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

"The solution helps automate manual tasks and interacts with multiple applications."
"The most valuable features of this solution are the automation interface and the RPA automation."
"Currently, we are mostly using the desktop part of it for data. We are basically extracting the data and then putting it in."
"The most valuable feature is that you can run multiple automations at the same time, in parallel."
"This solution improved the reporting in our organization. The financial department was doing a lot of copy pasting from different sources to create financial reports. Through ProcessRobot, we were able to automate all those copy pasting and produce all those financial reports overnight."
"For people who already use Office 365, Power Automate is very easy to integrate and use."
"The best feature is that it doesn't require any other connectivity."
"The most valuable feature of Microsoft Power Automate is the ability to automate tedious tasks."
"It's easy to set up."
"Being able to deploy in shorter cuts."
"The product's best feature is the connection and integration between all of the capabilities."
"I like the tool's ability to visualize the entire process flow, how the process flow flows, and what deviations happen from the process flow. It also helps to figure out the process bottlenecks."
"It has the ability to create journey maps, and to connect journey maps to BTMM."
"By clearly defining process owners, customers can not only better achieve their goals but are always accountable to partners and audits."
"The initial setup was simple. One can know how exactly the process performs just by clicking a few buttons."
"The backend is great."
 

Cons

"The speed of the application could be improved."
"It is challenging to scale the solution across multiple branches."
"The product should improve its RPA capabilities."
"I've had some issues with the stability."
"It would be great if it was able to integrate more with various other platforms. It would make development easier."
"There could be more communication with third-party cloud tools."
"All the services on the Microsoft platform are great. If we want to try something like with SharePoint or Azure or the 365 CRM, then we can't with the everyday community edition of the Microsoft Power Automate. It would be a good thing if there was some sort of trial period. Let's say you have 14 days. That way, can log into the loading screen with Power Automate, and get to utilize services like SharePoint, OneDrive, 365 CRM or etc. to see if they like them. It would be a good way for Microsoft to cross-sell or up-sell."
"Microsoft Power Automate is limited if we want to create a complex flow because we have to split the log into two flows."
"The solution is not very intuitive. It is very complicated to use."
"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."
"The product doesn't allow me to focus on a particular value stream and how the value stream performs."
"SAP Signavio Process Intelligence slows down when you feed a lot of data. It needs to improve its processing ability. The tool should also incorporate AI features that can automate things. Many of the competitors have this feature."
"I would like to see a better version of the solution."
"It should be able to convert business workflows into media documents quickly."
"The area that could be improved in SAP Signavio Process Intelligence is its Journey modeling feature."
"With the new release, I have some problems. Actually with Signavio, many of the processes are not viewable for unclear reasons. The product itself is reachable most of the time, but some processes are not there. Some pages do not loading at times."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Due to the pricing model, the solution is more convenient than any other tools."
"The price is right. If you have Office 365 It's included."
"The pricing of this solution is very good and for me, it's the best option there is."
"It has a cost-effective pricing model compared to competitors."
"The solution is $150 per month for the unattended add-on, and the normal Power Automate comes with an E3 license."
"It had by far the fairest licensing on the market. For the money, you got a very good value."
"There are many different ways to license it."
"Microsoft Power Automate is expensive. The full license is quite expensive."
"It is a fairly expensive solution."
"The pricing is expensive."
"The solution is expensive, and I rate it an eight out of ten."
"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"
"I would not say the product was terribly expensive but I would not say it was cheap either."
