Nilesh Pundkar - PeerSpot reviewer
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

"We use Power Automate for applicant tracking and automated around 80 percent of the process."
"The pricing of the solution is competitive, which is good for the Romanian market."
"From my personal experience of using Microsoft Power Automate, I think that the automatic document processing feature is helpful for many organizations in streamlining administrative processes. It is a very good feature. It has helped many enterprises to process documents without spending much time on them."
"The connectors are a very good feature."
"The solution is pretty customizable. Even big automation tasks are done rather simply."
"With the desktop version, we can automate many things. The ability to do a lot of things is one of the most valuable features."
"It's an intuitive product. It's not overly technical."
"The most advantageous aspect of the solution is its cloud capabilities."
"The product helps us build solid business use cases."
"Being able to deploy in shorter cuts."
"The product is relatively user friendly, it does what you need it to do."
"One of the most valuable things about process intelligence is that it allows you to mine data over a long period of time, such as one or two years. This gives us a deep understanding of how your processes actually work."
"The product's best feature is the connection and integration between all of the capabilities."
"It's easy to set up."
"The initial setup was simple. One can know how exactly the process performs just by clicking a few buttons."
"The most valuable feature is the integration model."
 

Cons

"The solution is not actually satisfying the complex programs that we want to execute."
"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."
"It should be more stable, and their technical support should be faster. It should also have more integration with tools from other vendors, such as SAP and Oracle, and technology partners, such as Salesforce."
"The solution could have more integration with different platforms."
"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."
"This solution should be more resilient, with robots more capable of recovering after an error."
"The solution could benefit from mirroring Oracle's use of videos and community forums to help users get acquainted with the product. It could use better online training and/or documentation."
"It should work better for Angular websites, as it has a lot of problems."
"SAP has to figure out a better way to price it. Their licensing structure isn't ideal as it's based on data; therefore, it's hard to estimate client costs."
"I would like to see a better version of the solution."
"The product doesn't allow me to focus on a particular value stream and how the value stream performs."
"The challenge for a solution that utilizes modeling notations, is that the look and feel of the models (e.g. in BPMN) is pre-defined."
"It should be able to convert business workflows into media documents quickly."
"It could be more scalable."
"The solution is not very intuitive. It is very complicated to use."
"Interface could be more user friendly."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"I give the cost a three out of ten."
"At the moment, from our experience with the two, Power Automate is a lot more expensive solution than Automation Anywhere, but it is also a far more reliable solution. With the price increases and with the current pandemic situation going on worldwide, a lot of the prices have fluctuated, but the packages and the all-encompassing features you get with the Microsoft package far outweigh the benefits from the Automation Anywhere side. Each package on the Automation Anywhere side is cheaper, but we need to continuously purchase subsequent packages to continue with our automation to the extent that we require. So, the Power Automate solution is a bit more pricey, but it does offer us a far better range of capabilities."
"There is flexibility in pricing."
"Its license is a part of our enterprise agreement. It is a three-year contract, but we pay yearly. So, it is a yearly license. There are no additional costs."
"Microsoft is providing an automatic license with a cost of $20 million per month, which is reasonable."
"This is a cost-effective RPA solution."
"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."
"Power Automate is a much less expensive product than the competition."
"I would not say the product was terribly expensive but I would not say it was cheap either."
"The pricing is expensive."
"The costs of the solution require transparency since sometimes it refers to the number of users and sometimes the amount of volume that is used"
"The solution is expensive, and I rate it an eight out of ten."
"It is a fairly expensive solution."
