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

"The solution offers a lot of documentation and tutorials for users to learn about various aspects and features."
"The solution is relatively easy to use and cost-effective."
"Microsoft Power Automate is an easy-to-understand solution."
"The most valuable feature is the ability and ease of linking multiple connectors within the same flow."
"It is easy to migrate from other tools to Power Automate."
"The solution helps automate manual tasks and interacts with multiple applications."
"It is a very useful solution. You don't need to create an infrastructure in your environment just for triggers or executions. You don't need to invest in the infrastructure. With Power Automate, we can call or trigger custom web services and routines. We are also using the flow for gathering data from Microsoft Dynamics."
"The most valuable features of this solution are the cost and ease of use, it's very simple."
"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."
"The backend is great."
"It's easy to set up."
"The product helps us build solid business use cases."
"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."
"It has the ability to create journey maps, and to connect journey maps to BTMM."
"The product's best feature is the connection and integration between all of the capabilities."
 

Cons

"Microsoft Power Automate could improve by offering recurring execution on the desktop."
"They can build more templates and more connectivity with other platforms. They can provide a more user-friendly way to connect with other platforms. They have their own in-built plugins for certain third-party vendors, but there are still a lot of third-party vendors that are not there."
"When compared to other workflow automation tools out there, it's just not as mature."
"The thing which needs the most improvement is really the documentation. It should have better details of the processes."
"There are some bugs or intermittent behavior in the Excel activities that require using workarounds."
"I need to have more integration capabilities from this solution."
"One of the challenges is dealing with OCR text recognition."
"The connectors and the integration capability can be improved. Microsoft RPA is a growing platform, and it is not yet particularly mature."
"There could be more standard interfaces for importing data from the various systems in the process landscape."
"It could be more scalable."
"Interface could be more user friendly."
"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."
"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 should be able to convert business workflows into media documents quickly."
"The product doesn't allow me to focus on a particular value stream and how the value stream performs."
"The solution is not very intuitive. It is very complicated to use."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"You pay for use and if you want a premium connector or adapter, but a lot of things are available for free."
"The price of the solution is reasonable. I rate the pricing a five out of ten."
"I would rate the pricing an eight out of ten, with ten being expensive because there are charges for additional plug-ins."
"We have it on our system. I don't really know if we need a separate license."
"It is free with Office 365 subscription."
"Good price-quality relationship. Its features for its price were the best fit for our company."
"Its licensing is flexible."
"It comes with the Microsoft suite. I'd rate it an eight out of ten in terms of pricing."
"I would not say the product was terribly expensive but I would not say it was cheap either."
"The solution is expensive, and I rate it an eight out of ten."
"It is a fairly expensive solution."
"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"
