach to the code and function calling valuable."

"It lets us automate almost anything, even with the legacy tools. It is very easy for us now to automate with legacy tools, which used to be difficult earlier. We work with a lot of other automation tools from Micro Focus, such as Operation Orchestration, but these tools can only connect to the API. So, there was a gap when we wanted to automate older and legacy tools that didn't have any API to connect to. We can now also automate without any changes in the customer environment. We don't need to change anything in the way that the customer environment works."

"The solution is not actually satisfying the complex programs that we want to execute."

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

"It would be great if it was able to integrate more with various other platforms. It would make development easier."

"I was working on it for around three days and then took a break of about two days. When I went back to it, all of the Excel, and all the Excel functions, just disappeared. Completely vanished. When I looked up the help, it said that sometimes that happens when you're not connected to the internet."

"Power Automate is too complicated - it forces you to go through extra tasks instead of streamlining your workflow."

"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 solution lacks maturity."

"The downside is the lack of orchestration and supplemental tools such as capturing existing processes and using them to build out."

"It currently supports only on-premises deployments. They can include support for cloud deployments. It should provide us the ability to choose a robot for executing a workflow. We want to control which robot executes a certain workflow. Right now, it automatically chooses the robot that is going to execute our workflow. It should also provide the ability to get filters on the outputs of the steps. We have each workflow as a step, and each step has some output. We would like to have the functionality to execute some script or some logic on these outputs to format the tests directly on the variables."

"With our Microsoft Office 365 license, we are able to use Microsoft Power Automate."

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

"There should be increased transparency about which features attend the pricing."

"Power Automate is a much less expensive product than the competition."

"We are just using the free products at the moment. We are using the ones that come with the license that we have got."

"We've got a subscription package. We are on a monthly package of $40. We've got some discount because we're a big corporate client of Microsoft 365 and other solutions, but the standard price of the package that we use is $40. For the product, you don't have to pay anything extra. If you're using a partner, you need to pay for their coding, advice, and services, which is a separate cost. The majority of the features are available for free for anyone who is on Microsoft 365."

"Microsoft Power Automate is part of our Office 365 package, there are no additional licensing costs."

"On a scale from one to ten, where one is cheap and ten is expensive, I rate the solution's pricing two to three out of ten."

"The pricing model is very straightforward. You can have a one-year or three-year subscription. You pay for each robot that you want to use simultaneously. If you want, you can install 50 robots and get 50 licenses. If you want to use only one robot at a time, you just need one license. For each license, you pay around 10% or 15% to support. You pay for the license, and you pay a small percentage of the cost of the license for support. This is their licensing model, which is very easy to understand."
