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.

Discovery and root cause analysis are key benefits; its own dashboard is a standout feature
I think the company has the technology for continued improvement of its communications, the one-on-one with clients. They have improved their software over time but there is still more to be done, particularly with the user interface. They could include numerous additional features but I'm not sure if we are in a position to utilize them. The solution could be more flexible and intuitive.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"It's not hard to learn, which means we'll be able to make more workflows in the future."
"It helps with the feedback mechanism, where we need to determine the relevant team and obtain their email addresses."
"The connectors are a very good feature."
"It is very easy to learn and use. It is quite useful for any sort of back-office work. Any kind of work with low and medium complexity is very doable in ProcessRobot. For higher complexity, some refinement is required, but it is doable."
"The product provides valuable integration with other Microsoft tools."
"It is a low-code platform. It is easy to use and good for automating small tasks such as expense approvals, timesheet approvals, etc."
"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."
"You can create a flow, and it can be shared across different environments."
"Discovery and root cause analysis"
"I have found the most valuable features of QPR ProcessAnalyzer to be Process Discovery, KPIs, definition, and dashboarding. These are the main features we are working on."
 

Cons

"It doesn't have any OCR capabilities."
"Sometimes there are issues with security policies within the company. Some parts get blacked. There are some drawbacks when we use it connected to the cloud. We need to convince clients to open some parts. This is often an issue that originates from the company itself, not Power Automate."
"Inability to use a lot of connectors without having a premium license."
"Better support is needed for building custom components on top of ProcessRobot."
"During their merger, some key functions were eliminated which no longer allows it to run independently from the cloud as a standalone for other companies. For example, options to schedule and trigger have been removed. It would be nice to have these capabilities back. The flow and the connectivity between databases and so on is a bit complex as well."
"For countries in our region, it's not very well known."
"Microsoft Power Automate requires some knowledge and understanding of nuances for setup and security approvals."
"There is a limitation in setting up loops, where it does not support multiple conditions."
"The user interface of QPR ProcessAnalyzer could improve, it is not very intuitive."
"Communication with clients could be improved."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"There are many different ways to license it."
"The licensing price should be more cost-effective."
"It is free for us. It is embedded directly in the Office package."
"The free version is quite good."
"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."
"This is a cost-effective RPA solution."
"The solution is $150 per month for the unattended add-on, and the normal Power Automate comes with an E3 license."
"Its licensing is flexible."
"The price of QPR ProcessAnalyzer is more competitive compared to other solutions."
