Executive SummaryUpdated on Dec 1, 2024

Microsoft Power Automate and SAP Signavio Process Intelligence compete in the automation and process management software category. Microsoft Power Automate holds the upper hand in integration and cost-effectiveness with Microsoft products, while SAP Signavio excels in deep process analysis capabilities.

Features: Microsoft Power Automate offers ease of use with a low-code environment, numerous connectors for integration, and seamless compatibility with Microsoft Office 365, making it ideal for non-tech users. On the other hand, SAP Signavio Process Intelligence provides comprehensive process mining and simulation features alongside a collaborative hub for unified process management.

Room for Improvement: Microsoft Power Automate needs enhancements in AI capabilities, broader integration with non-Microsoft products, and better documentation for complex automation. SAP Signavio Process Intelligence could improve its processing speed for large datasets and expand its out-of-the-box features for business process visualization.

Ease of Deployment and Customer Service: Microsoft Power Automate supports diverse deployment options like Public, Private, and Hybrid Clouds with a user-friendly interface. Its customer service is robust but documentation can be improved. SAP Signavio supports Hybrid and Public Cloud deployments, focusing more on flexibility. Its customer service could benefit from improved responsiveness and documentation depth.

Pricing and ROI: Microsoft Power Automate is cost-effective for Office 365 users with flexible pricing, either per user or per flow. SAP Signavio's pricing is complex, based on data usage, and generally perceived as expensive. Both solutions offer strong ROI, with Microsoft Power Automate benefiting from reduced deployment and training costs, while SAP Signavio provides substantial process optimization.

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

"For people who already use Office 365, Power Automate is very easy to integrate and use."

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

"The best part is the automated workflow, which is quite good and easy. It is just drag-and-drop. We are able to create workflows quite quickly. We are able to directly integrate the data that it generates with Power BI dashboards. Its integration is quite good with other Microsoft tools, such as Power BI. The visualization of the data has become helpful for us."

"Power Automate is not complex and is very easy-to-use in deploying most development projects."

"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."

"The most valuable feature is that it easily integrates with other Microsoft products, so it has multiple connectors. You can create solutions that connect to Teams, Outlook, SharePoint, and OneDrive."

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

"The initial setup is pretty easy."

More Microsoft Power Automate pros

"By clearly defining process owners, customers can not only better achieve their goals but are always accountable to partners and audits."

"The product is relatively user friendly, it does what you need it to do."

"The product's best feature is the connection and integration between all of the capabilities."

"The product helps us build solid business use cases."

"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."

"Everything is valuable. If you're looking at the process documentation feature, it's really easy to use. We have official training from Signavio trainers, but sometimes I do the training myself very shortly for our colleagues. In less than one or two hours, they are already able to model the business process themselves. The language is really easy. The user interface is really easy. If you're talking about process simulation, we have customers and clients internally who are using it a lot, because they are from logistics or operations. They have numbers and KPIs behind the process. They know their numbers, so they have to see how they can improve a given business processes with a change in the task sequence or a change in the numbers of KPIs. If you're talking about the process mining, it is integrated into the whole solution."

"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."

"Being able to deploy in shorter cuts."

Cons

"If the product had onscreen help, it would be easier to learn and use."

"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."

"It lacks a lot of functionality that other tools have. There should be queue management, and there should also be the capability to deal with a little bit more complex automation. If it had queue support and if it was capable of doing more complex automation, it would be a much better tool."

"I had some experience in the past with the solution having some difficulties with large loads, it is already better but it could still be improved."

"Their OCR capabilities are not as evolved as the other tools."

"When comparing with Automation Anywhere, there are a couple of things that this product doesn't have. One of the major things is the key management system. It would be great if they improve this. Its documentation can also be improved."

"It is mostly integrated with the Microsoft environment. Unlike UiPath, we cannot really use external tools with Microsoft Power Automate. There should be a possibility to integrate it with external tools or systems."

"Things need to be improved with respect to RPA kinds of solutions."

More Microsoft Power Automate cons

"When it comes to Signavio, as I've worked on Celonis, I've observed two things in Celonis and Signavio. In Celonis, using the process mining tool, we can implement automation skills. So we can take actions to improve the process as well. That is one thing."

"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."

"It should be able to convert business workflows into media documents quickly."

"I would like to see a better version of the solution."

"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."

"It could be more scalable."

"The UI could be improved."

More SAP Signavio Process Intelligence cons

Pricing and Cost Advice

"When we purchase the Microsoft Dynamics license, the Power Automate license is often free, albeit with some limitations, such as a certain number of transactions per user."

"There are many different ways to license it."

"I am not aware of the recent pricing model, but during the time that I was using this solution is was reasonable."

"It comes with the Microsoft suite. I'd rate it an eight out of ten in terms of pricing."

"We are using the free version of Power Automate."

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

"The solution is $150 per month for the unattended add-on, and the normal Power Automate comes with an E3 license."

"It costs us nothing because we use it on the built-in cost that is a part of our existing license for 365. To use it more extensively, there are different pricing models. Its licensing is complex. It is complex to evaluate the cost in advance. As a result, people don't use it because they don't know what overall cost they are going to incur. There are too many criteria to figure out how much it is going to cost you to use the product to its full extent. Its licensing model should be improved, and the pricing should be more visible and transparent."

More Microsoft Power Automate pricing and cost advice

"It is a fairly expensive solution."

"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"

"The pricing is expensive."

"I would not say the product was terribly expensive but I would not say it was cheap either."
